How harshly is the age gap judged?

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.

But people change over time. People behave differently in different environments under different circumstances. I still feel pretty safe in saying that you don't see most populations.

One could argue working retail like Wal-Mart gives you a better picture of the population than working in a hospital. But even then, depending on the store you work at will effect which part of the population you see...

Lol, I haven't drank that much..

I'll be up for a while.

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.

Are you into losers?

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

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.

Hopefully at discharge, they aren't in a distressed state anymore.

And you are right that people can live their whole lives thinking that they know someone only to be wrong. That could be me too...but most of the time it isn't. Why does it bother people that I know this about myself?

know what about yourself?

It's probably lessened but still there.

I think some people feel like you're trying to have a monopoly on how others feel.

That I am good at reading people....

From what I've read from your posts so far it seems you are good at making a lot of assumptions but not necessarily correct ones.

I thought we were talking about how you were against dating younger people. I missed the change.

I didn't say that I was the only one who is good at this. I don't tell anyone else what to feel. I just am good at recognizing it.

 

[blackribbon]

I totally suck at remembering faces.

My filing system is a cardboard box with everything in it.

I am not that great with names.

I am getting old.

Does that make you feel better?

I don't know what we are talking about anymore, I just type and pray I type something that makes half sense.

Even compared to the people having this discussion in this very thread?

I think people are good at recognizing aspects of people. I don't think anyone has a good grasp on the full spectrum of people.

You won't forget mine(if you saw it that is) I can guarantee you that.

since I doubt that we even live within 100 miles of each other, I suspect that isn't likely to be an issue....

Oh yeah?

I never said anything about anyone in this thread. I didn't even pretend to understand anyone in this thread. I was talking about generalities... and there are always exceptions to every generality.

I also do believe that nurses tend to have a good grasp on a large spectrum of people because that is a necessary skill to be able to do our job successfully. My current patients run from 2 hours old to I had one not too long ago that was 101. My adult patients now are primarily female but I do float to other units as needed.
