Not sure if that's sarcasm or blind optimism.

Not sarcasm. There are good things in everyone. I genuinely believe that.

I wish I could believe that, but I'm well aware that I have zero redeeming traits, and I'm sure there's other equally worthless people out there too.

I believe there is good in most people.

I believe, even amongst "bad" people, that there are, at times, good intentions.

No, you are wrong. Tell me one thing you like about yourself.

His claw is not as "saber-y" as it seems to be at first glance....

Nothing really. There was a time when I thought highly of myself, but that arrogance is long gone.


Eh?

In other words, you're really a cool guy, even if you don't know it.

Pfft, I know you don't believe that. I've been hostile and nonconstructive on this site, plus I do have that bad habit of talking about myself too much in threads. Besides which, I just just don't fit in. There is no reason anyone here would consider me cool.

My avatar is actually a good depiction of me. Even though that creature, the Sabreclaw, is just an enemy from a video game I enjoy, it's a pretty good analogy for how people, women especially, perceive me - a harmless but ugly monster.

I like your honesty, openness and avatar, wanna be friends?

Hey...don't spit at me, Bro! LOL

I think you're somewhat iconoclastic---but not really a bad guy. That's my impression.

It's a real outdoorsy place. But better have good job , car and own place as well as look attractive if you want a girl here.



You have a sales tax which is a worse way of accomplishing the same thing.
Oregon has income tax but no sales tax. I don't get taxed. If I lived in Washington I'd be homeless from the sales tax. Since it doesn't care about your poverty and taxes everyone's the same. No thanks.

Why does someone have to offer something?
See this is what bothers me about relationships today. They aren't about love. Their a business transaction. People are seen as objects to buy and negotiate over, rather then love and companionship, this is why divorce is sp high. They get married and as soon as the person no longer offered something they get divorced and move on to the next disposable human, quite sad really. People fault so hard to get away from this crap in the 1800s and to finally be with someone for love and now their great great great grand kids have thrown it all away and gone back to treating people as commodities and marring for status and wealth instead of love, Might as well go back to arranged marriages at this point.

I really hate that phras too boo. "What do you have to offer" it's used as a insult and to put people down, like a "wtf do you think you would ever have a gf your so worthless"

Why you with your wife
"Well she cooks, clean knits sweaters form me and good at sex"

"Why are you with your husband
"He has a good job, can fix things, cook, and has a nice car"

No love. Why not just hire a maid and visit a prostitute.

What happen to love, what happen to better or WORSE.
Society is so materialistic today that if you as a person don't offer some kind of material gain your deemed as worthless and unloveable. If you can't offer money or prefers useful tasks then what's the point. People use to get together for love and not care about that stuff. Now it seems I'm one of the few left who doesn't and only wants love and companionship. That's all a woman has to have for me. She can be completely talentless, unemployable, and failure at everything she does and I'd still love her.

Sly it used to be worse. People didn't marry for love, they married because it was the done thing.

Especially for women. They didn't have many rights and needed a man for financial support.

And the upper classes married for money and prominence, not love. They then just slept around with whomever they wanted after the first male child was born as an heir to their estate.

Now we are all free to choose. Both men and women.

I'll admit that we do live in a materialistic society, but there's no point glamourising a past that wasn't glamorous.

Romantic love has always be a luxury unfortunately.

Hurtloam you rock

That is what I meant, thanks so much for re-wording the essence so beautifully

I believe that one cannot control qualities in others like the many lists in the first pages of this topic. And other topics about the quest for the perfect gf...

Imho one can however attempt to find out about their strengths and how to use those to connect to someone else.

Love is all about connecting imho.

Auntblabby you are very kind, thank you

^^^prego a person might as well learn to love the reflection in the mirror.
