".....In one study of average computer users, the average rate for transcription was 33 words per minute, and only 19 words per minute for composition. In the same study, when the group was divided into "fast", "moderate" and "slow" groups, the average speeds were 40 wpm, 35 wpm, and 23 wpm respectively.
An average professional typist reaches 50 to 70 wpm, while some positions can require 80 to 95 (usually the minimum required for dispatch positions and other time-sensitive typing jobs), and some advanced typists work at speeds above 120.[citation needed] Two-finger typists, sometimes also referred to as "hunt and peck" typists, commonly reach sustained speeds of about 37 wpm for memorized text, and 27 wpm when copying text but in bursts may be able to reach up to 60 to 70 wpm. Some people can type upwards of 70 wpm with two fingers.........."
I have loads of Dutch friends living here who are a delight to be with. It might even have something to do with their language and how they use it, that makes me like their witty humour so much.
Sure there isn't Dutch in you somewhere? The culture has rubbed off on you someplace I recon.
Can hardly apologise for linking your wit and cleverness to an intelligent culture, now can I? Apologies if I offended Texans though.
I believe that the Dutch slant on humour is probably the best in the world. Their mastery of language, particularly English, is second to none. They have an innate cleverness that is really charming.
The trick to avoid baggage, is not to let your experiences put you off having more experiences, but to just make you cautious, and then have the experience again anyway.
You're not carying anything but a fiery passionate nature, and any man worth his salt would love that as an added bonus to a wonderful open personality.
I was only giving one incidence as an example Con. Of course I agree with you that people do repeat the same mistakes, and even make the same decisions, over and over, often to their own detriment, and that of others. I think that maybe that is how many people interpret baggage, IE: in repeat performances. It doesn't have to be repeated to get in the way of moving on in life though, either by yourself, or with others.
Anyone who can't repeat a life experience, is still carrying that first experience of it, (baggage). If they weren't, they wouldn't hesitate. They'd jump right in there again, trusting everything to be diifferent.
Putting things to the back of one's mind, (forgetting them), does not mean they are no longer there. Usually they are just waiting for an opportunity to be triggered, and surface.

Changing is a delight on every level, when it is in progress, or after it happens, but for some, it is really scary in the beginning. I think that this is why so many people stay entrenched in the old and familiar.
Fear of the unknown has kept many a person out of a relationship.
All joking aside though, I think that women are almost as much to blame for not getting what they want. All that stuff should be tested and sorted before they attempt to settle down with someone.
Better trying to state likes and dislikes from the beginning, when he is infatuated, than to try to undo his regimented habits at a later stage, when what he does, has grated on your last nerve.
Not so easy telling him he has been getting it all wrong for 20+ years............
