Some people manage to get under someone's wing, some people do illegal things, some people are good at making money. The mere fact that they are good at it doesn't meant that they are "mentally superior". Is this an American way of thinking?

don't know if it is specifically American but it is THIS American's way of thinking, for better or worse- if somebody is better at maths than I am, I must conclude that the maths functioning of his/her brain is superior to mine, hence s/he is mentally superior in that respect, to me.

If someone is better at maths it means that he's better at maths, not that he's mentally superior.

all I know is what it says in "Desiderata" -
"If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself."

Yeah, for each thing there can be only 1 on six billions who is the best.

I honestly doubt that being better or the best is a feasible goal for anyone else. I am far from perfect. I am tall (6 foot 4), but overweight; hardly a perfect image. Attempting to be the best, only instigates a negative and depressive self perception. That is why it is neccesary to follow modest; albeit, feasible goals.

it doesn't matter so much if you're tall or short, so long as you take good care of yourself whatever the height. I see short guys with women [and other men] all the time. they must have some magic social sauce that I lack. :|

very few can be the best at anything, but many can be as good as they can be, that includes you and me. :) it involves finding a passion in life and pursuing it. if somebody else comes along so much the better but having a passion is the most important thing to start with.

What he means is that since perfection is impossible, it is better to simply aim to do as well as you possibly can.

Sorry to hear about your experience. That one girl who ignored you doesn't seem likable if she went as far as ignoring you and treating you poorly only because she didn't return the same feelings. Good thing not all women are like her. There are a lot of nice women out there. Finding love is a risk. You do not have to fall in love or find a partner. But if you do want to find it, then you have to let your guard down and keep searching.

Just got rejected by a girl again today. :(

Same story, "I just don't see you romantically, so can we cancel our date?"

I asked what I had done wrong, and I got the whole spiel about how there is bound to be someone out there for me I should just keep on trying, and how there is nothing wrong with me and I did nothing wrong, but I was just not for her.

Women in real life say I'm not for them, women on online dating sites don't answer my messages and those sites just want more money every time I want to send someone a message, they don't respond to "personals" ads in the paper or on the internet, so I really just don't know anymore.

I can't believe how the world can say that women seek love and affection, a man to love and hold, when this is clearly not the case.

It's all sex with hot guys, fun times and money to spend on expensive presents, nothing more. And seeing as I can't really provide any of those, I'm pretty much screwed.

I've given up.

Didn't you say that you used to sleep with many women not long ago?
