Men At The Bottom...Would You Take A Chance ?

Not clear what you are seeking? A 'non-succesful woman' who will work for your aspirations? Or a 'successful woman' who will assist you? Confusing to me

Sariangel, it seems to unfair to assume that he is just looking for some woman to use for his personal gain. You're two options are not the only ones available. It sounds to me like he would like to have someone judge him for who he is rather than where he is right now.

I'm not suggesting that women should commit themselves to just any old broken schlump and/or bankroll some guy who won't carry his own , not at all, but it is possible to discern one who is motivated, responsible, and talented enough to have a great future from one who is just being a lazy slacker. There are plenty of very successful men who have experienced extreme hard times at some point in their lives. In fact, I think they are better men for having gone through something like that. The golden spoon guys have trouble comprehending that side of life and it's a handicap for them.

There are also plenty of successful men who are horrible liabilities as partners. No need to waste space listing many of the well-known examples. I think people should be judged for their qualities rather than for what one might get from them. That's what I think anyway.

Well my friend, allow me to be the bearer of great vision and endless hope. I admire your ability to lay your cards on the table, and admit what you consider to be your shortcomings in an effort to eliminate wasted time. I would rather know exactly what I'm stepping into than deal with surprises.

However, in your defense , because I know women can be ruthless, I must say that I would seek you out and date you in the blink of an eye. As a poet, a writer, and a woman with great vision and a huge destiny, I understand the struggle to find a person that I can meet minds with. As an artist, there is an entire dimension to my personality than a chemist or a city worker. We are overflowing with passion and abundant possibilities! To connect with someone on the spiritual, physical, and mental levels is important. I believe that God is ready and willing to provide exactly what you need, especially a woman that can support your dreams, aspirations and heart. You need a woman that will take the time to read what you've written , hear what you are speaking, and invoke passion to move you higher within yourself. As men and women, we are called to a higher place within each other. When you have that "one", chasing your dreams is much less illusive.

Shoot, I'd sit down and write the script with you, lol.

Don't worry my friend! What you have is not for all eyes to see! God has a woman specifically designed for you. "Just anyone" will not suffice. Also, keep in mind that a woman that sees you for who you really are, and will take the bus with you wherever you go...is a BAAAAAD Bi*ch!!!!! A woman must really know who she is to do what's classified by society as unacceptable, lol.

I'd get on the bus with you. And I drive a Jeep.

Ladies, take it easy on my brother! He is a good man! Can't read between the lines? Hmmmmmmm.... maybe it's YOU that's got the problem....????

Food for thought.

It's easy to retort with anger and criticism, but it takes great strength to offer a kind and prayerful return. It is not my intention to post on this subject and argue with my own kind. We are women! We are a fearfully and wonderfully made, and a tribe that can unite and uphold our men...whether they are our brothers, fathers, friends, children, etc...Why not learn how to embrace one another and say powerful and uplifting words, sing peaceful tunes....I am who I am. You are who you are. Let's be careful to reap what we care to get in return.

All I was saying in regard to my previous statement, is that when women are unable to fit the mold they'd desire to fit, they have a tendency to make up excuses...same thing for the fellas...but it does take an extraordinary, phenomenal woman to meet a man where he is at, and love him for who he is, not what he has. Sight is ocular, my friends. Vision is spiritual. I'd get on the bus with Armond any day.

For someone who says you don't want to argue with your own kind, you are making some sweeping generalizations.

Trust me when I tell you, it's not my lack of inability to fit a mold that makes this gentleman undesirable to me, but I have no problem with him being a fit for you.
I wish you much luck!

I am going to avoid commenting on your profile because I don't have time.

AVOID ALL CAPS LIKE THE PLAGUE.

You are on the wrong site. Learn business networking, and personal success will happen quickly.

Find out where the people whom you want to pitch congregate. Find out where the industry mixers are and go to them. Become friends with them. Genuine friends, not just a person on their lists. Don't pitch them for a few months. An opportunity will present itself later. "Oh, by the way, I have this neat little script. Do you mind taking a glance at it?"

Create a pro-level profile on sites like LinkedIn, TalentHunter and whatever others are appropriate for your industry. The more people you know in your industry, the faster you'll make it.

That's how you sell deals.

Cars are cheap. Thanks for not adding to air pollution.

P.S. To give you some perspective - I drive a hot convertible sports car during the day. When I go clubbing late at night, I take the bus because of parking and police nightmares where I go. :)

Your luck will improve if you stop mentioning bus rides as if it's something contemptible. Put an environmental spin on it. :) Frankly, I am deeply offended by your attitude.

I have a cousin who is working as an actor in LA. He is not the greatest but he loves what he does. He is taking care of his own business because he not only works in theater but also does voice over work, works with actors on marketing themselves and works at whatever job he can do that will be flexible with his audition and rehearsal schedules. He also works tirelessly to audition and works hard at his craft. That is much different than what the OP is describing. There are people who work to make their dreams come true and there are people who wait for someone to give them their dreams and b!tch and whine when it doesn't happen.


Great differentiation between your cousin and OP. Well said.

There is not one little thing supportive about a woman who is letting a user with his fantasies suck her dry. That's sick enabling or paying for a male prahstitute. If a woman feels true love and caring for a man she'll encourage him but not emasculate him by paying his way.
