• A virginal or naive young woman
• A villain or tyrant
• An older, foolish woman
• Stupid servants or people (for comic relief)
• Weak or foolish clergy
• Ruffians
• A madman

A "CAD" is a man who is charming or good looking, a handsome devil. A man who behaves dishonorably, esp. toward a woman

A "CAM" is A projection on a rotating part in machinery, designed to make sliding contact with another part while rotating and impart reciprocal parts.

CAM means computer aided manufacturing.

A a hitchhiker might take with him the following items in order to seem less dangerous:

• An infant or child
• a puppy or small dog
• a bouquet of flowers
• a teddy bear
• a woman
• a very pregnant woman
• offering to let you call his mother
• Photo Identification
• Notorized Legal Document saying he's never been in jail
• A sign saying Veteran
• A sign saying "Unemployed Fire Fighter"
• A sign saying "My dad's a cop"
• A sign saying "Rich Kid with Trust Fund"
• His attorney next to him to witness papers that you'll be paid handsomely for the ride.

Just to not be sexist, a female hitchhiker could be dangerous too.

NOTE: Hitchhiking is against the law in most States.

To impress a woman you would have to do a number of things.

1. Communication is always the key in starting a healthy relationship

2.You must always treat a woman with respect

3.Do not lie to your woman

4.Always make her happy, But don't spoil her

5.DO NOT ASSUME THINGS ABOUT YOUR WOMAN

A woman's view:

The best way to impress a woman is to be yourself, be sincere, and don't deliberately try to impress her. Women prefer sincerity, honesty, a man who is comfortable in just being himself, and one who has a job.

Per Islam teachings, the husband prime responsibility is to cover the family expenses even if his wife works and even if she is earning more money than the husband. In addition, Muslims believe in God holy books (including Torah and Bible), and in both religions of Judaism and Christianity, and in all God prophets (including Abraham, Moses, and Jesus) while Jews and Christians do not believe in Islam, in Quran, and in prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

So, it is logic if husband is Muslim to accept for his Christian or Jewish wife to practice her ritual worships, social activities, and clothing according to her Christian or Jewish religion. However, if the husband is Christian or Jewish he may not accept his Muslim wife to practice her ritual worships, social activities, and clothing according to her Islam religion.

That is why a Muslim man can marry a Christian or Jewish girl/woman while a Muslim girl can not marry a Christian or Jewish man.

Another view point

Some others have the view point that any person of any faith can marry anyone they want and that love conquers all, even religion, obstacles and barriers. However, this is true only if you are not committed to a religion with God or not believing in God at all. If you are committed with God through any religion, what so ever, you have to fulfill this commitment. This is in analogy to one committed with an employer through a work contract (despite the difference between commitment in contract with God, the Creator, and commitment in contract with an employer, creature). Does falling in love with someone entitle you not to go for work or not to fulfill your work contract commitments? The same answer applies to your commitment with God when you fall in love and thinking of marriage. On the other hand, of course you have full right and full choice to select either to fulfill religion commitment or to abandon the religion you committed to and throw it behind. However, choice is responsibility. You should be aware that your choice defines the consequences that you get.

To sun up, the marriage rule per Islam religion is that:

• A Muslim man can marry only Muslim, Christian, or Jewish woman
• A Muslim woman can marry only a Muslim man

Some of the things that can trigger SHC is:

When the victim has been heavily drinking

When the victims has been under heavy emotional stress

When the victim is own their own

Also:

Most of the victims are woman

A yellow, foul smelling oil is usually surrounding the body

The torso, including the chest, abdomen and hips tend to be totally consumed, sparing portions of the arms and legs and the head. The clothing can also be intact

The body is very badly burned, but the room the body was found in is pretty much intact except for a fine layer of soot

Most of the victims were overweight and/or alcoholics.

---Yes, it does. Even though it is very rare, it does occur. There's a list of known victims of SHC in wiki. Hope this helps. By darkmatter1123

While some women can try to manipulate a man, through misguided attempts, most women do NOT do this.

Reasons a woman might say she's pregnant when she is not:

1. Misinformation about pregnancy signs and symptoms, especially based only on "symptoms" which can often overlap other problems... example: nausea
2. Misreading the causes of a "skipped period"
3. A skipped period causing such panic that a girl concludes she is pregnant when she is NOT.
4. Being young and immature; straight out manipulation for no real reason
   
5. Wanting so badly to keep a boyfriend that the "pregnancy lie" seems to be a good way to keep him - especially a teen or younger woman
6. A strong desire to be pregnant (by anyone - baby for baby's sake only)
7. A misguided attempt to force a guy to marry the girl
8. A desire for drama or attention, even if negative attention
9. A need to "control" a man, even through control over his emotions
10. To make a guy "prove" that he loves the girl

Some tell-tale signs of "pregnancy lies" might include:

1. The story does not make Medical Logic - Example: Sperm do not burrow through clothing! Dry humping with clothes on will not cause pregnancy. Or, kissing does not cause pregnancy. Most often, pregnancy ONLY occurs when a penis has been inside the vagina. Sperm do not crawl, burrow, jump, attack, swim through (hot tubs, pool water, creeks, streams or rivers), jump up from toilet seats, mysteriously fly into the uterus from some other place or object (like a towel), transfer from hand-holding, or go from a girl's mouth to stomach to the uterus -- these are impossibilities.
2. Repeated "pregnancy scares" over and over. If it truly happened once, both people should be scared enough the next time to use condom and birth control.
3. Evidence a girl is deliberately trying to make a condom break or leak, or not take birth control pills every single day.
4. Supposed "miscarriages" that occur TOO CLOSE together! The uterus and hormones need time after a miscarriage before the body is ready to allow a new egg to implant. So if your girlfriend is "pregnant" but "lost the baby" every month or even sooner, that is extremely unlikely!
5. A supposed "miscarriage" that just HAPPENS by coincidence to occur near to the time she should have a period, OR soon after a missed period. Clots in menses can make a girl wonder, "maybe I was pregnant", but clots in menstrual blood are very normal with NO pregnancy ever occurring in that cycle.
6. Claiming to be pregnant to more than one guy at the same time. YES, if a girl had sex with more than one man within the same month she might be unsure of the father, but a girl cannot get pregnant after she's already pregnant with one guy. Example: Three guys cannot make 3 fetuses in the same girl at the same time, e.g. same cycle.
7. The "pregnancy lie" comes up when you are trying to break up with her or just broke up. (And often, a "miscarriage" happens just after you "get back together".)
8. The "pregnancy lie" occurs when she feels hurt or mad at you.
   
9. The "pregnancy lie" occurs when you want to spend time away from her.
   
10. The "pregnancy lie" occurs just when you are ready to go on a trip, start school / college out of town, move away, get a new job, etc.
    
11. The "pregnancy lie" occurs when she wants a commitment, but you won't commit.
    
12. The "pregnancy lie" feels like you are being manipulated. Ask nicely to see the pregnancy test from a doctor, or go with her to the doctor. Just feeling manipulated does NOT mean she is lying.... but you should pay attention to your gut. If she is truly pregnant, she should have no problem about going to the doctor for a test.
13. Again, if it does not make sense, medically, be skeptical. HOWEVER, give her the respect to find out if she is being truthful with you. If she is pregnant, YOU need to take responsibility. And girls, give him the respect to show him evidence that you are not lying-- e.g. a doctor's statement, a blood test, a urine test done by a doctor. And, don't play games in just claiming "I'm pregnant".
