Like I said, there are exceptions to every rule. Besies, similar doesnt mean exactly the same you know :lol: However, I personally seem to attract people who are similar to me in Certain particular ways.
I have only had 2 actual "relationships".
A LTR 8 years ago and a short-term, 2 week one back in Febuary '05. The 2nd one ended in part because she would not be exclusive to me. That same year I met another girl on the net who pretty much wanted to fuck me and that was it; she lived 1,100 miles away and was in town briefly visiting her big sister. Unfortunately for me, all the people I encounter face to face just wanna flirt-which Im certainly Not the least bit interested in. *Sigh*

The cynic in me wants to say that you're suffering from a classic case of the-grass-is-always-greener-on-the-other-side-of-the-fence syndrome. But I feel the same way. Moreover- Ive come to the conclusion that happiness is not getting what you want, its wanting what you get.
But honestly, since you're employed you certainly
do have something to offer. I think online dating is a GREAT idea for a person like yourself adversarial. So if you can get past the stigma, give it a go
I don't know how many times I need to say it but "human nature" does not exist and the fact that one society can differ so enormously from another is proof of that. You might think the fact that women can get pregnant is justification for their subordinate position in our society but I do not.
Your asserting the lack of existance of human nature proves nothing. But then again you will cling to your naive, idealistic, and entirely inaccurate and wilfully ignorant worldview. This is the funny thing about people: they are amazingly predictable. Science has debunked the myth that humans are fundamentally different that animals and that we have no hardwired instincts/drives.
Your vision of a better world was realized some 40 years ago and has yet to materialize into reality cuz in fact its nothing more than a pipe dream. Not unlike the peace movement to abolish war which has completely and utterly failed. When you one day are forced to pull your head out of your ass you'll be confronted by the cold hard truth that people dont change.
Oh sure, I know what you're thinking: you may say that Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one.....
:LOL
BTW,FYI, I certainly have educated myself about Neuroscience as well as ethology. Because the scientific evidence clearly shows that BRAINS MAKE MINDS. You obviously are an anti-rationalist in your absurd belief that human behaviour and the human mind are beyond the scope of science.
as far as I know my wee cat Daisy doesn't ask herself complex moral questions about right and wrong before she catches a mouse. Animals I'm afraid are incapable of thinking in such a way and that is one of the most important things which distinguishes humans from other species'.
Once again, you are making an assumption about your cat Daisy that you have No way of actually verifying! You cannot truly "know" for sure whats going on in her brain unless you could decipher her neural code. Now speaking of moral concepts, our society teaches people that killing each other is wrong yet people still continue to do it!
Many killers have admitted that the reason why they did it is because they felt the impulse to do it and there was nothing immediate to stop them from doing it at the moment.

So StuartM, since you dont believe in g-d why dont you explain your understanding of
How this fundamental difference between humans an animals came into being. Are you some sort of crackpot creationist too?
Max babbled:
The difference between animals and humans is that animals are too stupid to change their names in a way that would actually fool anybody. And then they would lie about it. Then, having lied, they would go around the forum denouncing people for dishonesty.
I'm sorry, did I say animals?
I meant vegetables.
Wow, I guess you are too stupid to understand that there's a difference between cognitive intelligence and social intelligence; the former of which you seriously lack. Ahhhh, I just love fags 
I wonder why it is that friends, family, and many of my teachers have told me how brilliant I am..............I guess Im not so "stupid" afterall
Well, all of those posibilities are
WRONG. I know
you would be Much happier if I werent bright, but, too bad
. Now, here you are, an NT
adult spewing sarcastic insults and catty put-downs on a forum for people who are socially handicapped?? Your profound insecurity and pretense bely that you are really hiding something......If you were so successful and smart among the world of NTs you wouldnt be doing what you're doing a place like this. You have the mental faculties and emotional maturity of a
Teenage Girl! Adult NTs who play zero-sum games always seem to turn out to be incompetant losers; go figure.
Max is a total coward.He's way to scared to answer PMs since he's aware of his own ignorance so he posts catty insults on this forum.
Sorta. I guess Max is desperate to get my attention huh.
Well Max, you're really not all that bright. So such a conclusion from you is to be expected.
Well Mahler5, Max's statement about my intelligence is equally untrue. He's been desperately trying for days to provoke me. Undoubtedly though you grossly overestimate that guy because you happen to respect him; I howerver do Not.
There are several possibilities.
1) They were all in on a big joke to see if you would believe it
2) They felt sorry for you
3) You've had an extraordinarily consistent run of very stupid friends, family and teachers.
I don't know. There are other possibilities.
I understand that you would be a happier person if I were stupid.
I'm sorry I can't help you.
This statement is both logically and factually FALSE. If you're really as smart as you think, then you know that.
Ditto for the rest of you.
Thanks
