@KingofPuss Definitely good advice. I've always had a really strong ego. It has always either motivated me to complete things or inhibits me from doing something. As for what you said about shutting the ego off, I learned how to do it through meditation that I learned from a Buddhist monk...

I had an interesting day today. Went to the grocery store later this afternoon and I picked the lane that had two hotties, one doing the checking and the other bagging. Went through the line and started talking to the blonde one behind the register. Brunette at the end started loading my...

That's a great answer you replied to their question with. No woman has ever asked if I was gay before, but I have had them come to me and ask why I wouldn't pay any attention to them or why I routinely ignored them as they didn't understand. Then some of them would tell me that I was mean...

Yes, I've felt that way before, that I was preserving an image. You're right about the holy grail mentality as well. Unfortunately that image preservation didn't get either of us a lot of anything. Like you said, sure we kept our super egos intact, but how many friendships and/or...

Thank you for your post, as it is relevant to me and it will be something I remember. I have never had any problems in the looks and intelligence department, and there's been a lot of times I have let it go to my head. In high school I was literally viewed as unattainable by the girls in my...

Perhaps some women feel threatened by having someone who is really good looking. Underneath they might be afraid that there's the constant possibility he'd leave them behind for someone else (which could easily happen in this case), so she'd always have to be on guard against that.

No, I'd have to say that I'm not afraid of having something better unless I'm not fully understanding what you're asking me. After some more deep thought and being honest with myself though, the parts I miss the most wasn't the sex, or even looking at how beautiful both of them were (although...

You are right with that. Even though significant physical beauty is something I hold in high esteem, it isn't something I should be basing all of my interactions with people off of nor should it be the sole determinant of whether I decide I like someone enough to talk with, date, or get into a...

I was glad to do so. I usually have a strong intuition about people, and for you I just felt comfortable openly sharing those things. There is one more piece to it that I just thought about, that it is more than just a physical preference. I think that I have an underlying "fear" that...

Perhaps I am overthinking it. The two I was involved with were special to me, but even though it took awhile, I moved onwards. It seems that I am wanting expectations of other women I meet to be the same as or very similar to what I experienced with those two when I should be enjoying each new...

Are you sure that you aren't a shrink or a behavioral scientist? All joking aside, my dating history has been somewhat limited. The first one I had was when I was 19 when I went to college for the first time around. We met in the cafeteria one day and I thought she was nice so we started...

Sodbuster, browbeaten was the last thing I was as a child. I couldn't help but laugh when I read your post, but I understand why you wrote it. I was the only child in my family and my aunt (my dad's twin sister) paid far more attention to me than her own granddaughter as she came to our home...

Yes, my expectations are extremely high in many areas. I used to think that was always a good thing, but now I am not so certain. Intimacy I would not have any trouble with as sharing feelings and trust is an area I am usually pretty good with. Rejection however is something I do not do well...

I wouldn't say so. I have a lot of friends of all different ages that I do things with, from people a few years younger than me to people that are age 75 and I enjoy them all. I have no shortage of people to talk with every day, both over social media and in person. Now I have decided I want...

I've suffered from that before, and let me tell you that like you said, it isn't fun at all after that high wears off. There was a girl that I loved back in high school, and it continued on for so long, those feelings kept going even after that woman got married several years ago as I wasn't...

Eventually, yeah, I'll be looking for "the one", but not for quite awhile. If I was looking for that, I'd bring in a great deal more criteria than just looks and intelligence such as cooking, type of job/education, etc. I guess my issue is that if I am going to be spending a lot of time with...

Hello everyone. I'm new to these forums, but I have been doing quite a bit of reading on the site of all the posts from people and I like what I've seen. I have a significant issue that maybe you all can offer some insight on. I'm currently 25 and in college, finishing up the remainder (one...
