Participant[quote=SD Realtor]Thanks ricechex….
Reading some of the posts does in fact bring me back to like… oh maybe jr high school and when I would get rejected I would act in such a manner.
Your analysis was spot on. The funny thing is that one reads some of the posts, and these posts try to point out that it is a “them” problem. The man will say women do this, or women do that, or they turn men into this or that. In reality it is not a “them” problem, it is a “you” problem.
Rice I wish I was one of those guys who got the pick of the women, but I was just another scrapper guy like the rest of them. However one thing I have noticed is that I know alot of “those guys”. These are the guys that have “it”. Whether it is physical looks, or money or whatever, women are just naturally attracted to these guys. For the most part, you NEVER here any of these guys spewing the bitterness that I have read here.
Again it is one thing to say, no thanks I would rather be single and enjoy that life. In fact those that live that life also rarely talk that harsh about women as well. They have the single life, they enjoy it, they enjoy women and that is okay.
So in summary I would classify those that speak in the bitter manner as those that feel women have something they cannot have or have a hard time getting. Thus they lash out and try to “put women in thier place”. They don’t need this or that, they won’t tolerate a woman changing them or doing this or that to them. Once again, it is not them, it is the “women” right?[/quote]
The people that I have met who are most bitter about opposite gender are men who had bitter divorces with financial problems. Complaining about alimony is one thing, but complaining about child support for your kid is beyond pathetic.
BTW, why would tall good looking people ever have a reason to be bitter? Life is handed to them. Tall people earn significantly more than shorter people who really have no reason to live. [sorry, Randy]
This story below puts a different light on the popular mantra “Where have all the good men gone?” That spirit was captured so well by Bonnie Tyler.
“ABCNEWS put together an experiment to test just how willing women are to date shorter men. We brought together several short men and asked them to stand next to taller men. We invited groups of women to look at the men and choose a date.
To see if the women would go for short guys who were successful, ABCNEWS’ Lynn Sherr created extraordinary résumés for the shorter men. She told the women that the shorter men included a doctor, a best-selling author, a champion skier, a venture capitalist who’d made millions by the age of 25.
Nothing worked. The women always chose the tall men. Sherr asked whether there’d be anything she could say that would make the shortest of the men, who was 5 feet, irresistible. One of the women replied, “Maybe the only thing you could say is that the other four are murderers.” Another backed her up, saying that had the taller men had a criminal record she might have been swayed to choose a shorter man. Another said she’d have considered the shorter men, if the taller men had been described as “child molesters.”

Participant[quote=davelj] so many of them that you don’t want to tie yourself down to just one for the rest of your life! I can’t find anything bitter or insecure at all in that outlook – which happens to be mine. There are so many “amazing” women out there that I can’t possibly imagine spending the rest of my life with just one.[/quote]

Overly simplified: the subsidy of 1 million people at $15K should amount to $15K per house. However, only 20-30% are the additional buyers from the subsidy, not 100%; therefore, take $15B/(20-30%*1M)= 50K-75K, as the cost for each extra home bought with your subsidy money. Trick would be to give subsidy to only people who wouldn’t dream of buying without subsidy, but can’t really be done.October 25, 2009 at 9:20 PM in reply to: $15,000 Home Buyers Credit Costs $43K or $133K or $292,000 per home! #473596Participant[quote=sd_matt][quote=Arraya]It’s no subsidy to the people for being tricked into buying increasingly over priced homes.
