But it’s all about personality >.>
Even when you're used to absolutely nobody showing you even the slightest bit of interest?
i do not have complex emotions so i am incapable of feeling loneliness.
i do not care less whether any one else is interested in what i do, because what i do is governed by me and not really prone to influence.
so no.
desperation is the destination of unfulfilled desire in some manner.
i have everything i desire so i couldn't give a s**t really.
a conversation i wrote and performed with 2 computer generated voices.
the female is very quick and the male is a much older model.
anyway, here is a very unromantic conversation.

anyway, in my time, i have had many girls attracted to me.
they see that i seem to exude contendedness and a lack of stress.
they want to find out why.
They are attracted to you because they perceive you as cocky and arrogant.
lol
i have everything i desire so i couldn't give a s**t really.
So now life is all a matter of holding on to those things from those that might seek to take them away?

That might be, but I am not exaggerating when I saw 90% of women's profiles either mentioned international travel, had pictures that looked like a vacation slideshow or talked about how their passport is their most prized possession, all the countries they plan to visit, etc, etc. Some profiles were almost word for word copies of each other and no, they were not fake either.
It goes back to my point that there is usually a very good reason someone is single.
I second that. I still say half the reason there are so many snotty, arrogant, entitled women on this sites (and in real life) is that men let them get away from it. I was at the grocery store and this slight above average looking women sported a "not in your league" T-shirt. I had to resist saying "you are right! You are nowhere near MY league!" Almost as dumb as the guy who had a bunch of bumper stickers bragging about his skills with women. Right.....
Yet another sign that we live in a culture of empty narcissism. ^^
People who have never done anything good for others regard themselves as morally superior.
People who are average looking view themselves as super models.
People who are fat think they are healthy.
People who are tonedeaf sign up for x-factor.

Yes! Exactly! They waste thousands and thousands of dollars so they can take a photo of the Parthenon and post it on their social networking sites.
They expect guys to do the same thing. I don't think going on an expensive holiday or buying an expensive car is a sign of wealth. If you go on a $3,000 holiday, it just means you're $3,000 less wealthy then you were before.
That money should be properly invested, not blown on trips to Europe and Asia!
If I had $3,000 spare, I couldn't bring myself to blow it on a trip to Paris when I could put that money towards buying a house.
That way I'll eventually be able to live rent free. I'll eventually have a valuable assest. I'd rather posses a house or two than possess a memory of looking at the Parthenon or Angkor Wat.
I've seen dating profiles that say she spends all year saving and then blows it all on an elaborate holiday every year. What will she own if she does this for ten years in a row? Spending your money in this way seems very immature to me.

I'd even go as far enough to say that this is the norm for a lot of middle class families.
Some are good at budgeting but a lot punch above their weight financially.
This is why Sly gets so frustrated.
Some middle class are delusional about here they stand financially because they ignore the fact they're living payceck to paycheck and only just geting by despite a combined income from the man, his wife and two.working teenage kids of over $100,000 a year.
The think they're decent at budgeting but are living paycheck to paycheck and wondering "Where does it all go?".
And whatt do they spend their money on?
- $2,000-3,000 a fortnight on food.
- rent and bills
- $50 a month fpr a gym membership for eachfamily member, the man his wife the three kids.
- $3 coffee 6 times aday.
- Breakfast at McDonalds/Subway every.morning on the way to work.
- $8,000 TV every two years.
- $6,000-8000 spent on new Iphones, iPads, laptops, gaming consoles once every two years.
- $30 a month each for Netflix subscription, Xbox Live, PSN, Internet, Spotify, etc.
- payments for their two 50,000K cars.
- debt/loan repayments
- $6,000-8,000 yeary family holiday.
- Eating out at mid range restaurants "as a family" at least 3 times a week.
- $ 30-80 spent doing something "as a family" every Saturday.
-Bingo on Thursday nights, $30 to play each.
- Sarah's $15 a week swimming lessons, Jim's $30 a month YMCA membership.
- A pack a day of cigarettes for himself, his wife, and now his son.
- $2,000-4,000 a year on birthday/Xmas gifts.
- $2,000 a year on each party for the three kids
- $50 on Sportsbet every Friday night. $80 spent every Friday night at the pub watching the game with the boys.
- And much, much MORE.
"Where did it all go?" He asks his friend.
*Takes a sip from his sixth $4 coffee of the day, then a sip from his third $4 coke of the day. Then a bite out of his $20 meal, then a sip from his fourth beer of the night while watching the footy game he's put $80 on tonight. After he's finished his drinks finishes his $25 pack of cigarettes he gets daily. Pays his son Jimmy back the $50 he owes when he gets home.

While Mr Inferiority Complex is paying off the Mercedes parked in his drive way, the rich man has a cheap car because he knows the Mercedes would make his house a target for thieves.
So while middle class people often try to look like they've done got money, people with money often try to look like regular folk.
Their wealth is in their investments, not in their car. They don't need to impress anyone.

My wife has a friend. This friend has dropped out of university several times. She has never held a steady job. All her jobs were minimal wage more fun hobby than a real job. Yet she had no problem spending her husbands money on travels and expensive art books. After they've divorced (because of course they have divorced), she had a brief period of depression because she had no way of sustaining her lifestyle. But then she found another guy and now she's living the same life. She is about 25 or 26 now, jobless, thinks about applying for the university next autumn and travelling to nearby cities every weekend.
Is she immature or very smart and successful? What do you think? Both perhaps?

Fortune and foolish.
Everything sounds a little bit better with alliteration.

your proclamation is incorrect.
my understanding of the meaning of "cockiness" is a sense of unfounded confidence and display of ones personality traits, thinking that they are attractive.
arrogance is a type of snobbery where one feels superior to others and feels entitled to be deferred to.
so i am just aloof.
i am hard to reach.
i do not care about anything other than what i am interested in.
i will not pretend i care because everyone's time is wasted...most importantly mine.
i just want to get on with doing what i am doing, and people are not of any interest to me until after the second drink.
even then, if the conversation starts to go in a direction which i am not interested in, i will terminate it by telling them that i am sorry but i simply don't care.
i have everything i desire so i couldn't give a s**t really.
So now life is all a matter of holding on to those things from those that might seek to take them away?
no. everything is fully insured. my house, my contents and the car.
my house is in a heritage listed area, so it can never be resumed by the state for developmental purposes.
i really am stress free.

It depends on priorities. I forked out 4000 dollars for an overseas trip because it’s interesting and a great life experience. I definitely don’t think travel is a waste of money, but I think material goods are.
