bad stuff happens.

So picking up girls is an indication of intelligence? I'm not saying I read to brag or try to pass off the impression of being smart; I just don't like how you're implying that some sexist, racist garage mechanic who drinks a lot and lynches Black people could possibly be a genius. I was not implying any superiority solely due to the fact of reading; otherwise, all the TwiTards would be members of MENSA.

Your argument made no sense. If getting education is a minimum, then with all the dropouts and flunkies there sure are a lot of massive underachievers. Education in the U.S. is primarily to keep kids out of gangs and trouble in the streets, not entirely to actually educate them. The education system is not based on some Platonian or More-esque Utopian notions of informed citizens. Explain why education in the U.S. is only mandatory to high school, then. School is only compulsory until 18, and then the kids can choose to either go to college (which a LOT don't end up doing) or just sticking to one job for the rest of their life. You're acting as though choosing to be educated is not a choice. It is.

LR im confused.. your smart, you like reading, studying, exploring so imguesaing your also quite ambitious right? youer saying all this as if its a bad thing, as if it makes you weird orsomething. it doesnt. its actually admirable. i see myself as a bit of a "nerd" lol. but my bf thinks im more like the smart librarian who all of a sudden whips off her glasses and lets down her hair haha! sexy right?

my point is intelligence is v attractive but only to other intelligent people who are not intimidated by it.

i dont understand y you feel so bad about yourself. you pick flaws in everything and even think all your good qualities make you look bad to others. you really do need counselling

pcmaster is the one implying that reading is stupid. He says college is for the stupid, too. He says learning is moronic. Those are his arguments.

Probably because you've got lots of money and sending her to some privileged school with a bunch of brat suburban kids. It's real easy to fit in when your parents have money and you go to school with other rich kids.

You really know **** all, you retard.

Yes, we have money, but our daughter goes to the local co-ed public high school. The one which many other parents choose not to send their children to. Why do I make this decision? Because I don't believe in surrounding a child with a fake microcosm of privilege. How will she learn to deal with people from all walks of life if she's not surrounded by them?

You're misquoting him. He thinks it's stupid if it's the only thing you do. And I agree with him. Learning is a wonderful thing, but if it's all you have in your life - then it must be a lonely sad place.

So? She'll just bond with other well-to do children who were sent there for the same reason. Thus preserving the stratification in public schools. In fact, there will an obvious disparity in public school for this reason. It's almost like flaunting to kids who don't have money.

These questions I ask about you actually have meaning. If you would answer to them, you will explore and understand yourself better. Afterwards it would cleary show the problem so letting concentrate on it better and deal with it. But if you dont answer I cannot help.

What I mean by talking up girls in liblary - it doesnt matter you are reader or runner - you have to be passionate about what you do - that what attracts girls(and any other people), letting them see that you are going somwhere in life, that you love what you do. Education is very good thing but its not granted that piece of paper will give you beautiful life. Yes the discipline and persistance developed to achieve high grades can help in life but how many guys out there cant get a job cause they dont have expierience in the field or how many people actually never use their education afterwards? Are you diferent than they are?

I'm passionate about a ton of things and do things that reflect that. Still single.

I'm shocked that someone with a child with autism would call someone "retard." O.O

Anyway. LR you know what you have to do to get things happening for you so unless you enjoy the negative attention, I suggest you leave the thread because anything said here is not going to convince you to change anything, anytime soon and everyone is just getting frustrated over that status quo.

You could be doing something more productive like email all the chicks in your area and maybe scouting meetup.com to see whats going on there or checking out to see if there are any reading clubs at your school that you might enjoy.

My brother met his now widow at a group therapy session of all places. Like I said, every pot has a lid and he found his while getting over his shyness and social phobia.

So, I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't? As you're so smart, what do you think middle class parents should do with their children's schooling?

She will bond with other *well behaved and polite children*. Her group doesn't care whether or not they have money....the only requirement to being in her group is being a pleasant person who doesn't cause trouble....and being a geek doesn't hurt either.

Actually, the thread HAD really gotten to me last night; could not sleep and had an anxiety attack over it after really thinking it through. I HAD been envisioning getting a makeover...But I don't have a girl friend that could help. AND it doesn't help constantly being overwhelmed by basil.

The makeover comes BEFORE the girlfriend. No girl wants a fixer-upper

No, I mean a friend that is a girl. To go shopping with. Hence, the space between girl and friend.

So get a stylist at the mall to help.

You don't need a girlfriend, just go to a stylist near you... NOT some Magicuts franchise douche right out of hair cutting school either... and just tell them to help you with a new look. They'll take care of you and then you can take your camera and ask them to take a good photo of you smiling (and without those blue glasses in your current profile).

Now.. get the hell out of here and do something thats going to help you with your goal, something other then listening to us all the time. No one in here can give you anymore info on "what you NEED to do." It's all been said before so go find something else that we can tell you how to do it. :D

I didn't mean stopping at a haircut and calling it a makeover. I meant, clothes, taste, the whole thing. In fact, my former best friend turned object of intense scorn became the monster he is because his girlfriend introduced him to new things and entirely revamped his look. Now he's a spectacular jackass and good with the girls!

Start with your hair.

*Wavezzzz* (cause he's left and he's checking out the chicks on OkStupid.

Girls just dont feel enought confident about themself to go out with a super passionate guy like you. Must be only explanation.

Lol. Personally, I would've expected that to be the last thing: I assumed clothes and tastes would go first.

And no, I am trying to do my homework, not chasing a pipe dream on OKC. Seems like the .000000000000001% chance I have might have to be IRL, through some huge, miraculous chance event.

Not a hair stylist, I mean find a stylist at the mall who can do the total revamp. Ask at the information desk.

I'll tell you why girls don't like career-driven or passionate (about things other than those girls)guys: they hate feeling like they're playing second-fiddle and the times they want affection, the guy has to do things related to his job. Yet when the guy has free time for a change the girl would rather watch TV or go drinking at a bar and flirt with other guys.

They do that?! And for guys? And I hope I wouldn't get stuck with a gay guy (the gay isn't the problem; the problem is, his suggestions might consequently be very gay or even metrosexual suggestions).

So why do we see so queries from girls who aren't satisfied with their bloke because isn't career driven?

Yet another massively incorrect LR generalisation.

Yeah, but they always complain about their guys yet stick with them. So few of them ever work up the gumption to leave who they aren't satisfied with. At the least, my generalization proves that passion about things is not an attracting quality; it's secondary at best.

Lol. I am going to a watch party on Monday at a Buffalo Wild Wing's for Monday's game. First time ever. Since I am not driving there, I think I'll drink a lot. Maybe something good will happen with that? Alcoholic as it may sound, alcohol helps me be sociable and I mean, night and day difference.

Dude, alcohol helps most people be more sociable and let down their hair. Welcome to normality ;-)

*two thumbs up* Have fun LR and then when you start emailing chicas again on Monday, just argue with them about something you've read in their profile. Your arguing gets us chicas here replying back. lmao

I had a point in there somewhere, but I forgot...wicked ache from the exam I just took.

Don't care... go do something productive ... there may be new profiles to pursue.

Chuckle.....I'm sure he'd send me and my friends all straight to AA

Lol. Now he doesn't care about my drinking; yet he yells at me very loudly and threatens to kick me out because I drink energy drinks. o.0

Don't care. go do something

Rofl, I still have homework to finish.

So move out. Honestly, sometimes in life you just have to do what must be done.

I was thinking of proposing to a friend of mine about getting an apartment. One guy making min. wage cannot afford an apartment himself. Err, to add: an apartment in So.Cal alone.

Well... some do. But does he really want to get with a girl that wants to change him to suit herself? That shit get old, fast.
