Blackfoot, thanks for sharing your story. You're right that his forum is unusual in the level of intelligence here, the heartfelt emotional support everyone gives each other, and the tough discussions that we have.
Re LFL's comment... I didn't find your attitude "cocky," but OTOH I don't mind a guy being cocky as long as he has something to be cocky ABOUT.
And Lou had a point with this comment
Quote: Some women say they want strong men and when we are strong we are called mean or controlling. If we are gentle, we are called wimps.
The drop in a guy's self-esteem-- and the falling dominoes caused by that-- when the job stuff is not going right is something that I think women do not understand-- I know I don't. So it's good that you bring it up and keep reminding us. There was a long discussion of it on another thread yesterday that was very valuable.
