Feeling overwhelmed with my huge 'to do' list

Topic: Where to go in November?

When I read the title of this thread, I thought that an other U.S. citizen wanted to stay away from the USA for the next 4 years.

Emotional.

Certain guys can sniff out vulnerability a mile off and pick at it like a scab.

I come from the old school where the male supports his girl and pay's for dinner and a movie. How is that "sponging"?:

reading. Almost 200 books per year.

Not true but...............

I had a short good looking friend(guy) who was very funny. He avoided telling women online how tall he was. He took a picture inside his house while standing on a box so it appeared he was average height. He had several women interested in him until he met them and they saw that he was only 5'4". Women around him never accepted his height.

I'm 5'10", which is average height. I wanted to see if women were more attractive to tall guys. So, I bought elevator shows that put me in at almost 6'2". They were expensive and unnoticeable when wearing long pants. I noticed an immediate huge improvement with the ladies. Women started approaching me and asking me out. Nearly every women I asked out agreed. I never had that kind of success. I hated wearing the shoes though and ended up tossing them into the garbage because they were VERY uncomfortable. Ladies I don't know how you deal with the high heals. Props to you all.

So, height is VERY IMPORTANT to most women! It isn't everything but it is VERY DIFFICULT to overcome being short. Tall guys have it made. Basically the closer a guy is to tall, dark, and handsome the better odds he will have with the ladies.

A tall guy can be broke and ugly.
A really good looking guy can be light complected and a little short.
A dark complected guy can be un-attractive

But....

A short ugly or short light complected guy is really screwed.

However.....

A wealthy and/or famous guy of any appearance or height can overcome all.

During the early 80's our neighborhood had a series of robberies. Once was while the people were home. The next Saturday morning I was out in the front yard and saw a car (not seen in our area before) driving slowly around our (rural) neighborhood. It drove up and down at least three or more times. I proceeded to set up a table, chair, my hunting rifle (35 caliber), cleaning kit and proceeded in cleaning my rifle.

This vehicle drove by once more. Stopped about three houses up from my house for about ten seconds and drove away. Never saw the car again and, oddly, the break-in's ceased. Now I'm not "claiming" it was my action that discouraged the criminals but it's odd that the crime spree stopped immediately.

I am tired of odd balls and crazies being able to purchase fire arms without a back ground check. This puts a bad light on the law abiding citizens of this country. All of my fire arms were purchased legally from licensed fire arm dealerships, I have a carry permit registered with the state of Indiana and they are locked up. I possess the only key. They're never used by anyone else unless I am present with them at a range. Always under my control.
