Symian Vices

[Dottie]

To be honest I don't believe you. I believe there are many people, both male and female who makes bad decisions, regarding partners and other things. But that most, or even a substantial part of American females would prefer lying, objectifying drug addicts sounds highly unlikely, despite media images.

How many of the Americans on SYM who is in a romantic relationship is/is attached to a intolerable selfish person? It would be nice to know...

I don't know, maybe it's because it happened to a couple of people close to me, I know that I'm overreacting. Actually that's probably it. I apologize for ranting, it was really kind of dumb.

Top Vice- Self pity.
I'm too drugged up to really want to explain, but if you ever see a good tragedy, That's what I'm talking about. I think I'm what they call a hopeless romantic, but any and all of my relationships crumble and become another regret somehow.*sob*

Computers. Not much else - I'm to stringy to have (m)any vices, but seeing as computers play such an integral part of my life, it would be my vice.

That ranges from hardware, software, books about, games and so on .... if I didn't have selfcontrol, I could sell my soul for new hardware or an interesting computer programming book.

Oh no, not by a long shot. The missus' wears the pants in our relationship, but I do make an effort to complain loudly or use twice the amount of resources or time to get any chores done regardless of how trivial they may be.

Yet another vice.

It was more of the fact that when you happen to be said things, you tend to get taken advantage of, at least from my experiences. Granted, they are good things in and of themselves. Yet, when you happen to right from the start be nice, generous and trusting of others, you tend to have people take whatever they can from you and wander off. Being too trusting and too generous are definately not good things, as they can hurt you.

It seems as though you don't believe a lot about reality here in the states, although I'd have to say that generally anyone in any country doesn't truly know or understand how things work in different countries. At least not without spending extensive time being there. I do my hardest to ignore the news, and studies. However, the majority of my friends have been younger females. The general experiences I've had dealing with them, their friends, and my peers when I was in school was as said above. You see the girls rushing to the "bad boy" type male, and the boys rushing to the slutty females who pretend to be better than everyone else.

This does not make it all, or most across the country or world. In my area, and my experiences, and the experiences of every person I have discussed it with across this country they say it is very common. I distinctly remember being constantly assaulted with cries for help from young women in abusive relationships. It is very common for young people to make horrible choices for relationships. They tend to go for a person in order to become more popular, get money, or because they person is dangerous and exciting, or simply attractive. This tends to happen until they leave school and it's horrible atmosphere, get thrashed good or milked for everything they own and find out that's not a good way to live.

Personally, I've never liked the jackasses who treat women badly, but I do have a thing for those with a bit of mystery

*nods* It is not even that "bit of an edge" however. Perhaps it is because I refuse to mingle with the stuck-up, well off people in my area and instead deal with mostly those of a lower "class". Yet, it is becoming far too common for a young woman to attach herself to a thug drug dealer so she can drugs and protection in exchange for sex and putting up with whatever said thug dishes out to her. Or, the opposite, a pretty woman using her appearance and body to take what she wants from the males who lust for her.

Meh, I've gone off topic.

I found another vice. Apathy. I am, for the most part, quite the apathetic jerk to most of those I encounter. I just don't care about what most people find truly important, and in fact most people in general. It most definately affects my life in a number of ways, yet, it lets me sleep at night, so it's not all bad.

I tihnk my vices include gluttony, Whilst I somhow remain under 10 stone (by about 8 Oz) I always fell as though I have to finish the plate or sneak to the fridge and make an impromtu sandwich..... I dunno.

I am also a Master of Inappropriate Foot Placement, that is I tend to put my foot in it more often then not. I won't give examples as they are quite horrendous.
