well continuing with my in a happy mood feeling and I was in a happy mood until looking at someones pictures here in ny ( who I have never even talked with wondering if maybe I knew them) and suddenly although I'm normally a very confident person (mostly because I don't give a crap enough to care what people think) but suddenly I found myself wondering how can I hope to be with someone like that. Women in NY get honded by guys with ungodly amounts of money, fame, and power. Sure they say they only care about a great personality but you have get past all the other stuff first for them to get to know you. I'm a better then average guy who likes the indoors, arts, and outdoors sports, and activities as much anything. I'm not into watching sports on tv so no fighting to get me away from sunday football or any other tv sport to go do something. I even love kids and animals. My ex-gf has 2 super cute kids I jokingly say I want to take them with me to things because they are more fun then she is... she doesn't laugh as much as I do for some reason. 555 I was afterall raised by lesbians so was not only thought what a woman "wants" since every woman wants something a little different but what they do to get it also. It all seems like it's useless though here in NY because it seems like being a pretnetious self centered jerk really is how you get a girl in this city because there are soooo many people it's the only way to get noticed. lol  Well I will just stick with making friends and maybe become a christian monk they can still drink and eat meat.... right? lol

" It all seems like it's useless though here in NY because it seems like being a pretnetious self centered jerk really is how you get a girl"

Thats basically all of Canada and the USA from my traveling experiences... girls like the loud rude guys that later blacken both their eyes.... not sure why.

move south paul...that part of the country sucks big time....am still wearing shorts and t--shirts in houston..555

Paul, it is not just in NY, it's the whole damn USA........We are all spoiled and take many things for granted here, being born in the USA.......it is very different in other less fortunate countries, like in Thailand......the people struggle there to live day by day, nothing is taken for granted.......to many there, it's survival.....live, work, or die...........not like in the states, lazy people depending on the goverment for aid......and everything is a material thing, otherwise, no one wants to even look at you! Very difficult to really find a true love, with these obstacles in front of everyone.......inm Thailand, other parts of Asia, there are still some that just want a person to love you for your person, not what you have in your bank account , or what type of car you drive, or how big your house is.........

I agree with afook06! Good day!

The problem in the USA............when I was on one of my visits in Thailand, I think it was in Chiang Mai........I noticed this young boy, maybe about 10-11, he was just sitting on the sidewalk, bare footed....(no shoes)? I looked at his feet, dirty and toughen from walking without anything on the bottom of his feet.......next door, was one of those vendors that sell everything, cheap clothes, etc....I told the vendor that I wanted to buy the kid a cheap pair of those sandal, you know, the plastic/rubber ones that they all sell in Chinatown here and everywhere......it was maybe 100 baht? I told the vendor to give it to the boy, and make sure the size was okay, otherwise change it to a different size for the kid......the kid put his hands together and bowed to me with a big smile.........it was so good to see that, appreciation........

In the USA, a grammar school kid will have a fit, if he doesn't get those $150-200 pair of "Nike's" just because all of his classmates have em.........this is the difference!
