Do they think:
"This man followed every rule. School, College, Uni. He did what he was told by society. Good for him!"
or
"This man broke all the rules! I could never afford that. How can you achieve so much without cheating or manipulating others? How do I look compared to him?"
When you hear someone hate on you as a man, or shame you as a woman, for living an abundant life, what do you really think is going through their mind?
"He must be manipulating these poor women! They only want his money!"
Or
"I could never have that life... I don't understand how that works.
People are MUCH more self absorbed than you think.
They don't care about YOU, but rather how you make THEM feel...
When we can't "make sense" of something, can't wrap our minds around it... That is when we get frustrated and upset.
If people are not happy to see you thriving, it is because they are barely surviving. They are not living up to their egos. Because hate doesn't come from above.
I have found it VERY insightful to see who appreciates you, who's opinions you should value, and to know who sees you as a threat to their ego by just being honest in everything I do in life.
Don't associate with the hate.
Let the haters HATE while we CREATE!
If you have any stories about people not accepting your big family tell us how you overcame the situation.
Apparently I write too much when i send a multi paragraph introduction. I have no idea with the huge number of poly ie swinger hedonist types that are here vs woman seeking plural marriage, if it will make any difference. I guess I should limit myself to 3-4 lines and leave it be.
Will have to give that a try and see if it makes a difference.
Would appreciate some feedback from the woman who read through the blogs about what sort of introduction gets their attention. Well, positive attention.
You should start watching the signs so you don't get played or just plain disappointed.
* Messaged you out of nowhere but never looked at your profile
* Has just created the ad today but has several new "friends" all within just a few minutes
* Profile details don't remotely match photo. My favorite was the pale blond blue eyed native American from Nigeria
-feel free to add other obvious signs
Stop being suckered.
If you stop being an easy mark to these leeches then maybe it will cease to be such a target. At very minimum, you will not feel like a prize dumba** for getting played.
