All
Information overload. Deep - Thought provoking - and lots of it, with a wide variety of subjects.

Too late already am.
I will attempt to respond without digressing into a favorite topic (myself) too much.

Quote:
I'm used to and completely content with doing things for myself. My issue that needs to be fixed is doing too much for others, too dependable. I take on so much that I get frustrated with the load after a while, which is no one's fault but my own. Learning to sit on my hands has proven to be quite a challenge, but I'm getting better.
I avoid many posts for that purpose. Often I think I can do good but I realize my time writing and their reading is better spent elsewhere. It sometimes is egotistical of me to believe I can make such a difference.

Quote:
It is the truth - it is reality from my perspective. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - different minds will have a different take on this whole appearance mess.
It is your perspective and your world. Only you can determine what you want thus if someone tells you to change your criteria they are wrong. You may need patience but you have time.

There is a segment of the population that seems to characterize my appearance as falling into the definition of attractive. And there are times when men that belong to that segment react to my appearance.
I agree. Often what we see as very attractive we act differently. I have analyzed my actions afterwards over time and felt embarrassed but both myself and the other person. Nothing immoral or overly foolish but too eager to please. When it was done to me in some previous decade I knew how I felt.

I had to establish my Remington Steele law firm so my appearance was invisible and all that I put out there was my brain - to be taken seriously
That violates the number 1 rule of business. Green. Ok I will not invest in tobacco companies but Hey I love a good Cuban cigar. That does not make me a bad guy! I may flirt with the attractive lady in marketing but if the ugly old man gets me a better deal then he gets the business then I have enough dough to buy the attractive lady's good looking friend dinner since I do not mix dating with people I work with. Bad for business.

I dated my bosses best friend and that got hairy. If I ever run into that female boss again I will have to thank her for not firing me since for other reasons my only accomplishment was to stay employed at that time. I would have fired me.


Quote:
When I was at The Resort. There were two occassions where two different women that I was hanging out with were visibly annoyed at the male attention I was getting
I love those ladies. All the competition goes to one source then I clean up the rest. They get slammed and I get variety and numbers.

This has all the makings of a great business idea.

Years ago when I was training regularly I lived 5 miles from a town of 200 people thus coyotes outnumbered us. Some of the menfolk asked me if I was going to pursue their wives. Actually one of them who asked hit on my X years later (dirtbag) but it was funny cause it was something I never considered or desired.

Quote:
I am also going to participate in the political fun stuff - not to change the world - but to get involved in the social scene. I want to go more the fundraisers
I know nothing about these folks but you may find a like minded person secure in their self. To be able to give to a fundraiser they must have had luck or brains. Best of luck.

As a man it's easier in this department. When younger I choose to shave my head, dress, and acquire mannerisms that were contrary to what most ladies seem to like since all you need is one. Now that personna has been forged by experience and the initial effort it is all I know but I am comfortable with it because it was my choice I did for myself. In fact my entire situation has arisin from a series of choices most which I made or influenced. It is my decision on how to label said choices.

When I am on that beach it's my beach and I run it. With your firm it's your firm and you run it. You can look like Holley Berry or Golda Meier cause it's your firm. What counts is your confidence and ability to do the job for your clients so they get the #1 color in business. Green.

AG There is a reason why you look the way you do.
AO there is a reason why you have the ability to pass on information on the subjects you do.

In each case it is a good thing. In my world both of you would be considered arm candy and I would get my peers respect however that's a bonus cause the #1 objective is a good time had by all.
