Search Results: when people become successful

Growing up I was always awkward, still am. I notice everything, ask off the wall questions, did drama and football in school, lack confidence in my looks and so on. Anyways, I had always been on the outside of society. I never really fit in anywhere. Too smart, too jock, too random, don't drink, it's always something.

So a long time ago I decided to basically give society the bird. I stopped caring what people thought about me. Stopped caring about what people thought of my style. I felt like if people were going to judge me anyways then fuck it. I'll just do what I want to do and to hell with them.

Since then I've become cynical, cold and largely uncaring. Don't get me wrong. I still very much care about my family and the couple friends I have. I mean in general. I still laugh and joke and try to make my few friends laugh (and am largely successful at it). I'm not depressed but every now and then I wonder if I made the right choice to pull away from society. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Don’t confuse good boy with doormat or the stereotypical “nice guy”.

I don’t drink or smoke. I won’t call a girl “my bitch” and I’m not “hard”. I’m a hardworking man, finishing up school to become a news reporter. Working on buying my first home, published two books, workout 4-6 times a week and I would consider myself pretty successful for my age. I try to travel to different countries yearly, I’m very adventurous and ambitious. I’m not OVERLy macho. I’m aggressive and loud when I need to be like in bed or when I’m standing up for myself. I know how to have fun I just don’t drink, smoke or do things that can end me up in prison. Anything else is fair game like parties, trips, etc.

I’m in my mid-20s. My age on here isn’t accurate. It’s like that because my birth year on Facebook is off by 100+ years because I don’t tell people my age. Leaves a little mystery.

I’m pretty level headed and treat everyone with respect until they’ve lost it. But I don’t take anyone’s bs and don’t let people walk over me, love interests included. I’ve never had problems getting dates but I usually end up with “goodie goodies.” Girls who are “too nice” don’t know how to let their hair down and have fun. I’ve been wanting to change it up.

Lately I’ve found myself drawn to girls with a little sass and edge. Not anyone who’d get me in trouble but those girls who know they’ve got it going on, know how to have fun but still have their shit together. I’m wondering if girls like that would go for guys like me, like opposites attracting. Is it worth the trouble to find out?

I pick woman (a pretty one though)

things I love about being a man:
The kind of dominance / feeling of control
standing really tall / feeling of power
A lot of ambition and determination to really succeed and become highly successful (the best)
Love beards and the physical strength too

Things I hate about being a man:
All those things above wouldn’t matter if I was a girl.

No one cares about us - our life is centred around protecting our wife and kids. Men seem to be considered not valuable. People are much more affectionate to women.

It’s lonely - most women have a tight circle of friends, many of us men don’t have that

Men can get called creeps when they haven’t really done anything wrong

Men also aren’t lusted after like women. It’s also up to men to do everything to start a relationship. Even some good looking guys don’t get that much attention from women.
