Most smart women care more about a man's personality then looks.


What if you are lacking in looks, personality, and financial security? Am I SOL?

-No car atm
-Too busy with getting financial stability / a career to care about dating, honestly
-Feel like I want to offer a lot to whoever it is I fall in love with, and I can't do that right now

one reason why i am not a "bad catch" is because the person who originally identified me as a "bad catch" suffered from a propensity to become verbally confused, and what the person really meant to say was i was an example of a "cad batch". so i am not a "bad catch" after all. "yay"
i say "yay" when i am so tired i could not give a damn, and i just say "yay" to amuse myself because i see it as an absurd coment. YAY!!.

i imagine you are neither a "bad catch" nor a "cad batch", based on your posts here.

in australia we have "the seconds warehouse" whose advertising slogan is
"tiny dings?..."huge savings". demand is high (unfortunately) so the base price is comparable to undamaged units nowadays due to a flood of demand (from the suburban bargain hunting bastards of society)

even though you are damaged (i trust your report) , i think you will prevail to a reasonable age.

i am finished with this thread now

Because it's true. Nothing I can't fix, though.

I've found that old habits die hard, but nothing that Wellbutrin can't fix. But some habits can simply be fixed through good old fashioned working at it.

I know Wellbutrin works way better than Paxil.

I know the feeling. While I don't necessarily consider myself "damaged goods", society does seem to convince that anything less than someone's "dream guy" or "fantasy guy" is damaged goods.

Because my rats and psychopharmacology books will always come before you. ;)
Also I tend to be very clingy, which leads to becoming a bit paranoid about other people. O.O

1. No interest in breadwinning - just plain communistic sharing.
2. Unlikely to "think of partner without beng told to." - poor ability to guess partner's emotional needs, poor sense of occasion.
3. Not very proactive in everyday life. Considers taking the lead unseemly.
4. Tendency to echo partner's personality and moods, which can amplify depression and give a manic-depressive feel to the relationship.
5. Serious confidence and self-esteem issues. Can bitterly resent being pushed away, upstaged or overpowered. Easily sent back into shell by any display of uncaring or hostility.
6. Has shown a dangerous delayed reaction to being emotionally hurt - the anger may emerge months later, possibly amplified out of all proportion to the original assault. often completely blind to a new partner's faults until he can't ignore them any more.
7. Inability to "read" people can make for possessiveness or paranoia.
8. Takes hard line (possibly OCD) over partner exposing too much flesh in public, equates it to actual infidelity. If you like showing cleavage etc., this is not your man.
9. Tends to give his honest opinion when you ask him how you look or how well you've done at something.
10. 24-hour refactory time after sex.
11. Can seem very dull at times due to flattened emotions and unexpressed anxiety.
12. Doesn't seem to know whether he wants a conventional marriage or a bohemian arrangement. Feels restricted in one and insecure in the other.
13. Finds it difficult to take an interest and "make the effort" with people on a day-to-day basis.
14. Tends to select partners from the periphery of society who have social difficulties, and is very "couply." This can lead to the loss of both partners' social bases, as both find it easier to relate to each other than to others. This puts a strain on the relationship which can then fail, leaving each at square one again on the social ladder.
15. Is currently still married. Seems about to file for divorce, but will he? A new partner now could be buying into trouble.

I think my saving grace is that I know these things and can admit to them. The really bad cases are the ones who don't know their flaws and therefore can't work on them.

oh ho! This should be fun.
1. I'm fat
2. I don't sleep at normal hours
3. I claim to be Christian but I'm a sexual deviant
4. I blurt out people's secrets
5. My messiness disgusts my male roommate
6. When our microwave had to be fixed I nearly starved to death
