Exactly. You can go to any public place and have a seat and watch people and their interactions and you will see this. Mall, Starbucks, wherever.

People want to be around positive energy. We reflect what we see. If you are at a cash register, for instance, and one of you smiles, most always, the other will as well.

If you stay around negative energy, most assuredly, you will have it as well.

When this song comes on, and I am driving along in my Jeep thinking of all my troubles, sporting a frown....I can't help but smile......

I wear happy waaaaaay better than sad.

It wasn't a great day, let's just say that.
Sexual harassment, anyone?

A real man is a complex phenomenon which has always intrigued the crocodile.

He may have to study a few BBWs who also happen to be moms before attempting to define the phenomenon for the use of humanity and posterity.

I have a couple suggestions on how your day then could have gone much better

As soon as those fellas started spouting numbers, you should have responded 'hey guys maybe I'm really a TWO!' then proceeded to give their ignorant a**es the double-bird...or you could have said 'well, that's just ducky...too bad no one gave your mothers a rating!'

Leagues are bulls**t, and are for athletes to worry about...I sure as hell am not gonna sit on my duff and say 'woe is me' and not even TRY to approach a woman...if I do approach, and my approach is met with disdain, or ignored, I'm not gonna go home and curl into the fetal position in my basement and suck my thumb, and have a marathon pity-party---life is too short, and I have too damn much else to do than waste time worrying about what 'league' I'm in

I have a rather short and brutal philosophy about people's opinion of me, and it goes like this---I will walk through this world with my back straight, my head high, and act like I have a purpose and a set of goals...if you want to sit on your a** and snicker and rate me on a scale of one to ten, go right ahead...you have that kind of time to waste, and I don't...I like WHO I am, and WHAT I am, and WHERE I'm going

I am going to speak my mind, about WHAT I want, WHEN I want, and live my life according to MY goals and desires, not some chicken-s**t rating system that says I should not even move my lips to speak to someone, because she's 'not in my league'...and if you have a problem with me being me, and think I should just stay in the dark and be silent because I don't 'measure up', then, as I said in another post in another thread recently, then you can 'kiss my a** twice a day Monday thru Friday, and three times a day on weekends and holidays'

Maybe you might not agree with what I just typed, but I'll bet if more people took that approach instead waking up like james Brown in a cold sweat at three in the morning, worrying about what 'league' they're in or the 'league' that those they want to approach are in, then the world would run much more smoothly, without a lot of unnecessary drama...just sayin'

The internet is an excellent place to post pictures of yourself and get brutally honest anonymouse feedback.

Not a popular opinion, I'm sure, but if you're going to waste so much energy worrying about what people think of your looks anyway, might as well take the plunge and put yourself out there for critical review. Then you'll know and you can move on.

I'd rather not. I just don't think it's safe, so many people pictures end up in the wrong hands.

So you don't have any sort of social media account? Facebook? Twitter? You don't have any friends or family members with accounts like these that might post a picture of you on their accounts. Those sites are no safer than a random message board.

Don't do it here, there are infinitely many sites and forums where you could post a picture for public opinion. Post it via a photosharing site and then, when you've gotten all the opinions you care to read, break the link and delete the photo.

Sure, someone could have saved the photo to their computer to use for nefarious means, but the chances of that are slim and considering the amount of time you spend obsessing over how your looks affect your dating life, it's worth it just to save you some time.

I don't see how it's unsafe. We're not talking about posting naked pics. Of course, you could do that too on body rating sites. Just crop your head out of the photo.
