authenticallyme, remember that what you read here is not exactly how every one of us will come across in real life. This forum is merely a place for us to come together to focus on a little area of our life to improve. In reality there is a lot more than that to every one of us. But if I was to write as much about my family, work, training, Ironman racing, books I've been reading, various projects, clothes, etc etc etc... the main point of this forum would be lost in all the clutter. If we come across one dimensional, that is the result of the intentional purpose of this forum (focusing on male/female & social interactions).

Just like it would be very very easy for everybody on a car racing forum to come across as one dimensional guys who are obsessed with cars.
on the *I* piece........thats fine, but i dont think there is a right or wrong. i still type my little i out of strength, not weakness. it is about intention and motivation, not what the final outcome is. my self esttem is not reflectedf by how i type, but i do accept that you see it differently, and i can acceptt hat *I* is better and right for you. so thats good.

i agree about the forums 'overall and encompassing' purpose.......but it seems like no one here will step out and validate some of the things im reading. while i can now appreicate there is a process and depth here that although i may not understand, still exists-i ALSO read things (like on the homepage for Vic) about a testimonial where a dude got his chick to do a threesome. im sure he has all kinds of 'she-really-wanted-to's" to back it up, but sorry, i see some of the tactics here used to manipulate. not every post; not by everyone....but i do see it, and it is hurtful to me as a woman, and it also saddens me.......for other women, and even the men who use these tactics.

my opinion only.

ok, time to go to dictionary.com and get my word of the day. my goal this new year is to grow my verbiage.

ciao!
