    • Ajenthavoc, on 02/19/2008, -0/+4only cause there has to be something to bitch about.
    • Sornos, on 02/19/2008, -2/+54Oh there will be a time where a woman's silence will gnaw at your mind more than anything you can think of. There is no weapon greater than silence.
      • Netrilix, on 02/19/2008, -1/+19Ahem to that.
      • drakethegreat, on 02/19/2008, -1/+11Some of the most painful moments in my life were do to a woman's silence.
      • EarlOfLade, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3I felt the pain in your post!
      • rabidbob, on 02/19/2008, -0/+2A woman's silence is a bizarre combination of fearful anticipation and relief.
    • artwork, on 02/19/2008, -1/+8Yes. Sometimes being able to talk about stuff can be a good thing.
      • GramarNatzi, on 02/19/2008, -1/+10And other times shutting the ***** up can be equally as good.

    • sarixe, on 02/19/2008, -0/+13you ever try to talk to someone and they're too shy to answer? they just look at you and then look away and blush? then you think to yourself "what, did i say something wrong? oh *****... did i?"
      • daza, on 02/19/2008, -2/+2I don't think I've done something wrong, I just think they're retarded. Have met a few people like that in my life-time though.
    • slightlygifted, on 02/19/2008, -0/+20quiet=mass murderer
  • hawksdomain, on 02/19/2008, -6/+16LOL Good for the daters, but realize we don't all think these things of our spouses..... just some of them! ;)
    • Akaji, on 02/19/2008, -2/+14Optimistic -> Stupid is about the best truism there is...
      • GramarNatzi, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3Pessimism FTW!
      • sarixe, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3agreed, realism is much better. that is, if you can find reality...
        • Fordi, on 02/19/2008, -0/+6Everyone thinks they're a 'realist'. Optimism and pessimism are subjective to that.
      • smurfsahoy, on 02/19/2008, -1/+3Optimists live ridiculously longer. Is health stupid?
    • ReyX, on 02/19/2008, -0/+2Big Love?
    • ritter99, on 02/19/2008, -1/+2on a date nowadays you don't have to worry how she/he will be in ten years - relationships just don't last that long anymore ;-)
  • deviouskoopa, on 02/19/2008, -3/+72Cool + 10 years = Frigid?
    • whatthehell9, on 02/19/2008, -3/+52what about global warming?
    • DimitriVetra, on 02/19/2008, -0/+12It's science
    • WolverineBlue, on 02/19/2008, -0/+25Yes, I too noticed that this violates Fourier's law of conduction.
    • elfprince13, on 02/19/2008, -0/+2what about the entropic heat death of the universe?
    • ell0bo, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3*****, it only took mine about 1 year.
  • Member148, on 02/19/2008, -2/+13Affectionate = I got a headache. lol.
  • zunkus, on 02/19/2008, -22/+270This is stupid.
    • rappadema42, on 02/19/2008, -11/+30it is... how did this make the front page?

      so basically, all your personality traits turn to extremes in ten years? -- not sad, not true
      • chocolatetacos, on 02/19/2008, -4/+2Not even entirely accurate. Ambitious to workaholic? Not always.
        • ScottMitchell, on 02/19/2008, -2/+19Imagine that, a joke that's not entirely accurate and takes things to the extreme!
      • SakisRakis, on 02/19/2008, -1/+6It isn't that you change, it is that what you find cute now you find grating later after being around them for years.
      • Acqua206, on 02/19/2008, -1/+4You're missing the point. What you might have found endearing about a person once gets to be an annoyance later on down the road. Most people who have been with someone for a length of time can tell you this.
      • smurfsahoy, on 02/19/2008, -1/+1You are clearly new to digg...
      • simpleid, on 02/19/2008, -1/+1making the front page equates to intelligence? is that right? ... i guess physics must be 'stupid' since physorg articles don't make it to the top anymore. let alone nearly anything related to mathematics.
    • coustoe, on 02/19/2008, -15/+3"how did this make the front page?" because of gay diggers like you
      • rappadema42, on 02/19/2008, -0/+9i didn't digg it, i just commented on why people were doing so
        and im pretty sure 'gay' was highly unnecessary
      • antiorblkflag9, on 02/19/2008, -0/+5and try the reply button...
    • antiorblkflag9, on 02/19/2008, -1/+9I like how everything is negative in an attempt to be funny
      • Stupidumb, on 02/19/2008, -0/+2Those bastards, trying to make us laugh...
    • Jones82, on 02/19/2008, -0/+61"This is stupid"
      Was it optimistic 10 years ago?
    • pyro789x, on 02/19/2008, -0/+8You mean optimistic?
  • Darkhacker, on 02/19/2008, -3/+102Let me add one more...
    sex -> sleep
  • Bologner, on 02/19/2008, -17/+5Myspace -> Pathetic
    • sarixe, on 02/19/2008, -0/+17Myspace -> still not a personality trait
      • w3bsmith, on 02/19/2008, -1/+9If it was we all would be in trouble
      • Jotch, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1It's kind of the same as "narcissistic".
    • Audacitor, on 02/19/2008, -1/+2MySpace already is Pathetic.
  • Alfdog, on 02/19/2008, -2/+56Showing this to your significant other = Bad idea
    • bmdt2000, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1*****! I better recall that email.
    • asant76, on 03/28/2008, -0/+0hahaha. Come one people this is just for kicks. I'll just have to Digg this again in 10 years.
  • HOMEsplice, on 02/19/2008, -4/+15"Optimistic=stupid"
    • sarixe, on 02/19/2008, -0/+2yes, but it doesn't take ten years to find that one ultimately true.
    • slightlygifted, on 02/19/2008, -0/+2pessimistic=smart?
    • Stevethegreat, on 02/19/2008, -1/+3Yeah! I mean, bloody optimists who even think they could put out with mighty Germany, they should had surrendered without even -really- fighting like the French did, but they happened to have that "muleheaded" "stupid" leader saying such absurdities like "For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else.", not knowing that an optimist=stupid. If they had be realists like the French they should not put even a fight, their "optimism" was a sham as the end of the War showed us.....
      • hanzzz, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1go read some history please and come back later k? k.
        • Stevethegreat, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1My point was not a history lesson


          ....... obviously
      • IronGoldfish, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1You seem to have confused realism with apathy, for some reason.
  • codered1322, on 02/19/2008, -2/+4725 - 35
  • cazbar, on 02/19/2008, -1/+121I'm already cynical and brutally honest and I've never had a girlfriend. Of course, the two may be related.
    • Zaneris, on 02/19/2008, -0/+27Digg, the only place where someone having not had a girlfriend goes without questioning.
    • MaskedSlacker, on 02/19/2008, -1/+10Im cynical and brutally honest and have no trouble getting laid. I think youre doing it wrong.

      Of course, I'm also a pathological liar, I'm sure that helps.
      • ell0bo, on 02/19/2008, -0/+9man... that just made my brain hurt dude. are you brutally honest and just confused that you're a pathological liar, or are you lieing about being brutally honest, or is it all a lie? ***** dude, this is not how I wanted to wake up.
      • simpleid, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1a pathological liar would be lying when he admits he's a pathological liar, which doesn't prove he's honest but points out that he's lying. you can't assume he's telling the truth, and if he's honest but tells you he's a pathological lier than he lied. he's lying.... he's not honest and he has tons of trouble getting laid. unless he's being sarcastic.. then he's honest ...

        ... i think, anyone?
    • prleet, on 02/19/2008, -4/+1Dude, you are better off without a girlfriend these days, believe me its not worth it, but its nice to have a poontang once in a while, and which can be gotten fairly easily...they are called friends with benefits.
      • roodammy44, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3Are you..... Are you Mr Garrison from South Park?
    • Bifurcati, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1Remember - correlation doesn't imply causality! There might be some other dark, twisted influence that's responsible for both...
  • carbonetc, on 02/19/2008, -1/+16Familiarity breeds contempt. It seems truer all the time.
  • uziko, on 02/19/2008, -4/+2no not really
  • Accolade1, on 02/19/2008, -11/+9Married > Divorced
  • knghtwhosaysni, on 02/19/2008, -1/+4psh i like immature people...
  • ZephyrNinety, on 02/19/2008, -15/+13This isn't Cosmo, *****. Stop posting this *****.
  • paradoxtitan, on 02/19/2008, -1/+26Lush = Alcoholic
    • Netrilix, on 02/19/2008, -1/+3Heh, one of the first things I looked for on the list was which one turned into alcoholic. Your comment made up for it not being on the list.
    • po43292, on 02/19/2008, -0/+2Likes to Go Out --> Alcoholic
  • Dropperbr, on 02/19/2008, -11/+6Love ->Hate nuf.. said!
  • Suits, on 02/19/2008, -8/+3Hey, I didn't see ''*****'' or 'Breast Feeding'' on either list. Inaccuracies.
    • po43292, on 02/19/2008, -1/+1Likes to suck on my boobs --> wants to be breast fed?
  • koopertrooper, on 02/19/2008, -4/+9lol
    optimistic = stupid
    we all know its true
  • FeloniusMonkey, on 02/19/2008, -11/+18Stupid -> President
  • xptoast, on 02/19/2008, -8/+2To those who make charts like this...

    Please understand the true meanings of the words you are using.
    For instance...Brutally Honest?
    Honest is not what most of you are using. Most of you are using severely screwed up perceptions in order to give an "honest" comment to someone.

    hon·est /ˈɒnɪst/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[on-ist] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
    –adjective 1. honorable in principles, intentions, and actions; upright and fair: an honest person.
    2. showing uprightness and fairness: honest dealings.
    3. gained or obtained fairly: honest wealth.
    4. sincere; frank: an honest face.
    5. genuine or unadulterated: honest commodities.
    6. respectable; having a good reputation: an honest name.
    7. truthful or creditable: honest weights.
    8. humble, plain, or unadorned.
    9. Archaic. chaste; virtuous.

    For some reason someone being brutally honest in this world doesnt sound anything like the true definition of honest. If you meet a new person and say hey your fat, that would be stupid even if they are overweight. There is overweight then there is fat and ginormous. Use some logic when you interact with others of the species you are apart of. It is uncalled for and unnessesary in most cases to be what you call brutaly honest. That is especially when you are using super screwed up perceptions to come up with your "honest" comments. Extreem is good when you keep it within reasonable boundaries. This list is very accurate if you are most of the population of this world. If you are using logic and some real sense(not common sense because currently common sense is just stupid and faulty) you would not be using this chart as accurate. The time will come when things will need to come to order and stop being so chaotic. Let the change begin.
    • boxybrzown, on 02/19/2008, -1/+13I'm gonna be brutally honest here...you just wasted way more of your life on this then you should have.
      • xptoast, on 02/19/2008, -3/+1That is not honest that is an opinion you fool. Read much?
        • MadScientist440, on 02/19/2008, -1/+0I read enough to know your grammar is atrocious, Mr. Glass Houses... By the way, when giving you their opinion, people have the choice to lie to be "nice" to you, or be "brutally honest" and state their actual opinion.
          • xptoast, on 02/19/2008, -1/+1I never said my grammar was good did I? I also did not say I was perfect. Giving an opinion cannot be truth or false unless you put it in a truth or test situation.In the case of that person saying I wasted time he is wrong. The choice is mine to decide if I have wasted that portion of my life refuting people that don't use logic. Words are meant to be used in a way that they are defined. Definitions are there for a reason. Also my grammar is not that bad. If it is I would be like you to point it out.
          • nshady, on 02/19/2008, -1/+2Language evolves, and it often takes a while for the definitions to catch up.
          • Myztry, on 02/19/2008, -1/+1I've always thought that people in stone houses shouldn't throw glasses, as I've yet to meet anyone who lives in a glass house.
    • dylangaine, on 02/19/2008, -1/+5you are a major nerd
    • mupaully, on 02/19/2008, -2/+1TL, DNR
    • Fordi, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3Of course the author doesn't get it. Brutal honesty is saying what needs said, regardless of how painful it may be.
    • dylangaine, on 02/22/2008, -0/+1you like to quibble over small things xptoast. as the adage goes, you can tell the size of a man by the things that make him upset
  • 13AH, on 02/19/2008, -4/+12My boyfriend is great and everything, but I can relate to a few of these.
    What was intelligence then- is social ineptitude now...

    He's the smartest guy I know, but damn he's dumb sometimes.

    • gbro, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1Dumb in what way?
      • Smuikas, on 02/19/2008, -0/+5He can't talk, you insensitive clod.
        • Ladycomet, on 02/19/2008, -1/+0God I feel your pain, I always wanted a smart guy and every time I get one he is TOO smart and he knows it and is a total social mess. Embarrassing
        • ell0bo, on 02/19/2008, -1/+2Well hello there... as long as you don't mind living in my parent's basement for a few years...
        • Tetraca, on 02/21/2008, -0/+1Well, that's good. He opened his mind and shut his mouth. If more people did that we wouldn't have a the dolts we do have sitting on capital hill, and a few shows on TV wouldn't actually be popular because they're no longer watching because other people are watching.
    • nshady, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1Reminds me of I, Robot.

      Anyone?
  • br0wnstar, on 02/19/2008, -0/+17Hmmm, I guess I gotta find a sexy attentive person...
    • univerio, on 02/19/2008, -0/+20I'm too lazy to look back through the table to get your joke.
  • advil, on 02/19/2008, -4/+4"I have given a name to my pain - Women"
  • jimmy87lee, on 02/19/2008, -5/+2http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/4702/conversion ...
  • kerracked, on 02/19/2008, -0/+20Apparently they shouldn't have removed the analogies portion of the SATs, judging by many of the above comments.
  • jimmy87lee, on 02/19/2008, -3/+4http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/4702/conversion ...
  • EnSvensk, on 02/19/2008, -0/+33So I'm going to go from a honest, laid back, smart person to a cynical, lazy, know-it-all. Odd. I'm perfectly fine with this.
    • blinker265, on 02/19/2008, -1/+1i was thinking the same damn thing
    • Zaneris, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3I'm only 21, and I've already made the transition... I believe this puts me dead in another 10.
  • canandaiguan, on 02/19/2008, -1/+95digg's 10 month reality....
    ron paul -> barack obama
    no?
  • chall85, on 02/19/2008, -0/+8Does it work backwards too?
  • stellandfly, on 02/19/2008, -0/+21Wow...slow night on Digg.
  • Spikeli27, on 02/19/2008, -4/+2wow seems so true
  • dwninjungleland, on 02/19/2008, -4/+2:( now im depressed.
  • andjiganji, on 02/19/2008, -3/+4lame very very lame, not diggable at all
    • bromanct, on 02/19/2008, -1/+2Stupid and jaded. Digg is really going downhill..
  • PixelMagic, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3I love how the right-hand column is interchangeable with Digg user stereotypes.
  • novask, on 02/19/2008, -1/+9According to this list I am looking for a trusting (gullible), sexy (slutty), and optimistic (stupid) girl to take out on a few dates.
    • prleet, on 02/19/2008, -0/+0Umm, check your reality clock...thats it all available these days...it may be true. :)
  • elementfire, on 02/19/2008, -1/+21Sarcastic -> Sarcastic
  • wearescience, on 02/19/2008, -4/+17tight -> loose
  • n0ct, on 02/19/2008, -4/+1These are synonyms, not conversions. You morans.
    • TheShom, on 02/19/2008, -0/+2It's moron, not moran you moron!
      • benedictkenny, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1It's a reference to an old U.S. war protest sign (Inside jokes. That's Digg for you).
    • rnwen2750, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1LOL
    • cor315, on 02/19/2008, -1/+0saying moran outloud sounds funny
  • Genetico, on 02/19/2008, -1/+4Talk about a glass is half empty mindset...
  • HaloZero, on 02/19/2008, -1/+6Romantic --> Stalker? Uhhhhhh. that one seems a bit off.
  • playscape, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3so every ten years we become more and more unpleasant? Don't those good traits stand for anything?
    • worthone, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1In a sardonic conversion chart they don't.
  • GramarNatzi, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1So the perfect long term partner is apathetic, unambitious, ignorant, shy, awkward..... etc.

    sounds great.
  • ThReAtEnEd, on 02/19/2008, -2/+5hah how true.. good thing diggers will never need this chart
  • busymommy, on 02/19/2008, -1/+2Good thing this only applies to people who are dating/married to the wrong person in the first place.
    I've been married to a wonderful man for 6 years and it just keeps getting better.
    Very humorous though.
  • TheShom, on 02/19/2008, -3/+0Romantic = Stalker?
    Messed up thing is, this ***** actually makes sense!
