    You're completely right, it's just I feel sorry for the fact so many women don't develop skills and talent.. I feel like I was really lucky to get into my late twenties before I felt confident about my looks. I always assumed I wasn't very good looking, which probably helped me develop an attractive personality. I wasn't an especially cute kid. A bit ugly ducking scenario. So I feel like it's not always the woman's fault.. Having everyone coo over your looks all your life isn't necessarily a good thing.

    I went on myspace last night to see if I could find my old electronic tunes I used to make. I can still search them but apparently they won't play, Tom has deserted us all!

    I visited my old Myspace page not long ago and was amused by how I ordered my top 8

    Myspaaaaace. I met my best friend on there. We'd lived ten minutes walk apart all our lives pretty much.

    C'mon VG everyone who isn't born mentally retarded has a special gift they're born with.

    The nature of our grill and drill education system and societal structure traps most into a rut before they have a chance to develop it.

    he's overstating it.. but there is truth in it.
    i feel like boys are more likely to develop hobbies and interests... girls are herded towards playing at motherhood with dolls, then clothes and make-up..

    so it's not like it's set that way, that it's genetic or anything. it's society. but it is there.

    For example, Irminsul stands out. I don't often meet women my age who have so many things like her racing, pool etc.
    Loads of men like that, rare in women.

    Most of the music was lost in a server upgrade several years ago... Probably on purpose because less music means less needed server space = lower server cost.

    You guys probably wouldn't know about this because I think it was a UK based site.. but before MySpace got big, THE social media site amongst people I knew anyway was FaceParty.com

    i'd totally forgotten about that. it's still there! trying to remember my username.

    I hate technology sometimes.

    The website for paying my trash bill, and the website for my vape supplies, are both screwed up and I can't make a payment.

    I'd call them but my phone doesn't get a reliable signal on the property.

    Damn it. Give me a wired phone and a freaking couple of postage stamps!

    I grew up a bit differently though in comparison to all my sisters who are much different than me.

    My dad wanted a son and kept trying and ended up with four daughters. I never got along with my mum all that well when I was growing up I always felt unwanted or that even though I was too young to understand depressions, I always had the feeling I was the catalyst of some sort of negative emotion for my mum. (all good now though) so I was mostly around my dad and uncle. I didn't really get to do the "female" chores, was more "man" work.

    The two things you mention pool and my iracing, well they're similar in one way. Competition and I definitely have a competitive gene in me with a desire to be better than my opponents. That is something you don't see too often in women unless they're sporty or something I mean even in gaming most chicks laugh something off, wheras I really get pissed off and like... I'm not leaving until I do this! Lol.

    My wife, total opposite. Total opposite.

    But like she always says to me, it's my passion, determination and willpower that are my qualities when it comes to competition.

    yes, i think a lot of it must be to do with how your brought up and who by.
    glad you have things okay with your mum in adulthood, by the way.
