In any case, good luck with everything, sincerily.

Women can be nice creatures and sensitive too, and surely will like to find a guy thats kind and sensitive and nice, honestly, the exterior doesnt matter so much. I know i did. I did find a guy who other women were stupid enough to let go. I wasnt. Thats why i ve been "lucky": in reality i wasnt lucky, i just was wise enough to see a good man and recognize him and let him love me.
No you got the right person but I did NOT say you were unattractive, I don't even know you or what you look like. I was saying screaming misogyny at every post was the mark of a super sensitive person which is not attractive to people to make them take you seriously. Here is exactly what I said.

Quote:
I think you should ask yourself the same question in your last sentence. You seem super sensitive, that is never attractive to anyone.
And where I clarified it:

Quote:
Attractive in terms of people being able to stand being around you. People will not put up with someone who complains at every turn.

Since I started college, A LOT of people took to me VERY quickly and I have made tons of friends. Being a "nerd" is definitely considered "cool" now...especially by the black guys I have met lol. It's honestly kind of funny, it's like the tables turned.
I purposely avoided those terms "Oreo" and the like to not be offensive. For what it's worth, I wished I had half the brains as you when I was your age. I didn't wise up to my later 20's.....

Just keep on keeping on and you'll do well in life.

It's not a man or woman thing. It's a people thing. Some people can't take responsibility for their own actions and have to blame others.

It's a matter of making it a priority. Does your workplace have an EAP? You work in finance so couldn't you find a way to fit it into your budget? You are aware of it all which is half the battle, so why don't you want to change badly enough to do something about it?

I just saw a quote on a Facebook, not attributed to anyone:

Sometimes what you're most afraid of doing is the very thing that will set you free.

A woman with healthy instincts is not going to want to be involved with a man who if full of anger and hasn't learned to let go of hurt.

I'm thinking she would be also be freaked out by the fact that you think it is OK to lash out at people who have nothing to do with any suffering you might be going through.

I didn't say a thing about it being okay, I just do it subconsciously. I want to find a way to not do that.
