Sadly, I know I'm a lot more vulnerable than I think I am, if that makes sense.
Yes it does, and it explains a lot. Or, I should say, it shows how smart you are through the bravado.
You're smart all...a girl! I keep expecting to see evil spock with a goatte whipped on.
Quote:
But in a way, what I believe about myself defines my reality
I know precisely what you mean. You can just about defy reality with a brave enough front. A slightly related concept I call the Road Runner Thesis: hurtling forward you can do amazing things, just so long as you never look down while you're over the canyon, 'cause if you do, you fall.
Quote:
See, I truly see myself as not lonely. So long as I know I'm not lonely, I'll just not be.
I know what you mean, I'm just telling you it's on an egg timer. It's easier for you because in the back of your mind you know you're still hot and still not quite in middle age. The problem is right about fifteen minutes from now. It will change, my pretty.
Quote:
Until, of course, it slaps me across the face and says, "Pay attention, dammit!" As it does every now and then
Doubles every year. Just remember. Every year.
Quote:
*scowl* You're a real prince. Or another "pri" word with considerably fewer letters.
A prize? Aw, thanks!
Quote:
*innocent grin* Who...me? I was, of course, just putting myself in the middle of your little scale -- not too hot, but not too not, if you get my drift.
Actually, if I had to guess I would guess you're pretty decently hot. It fits with your personality.
Quote:
See, I'm usually the one who is chastised for "forgetting" to call, for missing a date, for not remembering birthdays/anniversaries. My ex can still remember when we first kissed, for God's sake. I can't even remember the exact day I left him.
Hmm, I'm searching for a word, something to capture how I think about that...oh yeah! Liar. I know for a fact the bravado stance comes from being hurt, so it's very likely the feller is seared into your brain. You see it's like this: the reason you're putting up the front is due to you learning that you ARE vulnerable. People learn they're vulnerable when they get hurt. Now, part of it is nature: I do believe you have a less than needful way, that I believe. But I also know it's exagerated out of a -oh god forgive me for the words- a defense mechanism. You don't merely avoid the sentimental stuff, you put on a SHOW about it.
Quote:
Except for that last bit, you're spot-on. You might even be right about the last, though I'm usually far more comfortable around men than I ever am around women.... But if you mean afraid of a real relationship with a man, then you're by-God right on the money.
That's precisely what I meant. I also believe you when you say you run away the first time a man says something soft that girls like to hear.
You should probably go easier on most men than you do though: I speak from experience when I tell you we say that to girls to get them into bed. It's just a trained response. We say something cute, they awww, we keep looking at our watch until we can say "Yaaawwwnnn, this has been great bonding...so, I'm a bit sleepy. Wanna bond some more over there on the bed?".
Quote:
I don't disagree on any particular point. Which sucks.
Yeah, it's probably good you realize earlier rather than later that I'm just about always right. So you get used to it and all, you know.
Quote:
Heh, I like that I have you all avoiding stuff, though. Makes us even, don't you think?
No. I owe you a real live smack on your rear for your insolence, a good one that leaves a red spot for twenty minutes. You're in luck, being that far away. Real luck.

Oh how I would enjoy taming you.
Hmm... why would you want to "tame" her?!? In my opinion.. most women (scratch that.. just about ALL women) need a heavy dose of the oposite. They need to learn to discover.. get in touch with.. and set free their inner slut... not be "tamed". But I know what you mean by "tamed"..
.. I am just playing with the word.. Also take what I say with a grain of salt..
.. because this is comming from a guy with an infinite lust that is lucky that there is even one women on this planet that could handle it.. and keep up. 
Smaug..

Hey Bitterbierce, start your own "world according to BB" thread so the rest of us can focus on the dating thing.
I promise to visit your thread and say at least a few witty feminist things so you can say witty he-man things in return.
Ask Dr. Science ... he knows more than you do.
"I have a Master's degree ... in science!"

The Bodhisattva Nagarjuna said that there are only four good types of females: Obedient sisters, loving companions, good mothers and submissive maidservants.
Have you ever:
Used your teeth as wire strippers?
Given yourself stitches?
Made improvised munitions with no base supplies?
Pissed in a canteen?
Gone a month without bathing?
If so, you MIGHT just be a !HOOAH MOTHERF*CKER!

But just in case anybody's still listening...
I'm a 20-year-old SWF (21 on March 2nd!), going to school in Pittsburgh, PA, but originally from central New Jersey. Aside from FF, I love photography and the written word. I think I'm an easy-going, low maintenance chick - maybe a Kaylee/Zoe, with a bit of River's goofiness thrown into the mix.
Guy-wise, I adore Washies - goofy and smart and sweet and not all hard and muscley. I look for someone who can be a good friend first, and a good boyfriend second. I also love committment (OK, anyone reading just tuned out right there), so one-night-stands don't interest me at all.
Just got out of four years' worth of CRAZY, and I'm not looking to dive into anything, but it's never a bad thing to just have a friend.
Anybody who feels like chatting...hit me up!

Zoe: "I don't think she'd harm anyone."
Jayne: "Butcher knife!"
Zoe: "Anyone we can't spare."
No kidding. My birthday is the same day, though, a few years earlier.
Always fun to see someone with the same birthday. I even used to live in PA. I miss it sometimes. The snow on the mountains, the green trees.....PS I am smart and sweet and like committment.

No, I don't think you do know what I mean.

I would caution against using that question to determine another person's psychology.
I'm only interested in some aspects of your personality. nice of you to be concerned about the psychological accuracy of my novel's characters, but I know what I'm doing
.Quote:
I don't have a personality like either
I know you are not the incarnation of Mal or Jayne. Neither is the character in my story. I can talk about my theories about people if you want, but I thought it would be better to just pose a simple question (that would give me some kind of indication).
Quote:
I couldn't let this thread die without taking the chance to work out aspects of your psyche to the finest detail
Err yeah, silly thing to say. Was trying to be jokey but forgot the no.1 rule of web conversation: grin like a monkey using emoticons whenever you use the slightest hint of irony.
Of course it's no problem for yourself cos ppl know there's no danger of you ever being serious!
too much?So, seriously again - are you happy to answer my question?

This is the really sad thing... all you guys out there that think the whole "lesbian" thing is hot (I don't get it)..
What's to get? It's addition. One woman = good. Two women = twice as good. It's always at least slightly disconcerting to have another man around who isn't you anyway, so it's a way to see them have sex without an enemy penis. Two of them!
I do understand why it leaves some people cold, though. I didn't get it until one day in my late 20's, when it just suddenly MADE SENSE. And I mean all at once, in one instant. I believe my exact phrase was "ohhhh, TWO women!". See, cause it's more than one woman! Having SEX!
