People will take this to be conceited behavior. I used to think this was normal behavior but now I know just how conceited I have been. I thought I was just stating facts. But average people just can't handle superior standards.
If they are average then thats their problem. They talk about wishes but never do them.

Its better then being nobody or unnoticed.

I'd rather be a nobody or unnoticed then a jackwagon that people make fun of. You're setting yourself up for failure. Why not just being a nice, honest person so that you can meet nice, honest women?

Don't let people bother you with nothing to add other than b*tching. I know a guy who writes product reviews and takes pics for net forums. Some douche bag always has something smarta$$ to say for him owning one in the first place. Some of these items are rather expensive for the less hardcore enthusiast. It's not his problem he is an informed customer and has many years experience on what works and what to buy. Guys like that are just plain a$$es! They are the conceited ones, not him. Like he says.... F*** THEM!

This guy really knows his stuff. He helps me anytime I need a question answered that is what he specializes in. Maybe it's because I don't insult him like those other guys do? Anyone who needs help or wants to ask a question, he will be glad to answer and not send you a bill in the mail for it. Now that's far from what the guys who troll his posts and threads say about him. I happen to like the guy.

I'll also say that if you look at the really amazing people, they're usually very down to earth and have an air of humility around 'em. Just look at Salvatore Giunta, who was awarded the Medal of Honor recently. It's an extraordinary honor for extraordinary people, and he's incredibly humble about it.

That's much more admirable and attractive to women than some loudmouthed braggart.

Anyone who listens as much as they speak is far from a braggart. I don't think much of people who never speak a word for fear of offending some a-hole. If you listened to all of the people you bested, you would be worth nothing and they have just as much knowledge or accomplishments. Some people just can't tell the difference. This guy told me he is about to forget the whole thing because of it. He spends his own dime trying to help and people are ungrateful fools about it. It's sad really.

Not sure why you want to be coined as conceited but anyways...Just be as selfish as you can. Don't do any favors for anyone and you can guarantee you will be alone forever.

How about the guys who do nothing but favors and never ask for any in return? I can tell the difference.

I know a wealthy widow who is extremely well off from the death of her husband. She hires a cook everyday to cook breakfast and lunch for anyone who wants to come to her home and eat. I'm sure someone who finishes eating her food and leaves says something smart.
