Was i asleep in class that day? When did GARTER belts start holding up bellies?

LOL YES!! Yes!! Yes!!!
seriously though, I had a guy send me a pic once and he looked good! He shows up and is about 200LBS bigger than his pic and he didn't look so good in person LOL - if he had sent me a current pic, I wouldn't have agreed to see him - he wasn't my cup of tea.

There's something in my literature that definitely pertains to you, but you'll have to wait.

Seems certain women with this ailment exhibit a strong negative response to extremely handsome, highly intelligent men who like to keep purring kitty-cats on their lap.

Oh, Sifu... what a sexy name... Just got to work and will have to take a looong restroom break to cool off...

Why do I have this sense of impending doom?

Oh, Sifu... what a sexy name... Just got to work and will have to take a looong restroom break to cool off...

See? You're symptomatic already.

Maybe Sally Struthers could adopt you...

Seems there's a virulent strain of something going around - they aren't quite sure what it is yet - but they've named it

Pitt-Einstein Tremor Affliction (PETA)

Seems certain women with this ailment exhibit a strong negative response to extremely handsome, highly intelligent men who like to keep purring kitty-cats on their lap.

But don't worry - I'm sure they're working on a cure right now!

Damn, I'm not one not to keep my promises no matter how tired I am!

The Professor

These types cannot get out of the trap of analyzing and criticizing everything that crosses their path. Their minds are overdeveloped and overstimulated. Even when they talk about love or sex, it is with great thought and analysis. Having developed their minds at the expense of their bodies, many of them feel physically inferior and compensate by lording their mental superiority over others. Their conversation is often wry or ironic - you never quite know what they are saying, but you sense them looking down on you. They would like to escape their mental prisons, they would like pure physicality, without any analysis, but they cannot get there on their own. Professor types sometimes engage in relationships with other professor types, or with people they can treat as inferiors. But deep down they long to be overwhelmed by someone with physical presence - a Rake or a Siren, for instance.

Professors can make excellent victims, for underneath their intellectual strength lie gnawing insecurities. Make them feel like Don Juans or Sirens, to even the slightest degree, and they are your slaves. Many of them have a masochistic streak that will come out once you stir their dormant senses. You are offering an escape from the mind, so make it as complete as possible: if you have intellectual tendencies yourself, hide them. They will only stir your target's competitive juices and get their minds turning. Let your Professors keep their sense of mental superiority, let them judge you. You will know what they will try to hide: that you are the one in control, for you are giving them what no one else can give them - physical stimulation.

from Amazon.com: The Art of Seduction: Robert Greene: Books - highly recommend it!

OK, I'm done with my good deeds for today. Giving some insight to at least two people ought to be enough.

Thank you for your good deed, but wow, are you ever off the mark.

...except for perhaps the part about "the sense of looking down on others". I've heard that before, from people on other forums, but it just isn't true. It's just the way I write. In person, grown women and young girls alike usually swoon.

Ooookay... I still recommend the book, though. You HAVE to recognize yourself in at least one of the types, if not more than one. It's quite disturbing, but I'd venture to say you'll like it.

[SifuPhil]

I'll pick up a copy - thanks for the recommendation. Books of that type usually don't send me, or they leave me laughing breathlessly - I'll trust you're right about it.

As for typing people - I went around in circles with that for many, many years (I was a psych / metaphysics major - couldn't avoid it). I took all kinds of tests, analyzed others that took the tests, heck - even came up with my own tests. What I learned from all of that, and what I already realized from my Taoist philosophy, was that any test is just a snapshot in time - it might be valid for a little while, but then you change, hopefully in a progressive way.

Also, I learned about test design bias; how a test is structured is a direct reflection of the person that designs the test. I could make a test that convinces a person they're the King of the Sea Monkeys, and a large number of test-takers would believe it.

Look at all the silly polls, tests and "What did you..." questionnaires in places like MySpace. People love 'em. They take 'em and most just forget about them quickly. But a number of them DON'T forget; almost the same as the people that take their newspaper's daily horoscope as Gospel.

The title is a bit deceiving. I find the book quite profound and truthful at least.

I don't believe in tests much. Everybody of average intelligence can guess the results and respond accordingly... Perhaps there are more sophisticated ones I haven't come across, but the majority are like the employment tests in Wal-Mart "are you gonna steal?"...

Absolutely agree with this. We all change so much... sometimes to a point of no recognition... and often in a regressive way...

LOL, I'm sure you could...

MySpace and other similar sites are so amazingly dumb (my apologies to the many participants)... I can see them as means of keeping in touch, but these questionnaires are soooo juvenile and pathetic... That's what we used to do in junior high, for cryin' out loud! Fave actor, fave book, fave movie, fave color... Can't believe it can be of interest to anybody over 25... But, hey, we get questions here every day whether we would be interested in various races, heights, ages, etc. What do YOU care what I AM interested in. How is it gonna help YOU?

The last book I found to be like that was "Nancy the Naughty Night Nurse".

LOL - sometimes I want to apply for a job there, just so I can mess with their heads.

Naw, not regressive *as he typed in his diapers*

LOL, I'm sure you could...

BWAHAhahahahaha...

Heh, heh - like you said, I'm on there but only to keep in touch with friends that aren't anywhere else. It's primarily a place for youngsters and the advertisers that target them.

What I've started doing there is taking the bulletins I get and answering them, but in an obnoxious, humorous way.

I know, I know - you can't envision me as being obnoxious...
