I'm reading some of the comments in this thread and I'm filled with envy by one thing; the bullshit detector.

Being a "judge of character" is def not one of my assets. I don't know if its experience or some people just happen to be blissed with it, one thing for damn sure, if I had it, it would eliminate YEARS of drama from my life.

Another thing...

Being a libra(and call it a stereotype), I have a rare taste in everything,,,,name it, I'll claim it; fashion, music, movies, food, books. You'll NEVER be bored with my company, this I know.

I always see the brighter side of things and people no matter how bad

I perservere in all my challenges

I don't take things personal

Im laid back

I have love for everyone, even those i don't particulary like

I'm very intuitive

I'm a very good mother and sister and friend

I know how to help without being a crutch

I love LOVE to laugh

I'm sensual, sexy and goofy at the same time

I'm opinionated enough to argue but won't waste my time normally...

I have no problem calling bullshit when I see it, but have even less of a problem ignoring bullshit when I see it...

I make snap judgements...ones that, atleast in my eyes, are always right...

I tend to live life inside my own lil' bubble, concerning myself with what only directly affects my family and myself...some see that as selfish and lazy...I agree

thank you for eloquently putting in words what i'd have never ever been able to explain myself.

I'm having a tough time with this.

Me too.

• I am intelligent
• I'm a good teacher- dedicated, fair and knowledgeable
• I'm friendly and have a good sense of humor
• I call things like I see them, even if people don't like what I have to say
• I will do anything (within reason) for a friend... and slightly more unreasonably for the man I'm with
• I think I'm pretty decent-looking... with a nice body
• I have a great sense of style and color
• I have an amazing shoe collection- not just in numbers, but the unusual, funky styles

**I wish I was a better judge of character when it comes to men, tho.

I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and bend over backwards, which means I usually end up hurt.

I wish I could find someone who recognizes the things I listed, plus other things that would make me a keeper... ...

i can't remember which movie this quote is from but whenever i'm being told stuff i could do without i instantly think "what is it about me that makes people open up?"

it really sucks knowing too much because sometimes you get to see who's right and who's wrong, and while you won't say a word, but you can't help but change the way you view or even deal with the side that's in the wrong.

Sometimes its worse than that though, a new burden on top of the stuff thats already piled up inside you.

Like, this close family member of mine shared with me a secret the rest of his close circles are not aware of(I think I told you about this situation).

Believe me, its HELL seeing what that person have to go through in order to maintain this "illusion" that people have of him. The worst thing of the scenario is, I'm seeing a good person suffering and I can't even do anything to change the situation,,,,talk about a guilt trip.

Thats only one example among many.

Don't say to yourself that you never meet people, because you have, just not the right one. As long as you believe it will happen for you, he can enter your life.

What's good about me ?

I am a really good Mom

and wife and daughter and sister

I'm good at honesty

I'm good at being good to myself and others

I'm good at creating wonderful family time/vacations

I'm good with animals

I'm good at showing others their strengths

I'm good ... well i'm "good" at a lot of things really

I think most people are good at a lot of things

I consider you one of my role models in life alongside my mother and father, my mother in law, and my wife, for a whole host of reasons. I take some things into my life all the way over here from knowing you, so thank you.

I have mentioned before that I am honoured ~ deeply Thank YOU

I make the choice and take the time to try to learn something form people I encounter ... EVERYONE has something to offer

even if it's something we choose NOT to respect or take into our ways

To be perfectly honest, this thread made me sit back and think ...

I went through all the standards i.e. good to my kids, hold the door open for a lady, use good table manners etc. but decided that wasn't really enough to answer your question.

So... I'm stumped! I feel like I'm just existing at this point. Too broke or mundane to regularly do anything spectacular.

I do meet them, but like you said... OH BOY are they not the right ones.

I keep hoping, tho.

Being a family man is a big one!

You strike me as a great guy.

And don't underestimate the power of opening a door for a woman. I love that shit.

WTH hun Being GOOD to your children is an amazingly GOOD thing ~ you know...many many people are NOT so

Chalk that up to setting high standards, because it sounds like the start of a pretty loveable list.

I hate everyone equally.

You give off a vibe of someone who's nice. I would bet there is not one person on prince.org who thinks otherwise. I don't know what it is, but you say nice. The driving I can't comment on, but I commend it if it's true.

Well, bless your sweet heart! I like you, too.

Oh, and I ADORE your avie!

that was quite funny

Awww you guys!!! I'm totally pukin' rainbows now!!

that hella just made my day!! I was totally bummed out by this thread because I'm goin' through a bit of a phase right now (workin' my ass off, broke as hell, my crew is sailing to Hawaii in 3 days without me because of said work & brokeness ) ...

I all y'all!!!

maybe what I consider my positive attributes, you consider to be the very things that make me an intolerable asshole...and quite honestly, that may be the best thing about me...

Naaa. I find you quite entertaining!

Dude, the world doesn't need another rockstar or superhero. Just be the good -- and regular -- man you are. Believe me, when all we utterly fabulous types are dead and gone, your kids will be left to manage the world... and they'll do it in very large part based on the unsung, mundane, but extremely important example you set. That's the stuff that really matters.

I knew it! Even though we haven't met, I get this vibe.

I make a superb roast dinner!

Salt of the earth is not how I would describe myself, but I put up sheds and wardrobes and stuff like that for my mum. Grudgingly, but I put them up.

I can call people on their bullshit and be able to be called on mine.

I speak my mind.

I have a rainbow of friends all over the world.

Through volunteer work I have been offered a job that finally gives me the opportunity to love what I do: helping people.

In less than a year, I will graduate for the first time from college.

I am a great listener and can give great advice.

The older I get, the more mellow and balanced I have become.

You forgot your radiant smile/smize
