Thanks for the CV. It speaks volumes. This guy is a professional college student who accumulates degrees so he can speak to other professional students about the way things oughta be but ain't. Fortunately, most people like this exist in an echo chamber far out of earshot from common people working and living in the real world beyond academia.
Being a gentleman - or a lady - is a social construct. If there is no man or woman underneath it's a useless exercise in posturing and pretense. There are a lot of empty lives dedicated solely to that.
That's the clearest point yet.
I've never met a woman I liked where I didn't say something to get her attention and go on to get her interest and talk and do whatever we went on to do in the future. I like to do fun things with who I am with other than the obvious.
I'll bet you never met a man that didn't do it like me. You want fun also. It's so simple and basic.
Wimps and wussies aren't fun for other men to be with either. Boring, uninteresting conversation. We can appear that way when we are thinking about something completely irrelevent or have a problem that needs repair; in that circumstance, we aren't picking you up. That's the ONLY time men will stop to ask for directions:)
Men being men is a bad deal Guys should evolve beyond masculinityLet's see...Men, be Men. Just give up being Masculine. Yea, that'd work. Gimme a brake!
Much to our amusement.
Wow
Huh?? I am thinking of 5 letter word that would better describe his state of being.
