Thinking whether or not to fill the tank... at 4.00 per gal.

"Just booksmart" is actually what you get with psychologists. Book smart and a very mental approach.
Psychologist have learnt schemes and methods to follow, which they do. It's going from A to B to C and once you get to K the problem should be sorted. As that's what the books say.
It may give some insight but rarely solves the real problem. That which is underneath. It is superficial problem fixing.
It truly is overrated.
I am interested in psychology myself, but that is for myself, not to work with on clients.
I have yet to come across a good psychologist who actually truly sorts people's problems.

Coaching is different as it is custom made, way more intuitive and not coming from ratio and logic, nor following schemes & schedules.
A good coach will go to the core of the problem and help solve it. For good.
He/she will have a very good understanding of psychology, how people work, tuning into what the client needs which will be different with each one.
And in my experience with working with clients it is not like: press button A, then B, then C and your problem is solved. It's about truly connecting with the client.

Must say I find it odd that you judge the one with actual client experience and excellent results and with that praise the one who brags about having a piece of paper, yet then you say "just book smart" doesn't work.
Personally I'd rather seek the help of the one with excellent results & reviews, not the one who brags about a piece of paper.

Funny enough I was actually doing the coach study but I only did the first year. I didn't need it. I'm naturally good at it.
And I figured, if my clients need a coach with a piece of paper -which is totally meaningless as it says nothing of the person's qualities- they're not for me.
I want to work with clients who recognise the quality and go "I want that!"
And those were the clients I got :)
At some point I had a qualified life-coach in one of my courses. Her review started with: "This is the best course I've ever done in my life!"
Another client started her review with: "This is an absolutely life-altering course!"
That to me is worth 100x more than a piece of paper. It's actual proof that what you offer and do has high quality :) No piece of paper or education can teach you that. You either got it or you don't.

I believe that specific alphabet is longer, but alas.

What I think... I'd like to see a group of them in research, have their hormone levels checked. And if out of whack restore them to normal, and see how they feel then.

Considering the enormous amount of hormone disruptive stuff in our environment (xenoestrogens) chances are these are the cause of it occurring.

If such research would come up with no difference whatsoever... then we got something interesting to discuss.

I do think it can be difficult for most although much depends on how you communicate with people.
Another thing that affects success, certainly online, are the way you look and the nickname you choose.
In your case the name is kinda flat. And it doesn't reveal whether you are male or female which also doesn't help.
Your photo isn't appealing due to your facial decorations. That is your choice, not judging that, but it will seriously affect how people react towards and feel about you.
You do not have to be good-looking/pretty in order to get attention, that's not what I mean, but when your looks are outside of normal they can be considered off-putting.
I felt that way about your photo and I hadn't even seen the large version. I daren't check it out as the thumbnail looks so scary.
I thought you had a skin disease. Or a photo that AI had done something odd with.
I'm not telling you that to offend or judge you. Just telling what people may think/feel when they see your photo.
It is your choice and with that totally okay. But you also have to accept the consequences of your choice, which is how other people will regard you, certainly in the dating arena.
