    But often, the more intelligent people are the more unhappy ones. Perhaps they have a more comprehensive view of things- or over-complicate the challenge of life, and overwhelm their own ability to cope.

    The environment and role models of childhood are certainly a key influence in personality and values- however, regardless of the hand you are dealt in life, your destiny is actually in your own hands and the way you play it. Did some work for a specialty surgeon many years back, and they had only adopted children- six of them. I was teaching lifeskills at the time, and she asked me which I though made kids what they were- nature or nurture. I answered- Both. Nature deals you a hand, nurture models it- but in the end it is your decisions using both factors that decide who you will be. Either or both of those elements can be poor and the person become exceptional- and they can both be good, and the person become a self-made failure. Good parents give their kids the very best they can- and it will never be perfect. Then, it's up to those children to throw out what they find flawed, add in what they can that is better, and pass that to their children. One might say- we can evolve ourselves, providing each level of the process does the same thing. Unfortunately- people don't, and society interferes with confusing and inconsistent values, and literally- keeps dumping trash on the table while we are trying to assemble the puzzle of life.

    The person you are quoting is most shallow and pedantic.

    The sexiest organ in the human body is the brain. The second is the heart.

    Wow. I'm going to have to start employing colors and capital letters to make my points. They are so persuasive.
    I bet that you win over a lot of people making your points that way.

    Ironic coming from someone who just posted this response!

    Next time try addressing the SUBSTANCE instead of the STYLE because that is what will ultimately "win over a lot of people" for you.

    How many days did it take you to come up with a thread that just highlights that you feel threatened by women? Confident men aren't threatened by confident women.

    "Threatened by women", that never occurred to me. That's really different. I'm glad that I didn't know this sooner, what with eight sisters and six daughters, I could have been threaten all along. But thankfully, that never even occurred to me.

    Why is that the first thing that came to your mind?
    Telling, very telling.

    I had a mass majority of boys when I reproduced so I have little encounters with feminist. Now I did grow up around a couple in the 1960's and 1970's...

    Eight sisters and six daughters? That explains everything.

    Why do you assume it took me days to reply? You DO realize not everyone sees your posts the exact day you post them, right? Man, you have quite the ego.

    Modern feminism is one big reason why I date and sleep with gorgeous women, 30 years younger than me. Turns out that when sexually empowered, a fair number of young women like older men.

    I like the newest variant of feminism. The young women I meet generally reject the man-hating, perpetual victim-hood feminism of their mothers, and instead feel equal and empowered.

    I love this quote because it fits the women I meet.

    Kindness makes a difference of a sort that abilities. One can be as skilled as anyone and still be a complete jackass

    Applies to everybody. Women experience the same thing talking to men, and we all do - with others, gender not relevant. Character, personality and attitude determines what you are.

    That's also when men begin to peak in terms of earnings and power withing the organization. So then you are making Trumps more crudely stated case that money and power are the worlds great aphrodisiacs. Here's your button....

    Don't twist my words into your inane spin. I don't have a lot of money or power. I have charm, humor, wit, intelligence, I'm fit, honest, and have a kind heart. I have a
    voracious sex drive, total confidence with even the most beautiful women, and have become a highly skilled lover.

    Here's your dunce cap.

    I get the hottest women without having Putin's, or trump's daddy's money.
