Also, I agree. men and women differ in some ways, but share many commonalities. I am a male, but I am very strong in being empathetic, and feeling what others feel, and trying to understand. I try to walk in everyones' shoes. It benefits you, because then you learn, but know yourself better as well, your likes dislikes, etc. Women are a different gender. Women are very attractive! That's really it. We all have a soul. We all have heart, emotions, feelings, desires, passions, needs, wants, and other things. Humanity is all a common species, our brains are all wired differently, yet we can always connect. Spiritually, emotionally, physically, etc.

Women have strengths and weaknesses that vary, minds that vary, as do men. Some guys are never in touch with their emotions, while others are. As is with women. Many women are very thick skinned, in that they are more like men. It's all a spectrum.

Exactly. I think it's good to be able to see "people" instead of "men and women". All people have different strengths, weaknesses, hopes, and fears, regardless of their genitals!

I didn't mean to say men and women are radically different. I meant we are ALL wired differently. I have a friend whom thinks completely opposite of me, and he is a guy. He is extremely logical, I am more creative, and a dreamer. The mind of a girl can be very different, or very similar to that of a guy. Guy or girl, we learn to connect with one another.

Well... I see people as people, but happen to be romantically attracted to women! lol The male genitalia does not turn me on in that way. But I would agree in that people are people. You find beauty in everyone. Whether the beauty is that of romance or just simply attracted to the person. I find people attractive, but I find women attractive in the sense of romance.

Oh of course, seeing people as equal doesn't mean you have to be equally physically attracted to them all!

Well, communicating I try, successful in that I have a degree, but not wealthy in that the job I can find is bagging groceries part time... and wealth comes in other forms too. I am wealthy in wisdom, knowledge, and love... does that count?

Don't stress about having lots of money, it's really not a big deal so long as you have the means to support yourself. Most people our age have similar jobs, and I would say being employed at all would be seen as a positive.

Really? Maybe it's my city but most people I know in their twenties are either still in university, working retail/waitressing/bartending, and sharehousing (or even living with their parents). These days, in this corner of the world, you'd be very lucky to have your own place before the age of 30.

Yeah I'm living at home myself. In america that's just how it seems. I'd love to have my own place by summer though... sooner if I can get that full time job.
