No wonder women don't want you, when you come off being such a hater they can tell and that doesn't translate to anything positive in their minds. They like motivated outgoing guys, and you cannot be that type of guy, at least not in the aspects that they are attracted to, without being confident.
It's all really simple but I see so many of you talking about "love", news flash, it doesn't exist. Attraction exists. "Love" is a form of psychological dependance. It's something that desperate people use to latch onto another human being. Ever notice how desperate people lacking confidence are always quick to fall in love should the occasion arise? Ever wonder why women are so turned off when you fall so hard so fast? It's scary, it's not love, it's psychotic.

Ha ha ha...the man who finds love is "blessed". I don't think so pal. Humans are not monogamous, we love adventure and new experiences. Fairy tale style happily ever after soul mate mumbo jumbo is basically a lie, or at least nearly impossible of ever finding.
Trying to possesses another human being, which is really what love is all about, is heinous. People will use the word love to their relationship more serious, to take it to the next level. It's really all fear based.
Married people, in general, unless they are newlyweds, are miserable....that's a plain and simple fact.

I find people that say "confidence is everything" to be quite superficial. To any genuine relationship worthy person, confidence should not even be a factor. What really matters is personality, character, and views on life. And of course physical appearance.
If you know people that reject other people because they are not confident, be assured they obviously didn't care about you in the first place. If you care about confidence, you really only care about who other people will see you around with.
"Confidence"... Such a pointless quality when it comes to LOVE.
Confidence has nothing to do with the ability to love something or someone.

Wrong if you have no confidence in yourself your personality, character and views on life are well, going to pretty much suck. Physical attractiveness will only get you so far before all your other shortcomings start coming into play. Face it if you are not confident in who you are, no one else is going to want to be with you. There is a reason pity parties are a solitary affair.

yeah right, exactly what I'd expect a married person to say in a public forum. Everyone knows married people are miserable, this is no secret, stop playing games. Grow up.
Love to many people is an emotional investment in another person. If you don't understand that it's fine, but not everyone feels the same way about the concept of love.
Arguably genitalia isn't that far different from partner to partner, so for many people having multiple partners all the time is useless.

Clearly you don't understand love between two partners.
Calling someone a liar and telling them to grow up because they understand a concept you have t yet experienced, is both juvenile and egotistical.
reply to post by liquidsmoke206
I call em as I see them, and given the content of the posts I've seen in much of this thread, I have every right to be egotistical. I've experienced your concept from many points of view, I've analyzed it. Your concept of love is stifling to the individual spirit.
As usual I make perfect sense, everyone else is making politically correct statements, but since I sound insensitive, and jaded, etc etc , well then I MUST be wrong. No, just because you don't like what I'm saying doesn't make it false. Everything I say is spot on. That's just something you'll have to deal with.
