In other words, you are complaining that there are way too many people in the world just like yourself. You can't stand it.

Well, that's a valid complaint, I can't fault you for that. I would hate to live in a world full of people like myself, too. All those smart-alecy logical thinker types would drive me up the freaking walls.

Shallow is just what we call it when we don't like the response, in reality it isn't shallow at all, really...It is just a different set of standards.

Sure, I've ran into it...But such is diversity.

People are in survival mode. No jobs, less cash, no chance to move up. The rope is very tight hang in there bro This will pass

Please don't say 'rope' and 'hang' in there in the same sentence. I was speed reading and I nearly crashed.

Yeah. It's better to hear, for a man, "The rope is tight and very well hung."

My preference would have been, "the rope is tight and heavily greased -- the more you climb, the more you slide back to the spot you started from."

Eh.....I prefer the deep end of the cement pond....

I'm adventurous that way!!!

I am glad to hear that as my generation is definitely shallow.

How tall are you, BoomBoomSplashSplashGurl? I'm shallow at 5'4" coz I am a man, but would be average (but incredibly fat) if I were a woman.

Such is life. Competition is pretty shallow.

That's the point. Rise above being shallow and suddenly your in a small group of geniune, real, caring, interconnected people. Yes the shallow masses call those people names. Hence the term shallow.

Shallow people say things like 'you think your better than me!' First that is them expressing their feelings of being inferior. My responce? I like to say it this way. No I am not better than you. But I sure I the heck am working harder to become better than I am.

Don't ever ever ever let someone else make you feel inferior. Ever. Ever ever. Never. But the minute you feel superior, you just became them.

Ok no more mingling when I am tired. My appologies.

Why see it as shallow in the first place? What does it accomplish?

Just different opinions on the same situation, you react differently than other people, I react differently than other people...Sure, weak their excuse may be, but who am I to judge it?

I am 5'8" and the way I look would be considered fat.

I know exactly how you feel...i felt the same way when i was hit up by a testosterone charged guy coming across in msg's as if he was all that and a bag of salt 'n' vinegars when he was up in my face thinking i was gagging for his 'cyber luuurrve'...i mean really!!...did he think i was about to hang off his every word and show my gratitude just because he has a pair of onions dangling betwixt his legs??

Maybe if they got a feel for what the chick is like before they start laying their game on them...things may turn out differently

Just a thought....

Are you pre-judgemental as you meet people?
People might give you the wrong perception, but knowing someone is the best policy "its says a lot" and that you care.

Its a small group because being "bad" is fun. Plain and simple. If the world were complacent all the time how boring would that be? Always doing the right thing, saying all the right things...Nature is flawed, so therefore, humans carry the same if not more flaws because we have free will. Too much free will is what I call a shallow lifestyle. Many don't like seeing this yet they know someone or they are friends with a person who thinks this way. Its the current accepted behavior into the mind of society.

Its OK to have confidence in yourself but TOO much (projecting an aura of omnipotence for example) is what I consider generic. You can feel positive in your outlook, it only straddles a line when you believe people should follow, be exactly like you. We want the same things in life but we are also unique. Its a double-edged sword.
