Los Angeles Ramblings

I've had a reasonably good past few days. Human Sexuality yesterday as a little weird, but fascinating. The teacher had everyone take surveys, though they were different for the men and for the women. The one he gave the woman showed us five male faces with questions like,
"Which is the nicest?"
"Which is most hostile towards women?"
"Which is most intelligent?"
"Which is most attractive?"
When it got to that and to, "Which would you pursue as a short-term romantic partner?" "Which would you pursue as a long-term romantic partner?" I just wrote in, "N/A; I do not pursue men for romantic relationships." At least I get to fuck with the statistics. The next part of the survey was about menstrual cycles (just things like when and for how long). He said when this survey had been done as a study, it found that women find more "masculine" faces more attractive when they are ovulation because, evorlutionarily, they want to pursue the strongest genes for their children. Also, he mentioned another study which even he didn't completely believe that showed that ovulating women find sexual activity that shows poor gene effects (i.e., homosexuality, beastiality, etc.) more disturbing than they do when they are not ovulating. My professor didn't think it could likely be true (the study is relatively new and hasn't been reviewed multiple times yet) since it seemed unlikely to him that a woman's view on homosexuality changed week to week. I personally have to believe it's not true because I've never experienced it to be true; otherwise I'd be in trouble every month, suddenly disgusted with myself. But I still found it interesting. Sorry. I'll stop boring you with Female Sexuality. I also plan to organize and rewrite my notes from the course later, so you can look at them later.

I did, however, do the eye thing with a girl right after the class. It's much harder to do with girls, since most women either look everyone or no one in the eye and it's much harder to detect the intense and prolonged look that comes from a mildly interested lesbian, and it always excites me when I can pull it off. It was the first time I've seen her, and I didn't see her again today, but oh well. I'm only on the campus for three more weeks anyway. I don't really want to meet someone down here; I don't want to be tied to the area at all beyond my parents. But she was very Santa Cruz, and I was just happy to have confirmed one down here.

Today was a day that should have been bad (I had a stats test), but that was good for no reason at all. I think I did well on the exam, which I oddly ENJOYED taking (it's amazing what understanding material will do for you when stressing about and taking a test), and I have plans to get together with Caitlyn and possible Kendall this weekend. I must say, it was a refreshing change from the usual bad day that should have been good. I still hate UCLA and Los Angeles in general, though.
