I could have written your thread myself. I am definitely in your boat.

I believe that this type of man who says he wants the woman you have described, then comes to resent her, is a man who is insecure in himself.

Why can they not just accept us for who we are and not feel threatened? I do not attempt to pose as a threat to them. They should feel proud to have an intellegent woman on their arm, someone others think highly of, instead of a "dumb blonde" type.

I have about given up on ever having a mate and have even stopped searching. I am doomed to be alone. I would just love to have a companion who is understanding, who wants to go out and share lifes joys. Where is the threat in that???

I even tried marrying a man who lived under a bridge. Don't do it, it didn't work either.

Where do all the intelligent men hang out... who aren't arrogant and stuck on themselves?

I can agree with your two lincolns, I just wonder why so much attention is always paid to it. Minus my studies, Im a regular girl that just loves to travel and enjoy life, like anyone else.

Understood perfectly?

But do you find yourself doing weird things because of loneliness?

Like an example, getting crushes so soon or having sex with just anyone to feel the love?

Or want to date just anyone just to feel his or her warmth?

What you think?

Well, I can only speak from my own experience of course. I find that the common chant from men is that they want an "independant, self sufficient, ambitious, educated" woman "with her own money". I personally don't think that a person's station in life determines their worth. No, I don't think I'd be interested in dating anyone that lives under a bridge or in a box, but the guy living under the bridge (or in a box) could still be a genuinely nice person.

I've found that some men will initially find a brainy woman stimulating and interesting at first but then quickly become somewhat resentful of it. I've been patient & understanding thus far of these types, but I can only do so much. Has my brain doomed me to a fate of singularity? Has my education estranged me from my male peers?

Just wondering.

Anyone else in my boat? Or am I sailing this sea all by my lonesome?

Is feeling lonely is in the same category as being single? Can someone be single and not lonely, or is it a mind over matter thing?

What you think?

My son played organised hockey and was really good for his age group but they came to me asking that I allow them to advance him to a higher age group I said no---let him have his glory playing kids in his group.

He was the Wayne Wayne Gretzky of his hockey for several years getting mvp of the team and entire league for his age group receiving plaques---medals it all except most sportsmen like--he was much too egotistical for that.

I don't know what cheer leading is like or if it's competitive but I do know that raising to higher levels can bring about esteem problems when the older kids are better.
If she is really good at her own age level it will only promote and build her esteem to feel her glory as the best.

Receiving a sense of glory is the ultimate sensation to have for a child.

I was really great in martial arts as a child and it built my self esteem so much.

Hey guys everthing in my life has been so crazy i just needed some people to be able to talk with.

Have you ever had the feeling that everything was ok (maybe not ok but you accepted it for what it was) and then something happened that just changed everything?

Well, a couple weeks ago my mother came back into my life. Which you'd think achild would be excited about. She left me a long time ago. We got into a car accident, she was drinking and driving and resulted in me in the hospital for a while, i was even in a coma. She left shortly afterwards which i thought was just a result of her guilt. But now that she is back she said she was at a place in michigan she was suffering from severe depression.

So after the accident i ended up moving to California, my dad made a life for us. My Dad, My older sister, my older brother, and I. I soon made a lot of friends out here and eventually i ended up meeting a great guy. We were together for a long time, then one day i found out i was pregnant. We were so excited it wasnt like a normal teen pregnancy we were trully happy. Well i was about 4 months a long when i was at toys r us picking out gifts for my baby shower. When i ended up collapsing with the most pain that i ever was faced with. I ended upp going tothe hospital to f ind out i had a miscarriage and later found out that from previous accident i was so severly scared that i wouldnt be able to carry for full term. So on top of my frustration o f my mother leaving me she was to blame for something that would effect me for the r est of my life.

I pretty much broke down at this point ended it w/ my BF, and just turned a way completly from everything and everyone. a while after i got involved w/ a nother guy that ended u p cheating on m e and completly breaking my heart. Which addedto the never ending pain.

Now that my mother is around i wanna like her and ina way that i do but i still blame her for so much. Now that she's back my dad tries to bring my ex- love of my life around. He'slike throwing him at me.

and after i accepted all that has happened now that she's back all these strong emotions are all coming back. Lately i've been up crying..

Any advice on how to let go ?

what attracts people to become soldiers? sure is a dangerous profession and all that training, pressups, square bashing, authority dramas, uniforms, heavy packs, guns and vests.. does it really pay that much? do you get much respect from people? it must be hell on relationships?

But doesn't that tell you something, that feeling you say about being hated???

Try tuning it around, living in a country and being shot at a control post, just because someone with a triggerhappy finger thought you looked suspicious...

sorry but I think you are a little naive on the subject - clusterbombing places all over the world does not make it safer "specially not for children"

You never heard of the protest marches???

And it will stop when people want it to??

Well, we want it stopped!!!

The US is the only country in the world where the peace movement is unwilling to recognize, publically condemn or oppose the major influential political and social institutions consistently supporting and promoting the US wars in the Middle East. The political power of the pro-Israel power configuration, led by the American Israel Political Affairs Committee (AIPAC), supported within the government by highly placed pro-Israel Congressional leaders and White House and Pentagon officials has been well documented in books and articles by leading journalists, scholars and former President Jimmy Carter. The Zionist Power Configuration (ZPC) has over two thousand full-time functionaries, more than 250,000 activists, over a thousand billionaire and multi-millionaire political donors who contribute funds both political parties. The ZPC secures 20% of the US foreign military aid budget for Israel, over 95% congressional support for Israel’s boycott and armed incursions in Gaza, invasion of Lebanon and preemptive military option against Iran.

Its not going to stop !

I try very hard to stay out of political discussions. But when I read the thread about whether or not women/men should be removed from the Middle East, I had to throw in my 2 cents worth. First of all, I feel it is important to give support to the men and women who have dedicated their lives in service to their respective countries, whether it be the United States or Britain or any other supportive countries in the war that is currently going on. I don't know why my profile reads that I am from London, I am not, I am American! It saddens me that men and women are losing their lives on a daily basis fighting a war that will most likely go on whether or not we remain present and active participants. The reason why I say there is a reason for the madness is that most people don't realise that Iraq was once one of our allies. The problem as I see it at least one of the problems is that we the US/Britain have supplied aid to these countries by way of training their military, given them weapons, planes, etc. Secondly, you can not go into a country that has become completely out of control and expect to go in there and make changes immediately. I am by no means no expert in the field of warfare but I really believe that if you are going to make any changes you can't wait until things become chaotic. The US and Britain have always been generous in offering support and aid to war torn countries, yet our own countries are suffering! When we offered aid to Saudia Arabia, one of the richest countries in the world, did they pay us back? No!!! Why not? They have the money to do so! We imposed sanctions on Cuba and when Hurricane Katrina occurred, who offered us aid?...Fidel Castro!! Of course we declined his offer, stupid on our part, don't you think? It is time to lift the sanctions against Cuba so that people will stop trying to escape their country because they are hungry and don't have decent livng conditions. I've gone off on the original theme here, I guess what I'm really trying to say is, there are many reasons why the world is in the condition it is today. We can't blame Bush, we can't blame Britain's Prime Minister, we can't blame Bill Clinton, etc. What has happened to our world is we have sat by and let the Holocaust happen, we turned our heads at the conditions in the Sudan, Bosnia, etc., we imposed sanctions against Cuba and now our shelters are filled with escapees, we sent our men and women off to fight a war with the declaration that there were weapons of mass destruction that have yet to be found, etc. And the sad thing is, every day another soldier's body arrives home for a distraught family to bury, hidden from the news unless it is local, how sad indeed!!

No - we are not staying out of this -
If anyone likes to be comfortable believing lies - no one can help it -

but - there is all the reason in the world NOT to keep silent about the ongoing invasions of other countries - how very ingorant and arrogant the request - to say that the US has any right to break the UN and human right conventions they created and signed - in order to oppress the rest of the world ...
