Yaris?

OK, Charles, that's way more than I *ever* wanted to know about you!

Natalie

I checked the speedometer against one of those signs they put out saying "Your speed is..." It was within 1 mph.

I also had it 'officially' checked once. "You were doing 65 in a 50, but since the car is new to you, please take it easy until your used to the car!"

The hair on my legs wasn't even dark enough to see until I was near 30. I'm pretty nearly a hairless wonder from the neck down. I've got a little more hair since they shaved my chest and other things for the bypass, but still not a whole lot. Why do you think decent women are not interested in me? I'm not manly enough. So I have given up.

It's still only 67 today.

10 degrees cooler, and I'd be happy.

Natalie

I'll think "Wickeddoll" may agree. The next time you meet a woman in whom you are interested, try doing what I did. Lick your eyebrows ;)

Maybe you can do a halp jon kerry to get us out of chicago.

That didn't even work on the short bus when I was going to school. I was 'friends' with all the cheerleaders in high school, because they had evaluated that I, like the planet Earth in the Hitchhiker's Guide, was mostly harmless.

Thai's odd I never met a woman that did NOT look, smile and ask my name whenever I looked at them and licked MY eyebrows LOL

Don't knock the surrogate siblings! I had plenty of close platonic male friends when I was a teenager (I still do, as a matter of fact). Sometimes we females need to talk to a guy who isn't our significant other. We need the male point of view from a guy we can trust (which is what I think is the reason straight women love the company of gay men in particular; no pressure - and they're funny as hell!) I think my teen years would have been *way* more difficult without my "brothers." I have biological brothers, but it's not the same.

Conversely, guys have always told me I'm easy to talk to, when they want a female point of view. They know I'll at least *try* to listen to them without any preconceived notions.

Any relationship can be very meaningful, with or *without* romance.

Natalie

I have a lot of female friends, unfortunately all of them are married. Even the cheerleaders from high school got married to someone else. At 50, I'm permanently alone and giving up on life. I've been trying for most of the last 40 years to change that, and it's useless. There is no change for me. Why do people think that if I can't effect change in the last 40 or so years, that automagically I'm going to be able to change things in the next

10? The only changes I've seen in the last 40 years are steadily worsening changes. Nothing for the better. I don't even have a 'happy place' to go to when the dentist gasses me anymore.

If you're convinced, then that'll be completely true. Nobody can change your life for you.

Natalie

For 50 years I was convinced things were bad, but I could change them. But nothing changed for the better.

I've finally realized I've just been kidding myself all these years. I call it reality setting in. I don't know what you're calling it.

Intractable, severe depression.

Natalie

Then I've been 'severely depressed' most of the time since I was 6, which is pretty much as far back as I remember. Supposedly they had me on anti-depressants in first grade, which why I don't remember before that. They didn't work.

Sounds like you're basing your happiness on what other people think. That is a recepie for failure. I could give a god damn what other people think.

At 27, I was stuck in a dead end situation in NE pennsylvaia (cold winters). I was turned down for the PA state police in spite of the fact I was on the top of the list phisically and intellectually. Politics over rode all of that.

In spite of being divorced and having children in NEPA, I decided to move to Florida to see what opportunites I could find. I ended up starting my own business (20 years old now) and buying a summer home in northeast Pa...

Over those 20 years I traded one hot sexy 18-23 Y.O. in for another when I got bored with them. Now I've reached the point where I want more than sex with a female who has a bad attitude and a hot body..

I know there are good, subserviant AND sexy females in the world. And the US is just a small place in that world.. I plan on going to SE asia or Russia to find my soul mate once I am ready to settle down..

I'm 50 ...I figure another 5 years.

Being a lap dog for feminazi, skakified spoiled american females is a waste of time and akin to self flogging. Have you been trained by your mom or sisters to hate yourself and your maleness??

Your on line talking to a bitch who is married and always on the internet taking to men. Would you want your wife to be that way..? Why are you encouraging behaviour you would not look or respect in a partner.??

I'm just sayin'...

And you never figured there are not only other meds, but much better ones? Trust me, there are. Depression is a chemical disease, and very treatable. That's why I keep trying to get you to accept it, but you don't want to.

Natalie

Not to mention how the meds (in all areas, not just antidepressants, obviously) have changed since Charles was 6 years old!

Translation- 'I've been trained by society to determine my value based on what females think of me. I'm giving up on life because I don't have a female to valadate me. It matters more what females think of me than what I think of myself.I cannot find happiness in myself..'

I guess that's one approach, trying to get females to feel sorry for you... How's that worked out for you so far..?

Quit judging your insides by other people's outsides. Do you know that

25 % of the population admits they have NO ONE they can confide in??

Do you really believe all those cheerleaders are happily married? You should thank your maker you don't have to support their shoe habit or listen to them bitch (or snore) everyday..

Wikked breathe's husband hates her so much she has to come to this DB to get someone to pay attention to her... What do you think a female who is on line as much as she is looks like..? If you knew, you probably wouldn't spill you guts to her.

Taking drugs as these females are suggesting is NOT the answer.

CP

The only thing I have to say here is that politics has nothing to do with any of this. Sheesh. Tomes
