[QUOTE="DungeonmasterCal, post: 2728577, member: 5388"] I'm probably gonna get bashed, but I can take it. Why is it every one of these threads turns into a "oh po' pitiful me" discussion? You don't like yourself; get off your ass and change it. You want a girlfriend, get off your ass and go get one. You think you're depressed; get off your ass and get help. Look, I'm 42 years old. I weigh over 350 pounds. I have limp that may be permanent after a really bad accident I had 10 months ago. After 15 years, I'm getting divorced. I have a job that pays just enough to get by on with little chance for advancement. But ya know what? Every day above ground is a good day. Live your life, don't wait for someone to live it for you, and don't live your life for someone else. There are women out there for everyone. I'm not even considering dating yet, but at the urging of some friends, I posted a Yahoo personal just to see what women my age are doing and are looking for. I've had six... yes SIX hits so far, and have made friendly connections with a couple of women already, w/out even meeting face to face yet. One of them is even a gamer who works in the industry. I told her I wasn't really ready to date, but it's always good to make a new friend who shares a hobby, and she's cool with that. So get up, get out, get busy. You are (or should be) in control of your own destiny. In short, get off your ass. [/QUOTE]
