A side of Morpheus/CalGal I've never seen before! Why don't you show this side more often? For the first time I actually respect you!
> Your4 problem and its answer was inherent in your prose; what I mean by that I will share with you momentarily...but first, concerning the bodacious chick with the neanderthal.I remember that guy who presented himself as a peace/love/naturalist 30 years ago; ultimately killed his girlfriend( complete control freak) and kept her in a locked chest for over a year; then escaped to France...anyway, when this homely little miscreant was questiuoned as tyo why he had such luck with getting such beautiful women , he replied matter `o factly, because he knew just how insecure ALL women were...and he gave them what they wanted which was security i.e. endless compliments.
I saw a special on A&E about him...one ugly guy. I forget what his name was, might've been Duplicity.
> Unfortunately, I believe you,Cory, to be way to honest of a person to lower yourself to that level of sycophancy: blowing smoke up a woman`s hynie so she will fall on her back and count ceiling tiles as you "do your manly business".
You know, you're absolutely right. Much of my difficulty from others comes from the fact that I won't go out of my way and consciously be inauthentic. Really, I couldn't seduce a woman using charm...not that I would have moral objections against using her so much...she deserves it if she's that stupid...but it kills me to consciously act like someone else. Of course, I can get quite pretentious at times and let my ego get to my head, but that's always unintentional, and the minute I realize I'm acting like that I feel ashamed.
> The other thing that is important to remember is the old axiom: water seeks its own level.
Well, I'm not interested in the "goddess" as someone to share my soul with...more so a trophy and a play toy. See, I'm really quite honest. I don't feel that way towards women though...only most of them...I have my small number of elite ladies who truly need to be worshipped and respected.
> Beauty really is irrelevant in terms of substance. The majority of "pretty" ladies are all so often entirely vapid between the ears.
You know, I'm glad you agree with me on that. I didn't mean to imply that the girl in the essay WAS the deepest ocean around.
> Case in point are the models( all 7`s) who , other than projecting the affectations, the form , are absolutely meaningless in substance.
Hmm, what about 3's?
> My point to you, lizard-king, is this: by and large, you would never,NEVER, be content with vapidity.
You know me.
> My advise: ( like the old song says) To be happy for the rest of your life, make an ugly woman your wife....they will shower you with gratitude; and not interrupt your conversations.( only, partially, kidding about that)
That advice would work out if blindness afflicted me prior to meeting her!
> Now, as to how you can score,possibly, getting a woman of depth and beauty:Go to where you can express your strengths. You are a brilliant social satirist. Although you are expending alot of energy on htis chat board...( and I have thought about this before) I consider this time, time that you have been honing your craft. Sometime you have got to have the faith in your abilities to "GO FOR IT!"
Seriously...I didn't know you were this wise. I contended you were some new-age freak. I would take up the advice but WHERE are these places? Do you know any off the top of your head (generic areas) where I might find the kind of people like on here?
> First, perhaps, with some other writers in small groups in your area; I realize , at your age, you may have a great deal of trepidation, but ultimately, you have got to realize there ain`t that many that can write at your level of satire. I think you`re brilliant...and that is saying alot...because I thought I was the only one I would ever use that phrase on.
Careful what you say about me. I'm easily impressionable. Social satire is my gift, eh? It is, by far, the easiest kind of writing for me to do. That Luck essay was written continuously and spontaneously. Prose, poetry, and plays on the other hand, take time for me to go through each sentence or line and carefully word it out. It's time consuming and stressful.
> And that , ultimately, ties in how Cory will lose his sweet virginity without feeling like a soiled fool: Some beautiful, but introverted young lady will be at one of those writer sessions, sharing her fragile poetic lines and will be so amazed at your level of accomplishment...she will seek you out; then ,VOILA!...Luck , Chance, Predestination...those are mere terms for two kindred spirits finding eachother in this wounded world. Best to you, Lizard King.
You're quite the optimist. But, we need people like you to keep us pessimists from weighing down progress and hope. You really have a way with words. I was surprised you had it in you!
