9/11/2010 – Arrogance and Lowering Your Standards 9/11/2010 – Arrogance and Lowering Your Standards “But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is”. Alan Watts The end of Week 1. Well, not much is going on as of yet. Three more weeks and I’m out I suppose. As of today I have 6 emails, 6 winks, and 60 views. Maybe that’s good, who knows. Still, I wonder what goes on in the minds of woman as they look me over when I wink at or email them. Do they think, “old creepy dude”, or “decent looking but old”, or “too educated”, or “too far”, or “good opportunity for a VISA” (observation contributed by a friend), or “sugar daddy” (ha ha ha), or “stuck up”, or “talks too much”, or “thinks too much”, or “too smart”, or “not smart enough”, or “too skinny”, or “not skinny enough”, or “sucker who will sign up on my site”, “sucker who will pay for a CAM session”, or ?. . . . . . I shared this dating experience with a female coworker, which led to her conclusion I would never find a good woman because I am too arrogant, shallow, and closed minded for anyone; that I will always be alone, missing out on allot of love over the past and coming years. Granted, mind you, she is telling me this as a friend because she cares. So I need to reflect, am I arrogant? Do I only care only about looks? Am I inflexible? Hmmmm. Let’s see, regarding arrogant. I would have to say no because although I am passionate, competitive, and dedicated to my profession, potential feelings of superiority stop there. So, am I arrogant/confident professionally? Yes (situational); but do I fundamentally feel I am better than everyone. No, quite the opposite I would think. In fact, I view every living thing as equal in stature to my own existence. The difference, I would think, lies not in existence and the social hierarchical construct we impose on ourselves and others; but rather, in how we choose to live out our lives. So in this sense, I believe we are all the center of our own universes, whose sum total of which reflects the only metaphysical truth there is, GOD. What about looks? Well, she might have a point there but I have an out. I am not interested in finding a woman who’s definition of beauty comes from the media sponsored by big business. Rather, I strive to find a woman that is beautiful to me, one I could still blend with (get physical) at 100. So, if you’re 30 and cute or 50 and cute bring it on, as long as you’re cute to me. What about being closed minded (inflexible)? Well, for right now, I’m probably guilty as charged. I supposed I need to have a woman in my life who has either already achieved close to or more than what I have achieved in terms of education, career, and finances, or has the desire to achieve those things in her lifetime. Having a family is given. are fine. Having no are fine too, as long as we live the experience together. In conclusion, I am reminded of one response to my last blog post warning some woman are serial daters and never make up their mind. While I have no doubt there are woman out there like that I have to believe it’s all about taking a chance, putting it out there again and hoping for a spark; something that includes the physical and more. So in retrospect I think maybe I need to just be patient and not expect to find a woman like ordering a Big Mac (I’m actually a Sushi guy). Do I have standards? Yes, don’t we all? Are these standards inflexible? Should I lower them? Of course not, they change every minute. The woman I end up with will definitely be the exception. In what way, I have no idea. The clock is ticking none the less. One month, tick tock.

you seem to be talking 'in-depth about things', if you note that is not so much an engaged activity within this site, lots of slap stick, and varied humor, or romanticized poetic renderings, and fantasy romance sequences, and a variety of other types of subject materials. go to blogs, and talk to people, and see what you can surmise as to your options, and see who interacts, and take it from there. but to talk about what is within the depth of relating, if you note, the limit of responsive on your other posting, gives an indications of how superficial some may care to remain, and not engage any subject matter, beyond what remains on the surface, so, consider the variables, you may need consider as options, if its a desire to be to connected to someone. Post humor and surface skimming feel good, laugh a minute things, and you may get a mailbox full of things, saying how nice a guy you are. although that may not your choice of methods in your aim, you seem to consider the intellectual aspects of communicating about what lies beneath the surface, and not many go into that, because a lot of web sites are about, putting on the "attraction face', more than what is really thought beneath the surface about a wide variety of things. don't give up there may be some that can come beyond the fairy tale search, and actually deal with what is expansive. If you know you are passionate about things, then you can't just give that up, to be appeasing to someone, who is intimidated by your passionate investment in the subjects of life, because if you did, you'd end up with someone who can't and won't contribute anything to conversational interactions, and they will soon become more a bore in such ways, than someone who connects on many different levels. if you really want to attract someone, post a lot of good time, out and about happy tales of socialite actives, and your will probably increase your chances of meeting someone, but it may not produce what you are looking for in specific. but if its only general level things "have some fun" kind of things, you should have no problem. there's a lot of people in the variety of sites on the web, some like to talk about stuff and some don't. so.. there is potential to find what you want.
