On my quest to improve my social skills I have come to what I understand to be a ‘final road block’ of sorts. The one last hurdle to clear before I feel like I could change the direction of my life. A glass ceiling. That final hurdle is the fear of intimacy, commitment and vulnerability. Often...

I recently had a revelation sort of light bulb moment this morning. 💡 While out Friday night something ‘clicked’ in me that has never before. I realized that most people come to social places steadfast as who they are and what they believe in before arriving. They have ‘staying power.’ And...

This will be short, because it’s mostly just a way for me to organize my thoughts after a lightbulb moment.💡 The question is ‘social status’ and status symbols. With the chief paradox being: most status symbols are not best in class performing products. Why, then, do they afford status? Que...

I feel the usefulness of this website has run it's course for me now. I've had a fun run, met new people, became an editor and learned more about women (sort of). But lately I feel this website has become a hamster wheel of nothing good for me. And I have been writing some bizarre things that...

People who know me know that, while some girls think I'm 'hot' in general I do badly with women, but the ones who do appreciate me seem to be sorority girls, and for whatever reason, Delta Gamma girls. I just want to take a moment to celebrate girls who workout, do their hair and want to flirt...

I’ve recently run into trouble with Fin. Aid. As have many other students. Enrollment changes, maybe you need to withdraw from a course or maybe a course is canceled without warning in week 2. Whatever the case may be, reality dawns on a recipient of fin aid that aid is contingent. It kinda...

Religion is a birdcage that traps individuals into being hamstrung by older individuals with more life experience who think they know what’s better for you without giving you the opportunity to discover it for yourself — often times these are the very same people who were the biggest sluts...

I think there are two distinctive classes of people out and about during the day. Those that are away from home, and those that don't have a stable home. Here's some fun examples from my one of my favorite anime's. He has no home to return to. Consequently, the public is his home. When you see...

Figured I’d write this real quick. I come from a family of musicians. My brother plays in a punk band and I often frequent underground rock venues. Well, recently I saw ‘Oh, Weatherly’ live and they were great, but they eq’d their performance by raising the levels of every instrument up, rather...

I wrote a take on discomfort with intimacy and a lack of self-assertiveness. Now I want to go one step further and talk about rumination. Rumination is the act of using your mind as an echo chamber for your internal thoughts. This can be problematic because if you never get out of your own...

Felt like sharing this with the community here. It’s a story of a widowed man who went through life mostly alone until his 40’s. I think these types of people need some more visibility, so here it is. Originally published by and taken from BBC News, written by Joseph. “ 'I'm sad that I didn't...

I’ve been experimenting with my appearance lately out of curiosity to see how people in my local community of both sexes might treat me differently depending on how I look or present myself. I have tinkered with the following aspects of my appearance: clothing choices and styles or archetypes...
