Well you brought it up, so explain yourself? I laugh that you consider me arrogant when all you do is talk about what you have.

If you try and set me up to fail when it comes to "companionship" you are going to get a red hot tongue lashing....that is just disrespectful and dishonest of you to do that. Anybody that puts up with "hurdle jumping" is a push over and cattle.

I purposely try and set them up to fail so I can choose the best girl for me. Same thing with a job

I would hate for somebody like that to be throwing me "curve balls" at job interviews.

I've been asked more than a couple of times what my weak points are. Prepare yourself to give a credible and not too damaging answer if you're asked this question.

Is "I don't have any. Or sorry can't think of one at the moment" a good enough answer; however, think how funny it would be if the interviewee said "Ya I come in late to work when I have a hangover, pass gas at everyone I meet, and never take a bath". LOL

That's average stuff. I plenty of other things as well, but I'm not on here talking about them--then it would be bragging.

What the heck is an EF account?

If the person had the right personality, I'd probably get a kick out of it. Like the guy who wrote "and arm and a leg" under salary expected on his application the other day. I'm still giggling about that one, LOL!
