How harshly is the age gap judged?

note: men are not represented by a biased sample.

You are absolutely correct. And considering that I work in a hospital, I get to see the whole gammit of personality types....including wide range of cultural differences.

Trust me, if we were talking at the same time, I'd see more than you'd want me to see. It is one of my strongest qualities, the ability to see past the facade that most people put up. Unless I am having a bad day, I like to make eye contact with even complete strangers.

Well I'm not afraid trust me.

Please, peel back my eyelids and show me what I am.

I would like that kind of insight on myself. see into my own eyes in the mirror and be like, "I see the real you."

Lol this thread wins thread of the week.

Head banging to that music right now.

Reality is that most people in my age group that are single have been "run over by a tractor a few times", so no, I am not afraid of a man that comes with a bit of hurt as long as he hasn't forgotten how to love. Now, if he actually owns that tractor, that is a plus and incredibly sexy.

I wonder where I can buy a tractor past midnight.

I honestly think that most people are really just looking for the person that sees their soul and both likes and loves them "as is"...warts and all. But it takes time to get to this point and most people aren't going to become that vulnerable until they know the other person can be trusted. If they have been hurt deep enough, they may never trust anyone like that again and then totally miss out on what real love is.

I don't know... working at a hospital only gives you a look at a part of the population. only certain kinds of people go to hospitals.

I find it hard to learn from people who are always right.

Anyone have a copy of the book "Shes so not into you" that I could borrow?

Yeah. I'll get my trusty pigeon and he can fly it over to ya.

Not to mention many people act different in a distressed state, which is more prone to happen at hospitals.

Also people can spend their lives thinking they know people only to be wrong.

Sick and old people go to the hospital. At some point, that covers most populations. I also have worked at a mental hospital which only took non-voluntary patients. My patients have run from homeless to rich enough that we were kissing ass because they would be donating a new wing when they died. It is a pretty good sampling of the general public.

 

[Grandpa2390]

You might be the coolest grandpa I never had. Because both of mine died before I was born but good post man.

I only have one grand-pa. My paternal grandpa died a couple years before I was born.

you think we call grand-pa pawpaw because they are our pa's pa?

 

[ImAllLikeOkWaitWat]

Get in there now!

 

[redblue22]

I'm not your ordinary loser.

No.. there's like too many words and stuff.

Also the vodka is kicking in..

Out of curiosity, you learn more from people who are always wrong?

I never said I was right all the time. Just that I have the ability to read people pretty good. I have been wrong before. And I have been hurt too.
