Do you prefer to wear a one piece when swimming or two piece?
Interesting question considering I was just talking about swimsuits in a question I hadn't yet answered when you sent this... I prefer one piece though.

What's your stance on women going topless and braless in public? Explain why you have this opinion.
I'm personally not particularly comfortable with that idea and I'm honest to god not really sure why. I grew up with one parent being extremely reserved about nudity and the other being extremely open about it (that sounds weird, just bear with me) and I happened to take after the one who is extremely reserved about it. I'm not comfortable getting undressed around most others, especially when it involves changing anything in the underwear category and I'm not really comfortable being around others who do that sort of thing (while they're doing it at least lol). I don't see a reason for men to walk around without shirts on, unless they're at a beach/pool, etc. so I don't see why women need to do that either. And as far as beaches/pools go, I'd always rather wear a swimsuit that covers the upper half because I don't want anything bouncing around up there, not sure why anyone else would want that (men aside). I know they're not highly sexual organs but they have become highly sexualized and we all know the two types of women who would go out topless the most: the kind no one wants to see topless, and the one everyone ogles even with clothes on-- which no girl wants to be around with her significant other.

What if it was $1 instead of 5? Would that change anything?
Money is money and in the end it's just dog slobber, as gross as it may be. Besides, it's basically free money and what's better than free money.

What's your stance on PineapplePizzaGate? Should a president be able to outlaw all pineapple content in pizzas? We all know pineapple's a weird topping for a savoury food. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/21/icelands-president-would-ban-pineapple-on-pizza-if-he-could
The president of Iceland actually seems like a pretty cool dude based on that article. I like him from that teensy bit of information. I don't think a president should have enough power to outlaw anything he or she doesn't like, such as pineapple on pizza. That's far too much power and a quite ridiculous over-zealous use of it anyhow. With that being said, I do actually like pineapple on pizza. Hawaiian is one of my top 3 favorite pizzas so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah so you normally wouldn't mind if a slobbery dog licked your face?
It'd be pretty gross under normal circumstances but for $5 per lick I'll take that.
I have a button, if you press it, you get a giant dog who loves licking and you get $5 per individual lick across your face but it is super super slobbery, would you press the button?
Soap and water exist for a reason, if slobber is the most I have to worry about I'll be a millionaire before you know it.
What do you hope changes or moves forward in your life during 2017? Do you have any significant plans (holidays, college, a new job etc) for 2017?
I desperately want this applying for jobs process to speed up so I could've gotten a job before visiting my boyfriend for the summer but at this rate the application won't even be processed until I'm gone already. So I'm just hoping to get that job before the year ends at this point. I'm hoping to get leaner before the summer as well. That's really all.
We often hear the phrase 'my body my choice' when talking about the pro-life/pro-choice debate. Now in your opinion, when does 'my body my choice' not apply (if ever)
Younger children should still be getting parental consent for various medical treatments regardless of whether it's their body or not. A two year old doesn't necessarily understand what cancer treatment is, how it works, what the implications are, etc. so I don't think the "my body my choice" motto really applies in such situations. Also according to the law, underage children having sex with adults would be excluded from "my body my choice", even if the minor initiated the sex.

Should high schools (college if in the UK) provide daycare/nursery facilities for students who have children? Why/why not?
I don't think they *should*, but if they choose to do so then I don't see anything particularly wrong with it. It's not the school's responsibility to baby their students by providing all kinds of services. The school's job is to educate their students, not babysit their students' kids and a bunch of other irrelevant things. If a student gets pregnant and chooses to keep the child, it's their responsibility to take care of it and make sure it's taken care of while the student maintains their own life. Like I said, if a school chooses to provide a daycare facility, that's on them and that's fine. But I don't think schools should be required to provide them, which the word "should" implies.
Do you pay attention to the material your clothes are made of?
Generally no. However, I will generally always choose cotton over other materials depending on the type of clothing I'm interested in. And I generally hate synthetic materials.

Should people live together full time before being married? - is it acceptable and 'normal' for a married couple to live at different addresses?
I think it's a matter of personal preference. I personally want to live with any serious partner before we decide to get married. I want to know what sort of lifestyle they lead behind closed doors. I want to know how neat they are, how clean they are, how often they do laundry, etc. before I agree to spend the rest of my life with them-- and I think that's a totally fair request on my end. There are others who just want to get married and dive right in. That's totally cool too. If they're comfortable with that and they're willing to work around potential snags after they're already married then let them do so their way. I wouldn't say it's "normal" for a married couple to live separately but I wouldn't see why it's unacceptable. There are plenty of separated couples who are still married but live separately. That might not be the situation you were implying, but it does work. I'm honestly not really sure why a married couple would live at different addresses unless it was a temporary thing though (like the wife going home to take care of her elderly parents or the husband going away for work for a month, or god forbid one of them is in the military).
Facing our fears, and overcoming those fears, is a strategy we hear about a lot. However, how do we reconcile that strategy with the reality that certain fears are valid and important to our well-being?
On a general basis I think it's pretty common knowledge which fears are life saving in the long term. It has something to do with that fight or flight concept, like in a situation where someone is running at you with a knife while screaming-- that's a totally valid reason to be afraid. Being afraid of something like butterflies or the dark isn't a valid fear in and of itself. And if someone tells me they're legitimately afraid of the dark and that that fear is legitimate, I'd have to wonder if it's the dark they're afraid of, or if they're afraid of something legitimately life threatening happening to them in the dark. The dark itself is not life threatening, nor is it really scary. Same goes for butterflies and many other irrational fears. With that being said, being afraid of all men because one abused you isn't legitimate and there's no reason to let that be a paralyzing fear-- BUT, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be cautious with regard to men in general if that is a fear. Don't equate caution to fear-- they aren't always the same thing. Sometimes we have to go out of our comfort zone to realize that what we thought was for the good of our well-being isn't necessarily what's best for our well-being.

Should older women (40+) be allowed to date/marry younger men (16/18-25) why/why not? What about men, should older men (40+) be able to date/marry younger women (16/18-25)? Explain why?
Should they? As long as both are consenting , I don't see why not. Do I think they should? No. I'm not particularly supportive of huge age differences in relationships (I mean gaps big enough to where one could be the parent/grandparent of the other) so I personally don't think they should. However, in the end it's none of my business unless I'm involved in it myself, and potentially if either of my parents or any future children of mine are in such a position, at which point it will still be their decision but I would most likely personally disagree. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it per se, I just grew up with a relative who nearly always dated girls who could've been my older sister and it's made me uncomfortable ever since. I always imagine myself dating my dad in those kinds of situations and it seems so awkward and uncomfortable (incestuousness aside of course). No judgment to those who are okay with it and/or are in such relationships, it's just not for me.

Neither. I still have the SE. If the 7+ is anything like the 6+ in size then I'd definitely prefer the regular 7.
Hey, is it okay if I add you on Facebook? You keep popping up in "People you may know" and just didn't want to hit add without asking. Totally understand if you'd prefer me not to :)

What's the hardest part about being you?
Being in my mind all. the. time. I can't get away from me. I can't just take a break and come back revitalized. I can't just stop being me for a while. I live in my head, obviously not literally, but it gets really old just having myself in there. I don't think I'm incredibly pleasant company so it's tough never being able to get away from said company.

When you tell someone you miss them, do you actually mean it? Or are you just talking? Do you believe when they say they miss you?
I rarely tell people I miss them and, considering that the only people I tell this to are my boyfriend and my family, I always mean it but I'm also always torn-- especially when talking to my family. As of this point in my life, being with one means I'm apart from the others so to say I miss one important person in my life is like saying I'd rather be with them than the one I'm currently with, to me at least. I know it could also be implied "I wish you were here with us" instead but somehow it always turns into "I wish I was with you". It's a mixed bag of emotions. Sometimes I am just talking but rarely does that happen. I always believe my mom when she says she misses me but sometimes I think my boyfriend likes having his space so I know he misses me but it's kind of like an "I wish you were here right now but tomorrow I'll be glad to have 5 minutes to myself" kind of thing. And my dad says he misses me but I think when I'm gone he's just glad that he doesn't have another nagging lady after him about everything for a little while. In the end I don't doubt they all miss me though. It's easy to like your alone time and enjoy not being nagged about everything but that doesn't change the fact that something, and sometimes a big something, is missing from your life in a significant way.

What kind of relationship do you have with your neighbours?
The kind that doesn't exist. I'll occasionally wave if I see one but we rarely see our neighbors and the ones we do see don't tend to communicate with me. One of our neighbors is friendly with my dad but he's like 3x my age so I wave and then go about my business as usual.
Can a short person "talk down" to a taller person? (Spam)
Not in the literal sense, unless they're standing on a step/chair/etc. that makes them temporarily taller. But in a non-literal sense it's very much possible. Talking down to someone doesn't mean you have to be looking down at them, it can mean something as simple as thinking you're better/smarter/etc. than they are so you talk down to them as if they aren't as "good" as you.

What to do when someone who's into you won't back off?
Lol. You ask as if I've ever been in such a situation. You anons think too highly of me I guess. I guess it depends on what you've already done. I mean, you could tell them to back off, you could get increasingly blunt/rude, you could shove them, you could punch them, you could block them on all social media/cell phone/etc. access, you could call the police, you could get a restraining order.. I'm not sure what would be necessary at this point since you didn't specify what you've already done in an effort to make them back off.
Do you know what your IQ is? :)
I do not know the specific number, no, but I haven't taken a legit IQ test in quite some time. I'm pretty sure the last time I took one it was some free online thing and it was on the high average/low above average range but don't take my word for that. I have a book or something with IQ tests in it but I can't be bothered to sit down and actually focus on it so.
How does it make you feel to think of spending the rest of your life with another person, staying faithful and growing old together? Does it scare you, or maybe you've found that person already?
Personally I love the idea of someone loving me enough to choose me for the rest of their life. The idea doesn't scare me at all. The idea of losing that person at some point in my future scares me, whether it be to death or simply falling out of love, but the idea of spending my future with one person isn't scary at all. I love the idea of having someone by my side who understands me and all the weird little things about me, who tolerates my quirks and my negative qualities, who works well with me as my partner and my best friend. I have enough issues getting close with one person as it is, while simultaneously hating the idea of being alone of course, so the idea of not spending the rest of my life with at least one constant is kind of terrifying in the long run.
