What is your opinion on the so-called "sugar daddy/sugar baby" lifestyle (older men paying young women to spend time with them), provided it is purely platonic? Why?
#askfm not for me
Ask @elisekumar
What do you do when you have trouble sleeping?
#askfm lie still with my eyes closed and daydream. Is it still called daydreaming if you do it at night?
Are you aromantic? How do you think "aromantics" choose their partners, in comparison to individuals who favor romance?
#askfm I'm definitely romantic. I have been with my husband for more than 10 years! I don't know anyone who is aromantic or much about it but if one isn't interested in a romantic partner there isn't anything to choose! probably choose sex partners much like anyone else though (unless they're also asexual).

Does creativity cause "madness" or does "madness" cause creativity, in your opinion? Why?
#askfm no
Is it acceptable for a person to not love anyone, in your opinion? Or does it indicate absence of good mental health?
#askfm there are lots of different forms of love. Some people are aromantic and don't want romantic partners at all, some people do but can't find (a) compatible partner(s). But most people still have love and affection for their friends, family, pets. If someone didn't love anyone at all - no friends, no family, no pets... then that person would be either very very mentally/emotionally unwell OR so severely different from me that I don't understand them at all.
How does the body maintain its water balance? What factors determine how much water you need daily?
#askfm I dunno mate! do your own homework.
Do you support Common Core State Standards? Why/why not?
#askfm I don't know anything about that
Do you think a person's gender affects the content of their dreams? Why?
#askfm I don't think so except in as much as society treats people differently based on their (apparent) gender and so life stuff incorporated into dreams might be different? Who knows though! In dreams I have been different genders, different ages, different sexuality, different ethnicity. I don't think that means anything really.
What is your silliest fear?
#askfm going to sleep and then waking up as someone else and realising that my whole life was a dream and then, moments later, forgetting all about it and going on with "my" day as someone completely different.
People do not expect surgeons to operate on themselves, yet most of us expect psychotherapists to be problem-free when it comes to psychological conditions, interpersonal relationships, emotions etc. Why do you think that is?
#askfm where I come from psychotherapists are required to undergo counselling themselves. I don't expect my therapist to be problem free? he's a human? But I do expect that he will use his own resources to manage himself which leaves my sessions free for my shit.
What and when was the last insult you received?
#askfm in a review of a play I was in a few years ago a reviewer said some things that weren't that great including that I mumbled. But he also didn't bother to get my name right (we actually had to contact the publication and ask them to correct it - I mean I don't love that he didn't say nice things about me but I felt way worse for him to be saying them about another actor who wasn't even there).
Do you avoid fried foods and look for "lite" and "fat-reduced" food when shopping for groceries? If your answer is no, explain why not.
#askfm no. Because fried foods are delicious and "lite" foods are a sugar-filled scam.
Why do you think vegans must be careful when planning vegan meals for children?
#askfm just like omnivores must be careful when planning omni meals for children, vegan kids meals need to be well-balanced. I found when I was vegan I had to pay a bit more attention to macro-nutrients as I definitely need to eat a fair amount of protein. Just having carbs and veges didn't work for me. The sorts of things that most omnivores kind of eat by "default" - meat and 3 veg sort of things tends to contain roughly all the things humans need. If you simply eliminate the meat, or swap the meat for something else you won't necessarily cover all the same ground. When planning meals for my baby (We're an omni family) I try to ensure that we have some protein and some carbs and lots of different veges. I don't pay too much attention to fats as they tend to come bundled with the protein sources I use. Babies need a source of iron so we eat red meat and green leafy vegetables. If we were vegan I'd be looking for the same macro-nutrients and vitamins but we'd be getting some of those things from different sources so that would make a difference to my meal-planning.
Which do you prefer: iphone 7 or 7 plus?
#askfm I am still using an iphone 5c! It's getting a bit crashy now so looking to upgrade. I might get the SE or the iphone7. I really don't want a huge phone.
What is the speed of dark?
#askfm faster than the speed of light - no matter how fast light goes the dark gets there first. Also a book.
Scenario: It's around the year 1875 & you're an immigrant to the US from another country. You didn't have the freedom to get a good education in your former country. Now that you're settled, what have you learned about your educational opportunities? Have you learned of any obstacles to your goals?
#askfm I don't know anything about that but good luck with your homework 📚
How do you fold fitted sheets?
#askfm okay so the trick is that the corners of the sheet are the bits where they fold over the corners of the bed - not along the edge of the sheet. So you fold from the corner bits and just kind of stuff the elasticy bit inside when you fold so it is tidy. When I first did it I had to lay the sheet right out on the floor to fold it up but once I got the hang of it it got much easier. Now I kind of grab the four corners and line them up and then sort it out and can even do it sitting down while watching tv but that takes practice and I can't really describe it in text. Now I am good at it though I often just scrunch up the sheet and stuff it in the cupboard... it makes me feel powerful. Like I could fold this sheet but... I'm not going to.
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?
#askfm yes
One of your friends thinks honey is more nutritious and safer to eat than table sugar. He wantd you to avoid table sugar and use only honey as a sweetener. What would you tell this person about the nutritive value and safety of honey compared to sugar?
#askfm don't feed honey to babies under 12 months old but otherwise use whatever the heck sweetener you like and I will do the same.

Have you ever went on a diet or started practising more exercise at a certain period of your life?
