Search Results: pride gets the best of you

If so, what are you willing to sacrifice? Willing to risk your life to ensure Iran is pacified and oil flows and petro dollar stay in tact?

Right now... for most USA, it's just about the price of oil. For the military, it's about their lives and their families.

For Iran... not sure what this is..."pride", survival?

If USA "loses"... we leave without securing the channel where oil flows, we lose a lot of power. Put our best forward and cannot control oil flows, we get clobbered. Only saving grace would be Trump takes all the blame, some other savior comes in as president adn heals all the wounds. Still seems like we'd be a lot weaker than before.

There are a few times out of curiosity I’ve approached heavier girls and even though they were traditionally not very pretty there was something intangible about them I found attractive.

Surprisingly these girls were actually extremely bitchy when I gave them keen but innocent attention. The attention wasn’t sexual but of intense curiosity that might become sexual.

Anyway they got bizarre deluded sense of pride that they just had to play “hard to get”. Yet I would have no problem walking the second I felt a shit test happening. Admittedly attractive women are much more likely to get away with playing games with me (but I know where to draw the line). But it’s like a unattractive woman thinks that acting bitchy somehow puts her on par with the very pretty girls she is so jealous of.

I remember years ago I went to get a few drinks with a girl I didn’t find attractive at all. I’m not sure how it started by she ended up going mega bitch and saying something really nasty.

Then next day she messaged me and apologize profusely. She begged me for a second chance. I told her I felt better she apologized but I wasn’t interested in hanging out again. She sadly wished me best of luck and I did likewise.

But anyway why do these unattractive often self sabotage the few rare opportunities they do have to date a decent looking guy who gave them attention? Does the feeling of deluded pride of being “able to turn someone down because I think I am hot and have options” more satisfying then actually having a real tangible rare opportunity with someone?

I know no fat guy would turn down a woman who is a 7 or above. But why would a BBW woman turn down the same vice versa?
