My love life can make Shakespear seem like a light hearted bed time story.

My point is that being attracted to a woman (besides physical attraction) is a mysterious and emotionally trying thing.  I always spend much of my time regretting ever having an interest, knowing that it will probably result in bitter disappointment.  I haven't figured this part out yet.  I have a few friends who are in happy, successful relationships.  The best ones are when I'm friends with the guy and I get to be friends with the girl through that relationship. I guess my advice would be to start forming friendships this way... But yeah, I can sympathize.  Many guys are just plain assholes.  I have no tolerance for these people, so not many of my friends are like this.

One of the most important social topics for me, and just about my least favorite.  I always come out feeling depressed for a few days, reminiscing on past failures and other past failures... followed by more past failures.  Chalk me up as another one of the "hopeless fools" who can't bear any more rejection and think the future looks bleak... Seriously, I'm trying to find a future that makes life worth living. Listening to prog and constantly going to unsuccessful job interviews is not exactly making me happy to be alive.  And then there comes a thread like this to remind me of my loneliness and that hiding from my problems will only save me from pain for so long... I don't care if I'm being melodramatic; I'm a very senstive guy. And no, being sensitive is not an attractive emotional characteristic to females.

Nor is being nice, or smart, or empathetic.....naw, they want the blockheads that wanna screw 'em and leave. That's how the world works

kinda hard to ignore a girl that likes you if she doesn't exist....well, goodnight!

Seeing as I'm 14 and many of my age do drugs and smoke, small talk doesn't cut it.   Me: Nice top. Them: Pfft. Damn straight.     Ha so sad but oh so true    Wow. Harsh man. At least in Puerto Rico they aren't as hard as the ones where you live. Good luck with women like those.

Erm... you're very much mistaken.  I know many couples who are truly in love and have never once argued.  Yes it's a rare thing, but they UNDERSTAND each other and they love each other.  They're not overbearing and they know when the other needs space, or time to themselves.

Having said that, for one couple, the real test is about to happen, as the wife is about to drop her baby (if she hasn't already, I must find out!).  I cannot foresee any major problems though.
