I actually think, with all of that and even after the Mueller report, that his transgressions and interference are overblown and that he's probably less corrupt than the last two presidents, and less corrupt than Hillary. The thing is, all of his corruption is in the open being blared on all media. That did not happen as much with Obama and Bush, who in my opinion both managed to do worse things. People talk about the Mueller report all the time like it's totally damning, but unless I missed something, the Russian interference in question was mostly making memes and propaganda for idiots on Facebook. Americans do the same and they're paid more for it, so I don't care. Past presidents have been a little more subtle with their dirty dealings.

Agree with this ^^^^^^

Disagree about people taking him seriously. Many do. Also, he has done quite a bit while in office.

Is this weird?

Perfectly normal.

Besides the physical, primal sort of thing that people have mentioned, there is the part of getting to know someone and learning from them that makes them more attractive.

You know, the guy who isn't so cute in your opinion, who works in the same place you do but in a different department....suddenly becomes more attractive when you meet him in a more personal setting: at a mutual friend's house for a party/dinner, and you begin to talk and then you realize that you enjoy the convo, etc...suddenly he's more cute and you just might flirt at work....and his response to that means you might go out on a date....etc.

Or you were just *****horny. Could be that, too ;)

If I gave you

If I were to say yes you would try to hold me to my promise, and that would refute your promise to ask nothing in return.

Brilliant reply

Also, I think that a person cannot give up all that they have and remain the same person. So maybe having "nothing left to give" makes you the type of person who would never give up all that you have.

Basically, we can all afford to give up things/pieces of ourselves, to help humanity as a whole. But we can't give up all of it, or we lose our essence (if we give up all of our hopes, desires, non tangible parts of who we are); and we lose our ability to be self sufficient (if we give up all of our material items...)

I must add that most CEO's and the uber rich/famous fall in the same category as those in politics.

I just have to say that I believe EVERYONE who is in politics is arrogant and crooked as they come. I think that maybe it doesn't happen right away, but it happens. I also think that the arrogance and crookedness is from small local governments all the way to the office of President.

I think that the profession either draws the scumbags, or the position makes people scumbags. Or both.

I can give examples of small local government corruption (DA's offices, sheriff's offices, school boards....INDIVIDUAL employees in those offices getting special treatment, etc) And think about this: When your local school board is corrupt and the individuals have special privileges....when money is used to purchase things for students/teachers, and it never goes to those folks....when there are MILLIONS of dollars of stored items that were used with the money provided, but schools have leaky roofs....when DA's get out of criminal charges/DUI's....when staff in those offices causes traffic crashes and never get tickets.....then realize that these examples are only at the LOCAL level and that the higher it goes, the more ability/opportunity for corruption.

At the state level, you have state senators who are so drunk they can't stand up, walking by the state cops who are there for protection, and allowed to drive, because the cops would lose their jobs over reporting said state senator. You have senators who assault these cops, verbally, physically, and sexually. If it does get reported, it goes nowhere. Some cops are corrupt, too, but they fall more in the local corruption ring. Most, though, are wanting to make a better world for people. When the cops are the victim of corruption, it's because they are interacting with state level reps who are corrupt, as part of their jobs.

All of these taxes that we pay; all of the laws that are restricting our freedoms (and we don't even realize it....); the money, power and influence that we give up is going to the "leaders" of our communities, states, and federal governments and is making people more and more corrupt and giving them bigger and bigger pockets.

Meanwhile, 1/4 of kids go hungry in this country; vets are suffering and/or homeless; many people are "food insecure;" people have to decide between eating and heat; and many are just leeching off the system, playing the game locally...those people are NEEDED so that the gov can "raise taxes, raise fees, hire more staff..." to "service those in need...." while much of that budget for new staff, new services...never sees those who need it. But the higher the number of people needing govt help, the more the govt gets involved and takes from everyone.

Now think about this: if there is so much corruption locally that it would make you sick, there's 100x more corruption state wide. And 1000x more corruption at the federal level. BUT. The USA is the wealthiest and strongest country to date. So imagine being in the federal govt in the USA....the corruption, by default and due to our power and influence, extends world wide.

IMO, it all needs overturned, but I don't want to go there.

Am I asking a question?

Poor girl has probably never seen an example of a healthy relationship. She shouldn't be dating anyone until she's gained some stability and self knowledge and knows what she wants and needs in a relationship and what she brings into it.

Agree 100%.

Even my son, who had a relatively stable (most of the time) upbringing, isn't "mature enough" or "self aware" enough to settle. It's fine that he dates; that's part of learning who you are and what you want.

Settling....not so much
