Hey you! Why the gratuitous slam at my sig line?

Sorry, Lil. didn't mean for it to come out that way. But, you know...me being at Cori's mercy and all, I get all flabberghasted and stuff comes out wrong.
I think it is a perfectly fine bit of wisdom, and I was simply trying to point out that these 2 examples were simply "chiles".

I get that from you having said, numerous times, that your sex life and the quality of your sex life, is the responsibility of Mrs. Cac. I've never seen you own up to your half of it. That doesn't mean you haven't... I just haven't seen it. If you have... my apologies to you.
Oh. I thought I had. Yes, I am a very unattractive person. I get that. I don't get what that has to do with any "fear of claiming who I am, and being that". or that there even is any such a fear.

...And if that doesn't work, find another way. Do something else. But don't sit there and tell me you are at someone else's mercy. Bullpucky.
YOU are the one saying that I'm at someone's mercy. I never said that. I simply described 2 nearly identical examples of technical problems that are beyond my personal skill set, and will therefore require the consultation of a specialist to solve.
You do not come off as a man who is happy. You seem really pissed off, actually.... about lots and lots and lots of things.

And the general reason you give for that, to me, seems to be you always feel like you are at the mercy of someone or something else.

who would be here if they were "happy"? this is a place for griping about bad stuff. so certainly, things are going to seem overwhelmingly "negative". For me personally, I vent frustration...I dont get terribly frustrated unless I have a problem that is either really hard to solve, or just plain unsolveable. And yes, there ARE such things that are just plain unsolveable, by anyone, and I believe such things are at the root of my unattractiveness. very, very frustrating.

Why Men Don't Talk About Their Jobs


yeah. It would be better titled, "Why some Women Think Men don't talk about their jobs". The conclusions are all based on innacurate assertions. Sure, it would be nice if it were that simple. But the reality is that when men talk about that "stuff", the typical response is something along the lines of, "gee, it must suck to be such a victim, and be at other people's mercy all the time"...
and then the men say, "ya know what? fu, I don't want to play this game anymore". and THEN they feel much better.
