I am realizing how much attention those who berate others with their superiority complex are really after. The point being, I am not above the circumstance of my willingness to live. As the teacher, going about your business on top of the heap when the heap has dwindled to the sincerity of the livelihood of the beast is just honing of your own making. The difference is this beast is fully inclined and working through the fabric of wisdom. So, get off my back unless you have something of self worth to contribute.

Post I put in "Things that make you say WTF?!?"
It is funny how all this gibberish is punctuated by opinions on how people look. I live near a once strongly gay community and I know what haters are all into. It is the clairvoyance of the victim I don't understand. Why paint yourself a target by being dishonest through makeup or sexual identity? I have answers, but the question is meant for introspect.

From another post "Who should front the bill on a date?"
Understood, and a good point of it, I say that with adversity there is compassion. The matter of same sex dating is again equitable and in face takes out the notion of propriety all-together. Another forum I am engaged in is fraught with traditionalism while at the same time dealing with dynamism. My point there was, we need to excuse expectation to afford equality. See it is not convention it is a state of mind. We set up the relationships we afford ourselves, if it is old-fashioned then we can expect old-fashioned tendencies.

stringing big words together doesn't make you smarter
Your right, stinging big words together won't make you smarter, if I said everything I was thinking I would revolutionize your way of thinking, I am only out to provoke a specific response in a potential partners. These are part of a much greater dialogue that goes into a kind of Socratic Method. Don't think there are not women out there with the requisite intellect to stimulate me into the right dialogue. The trick is setting out enough information here or elsewhere where I might come across this potential mate, you can't put a brand on me for doing the same thing you are doing, or are intended to by being here.
As for the primitive notion of being most intelligent, that is for the birds. I am a rouge scholar. I have studied and practiced in a great deal of disciplines. Early on was a host of things in regard to psychology and by experience and study a great deal of deviant behavior. Much of the sort I have only commented in opinion on here. For the nature of what I am talking about I offer up a reference by M. Scott Peck, "People of the Lie." Take the title for what it is worth to you as you consider the responses in this thread, but my observation is the majority of you want to become independent and self respecting and then step in line with the status quo.
For those conscientious objectors, they moved on to alternate threads or abstained respectively, or intended to abstain but lost the opportunity when they started riffling off at the mouth and lost the privilege. The privilege would have been to step all over those who at least maintained the integrity to contribute however tiny their contribution may have been. This is counter productive to the intent of making intellect a part of this discussion. This is one of the reasons I appreciate the little things and I definitely don't sweat the small stuff, especially in this case, knowing that banning someone who defies civility is in the groups best interest. Read the information that comes up next time you individuate yourself from the pack buy not letting some specific behavior demean your character. The rules would be in place for a reason by you if you choose to understand I have another good book by the same author for that, if you are interested.

stringing lots of words together doesn't make you smarter either.
Rogue or rouge? or rhodes?
Lighten up dude, it's date hookup. I save my long winded intellectual conversations for my actual dates. No, actually I don't do that either.
^^^^ I agree... to much talk = no sexlet the women share...than you can find out what makes them tick ...trust me I can be a chatty Kathy myself but when a woman opens up to you than trust is being formed between the twomy two cents

Scholar, education... Don't mean squat! Wisdom is everything. The ability to use that wisdom to advance yourself as a human being and in society, priceless! So is the ability to communicate with people of all walks of life.

Interesting point, I am doing very well at communicating with everyone at every level. That is not the problem. Frankly, getting the sex is not the problem. I am interested in people with similar interests, even it that means people that are not scholars, still not a problem. It is the liars and posers, if you don't want to be intellectual, then just like the people who say things that reduce their manners to nothing, what are you in here for. The problem is when we go back to the root of the matter, people are expected to behave a certain way in society, under different circumstances. Yes, like spell right, or whatever, as I am practiced in architecture, we don't generally care too much about that, I am the exception, generally speaking. As a for instance, you take the easy road out of an intellectual discussion, it is still rude, or could be.
Stop picking people apart is what you are implying and at the same time doing to others. I intend not to be hypocritical and so here we are talking it out. You are listening and I am non-the-wiser for what I say here, so take it for what it is worth. What makes me wise is I have done the research in love, this is what it takes and avoiding love is a waste of your time. Watch "I.Q."

While it is sad that I have to break into a more compassionate point over a Wal-Mart reference, I suppose it makes sense. My favorite contemporary artist wrote an obscure song about intimate encounters and the say we see each other physically. Like the esthetic of a rummage sale, the appeal of such gimmickry lures us into the depths of tolerance as it is seen by the unsuspecting beast that takes in a rabid lover and tames them with desire. The song speaks of the will to engage their lover at face value and for all they usually conceal by turning on a blue light during romance. The fact that we need to lure our desires from the abundance of clothed flesh is a sign that we are overburdened in our ability to reproduce and that the capability of or jealousy far surpasses our ability for self-control and deliberate refrain from domestic violence. Discovering someone in the dark is an intimate joy that once wears off brings us to being with a partner of equal bearing in an otherwise dysfunctional society. This is an adult perspective but with the onset of adult child syndrome, it drives our culture and potentially our ills.

Many people think that they sound smarter when they use big words. The truth of the matter is that smart communicators use words that (a) they understand and (b) their readers are likely to understand.
The purpose of writing is to communicate. Communication is the process by which meaning is created and exchanged. If the person who reads your writing doesn’t understand what you are trying to say, no communication occurs when he or she reads your writing.
In order to communicate effectively, you have to use language properly, and you have to use language that people are likely to understand.
Lately I have noticed many people misusing the word “detrimental” when what they really mean is “instrumental” or “important.” For example, I read a memo that someone wrote requesting permission to attend a meeting. The memo said, “It is detrimental that I go to the meeting next week.”
Ironically, the misuse of the word implies the exact opposite of what the person meant. Detrimental implies that some negative outcome would be associated with the person’s attendance at the meeting. What the writer meant was “important.”
A misused big word has the opposite effect of making you sound smart! A big word used correctly, but unnecessarily, has the effect of making you sound pedantic. If you have to go get a dictionary to see what “pedantic” means, I have made my point!

You have to know your audience, here it can be assumed that could be anyone. I think no one is suggesting I cater only to a 5th or 7th grade level, if that is not being too generous. I prefer that my audience in here have at least a 7th grade mentality. I would date a high school grad. and have run into a few that are pretty smart. The goal is to have someone I can communicate with and not have to recite definitions to. I have helped people in their masters and generated work for Doctors, but catching up the illiterate can be a daunting task.

A few? Einstein never finished high school. You're no Einstein. I'd be a little more careful with your words if I were you. Do they teach you how to keep your foot out of your mouth in college? Apparently not. That's learned in life. Respect comes in more ways than just intelligence and education. A bought piece of paper doesn't make one wise, nor does it make one liked, respected, cared about, or remembered.

Lose is part of the fickel hand of fate, it is hard to sit back and let go as we find joy in the new oppertunities we are faced with. Saw that on my date Thurs. she did not know where the guilt was coming from, the fact she is a survivor. Key is realizing the lose and then realizing the oppertunities. Not all at once, this is where guilt creeps in, for some more then others. [/quote. Opportunities not oppertunities.

Actually Einstein was troubled looking for a Theory of Everything. The hang-up was that he could not resolve the trend of Quantum Theorists based on non-Euclidean mathematicians and his own assertions. I have managed that with an Euclidean framework and new spin characteristics that address the Gaussian thresholds relative to all four known forces. The trick is to omit time, which excuses all manifold dynamics and eliminates expansion along with the paradox of Euclidean Geometry. So you can say I have built on his theory.
