Yeah, that breed of man is called smart. Collaboration is key to survival.

Sometimes I call several months later. What can I say, I'm a busy guy! That goes without saying, regardless of what you're talking about. Always break the ice with a hook back to the past, even if you're just writing to inquire about business and job opportunities. Don't be witty if you're not...

Amateur. Learn the difference between competitors and opponents. You can collaborate with a competitor and both of you can make money, and perhaps even more than you would alone.

I was actually thinking more along the lines of marketing ROI. The point of determining your ROI is to find the point at which you are realizing the most bang for the buck. (Pun not intended.) Furthermore, you would also keep your costs down and quite possibly change how you make decisions about...

Since when is marriage necessary for procreation? I'm also pretty certain there are plenty of people below the poverty line that had children anyway. Nevermind the existence of child welfare programs that serve strong needs. Status, wealth, and presentation are relative. A woman with a mediocre...

I was anticipating disagreement. Here's why women are always buyers and men are always sellers: society, particularly Western society, was engineered through legal reformation and psychological conditioning to ensure that women always have the freedom to willingly select a mate. This normally...

A few months ago, I began writing an article on approaching relationships as marketing investments, planning for and evaluating return on investment. As I wrote, I thought the article would be too far from traditional thinking about relationships to receive a proper response. Interestingly...

I never graduated high school. I left halfway through my sophomore year to go to college. I was, at best, a C-average student. I attended community college over twice as many years necessary to obtain an Associate's degree and only conveniently obtained a Certificate. My college GPA stands at...

There are plenty of things you could be doing instead of plenty of other things. Stop with that excuse for poor life management skills. Anyone who wants to, and enjoys, playing video games, keep playing. Anyone who doesn't, fine, that's your prerogative. The choices you make that work for you...

Was that really necessary? Don't encourage him. ;p

When in Rome... or Sweden...

Complain to your boss because a) you're part-time and b) security isn't in your job description. Of course, if security is in your job description, haha. Tip: Get more contracts by offering to create before-and-after illustrations of your personal-training clients. Or just illustrate your new...

Good. You're not missing the point of living then. :)

Southern California-based entertainment consultant, earning $80/hour or low six-figure income. I enjoy what I do, what I help other people achieve, and the money's not a bad bonus as well. I'm trying to transition to being purely paid monthly retainers so I can relax my schedule.

Clearly, hence the different spellings and the different etymological histories and the different senses. synonym: "two words that can be interchanged in a context are said to be synonymous relative to that context" In the context to which I was referring, they are synonyms--equivalent...

Me? Pick a fight? That was the old me... Seriously, I've been banned, what, three times in the six years I've been here. Allen, the founder of SoSuave.com, has apparently deemed me valuable enough to have restored my membership three times as well, personally. I think that makes me the member...

First of all, you're in the wrong forum. Three words: return on investment. No, she didn't tell you that because she's just a freshman. In retrospect, she told you what you wanted to hear since women have a good sense of when the guy they're seeing is getting attached. She just wanted some...

That says it all right there.

In my business, yes I have. Don't believe me? I don't care.

Nonsense. Approve is attested from c. 1340, meaning "to attest (something) with authority;" hence, "favorable reception." Accept is attested from c. 1360, frequently meaning "to receive;" hence, "favorable reception." What does attest mean? In Latin, attested from 1547, "to confirm." In English...
