partners. But I strongly agree with Buss on the
idea that women give more importance to kindness
and generosity in term of choosing their long-term
partner. Because I noticed that a man who is kind
and generous will spend more time on her and then

insecurities in his or her own contemporary
society. The responder also has to acknowledge his

at best indeterminate and arbitrary, as the
language in which they are written is said to
"fail, " to be "s...

there is a philosophical view of dreams. A dream
