yeah, i read that book probably about 10 years ago. i don't remember much about it now, even though i read it several times over...i do remember that that it did have a significant influence on me when i read it. no doubt it continues to, in subtle ways i can't point to specifically. i'm quite sure i've integrated into my consciousness the tenets of that book and a couple others i read during that period in my life...not so coincidentally i was involved in a most....disastrously unhealthy and unhappy relationship at the time.

i do credit many of the books i've read for helping to dramatically shift my perspective in many areas of my life, yes. i might just dig that book out again, now that you've mentioned it. no doubt i would find it interesting to read it from my current perspective, and find much value in it once again.

Awesome! Oh it would only very likely affirm your beliefs. I don't even think you could read it all, but would only very likely flip through it as you are already "there" and very likely have transcended in other areas. Ironically I read the book after leaving a relationship that turned out disastrous. I only read the book about 3 months ago. Hands down one of the most powerful books I have ever read in my life. I enjoy your posts, I really do.

Nehoo, sorry ya'll for derailing the thread ...

I don't know if I'd call myself off the market. At the moment I have a nice girl, she has a good sense of humor and I want to f her on sight a good deal of the time. She definitely fits my requirements but I know that this arrangement is just temporary, she's a foreign citizen and I'm never really in one place myself.

I've never really had that many serious relationships here in the states, people have always asked me why haven't I thought about marriage or children etc. I don't have any desire to be chained down or running after any crumb crunchers.

there's some people on here that have had zero success at all, yet they continue to think 'one day, one day...' I don't get it, but if that's a person's mindset, then so be it. Then there's the other half who have had zero success but instead they decide to see it for what it is and call it a day. I'd be in the latter category. I never 'got' the concept of being 'checked out,' anyways, when I go places it never occurs to me at all to even bother looking for those sorts of things. Oh well.
