from the many i have known, you are right-- they dont have a clue, the ability of the human mind to divorce itself from the emotional self is frightening.
"ran" the kurasawa film-- comes to mind.

I dislike some successful people because their wealth has brought out their self destructive natures. Some for arrogance and some for elitist attitudes. I like some successful people because they have genuine humility and kindness to their fellow man.

We are all essentially lonely since our minds can only contact other minds through our senses. Communication is often less than perfect to convey what we really want and feel.

Your studies are incomplete if you feel math, biology and psychology can explain human nature. You need to look up the Philosophers and root through the various camps. Perhaps than you will stop thinking that you know what other people want before getting to know them.

The amount of Logical fallacies displayed is rather sad.
how does this relate to the topic? why does he need to "look up philosophers? btw read your profile, its blank.

It relates to the OP, since he claims to know why successful women (people) struggle in relationships. Since his knowledge of human motivations seems to be lacking. I suggested he study some of the great minds that have thought on these things for generations.

My profile is blank? Must be an oversight of some sort.

Good material in the spiritual books when it comes to human understanding. Read as many as you can. Some may be hard to get through but they will increase your understanding.

Only you say successful women struggle with relationships.

Alas, child, you are wrong.

When you get your premise correct, let us know.

Aviene may have her own rebuttal, but proving you are wrong is simple. All it takes is to have one successful woman that does not struggle in her relationship. Two or more of these women would shred your argument. That is because it is a generality.

Now if you had started with "why are so many successful women struggling to have a good relationship?", it may be open to discussion. However, than the question comes up, where is the study that gives the numbers? *Such an such a poll of top level professional women claims 65% to be struggling to have good relationships.*

Therefore you would have to say in your experience successful women are struggling in relationships. Harder to disprove an observation. All people could then argue about is if whether your experience and interpretation of it is valid. I believe one poster did this when talking about some successful gals he knew in SF exhibiting relationship problems.

Thank you, Matt. You touched upon everything I would have covered.

Generalizations suck, Chris. If you haven't figured that out by now, that's your problem.
