Well, Martha, all this talk of fighting-which, BTW, someone else begun, is really getting me excited, but bottom line, it IS a tennis board. There are martial arts forums on the Web that one can visit.
Actually, I'll go out on a limb and say that I am the NICEST most PLEASANT guy you would ever want to meet. Really; don't laugh. Cynical and sarcastic yes, but that just makes me, as you said, much more interesting (and not bland). And I have NEVER had to put all this in one of those personal ads. And of course, there are my vissionary qualities...You'll just have to stick that comment in your personality computer and come up with yet another formulaic profile.
I've met people like you-all-knowing types who feel they have an "instinct" for people, without, necessarily, the requisite experience other than their own psychological shortcomings. They look DEEP into your eyes and then TELL you who you are, or profess to do so. These people are often delusional and some of the "revelations" that they come up with laughable. Most of them are, themselves, mental basket cases who, knowingly or not, parrot the psycho-babble that they pick-up from their therapist(s). I'm thinking back and I can't see what you've got close to, unless, maybe...the hair could be better. Could you fit this character type? No need to, really, argue what isn't true, but you're welcome to keep trying-hey, try coming up with something more positive-believe it or not you may actually hit on it, or not. Just don't go overboard. I'm not filthy rich with super model wife and hangers on at my beck and call. I wouldn't even inflate my NRTP on this board.
As for what people may say about me behind my back, I don't care. Never has concerned me in the least; it's like cursing bad weather-a waste of time on something beyond anyone's control. I yam what I yam and people will think what they will. Now can we get back to tennis? Unless you have some other profundity to offer...
