Dude I totally agree. Just recently I was having lunch with friend of mine and I noticed so many girls were on my jock. I told her that we should have lunch more often cuz of the attention I was getting. I'm actually trying to put together a strip club night with her and some other friends. I think showing up to a strip club with a bunch of girls would seriously raise my stock price with the strippers. I also got friends that think they need money and a nice car the get a girl. I try to tell them its more about just being yourself and not trying so hard but they just dont get it.
Imagine that. Girls like real talk instead of some fake jive ass bullshit lol Anyways. The only goal I've ever really felt passionate about is publishing a book. I'm in the process of writing one now and I think at this point I'll be pretty happy if I just finish it. Edit: I do also have small daily goals I set for myself and I don't allow myself any fun until I accomplish them so I guess I am fairly goal oriented on a more micro level.
I became totally independent and relied only on myself at the age of 19. I've remained happily married for almost 15 years. I became self employed almost 3 years ago.
I've been to the Taj Mahal, the Galapagos, Easter Island and Machu Picchu, four places I wanted to visit when I was a kid.
My goal was to do as well as my parents without the help from them. I have fended for myself with and without a man in my life many times and I managed to work for myself, before and again now. It's not easy being your own boss anymore then having one who is a bitch, haha. My goal now is to make sure I have a comfortable and hopefully early retirement. Have been working on it for years and I already know it can happen at the rate I have been working on it but I fear something interferes with it still because we don't know what our deck of cards could pull up later. Now I am single but with a boyfriend and I am doing ok in a city where people claim it's too hard to live. I have reached many of my goals but I will say luck had lots to do with it as well as keeping my eyes wide open.
Driving across Canada on my motorcycle. 3 years ago I left with a buddy of mine and headed to the most eastern point and back to where I live (ottawa-ish). Last summer I headed west by myself and then back through the states. I'm very proud of myself for accomplishing this.
The answer to that lies in, Will SallySmart go on a date with me? If yes, has a boyfriend, is single, if no, has a boyfriend, not single.
I think as I've got older, the types of goals I set for myself have changed. I had all kinds of things I wanted to accomplish when I was younger and I did most of those things. But now it seems like the things I'm working towards are more....selfish...for lack of a better term. More to do with my own physical and mental accomplishments that are just for my own enjoyment. I don't think that's really a bad thing....I only have one daughter left at home. I think it's kind of natural for my interests and goals to shift.
Sometimes I really, really forget all I've accomplished. I'm not going to go through it, but I've overcome some serious boundaries. I still have a lot to go. When it comes to a lot of my goals, I sabotage myself or I'll meet the first goal and then I get scared. I am afraid of success, in a way. I'll meet one milestone and then just back away from it completely. Avoid, come back to it and have to start back over, so it's like I keep defeating my own self-confidence over and over again, but also destroying it immediately afterwards. I am definitely my own worse enemy...but at the same time, there are some things that I've accomplished that have been so much a part of my life that I forget how big of an accomplishment it was to get to where I am today. I was at some point the type of person who was addicted to success in a way and I would do things just for the sake of saying I did it. I could accomplish everything I wanted. It was great for my ego, but I wouldn't follow through, but all I wanted was just to win. I set some wild crazy goals and achieved things that seemed impossible, but I've always been a dreamer. I'm at the point now, a little older and more mature where my goals are more grounded and I'm working on things that are totally realistic, but that are still a challenge and very important to me. I still have a few really big goals I want to achieve, but I'm looking at all the smaller things I have to do to get to this place where I feel like I'm really going to achieve those things and commit.

I know this is a cliché thing to say, but I'm pretty sure it is confidence. Well, if you have the good looks you don't really need the confidence so much. I'd say it's confidence > looks > money I mean the money will get you bitches, just like having cocaine will get your dick sucked by hoes, but at the end of the day the bitches weren't actually attracted to you, and the hoes didn't really want to suck your cock.
Confidence comes into play but so does trust and pleasantness. You have to be fun or interesting or funny, creative or honest or persuasive, a good communicator either verbal or otherwise and you have to be happy, content or nonchalant enough to not be unpleasant to be around. Women have a big enough imagination to make up for a lot of flaws in a man, you just need to have a basic foundation of not extremely uncomfortable to be around. If all you can do is apologize for everything you do, that's unattractive and uncomfortable. What men don't realize is that women are so generous that we are willing to fill in a lot of cracks in the story if you can just make us feel good for a little while. If you're a genuine person and you can keep that up, make us feel secure, and we actually have some things in common...you've won the game. It really is pretty easy. I should've been a man.
