Reply #45: What I've learned: [View All]

[Lydia Leftcoast]

1) Physical attraction is necessary, but it's not sufficient. If you have nothing to say to each other, the relationship is doomed. It's important for your lover to be good company on a day-to-day basis.

2) Anyone who slams objects around when he's angry will eventually start slamming you around.

3) Creeps of both sexes are good at faking what the opposite sex wants. Ladies, an outlaw attitude is not "excitement." Gentleman, a bitchy pouty personality is not "passion."

4) Good relationships are scarcer than good jobs.

5) Being a no-social-skills nerd is a form of arrogance. Deep down, it means, "I'm so brilliant and wonderful that I don't have to make any adjustments to the real world or other people's needs and wants."
