I have studied some programs on picking up girls and I got pretty good at approaching women, but my issue is, I am really fed up with women always saying they want to meet a nice guy when the truth is the really beautiful women treat nice guys like suckers and prefer to date jerks. The girl I like keeps staying with some guy who keeps cheating on her, and every time he breaks her heart she comes running to me with her problems. So do nice guys always finish last, or is there hope for us?Dean Cortezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764068038653129695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404302351458508234.post-36783711257708969862010-06-09T12:46:27.822-07:002010-06-09T12:46:27.822-07:00Yes, we all admire you.Yes, we all admire you.Helen Bushnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177708490995175178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404302351458508234.post-52613479032135112112010-06-08T14:50:43.876-07:002010-06-08T14:50:43.876-07:00How can you be discouraged?

Your story really has inspired more people than you will ever know. As far as the perception that you are "incapable of functioning" since you don't have a car. Most people I know become literally (and symbolically) immobilized when they don't have access to a car. They simply don't function. They freak out, cancel plans, call in sick etc... It takes resilience and courage to do what you are doing, but more importantly, it's the act of an extremely capable person...just trying to live her lifeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404302351458508234.post-39587693154846197402010-06-05T09:43:05.861-07:002010-06-05T09:43:05.861-07:00you're a pioneer... a legend. an inspiration t...you're a pioneer... a legend. an inspiration to us all!Ruthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753817646596804281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404302351458508234.post-27962314280480971162010-06-04T18:38:52.497-07:002010-06-04T18:38:52.497-07:00Thanks, Kevin.

Sometimes it all boggles the mind - attitudes and perceptions, lack of transit service, and increasing traffic and accidents day by day between cyclists, pedestrians and cars. Sometimes it just all needs letting out in order to get to the next moment. Thank you for helping me feel a little less like I'm going crazy. :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807540258840190972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404302351458508234.post-26155166011308894372010-06-04T17:12:04.597-07:002010-06-04T17:12:04.597-07:00Hang tough... you're ahead of your time... it&...Hang tough... you're ahead of your time... it's the city that's behind the time. A lot of other cities are making accommodations for those that prefer to be carless. And I doubt you're an inconvenience to your friends who help you out with a ride from time to time (especially if you're chipping in for gas). And, when you're feeling discouraged, know that there are many of us who admire you for your carlessness.Kevinnoreply@blogger.com
