    surfer, dude

    And I work tirelessly on my career... the thought of getting desirable sex from it never crossed my mind.

    Maybe that is because you are a woman? And you do not have to do anything to attract a man? Maybe men HAVE to do these things to get a woman?

    The alternative, which you so despise, is for men to become better at wooing women without the men having any other talents than to woo women.

    So which is it? Should we men all just shoot ourselves in the head?

    Do I meet people I love dearly beacuse of our shared passion and expreience? sure. But that rarely has anything to do with anything sexual. I work on my career because it's my passion and my soul and my life (and has been for 18 of my 25 years). If someone offered me tons of sex with desirable guys for doing something else, I'd laugh in their face.

    Who said guys do things to get women? If I love surfing and I become a good surfer, the women gravitate to me. what is the problem? I am still doing what I want.
