Usually, you only have time to excel in one thing.

Not if I get on disability. It's starting to look doable. My uncle is connected.

Also, to reiterate this thread, as I just commended on the "cold approach" thread. Guys, I didn't realize what that term even meant. I've never done a "cold approach" the way it is described here. Don't just go around asking girls out. Yes, definitely network, practice the skills, get a circle of friends going if possible. Even if you're a tag-along. That's what I mean by approaching a stranger.

You can combine music and history and try to play... historical tunes (this one is 1400 bc old):




It is extremely similar to Oud music.

"Oldest recorded tune." You could always throw this clip at someone as a veiled jab to mean "This tune is getting old!" Haha.. ha... I do like it by the way.

Is music history one of your special interests?

The reality is, after a certain point in age (depending on how one ages), most people, men and women become sexually invisible.
Angela is not young anymore - so it's natural dating gets hard for her.

There are good things to be said about angela's personality tho, she is one of the few female wper who doesn't go quickly to defend every female in every story here - I liked her stance in the thread of prenup for example - while most female wpers were like "no, asking for prenup isn't romanitc / you are an evil man / you don't trust her" (even tho the female in the story showed greed signs), like seriously? - I was surprised that Angela, who's older than them, supposedly more old fashioned, and NT (hence supposedly more taken by emotion) had a far more egalitarian and logical stance on the matter.
So......when are you gonna propose to Angela? :mrgreen:


WTH?! I go to jump into my haystack for a few hours of beauty rest and I wake up to this? 8O

I'm like that because I know what it is like to have to work hard for what I have and I don't like people who do the same to get taken advantage of. That guy was and is getting taken advantage of and being told what to do with his money that he worked hard to earn and save. Some here have said that I'm a gold digger and that isn't true - I just want someone who has worked hard to get where they're at like I have had to do. I think it also goes back to me never being in control of my money until I got out on my own - my father has always had control and still does to a point. I have a lot of money that I made before I started living on my own that my father still keeps and I probably won't get until he is gone. He is very controlling. That is why I didn't like it when that guy had no say over HIS money that HE spent several years of his life working and saving. There are a lot of women out there who think they can get a free ride and a lot of men are gullible and put up with it and get really screwed in the end. I wouldn't mind a prenup because I'm a realist and I have things to lose. And the sad part of it is that most marriages do end up in divorce.

You wouldn't be bad Boo. You are actually cute, but I don't think you see it. You're a little too young and the wrong religion. Like NT's say, "Don't worry you'll find someone." (They forget the part "When you're 85 and in the old folks home) :mrgreen:

Agree...he's so cute regardless whatsoever that I feel like teasing him.

I don't believe in God....so I don't think I "lack" God. Therefore I am not "Godless."
