The more perspectives you have available, the more informed your decisions. Dontcha think? True... but if you pick and choose who's perspective is deemed qualified enough then your decisions become selective, no? Like if someone told me something I don't wanna hear, does that automatically make them a prick that has absolutely no positive input?! They're your decisions to make. Who says you can't pick and choose who's perspectives to listen to and who's advice to take? Also, just because someone asks a question on here, it does not mean they must take all the advice offered. They should absolutely pick and choose what works best for them. I will give concrete examples as to who I listen to just listed in this thread (these are just my personal opinions): klc - while often sharp tongued and pointed in their playfulness due to IQ (high not low) will put down the sarcasm and playful banter, and give you real advice if you really need it. singmesweet - if you want a very pro-active women's lib type view, she's your woman. strong willed and independent and the master of her destiny. Ms. Harmony - the epitome of good solid American traditional core values. A rock in any storm. While she is very modern, she represents American ideals. She could not be anymore what she is if she lived in a house with a white picket fence, an apple pie cooling in a window sill and watching the kids play baseball outside while filling out an absentee voting ballot. Lex - someone who will not BS, and cut to the point in a highly intelligent manner and even though he is more than smart enough to verbally or mentally destroy people and throw them under the bus, he chooses to have more class than to be low brow like that and is positive and supportive. Thanks for the compliment. That's interesting, though, as I've never associated myself with women's lib. I'm just me. I do what works for me. |

Singmesweet - that is the intrinsic appeal of you is that you are just who you are. you are a very liberated women. you may not align yourself with any particular dogma but you are very liberated. no one is going to suppress you or shove you in a closet and hide you from the world so as to keep you only to themselves. you would never stand for that. you are a direct product of this day and age. you see opportunities in life and go for them. mind you this is just what I have observed from what you have said. I think it would benefit any tween or teenager girl in your life to have you around as a role model. Not that we don't all need many role models because it is best to see life from different sides. In a way, you are like my mother not as in a mother figure to me but she very much raised me to go out and seek what I want and that marriage and babies were not the be all to end all of the universe. As a teenager, she encouraged me to "go to college and study what I wanted to, get the job I wanted, buy the car I wanted, get my own place to live, and achieve as much as I wanted before even considering settling down and then if someone did propose to think it over nine million times and not marry someone for security but because in addition to being a lover that they were a good companion and as for having children, she pointed out that for the majority of their youth with children that you give and they aren't really capable of giving back until they are much older and then you just are on luck as to whether you end up with a child who is capable and caring that children are not an insurance policy on taking care of you in your old age". My mother says if you want security, diversify your stock portfolio and buy elder care insurance and such. Of course, she does not believe in bed hopping either and says there is a very good reason web sites like www.adameve.com exist. I was a very high achiever at a very very young age because of this. |
