Piggs and their single daughters?

[quote=barnaby33]Careful Ca renter, you are getting scary and moralistic. We aren’t all davelj. Oh wait we are.

You basically have two options, always wear a condom after doing a visual spot check for herpes sores, coupled with never having oral sex. Option two extend some trust to potential partners, but pre-screen them, your methods may vary.

Funny how this morphed from my appeal for a date, to a frank discussion on STD’s. I figure they are proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy, covered head to toe in latex.

Davelj is an arrogant man, and that is not attractive. You on the other hand, seem like a nice guy. Nice guys do finish first.

arrogant actually tends to attract. Nice tends to repel. Your mileage may vary

davelj is not arrogant. He’s confident. He speaks the honest truth rather than mince words. That’s admirable in my opinion.

I would agree with scaredcat’s assessment on attraction. I would say that confidence is attractive.

Personally, I think arrogant is the wrong adjective.

Arrogant is defined as “making claims or pretensions to superior importance or rights; overbearingly assuming; insolently proud.”

If anything I consider myself quite unimportant personally and, in the larger scheme of things, the human race (and Planet Earth, etc.) as rather unimportant as well. I am and we are irrelevant (but we do have lives to lead). This is the opposite of arrogance.

I think someone’s mistaking arrogance with an understanding of self. I know myself, probably to a greater degree than most folks know themselves. To the extent that anything can truly be “known,” I know what I know, and I know what I don’t know. I readily acknowledge my limitations – which are considerable – I don’t pretend to know something about everything. I know what I like and what I don’t like, and to a greater degree than most I don’t allow social or cultural pressures to influence either.

Most importantly, unlike most people, I don’t have a deep desire to be “liked.” I go to great lengths to attempt to maintain the respect of my professional peers, but I don’t care if they like me or not (and many do not, I can assure you). So I tend to be direct and speak my mind, regardless of how someone might feel about it. And I think it’s this aspect of my personality that’s being confused with arrogance.

Having said all that, if someone still wants to think of me as arrogant, then so be it.
