This is nothing more then a guess.. but based on what fun I have in the past.. you are not wrong, but not right.. If you tend to be a giving type person.. you seek out needy people..You enjoy comforting, helping, ect.

sadly, there are people out there that can see what your qualiteis are, and make use of them to the extreame..

If you are taker, you seek out Givers..

You're right. That's how I was raised, and it is my nature to take care of & help out the people I care about. Seems the only girls I meet though are so selfish it's just incredible. I can't seem to be able to find one in CO that even knows how to say "Thank you" anymore! So I'm not looking... East Coasters are considered pushy & therefore rude, but I only met 1 girl that didn't say thank you to me for holding a door, etc.

I'll take pushy over bad/no manners any day.

Agreed. 100%. I think 1%ers nowadays must include people that remember what manners are, for one. So many fit the stereotype: guys only after sex, girls after the freeride to the good life.

Guess I'll raise Akitas. They're 100% reliable and could care less about diamonds.

Those are no fun.. I once had to layoff my best worker, because if I laid off anyone else.. I would have lost two employees. My best worker for his attendance.. then the other for the layoff..

HAve any Decent Maintenance guys that want to see snow???

I'm sorry Brendan. Its not that you can't trust people, like the guys said, just be more particular over who you trust and who you don't. I have gotten to the point where people have to earn my trust before I'll give 100%

Problem is, a lot of times the nice girls have a hard time telling the difference between the real men and the aholes. I got taken for a fool a couple of times too.

Both men and women use each other for things they want. For men, it happens to be $ex. For women, it happens to be things like money, cars, a place to stay or other types of financial support.

I will agree with you Bill in that women are usually a lot more manipulative and deceiving.

You are on the bus when you suddenly realize ... you need to fart. The music is really loud, so you time your farts with the beat. After a couple of songs, you start to feel better as you approach your stop.

As you are leaving the bus, people are really staring you down, and that's when you realize

you have been listening to your ipod.

On a good note for me though, I'll end up likely still being able to sell the Passat for $3000+, pay for all my latest maintenance/PMS stuff, and have a lower insurance bill too. I scored a 6.0 tranny cooler for $75 from the breakers, and a grey worktruck bumper for $60 off CL, painted black for another $50, and can sell my chrome rear then!

Yeah, I'm a bit too trusting, and far too giving too easily. Karma's a.... well, karma. EVERYONE that's 'gotten over' on me has, in the end, suffered, without me doing anything. Not that I wish it on them, but .... it happens.

I've had that same experience, actually. Except, with me, Karma has a bit of a sense of humor.

Every time I run into someone that has done something crappy to me, like years later, they are always really fat.
