A Spanish Lesson

A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

‘House’ for instance, is feminine: ‘la casa.’
‘Pencil,’ however, is masculine: ‘el lapiz.’
A student asked, ‘What gender is ‘computer’?’

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer’ should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men’s group decided that ‘computer’ should definitely be of the feminine gender (‘la computadora’), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (‘el computador’), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

10 Signs a Woman May Be Interested in You

10 Signs a Woman May Be Interested in You

There are some signs and behaviors that for men aren’t obvious concerning female interest in us. We all like to think that women are interested in us. How can we be sure? Often a man is doubtful or uncertain about approaching a girl, or maybe doesn’t know what a girl is feeling, so he might act with more caution.

• Spontaneity . Our brain is designed to recognize a fake smile and a spontaneous one. If she is constantly smiling, or laughing openly, those are signs she is enjoying the moment or that she is happy at least for that moment. Spontaneous laughter and sometimes nervous laughter can be interpreted as signs of interest. We are more likely to like someone that is smiling than someone angry or serious.

• Physical contact . If a woman touches your arm, touches your clothes, or rests an arm on you it’s a sign of approach Physical proximity and body language that shows openness is a sign that she is approachable. Don’t waste it!

• They agree with us on everything . When a woman likes someone she will find ways of agreeing and complimenting you, this may seem occasional or explicit, depending on level of confidence.

• They are watching you, or trying to catch your eye . If you catch women watching you, giving you the look, or notice she is looking it might be a sign that she found you interesting, or at least appealing. That doesn’t mean that you have it all, just a green light to be more confident.

• She is playing with her hair . Women often comb, touch, or caress their hair. Its something they do automatically, 20% its a biological function to attract others.

• They pose with poise! If a woman is sitting beside you she might cross her legs several times or adopt a seductive pose. They might try to sit straight or use better posture, showing their natural attributes.

• They face us . When a woman feels attracted to someone she will bend slightly toward the person, approaching their face. Women like to speak directly, and the axis of the head-face-eyes is a fundamental sign that a woman is attracted to us.

• Slightly distanced feet . Research shows that when a woman stands her equilibrium tells us what emotion she is feeling. If both legs are tight, stiff, or unexpressive their passion isn’t evident. If legs are slightly open, or if she is playing with her feet or ankles that could be a good sign.

• She will remember details . If a woman is interested in you, even though she might seem distracted, she will remember personal details about you, or about your stories.

• They are not afraid of proximity . If you approach her with a kiss, a caress, light touch, or you touch her hands and she seems comfortable and at the same time nervous, that’s a definite good sign, at least for that day, you might be lucky!
