Help with the following two pairs of GRE words that have similar relationships?

EXPERIENCE : GREEN = PELT : IMPECUNIOUS





Can someone explain to me why second pair of word is similar to the first pair?





ThanksHelp with the following two pairs of GRE words that have similar relationships?
If you have experience it means you're not green. If you have a pelt (?) you are not impecunious (poor.)





That's pretty odd, especially the word 'pelt.' The root of the word 'impecunious' originally meant 'without cattle,' i.e., 'poor.' So literally if you have a pelt (animal skin) you must have animals/cattle and are not impecunious.Help with the following two pairs of GRE words that have similar relationships?
Since the first set of words are related by opposites, then that's the same relationship for the other two words. I think it's trying to make the comparison that a pelt is something you own if you have a lot of money because the other word means that you're very poor. I think it's a poor analogy.

Why do we think that all men just want to be in relationships for sex?

I don't feel like that at all, i can't be the only one, right?


I'd rather an intimate relationship with someone than just jumping into bed with them. Do any of you guys think the same?Why do we think that all men just want to be in relationships for sex?
We don't think that ALL men are like that, just the majority. And if a girl doesn't trust guys, it's usually from experience.





If you show a girl that rather than just tell her, it will go a long way =]Why do we think that all men just want to be in relationships for sex?
Well one of the two - men or women need to be the instigator of sex or else we would never get it on.





It's just our role that we accept.
yer i feel dat way now


a relationship goes a long way


sex doesnt

Book in which samesex relationships are the norm?

Someone was once telling me about this book where same sex relationships are the norm and it is weird or frowned upon to have opposite sex relationship. She told me the title, but I can't remember it. Can anyone help me out?





I believe the book is science fiction, but I could be wrong.Book in which samesex relationships are the norm?
Does the whole book take place in a location where everyone feels that way, or are there also sections written in a heterosexual society?





Are the people in that society both male and female, or only one gender?





'Ethan of Athos' by Lois McMaster Bujold features quite a few chapters on the planet Athos, where there are only men. Women are considered a corrupting influence and even pictures of them are kept off the planet.





If you can think of any more details I might be able to find a few more titles for you.

Why is it that eccentrics don't have many romantic relationships?

Doing a project on eccentric people throughout history and one thing in my research that kept coming up is how eccentric people tend to have less romantic relationships and tend to attract the opposite sex less... any thoughts?Why is it that eccentrics don't have many romantic relationships?
Yep. Eccentrics are not simple. When in a romantic relationship there are many levels that you want to connect on. So a simple man or woman would not really fulfill the needs of an eccentric person easily. It take another eccentric person to fulfill persons needs, but a lot of times, eccentric people don't agree with each other. So nothing romantic unfolds.





I'm kinda eccentric and I feel that way.Why is it that eccentrics don't have many romantic relationships?
because we are lost looking for answers, rather than found with questions....
Let me show you, using xkcd: http://www.xkcd.com/314/


Pretty much, eccentric people are less likely to meet people that are compatible, as not only do they have to be with other eccentric people, but people who are eccentric in similar ways. Of course I'm generalising, but that's the idea: less people are compatible. On top of that, they might just not be interested.
Eccentrics are people in the hiding...





Very little people can understand them... us...





and they never have much time for new relationships... just great ones with people they already know and cordial ones with new people...





We... they have love, passion for other stuff in life... often people around them feel like they never matter... and the little friends they have... well they last forever...





And they have individual sense of taste... it's hard to find another that matches... for instance... Albert Einstein... and his hair... or Dickinson and her all-white wardrobe...





Cheers!!!!!!
The eccentric is the ultimate nonconformist and so how to match the matchless?
If there's one thing that ties eccentrics together it's that they (we) don't fit any mold.





Classic romances (the ones you read about in Shakespeare) usually involve two easily definable characters. In modern terms, think of the high school cheerleader/jock combo. In a world of Average Joes, there's plenty of Average Janes. The eccentric, however, might go a lifetime without finding a match.





And listen to Happy Hiram. That weirdo seems to know his stuff.
Breeding implies copying. To make a ';copy'; another human of fairly parallel match in mates is needed. Eccentric people have a hard time finding that super awesome match. ;)
They are very self centred and drive a partner to distraction
they attract their own kind better. There is a reason for them to be this way, they may think or feel very unusual and behave that way.
Have you ever watched Bones? Zack in particular.


We weird people out. Even those of us that don't kill people, lol.


If someone says a word wrong, ie nuke-u-lar, it drives me nuts, and I have to correct it. It makes my bf really mad. If I'm on one of my writing benders, I'm practically dead to the world. Makes keeping a relationship difficult.
Because eccentric people are not STUPID so they don't waste their lives chasing TAIL.
They are busy wrestling with their own thoughts and issues.

  • Do you have or know of any Leo and Virgo relationships?

    Any relationship.. Mother Daughter, Teacher Student, Lovers, Brother Sister





    Explain to me how they get along please!Do you have or know of any Leo and Virgo relationships?
    I know a married couple - she's a Leo, he's a Virgo. They're best friends. She loves to be adored and be the center of attention. He adores her and defers to her. It works perfectly for them. :-)Do you have or know of any Leo and Virgo relationships?
    one of my former employees, who was a virgo man...was in an interracial marriage to a leo woman...it seemed to me, that they spent a majority of their time together trying to control each other...and when they weren't together, they spent ALL of their time trying to figure out where the other one was, what they were doing, etc...there never seemed to be any harmony...mainly tension...virgo has a critical tongue and leo has a big ego...this doesn't seem like it would have a very good chance of producing anything but arguments...






    Yes, I do. Virgo is like the parent and Leo is like the teenager. They butt heads a lot, and the Leo asks the Virgo for advice and doesn't follow it. When it all blows up, Leo's pride gets wounded by hearing ';I told you so'; by Virgo and there is resentment there. These are a few things I've gathered from observing a friendship between these two.
