i wondered because i do too. people would notice sometimes (like i can't hold hands with someone for long without my fingers twitching). my doctor prescribed tranquilisers for something unrelated (sleep issue), and when i take them... for the first time i'm not twitching at all. it was like a huge relief. sometimes... it even feels like my brain twitches, if that makes sense. i'd like to know how to stop this without meds.

Mine can be a single muscle twitching over and over for several seconds, or and entire limb twitching. Happens most when i want to keep a limb still (MRI any one).
I don't really, except when I'm driving. Only way i can is to tense up a muscle group i don't want to twitch.

Obese
Unattractive
Too poor to afford a decent place(somewhere where I will not get robbed or mugged weekly and there are no shootings and murders daily) despite working 50 hours a week.
Cynical and Bitter
Lack of Knowledge about what most people I hear discuss on a daily basis.
Inattentive and Unromantic
Do not want cohabiting, marriage, or children.
Do not want to put forth the effort in actually meeting someone because I am lazy and she probably will not like me anyway unless she is needy and desperate.

Sure I can fix some of these, but even though every now and then it seems like it would be nice to have a lady, the effort and time that the women I know personally want on average is just too much. Especially being I'm comfortable alone.

Not complaining though. As long as I have internet forums I'm ok.

Girls like sullen guys. It's probably not as bad as you think.

1. I'm bossy and very much like to have things my way
2. Your friends and family will not like me
3. I am not romantic at all
4. I don't like to talk about the relationship or feelings
5. I will make you do all the driving
6. I will try hard to show interest in your hobbies but will never really care
7. I will refuse to display any affection in public
8. If something terrible happens to you, I will try to be supportive but will probably just end up cleaning obsessively

On the upside, we'll probably laugh a lot and have fun hanging out.

When I see the things I can't help wondering: What would happen if you met someone else of your sexual preference who would write exactly the same list? It seems to me like it would be magical - all your weaknesses would become strengths because your partner would love you for them... :)

Not really, because much of what I've said about myself, I don't like in other people, which how I know they won't like me. :?

Well I don't like those things in other people either - I'm talking about making an exception for someone very special.

If I met a romantically-available woman who never smiled I would probably need to be physically restrained... :wink:

Probably the biggest issue is poor social skills, and the fact that I'm unattractive.
