I am sooo bored.

All I do right now is post on the forum. I need to get out more but have been too afraid due to $$$ and am still gunshy. I wanted to go to the Colorado for Dean stuff today but didn't want to spend the money. I am going to the candidate fair tomorrow. I just need to get over what happened to me. With my date and for that matter the past year+. I feel like I am at least back on the right track, but I am still upset with where I am. If there is a God out there, I just want a few things. To get into graduate school, and come out on the other end with a good job. Bush and many other Republicans ousted this year, or at least by 2006. Would like to have a girl in my life. If that is not too much to ask, please.

Then politics. Third, the girl, or self-abuse if necessary. ;-)

education will make you so much more attractive to both employers and the opposite sex that it needs to be the no.1 priority

If you do an analysis of variance, using the usual sexual experience of the undergraduate male as your norm, you will likely find that that the greatest increase over the norm will be with the Statistics degree. Accountants are a dime a dozen -- and the profession isn't exactly held in the highest esteem right now!

And let's face it, grad school is a good place to meet women. An accounting dept. in a big corp. is probably NOT such a great place to meet brainy women.

A graduate degree in Statistics is rarer, and gives you entre into a broader career path -- i.e., polling, research, marketing, even operations research or maybe finance.

Or maybe political polling.

the education should come first.

The problem is, I have concentrated too much on my school work, which may have contributed to me not having a girlfriend. That and my confidence deficiency. Like I said, I am 24 and only had my first date two weeks ago with someone who bullshitted to get out of it. But that is another bowl of wax. Maybe I should just say screw it and not deal with women at all.

Like I've said before, maybe it's just Colorado, all the women here seem to be insane. Get yourself a Masters (if not better) and then see where you stand. I guarantee that the degree will last longer than any woman who all of a sudden decides to give you the time of day because you get into post-graduate school

Yeah, I have noticed that women tend to be really wierd here, but I have lived here my whole life pretty much. Why do you think that it is so much worse in Colorado than it is anywhere else, like Seattle, L.A., New York, Chicago or D.C.? What is your experience. Maybe it would explain why my experiences have sucked so much.

Aurora, to be exact. And I don't know what it is about this state, every woman here seems to be insane. The ones you want to like you don't, and the ones you could do without seem to hang on you. Maybe it's something in the air, but the most "normal" girlfriend I've ever had, had two lesbian parents...nuff said.

Every woman that I showed interest in gave me the cold shoulder. On the flip side, I could tell you about a couple of girls that seemed interested in me that I was not interested in.

One of them was nice enough but was really dull and I just wasn't attracted to her. All she ever talked about was her horse. She also spoke with no inflection. That should tell you something.

Another pretty much wanted to run my life. I tried to be nice but she was an immature little brat from Romania who was a few years older than me. After putting up with her antics for a year, I tore her a new one and she left me alone.

It's something in the air. The desirable girls don't desire you back, and the crazy ones fall all over you. As soon as I figure out the secret formula (besides turning into a gigantic ass) I'll let you in on it.

I don't think that anybody will figure that out soon. For me, I just don't know if it matters. I keep getting the feeling that women must hate me or something.

I'm also 24, going (back) to school, and I think that all women must have my name on a list somewhere, but the only advice I can give you is to keep trying. Sometimes you have to pick through a lot coal until you find that diamond in the rough. Me? I'm still sorting out the coal.

I am getting involved with Democratic party meetups and Denver Young Democrats also Colorado Young Democrats. I wouldn't mind meeting someone. THough the big rule is never ever join any group (especially a political one) because you want to hook up. I have made that mistake to an extent. That was not the only reason I was in groups in the past, but the desire played into my actions some. I will not make that mistake again. Nevertheless, I would not mind meeting someone at these things.

the trick is to find something else you feel passionate about, then engage in that activity. I guarantee you that someone of the opposite sex will see that passion and be impressed. For me, it's music, then school, then politics...kinda hard to be a gung-ho democrat in Colorado, but where would the world be without hopeless cases like us?

It is good to be able to talk about ones politics without having to worry that the other person will blow up and call you unpatriotic. I would just stay away from Colorado Springs with this attitude. Besides, I am gung ho about getting rid of Bush.

I am also happy that in 2006 we will lose Governor B.O.


BTW, where do you go to school? I am going part time to CU Denver and will pursue my grad degree there.

to be able to discuss one's political beliefs without some freeper incident, but you can't find a relationship there. Branch out to other things, Colo. Springs isn't really my neighborhood, but there is the Air Force Academy there. Maybe something that appeals to the women in uniform...

I guess you try to take it one day at a time. THough, I have not really found a place to meet women. Like you said there must be something in the air or water. Sometimes I wonder if leaving would solve my problems. I kind of doubt it because you need to change yourself, not just your location.

BTW. What school do you go to? Just curious. I saw you post about some girl and you were talking about a school. Where do you go?

but I used to go to UNC Greeley, I found a LOT of liberals there especially in the theater and music departments, and one captured my heart, but I was too afraid/stupid to captialize on it. Damned regrets.

The problem is ultimately, we probably have different ideologies, albiet similar values. Even some of those may have been different.

There was actually one girl that I could have had if I wasn't so gutless. She was really smart and intoxicatingally beautiful. She came up behind me once, put her hands on my shoulders. I did not know what was going on so I tried looking back. Then she started rubbing my shoulders and doing a damn good job before sitting down to talk. On one hand, I think that it would not have worked out. On the other hand, I feel like an idiot for not pursuing her because I was too busy wallowing in self-pity.

Although not so black and white. If only I'd not been such a coward when it came to my "one that got away" I could have been blissfully happy, and maybe graudated when I was suppose to. As it stands, I just tried to learn from the experience as much as possible, then move on. You can only dwell on the past for so long.



on a side note: I just found out the Av's lost tonight, so I'm going to bed. Man, this is a strange night.

She wishes that she did it. The thing is she tells me how there are more accounting jobs than stats jobs. I say yeah and there are more accountants than statisticians.

THe other thing she said that I would fit in better in accounting since I am NOT a Type A personality. I am not a type A btw. She said that statisticians would be expected to be more Type A than accountants. I am inclined to disagree. When you go into the business world you are expected to be type A much more so than the more scientific fields.

I am leaning towards Stats since I got my undergrad in Math.

was so hard it wasn't funny. And this was an elementary statistics course, too. I admire your choice of mathematics. That's not an easy field of study.

It was hell for me to get my undergrad sometimes. All of that homework and studying for tests and stressing.

Good times! :-)
