I dont know why your name was on there. Maybe because you are funny... I probably edited out some other comment. It was an error.

your comment about women gettting a bum rap on the more, bigger, better materially.

ABSOLUTELY.

Men have terrible boundaries with their W, wont say no, etc and then feel like she is never satisified. A woman just wants a great EC. Men try to purchase this from them by saying yes to their wants. Buying them what they want instead of giving them what they need. QT. and security via lack of debt.
NO.NO.NO. Say NO. No gets complaints but earns respect.

Thats why I almost never talk about the provider part of the attraction equation. A woman knows exatly what she is willing to accept in this department. (and I am savvy enough to see what it is, around here even, tells me even more about the interactions, and women in them.)

You cant fake her or your ability. So dont try to buy your W affections. Thats supplicating at its absolute worst.

What I do for fun. Read- on the road/on the job during downtime, interior remodeling of self, figure out ways to increase my 'perceived value' at job, then act like court magician/jester at work/nightclub on weekends. Workout, hangout with friends. Im not diving right now, but I alternately teach a class and due some related scuba activities. went skiing. Im getting to a place of balance, except with the eating. only getting about 2500 calories a day, need to double it. Still too slim. blech. Things are good, going to be great soon. Everything is getting handled, just hectic.
play guitar while surfing here, trying to add more songs to the repoitoire. (insecurity from OM...)
Goals, take voice lessons, see if I can improve my singing ability, (insecurity from OM... ) and sign up for college classes. took the GRE back in Houston, need to figure out a direction. Go to belize with/or to meet Chromo. <crossing fingers>

Lots of others, I am taking care of me, just a little overboard. not lost in funk. They usually last 5 minutes or less. Thanks for asking.
