Question Symian Vices

I had the thought that I'd be interested in seeing whether other's would be willing to share their own personal vices. I've become curious, and figured I'd share. Not that most of you couldn't guess anyways.

Meh, my biggest one happens to be emotionally broken artistic women.

Second, boredom and the need to create amusement at the cost of others.

Third, generousity.

Any takers? What's your downfall?

Drag Racing. For some reason, girls dont find that so strangely exciting (like in a daredevil james bond indiana jones Han Solo kinda way.) as I think they should. Kinda makes me into a nerd. An obsessed nerd.

Note to chus: Cars don't impress any but materialistic gold diggers. I know girls who like dorks though, apparently, us dorks are adorable. You should join the dork side.

Oh, I thought of another one. Liqour.

I lift wieghts for my personal reasons...but some women dont like that or think I do it for them (uh oh I dont think my sig helped )...I get very modest with my muscles..and only bring them out for show when evryone jumps me to see them

another thing is I guess im too nice..I treat them like actual women instead of objects...seriously guys who act like jerks to girls give us nice guys a hard time trying to show that being treated nice is a good feel, thats what I get for living in LA ....it seems like nice guys always finish last

*nods* I can't ask a girl to hang out without her assuming I'll drug her or want her body right off because of those jerks. I'm no saint with girls, but I have my morals. It's hard balancing the being nice, generous and forgiving with being assertive sometimes.

Exactly...if your nice to them they think you want something more.....seriously all I would want would be a good conversation....and to hang out with them..nothing more

Hmm..
Well, I've always had a masochistic attraction to dark, brooding men
Happily though, being in a monogamous relationship curbs any liklihood of getting into trouble

My biggest actual "vice" (if it can be called that) is coffee.... I can't seem to give it up, though at least I've managed to cut down.

Alcohol? I'm a very moderate drinker, but I have a real weakness for high end red wines...

A more serious vice? Procrastination...

How is being nice, fit, modest and treating girls like they are human a vice? I thought I vice was supposed to be kind of negative, and that's not negative in a "Oh, I'm so perfect so it is hard to live around other people" kind of way.

Personally I'm unfair, arrogant, pretentious, selfish, lazy and cant resist ice cream.

lol, you know, brooding men only brood to hide the fact that they really don't have much of interest to say.

Yes, speaking from experience.

@Dottie. Pride is a vice, I think . And so is dishonesty. These may be real confessions after all

My vices? Too many to count, but since they have their advantages as well as disadvantages, I view them more like trade-offs

I'm impulsive, I easily get addicted to anything that gives a rush (count handsome men and risk-sports here), I'm a workaholic to such an extent so my friends think I've disappeared from the surface of earth. I'm also elitistic and very competitive in professional areas.

The worst vice of all, may be that I'm quite happy about the advantages of the above vices, so I don't wish to change them

lol! I knew I should have resisted checking back into SYM..see.. I was being honest about procrastination being a vice

*laughs* Thing is, most of the brooding types I have met tend to have quite a lot to say once they trust you enough to talk about themselves

My problem has often been that I'm immediately bored by the ultra sweet, transparent types.

I think that is also what Mag and Slade could be getting at. In my experience, (based on personal encounters, and those of female friends), women seem to like guys that have a bit of an edge to them. How widespread this is, though, I really can't say.
Personally, I've never liked the jackasses who treat women badly, but I do have a thing for those with a bit of mystery

Lol, you are probably right. The subtle delivery probably made it go over my head.

@Slade: Are you sure they are bad things? I think there are plenty of girls around that is attracted to nice men...

...on the other hand they might not be attracted to people who believe treating them well is a vice, so there might be other potential problems here.

@Dragon Wench: I think the connection between bad and novel or kind and boring is false. Imo you don't have to be immoral to be interesting.

Dear God I am the laziest person on planet Earth... That would be my biggest vice.

Others?
Procrasttination's a big one, but that kinda falls under laziness IMO...
I'm much too nice to all people and avoid fights whenever possible... I don't really stick up for myself.




... Oh and I like women.
