There are manifold facets to EVERY question! 
And too few people consider them. And those that do, tend to see only the major questions, and only examine them superficially. 
An interesting object lesson on unexpected affects/effects of things that PROBABLY AREN'T considered, in most cases! GOOD post, PK! 
I've been reading along on this thread, chris, and, from ALL your posts, I get the impression that you're attempting to use this thread to SOLICIT women! You're "advertising" your "benefits" WAY TOOOOOO HARD, for a discussion group, chris! IF you have to advertise yourself, so much, ESPECIALLY with all THOSE bebes, It makes me wonder what problems you have tucked away, UNADVERTISED! As, with "ALL THAT" going for you, you SHOULD BE swamped! And NOT have to "advertise", at all! 
Just saying it MIGHT BE something you want to think about/consider. Are you trying to SELL yourself, or attract somebody that likes you, because of YOU? 
I could add 1,000,001, here. But it all boils down to 1 thing, insincerity. I DISLIKE ANY and ALL forms of insincerity! We have ENOUGH plastic things, in the world, today, WITHOUT adding plastic people to the list! 
I gave you a for THIS post, Rachie! 
While THAT IS true, Rachie, for the VAST majority, (I think) it's relatively IRRELEVANT! 
Have you EVER contemplated a woman's 42 DD's, when she's 50, M? NOT as attractive as they were, at 23! Smaller breasts DON'T end up at belly button level, when a woman ages! So the woman DOESN'T seem/appear AS "old", when she has smaller breasts! Which, while MANY men ARE attracted to LARGE (EXAGGERATED feminess) breasts, at a young age, they're MORE attracted to the youthfulness, at an older age! We ALL like to THINK of ourselves as "younger", once we get over 35!
THAT COULD BE remedied - easily enough, M! And you have ONLY your "discriminating" taste to blame, anyway! As you've stated NUMEROUS times, you HAVE been approached, with THAT object in mind, on PLENTY of occasions! 
You're young and fit! Shouldn't be ANY PROBLEM, for such a woman as yourself, to remedy! 
Yes! You're RIGHT, Serene! But saying "interesting topics OTHER THAN politics" IMPLIES/INSINUATES that she thinks politics IS interesting! Or is THAT a little TOOOO subtle, for you to pick up on, Serene? You're WELCOME to look over your glasses, but trust me, that sort of subtle "looking down on me" propaganda DOESN'T WORK, on/with ME! You're NO MORE an "authority" figure, than ANYBODY ELSE, on this, or any other thread! You wanna try to pick on me, and wish to start a war of intimidation, with me, bring it on, girl! IF you haven't figured it out yet, I have NO PROBLEM with a war of words! I ENJOY a good knock down, drag out brawl! 
Define group mentality for me, please, Rachie? I didn't know that groups had a common brain! Now, IF you had said "MOB mentality", I would have understood, explicitly! But, in "groups" (such as the forums, there is USUALLY a diversity of thought and opinion. Or are you saying that you wish there wouldn't be any diversity of thought and opinion? It's NOT entirely clear, Rachie! That's why I'm asking. 
Riz, "I" LIVE in southern California! And TRUST ME, on this! Bananas DON'T RIPEN, NATURALLY, in SoCal! Yes. You can and WILL see banana trees, here! But you're NOT going to EAT any bananas from those trees! Certainly, banana trees, as well as ALL plants, CAN BE artificially manipulated. And I think that Monsanto has probably created a few GMO bananas, by now. But I've been in EVERY CORNER of southern California, and NEVER seen cultivated bananas!
At LEAST I can spell it! YOU can't even spell "Well"! But what's your problem, Blind man? You're SOOOOO uptight, you can't even enjoy a joke on YOUR joke? 
You're actually BECOMING the "trying" person you apparently dislike! 
THAT is easy enough to believe, Lee! But I HAVE to give credit where credit is due! You owned up to it, without another poster poster pointing it out! That's a step in the RIGHT direction!
One man's cheese is another man's Quiche, Bogart! But then, you haven't walked my roads, nor I, yours. You seem to be under the impression that I'm wound a little tight! But I guarantee you, that I'm one of the MOST laid back and easy going people you might ever meet! Sure, I've had my problems. We ALL do. But problems are only fun new puzzles, to me. I LEARN MORE from my "problems", than I do from my successes. And it's the problems I've overcome that make up the majority of my memories. I don't regret them. I don't have any "anger" about any of them. I actually enjoy the memories I have, of my difficulties. And recalling them is a positive, to/for me. Adds that little bit of extra confidence that will help me get over my present and future "problems". That "I CAN do this!"ness, that prevents me from becoming a quiter. So, while YOU may not like to "wallow" in the memories of the "hard" times, I enjoy music that talks to me of the difficulties I've overcome. 
WHAT, pray tell, Funny Girl, IS interesting, about politics!
Do you know that the recommended portion of a banana is only HALF a banana, M? (I know! Shook ME up, when I found out from a dietician, too! WHO eats HALF a banana? ) And more than 2 are NOT recommended! (Get your fruits ELSEWHERE, folks!) Now, you workout a lot, M, so you may need some of banana's nutrients, such as potassium, more than others. But 5 a day IS excessive, by ANYBODY'S measure! \ 
And WHO ever said that life HAD TO BE "fun", Said? And what makes you think that the birds and the bees are having "fun"? Do THEY have jet skies? Or drunken birthday parties?
Okay, M. Just for you. You're making an erroneous assumption. You're saying "I" want "something", here. I don't "want" anything - here. I hope to maybe make a few friends, here. But I have no expectations of doing so. (And, actually, I've already exceeded my hopes, in that direction.) Just as I have no expectations of hitting the lottery and finding a mate, here. I don't try to "mold" life, anymore. I make the best out of what lands on my doorstep. And that's enough, for me. I don't have some "goal" that needs to be reached. I have all I "need". I don't have any driving ambition to collect a bunch of "stuff" that will be as much "burden", as "benefit". Or bunch of acquaintances. Nowadays, I'm just satisfying my curiosity and enjoying life. I interact with people, so that I can improve my knowledge of people. Not because I want/need/expect anything of/from any of them. I try to contribute the little knowledge I have, to the discussions, occasionally. But whether a person accepts that information, and uses it, or doesn't, is not a concern of mine. I have no problem with people making mistakes that I've already made. We learn more from our mistakes, than we do from our successes. So I'm fine with people ignoring my thoughts. And you, like everybody else, here, see me as lecturing you. And I can see/understand people perceiving me that way. But I quit trying to teach people, a long time ago. I'm not lecturing anybody. I'm just laying my experience and understanding in front of anybody that might be interested in, or be able to benefit from, my somewhat varied and wide ranging background. And I get in the face of those I feel are trying to "use", and/or intentionally mislead people, here. I take almost no part in the lighthearted banter/flirting that goes on, here. But I do observe it.
But IF you learn to look at it right, Miwagi, you DON'T NEED a ticket! You're ALREADY HERE! And this IS heaven, if you have the right mindset!
Thanks for my required daily dose of laughter, M! I APPRECIATE that!
It depends on OTHER factors than their "dominance". Two strong personalities CAN get along very well, as long as there is mutual respect. Actually, two strong personalities can make the BEST teams , possible! ESPECIALLY if they have complimentary strengths! They'd be TOUGH to beat! JMO
