skinism

The cognitive-biased-based belief that those who were born with lighter colored skin are superior in every way.
Skin is a characteristic of a person's race, and a key component of racism. However, skin is only each human being's surface. Character is more important. The successes of astounding musicians and athletes invalidate skinism.

situation framing

Though a painting's frame is separate from the painting, it influences how viewers see it. Any human interaction can be framed as, for example, an urgent complaint, a compliment, something serious and safety or life-threatening, or as something positive, pleasant, friendly, funny, inquisitive, etc. How a person presents himself to others by means of 1) his body's shape (athletic, fat, or skinny), 2) how he is dressed, 3) his hair, 4) what he says and the tonality with which he says each thing, 5) how confident or insecure or fearful or loving he is, and other details frame the situation he created, which whether the person knows it or not are modified by the five things above, and affect and can even determine it's outcome. To fool someone or for other purposes, individuals frame situations as something other than what they are. Some individuals can modify or even flip a "situation framing", to their advantage.

romance is really a business

Romantic relationships are a business—because each party is trying to get the most for the least, a negotiation, and a can culminate in a partnership where both parties reproduce themselves by having children.
C.M. Fabara realized that contradicting the prevailing understanding of what romantic relationships and love are, romance is really a business where the man and the woman both work to get the most they can by giving the least to the other person. Of course, sometimes participants in a romantic relationship "fall in love" and start giving the most they can to the other person. However, their purpose is always to get the most in return. Also, keep in mind that love is basically need. And the way it works is by making individuals feel love for someone they calculate will be able to and will satisfy one or more of their needs, such as sex, protection, connections, etc.

parallel message

Another message individuals express by means of the tonality, volume, pitch, or pacing they use while expressing the main message. It can support, compliment, refute, deny, or even contradict the main message.
When the girl said, "You're welcome" in a tone which said, "You're not fucking welcomed you fucking idiot," I knew something was up. To understand parallel messages say any word in the opposite intonation of what it means. Say "beautiful" while making a face of disgust. Say "ugly" as if you were saying "beautiful."

easyfication
