Ask your general questions about the other gender in this thread!

These questions can be emotionally, mentally, or physically based. Just make sure they're written well enough to be understood or else you might get a misinterpreted answer.

Do not post anything that is textually or visually NSFW here, even if you are doing it to answer or ask a question; just post your email address instead and someone will help you out off-site.

Please avoid stereotyping or using swooping generalizations to judge those you haven't met. We won't be able to fully avoid sexist remarks towards either gender in this thread. At least make an effort to keep the discussions as clean as possible in that regard, though.

Note: If you need help specifically with something regarding dating or a romantic/sexual relationship, please use this thread: The Dating Problems Thread instead.

Hey BarabiSama quick question,why is your name BarabiSama?

>>2 Back when I first made it, I figured that since "hanabi" means fire flower in Jap that "barabi" would be the equivalent of fire rose. Then I tacked on Sama at the end for the hell of it (read: to be an asshole). It's kind of weaboo-desu sounding, looking back on it.

I've just had it for so long now that it doesn't really mean anything to me at this point.

Thanks as always, BarabiSama, for taking care of things.

First question to the guys: How does it feel when your voice breaks? Do you wake up one morning and your voice is suddenly a lot lower like when your voice hoarsens during a cold? Or is it more gradual?

>>4 It doesn't really "feel" like anything, even when it cracks mid-sentence. In general, it happens fairly slowly, and "cracking" happens because the voice hasn't settled into it's new range. It differs a bit from guy to guy, but very few people just "wake up" with a voice an entire octave lower.

Now this I know mainly because of voice classes in high school, both male and female voices break. Females, obviously, tend to be more subtle, but it still happens. Much like puberty in general, it happens sooner and ends sooner for women (the male vocal chords don't completely settle until somewhere in the mid-20s) leading it to be more obvious as a "male thing".

So, I started singing as an upper-alto around 10, my voice broke to a low-bass around 14, shifted up to a baritone around 17 and it's still there while I'm 20. That means that my voice isn't necessarily "done" and on very rare occasion my voice will still crack.

What do women truly want ?

It depends on the girl, Haka. Try not to generalize a gender, as the first post says. Instead, ask for opinions and first hand accounts of gender-specific circumstances. Or really any question specifically towards one gender are alright - just don't generalize like that.

...Would've been cool if this thread was all-gender inclusive. i.e. Agender, genderfluid, genderqueer etc.

>>9 It can be :L Just because I wasn't focusing on that doesn't mean you can't post anything for it. Just bump up the damn thread and include it instead of cowering in the archives with your little Sage button while you complain about threads.
