Im not gonna sit and repeat my earlier points to you. Just answer the question.

 

How old are you?

 

And from what I gather in your posting history, you do not have much life experience....especially if you are so naive to think all people are the same personality wise.

 

And again, unless you know exact measurements for shoe heels, insoles, and can eyeball someones posture potential, then I call bs on how well you judge height to the inch.

Wouldn't you ideally prefer to meet a guy who wasn't baseline though ?

I've met a few people my age and younger who weren't typical.

 

The majority of atypical people I've met tend to be much older aka 50s and above.

 

I'm not sure if you were generalizing MOST males or saying that ALL males are similar and mostly the same.

I'm generalizing people it just especially applies to guys.

 

Personalities can be drastically different from person to person but I am not sure if you meant typical or all so sorry if I am reading your post incorrectly. I personally find myself FAR from most typical guys FWIW but I do agree that mostly people tend to have the same natural characteristics.

This. :)

 

Along with my own twist of the same natural characteristics tend to have personality not really differ much. They can but it's not often or to that large of an extent to make a difference to me.

If the human mind wasnt unique, then the study of it wouldnt be what it is today. Psychology professionals can tell you how wrong you are about personalities being the same.

 

Men and women may have similarities within their group, just as all groups of people have similarities within their group, but this doesnt mean that people dont have complex and differing personalities.

 

Maybe if you actually took the time to analyze people or get to know them, youd see that. You see to have a rather simplistic view of human beings...and we are far from that.

Where is this earlier post that I have lied about my age on? Do note a post saying I'm 20 is not a lie as people tend to have birthdays. :laugh:

 

I have plenty of life experience and it's shown me that baseline people's nature tends to be pretty similar so personality doesn't really make a difference or vary much.

 

Okay seriously, at 20 plenty of life experience ? You've been out of highschool for what 2-3 years ? You have crap for life experience. I am 28 and I still am learning new things FWIW. If you think you have a good basis for real life experience then when you're my age you will think you're Einstein.

 

I'm not debating your personal preference but from your age to 50 is a HUGE difference. I believe I've changed a lot of my ideals and thoughts from 20 to even 28, I can only imagine @ 50 years old how my ideology will further transform. I believe that while a person can have their personality and ideals it will ultimately differ somewhat as they get older although their baseline behavior would run parallel with some differences based solely on age.

Im not gonna sit and repeat my earlier points to you. Just answer the question.

Your earlier points were that:

  • you must have been attracted to a below average height guy
  • it's impossible for you to correctly guess that a guy is at least average height
  • it's ridiculous that you'd turn down a great face/perfect body guy because he's short (despite that being short is a turn off for me equating to ugh or meh attraction sos face/body makes no difference)

 

That's pretty much it- disbelief and ridiculing shock at passing up a guy I'm not attracted to sprinkled with some insults.

 

 

How old are you?

Thought you knew going by your posts of my earlier posts of lying about my age. :confused:

 

 

And from what I gather in your posting history, you do not have much life experience....especially if you are so naive to think all people are the same personality wise.

You gathered that from my posting history where I've included my varioous experiences and the multiple life experiences of women and men from all age ranges, races, and sexual orientation?

 

Interesting...

 

 

And again, unless you know exact measurements for shoe heels, insoles, and can eyeball someones posture potential, then I call bs on how well you judge height to the inch.

I don't have to know the exact measurements to be able to tell if a guy is at least average height going by my experiences.

 

I take my height into consideration.

I take heels, insoles, and posture into consideration their's and mine.

Then I compare.

Have yet to be wrong on guessing an average height guy not being average height.

Plus there's my feeling of attraction as I've said often times I just don't go ugh or meh with guys like a guy seeing an unattractive face.

I think it's important a guy is tall enough so that his feet touch the floor when he's standing up....:D

 

Lying down, it doesn't matter how tall you both are.....:cool:

What I can agree with Udol on is that human nature is pretty typical but I totally get what you're saying. Personalities in people are drastic from a serial killer to a priest etc but as animals we do mimic behaviors but unlike all animals we do have different personalities which can further separate us from the typical flock per se.

^This.

 

I noticed a profound difference in who I was every few years. From 15 to 18 to 22 to 25(present) Id look back on those earlier ages and see how much experience Ive gotten and growth Ive done. I didnt really settle down into who I was as a man until I was 24.

 

Mid 20s is usually when people get a truer sense of self. Youre no longer a kid. I didnt know jack at 20...though I used to think I did....but with time we all see how little we knew in those younger days. The big milestones are mid 20s and the big 3-0. I cant imagine how different 30 is going to feel one day.

Thought you knew going by your posts of my earlier posts of lying about my age. :confused:
You misinterpreted what I said. I said either you lied about your age, in which case you are actually older...or in reality you really are a young kid who knows it all.

 

Therefore Im saying that if you really are 20 like your posts say, you never lied about your age...get it?

I'm 21... the 20 thing was me stating a post saying I'm 20 is not a lie as I have a birthday and have grown older.

 

You've been out of highschool for what 2-3 years ?

4 years.

 

You have crap for life experience.

I have a career not a job.

I have a house I own.

I have a car I own.

I have an associates & bachelor's degree.

I have a huge social circle.

I know loads of people. (people I know don't equate my social circle to me)

I've traveled the world- Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa.

I've volunteered for loads of hours.

 

I am 28 and I still am learning new things FWIW. If you think you have a good basis for real life experience then when you're my age you will think you're Einstein.

I'm also learning new things I doubt I'll differ much in my evaluation of myself in 7 years.

 

I'm not debating your personal preference but from your age to 50 is a HUGE difference.

I've already noted that difference with my whole personality doesn't differ much until the 50s and most of the atypical people I've met are in their 50s and above.

 

I believe that while a person can have their personality and ideals it will ultimately differ somewhat as they get older although their baseline behavior would run parallel with some differences based solely on age.

This is my point.

Interesting...

We are talking about your life experience...not your anecdotes about others life experiences. A kid your age hasnt even really experienced life yet, and neither have I.

 

I was 21 once, about 4 years ago...and trust me...I didnt know squat and most kids your age dont know squat but think they do. When you get to be 25...you can come back and tell me how everyones personalities are still the same. Youll have grown some since now and see that isnt true.

 

The mindset most people are in at 21 isnt very analytical or grown up at all. Its very care free and simplistic and immature...hence your framing of the world having an abundance of hotties for you to play with. You really have no idea how much 21 is different from 25 and 28....everyone on this forum will tell you that major changes happen in your teens and 20s.

 

But you know better kid...right?

Hell dude I've had coworkers tell me, "wait until you're 35 you will change your behavior even more" and I'm like FFFFFUUUUUUUU!!! I'm happy where I am right now, I don't want to change hahaa

I think once you've hit 30 that you will find you have different perspectives on things than you do currently. I'm going of my personal experience and what other's have conveyed to me that were in their mid 30s or older. It could be that I was (most likely) quite immature when I was younger (and still am at times) when I was your age but the differences from then to now for me personally have been quite drastic.

I think 25 is about that specific age where I found myself changing my ideals drastically as well.. What the hell is it like a "magic" age to change or WTF...

I was talking about my experience:

 

The post you quoted in response even states my various life experiences.

 

You may not have had life experiences but I have. Volunteer work, travel, and knowing an assortment of people did that for me.

 

I was 21 once, about 4 years ago...and trust me...I didnt know squat and most kids your age dont know squat but think they do. When you get to be 25...you can come back and tell me how everyones personalities are still the same. Youll have grown some since now and see that isnt true.

I highly doubt that as I've thought this since I was 10 so....

 

The mindset most people are in at 21 isnt very analytical or grown up at all. Its very care free and simplistic and immature...hence your framing of the world having an abundance of hotties for you to play with.

I'm quite analytical and I considering owning my own house, car, having a career, and 2 degrees to be very grown up.

 

My framing of hotties to play with comes from my lack of interest in relationships and marriage and my appeal in attraction over typical personality.

 

You really have no idea how much 21 is different from 25 and 28....everyone on this forum will tell you that major changes happen in your teens and 20s.

In most cases those major changes I've already gone through or been a party of.

 

But you know better kid...right?

I know better for me never presumed to know better for anyone else as you seem to have done.

 

Seems that's your forte with the whole sprinkle insults, calling me naive, a kid, having no to little significant experiences.

Whatever you say girlie...Im not gonna argue this with you. Wisdom will come in time.

 

Shame how I sound like my parents even though Im only 25

Doubtful my perspectives have pretty much been the same from elementary.

My father began to treat me like an equal adult, when he discovered I was pregnant with my first child.

I was 26.

i didn't feel i'd done my last bit of 'growing up' until i hit my 30's.

I have plenty of flaws, but now I'm in my 50's, i am extremely comfortable in my own skin.... particularly as i have reached that age of the 'elders' i was always being told, as a child, to 'respect' - !

 

in my head?

I'm still 19-and-three-quarters....

 

Height isn't important to me - there has to be an initial attraction, a chemistry.

 

My first husband was 5'6"

My second was 6'3"

my current husband(!) is 5'9".

 

I couldn't go out with someone shorter than I though.

I think it would be difficult.

I'm 4' 10".....

I know right! lol

 

Well I have read some stuff on doctors saying the brain reaches its full growth at 25. That could be part of it.

 

The rest I think is cultural. In the West we tend to goof off and party in our teens and early 20s...and we dont finish with college and settle into jobs until our mid 20s...so it makes sense that 25 is a milestone.

 

30 is that next milestone because your ending your first full decade as an adult. Entering our second decade of adulthood, the 30s is when people are settle down and building their families and stuff....so yeah....big milestones.

 

I wish I couldve stayed in my early 20s forever though lol

the name of the op is familiar, if i am not mistaken, she is the one who made up a rape story so that she will get attention. how pathetic.

i dunno why you guys posting on her thread, she clearly needs medical help and i mean pills type of help.

she has an alcoholist mom, drug addicted brother, she's alcholist herself, and her dad uses a ton of verbal violance.

she's also assosiated with friends who have serious issues like bpd, narcssiam, etc etc..

 

she also a known attention whore cause if memory serves me right (and it does) she posted some topless pic of herself here a while ago, ofcourse they got removed a few hours later, but a lot of people saw it.

 

she posted them so that people will confirm her breasts are fine (lol????).

you'd think that experience would keep her off the forums, but nooo, she's back now with some **** about a muslim guy she fancies (she's christian) and his height.

 

some people are such attention whores it's so so sad.

 

i will look for her topless pic again, see if i can get a link. she's kinda messed up in the head tbh.

Perhas when that wisdom comes to you there'll be far less insults and condescending remarks. ;)

 

I've sounded parental since I was 12 frequently told I'm an old soul.

Word !! At times I find myself thinking the same thing and I'm like damn I'm getting older.. Soo much for the whole "I will never be like my parents when I'm grown up" :laugh:

Whatever you say...its not like I havent come across your type before. Young, defiant, and swears they are more mature than they really are.

 

Down the line and years go by and they mature and change just like everyone else does. If you say everyones personalities are the same, why all of a sudden do you think you can be so different from the rest of us? You cant have it both ways hun.

Omg...I say the same thing to my best friend. We will lay some wisdom on his little brother (hes 13) and then we will look at each other and go "damn bro we are getting old...this isnt good"

That is highly unlikely, I doubt in elementary you had any relationship,financial and otherwise perspectives on "adult" situations. I've never met a child in elementary who could express a proper perspective on "adult" situations which in an abrasive comparison is what I meant by once you've reached 30. Obviously will have similar mind sets from 21-30 than elementary-21 but what you will obtain is overall wisdom which will influence and enhance your perspectives. Hope that makes better sense.
