That's usually the response I get. &lt;br&gt;And yes , I would say that I will go to college . I live in Australia. But I am a dual national so I could study and live in the US.&lt;br&gt;But what to study and how to get to that point is a dilemma in itself . &lt;br&gt;I've just got back to Sydney 3 weeks ago from being in the UK for 35 days. I don't really want to be here . But the weather is so much better in Sydney I don't know if I could forfeit my summer to go back London now .&lt;br&gt;I seem to always meet the same people here and I don't have much to do during the week .&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">tayloramorgan</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:01:13 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: What Women Really Want From Men</title><link>http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2009/10/14/relationshipstrategies/women-an-instruction-manual/#comment-20408144</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Yes , putting effort into your appearance is smart. It  certainly gets me attention from the more attractive men. And if you saw some women before they get made up you'd certainly understand. Lucky for me I don't have to put much make up on to look my best . Mostly some mascara saves me from getting asked for ID. But a lot of women do need a good make up job to look their best. It takes me maybe 15 minutes to get ready if I've already done my hair which is a mass of curls that only needs attention every three days.&lt;br&gt;But if you saw the before and after of most women you'd be more appreciative .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Penises may not be magical but they are certainly delightful or at least amusing :-).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I do look appealing in a turtle neck . But probably because it makes me look look even more well endowed.  Go figure .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And girls , men will find you attractive in your casual cargo pants if you are feminine enough not to look like a boy when you put them on. &lt;br&gt;I've even had a "Wow , you look hot moment." In converse , cargos and a polo shirt . &lt;br&gt;Maybe it was really a "Wow. You don't look so intimidating and high maintenance." moment though. Or a you look like we can enjoy sports together now thing ..&lt;br&gt;But still , the point is he was impressed .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And yes I would so go you if you recognised my intellect and appreciated it . But only if you were on my level too. &lt;br&gt;I don't find it appealing if some guy says . "Wow...you think too much." If I casually observe the reason dinner is taking an hour and a half to arrive . It's more like .."You don't think enough.." &lt;br&gt;Never calling you back....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And yes if I had been with someone for a few years and were married I'd still like to hear that he still feels like their is noone else he could feel so strongly about . &lt;br&gt;I don't know who you're married to but she sounds like one of those people from the middle ages that thinks gay is a mental health issue or something. Or perhaps isn't all that into you and is therefore apathetic?&lt;br&gt;But I think you were just exaggerating.&lt;br&gt;I know plenty of married women who would still like to hear that they are number one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don't expect most men to ask me for advice for a lot of things. Mostly because I don't think I'd have the answer to alot of them . But there are some things that women know best . Or that YOUR woman might know best :-).  &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">tayloramorgan</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 19 Oct 2009 06:38:53 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: What Women Really Want From Men</title><link>http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2009/10/14/relationshipstrategies/women-an-instruction-manual/#comment-20207724</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Ok Rick . I agree with you . It's so true for a lot of women.&lt;br&gt;To be honest , if I were to play the game ,so to speak, I could have all three . But I don't like always being self controlled or controlling .&lt;br&gt;And I don't think a man who is loaded is necessary for me because I plan to be entirely self sufficient . Especially if I were planning to have children . I don't believe in leaving those things to chance . &lt;br&gt;But on the other hand , if a man is a self made or at least capable of not losing most of what was handed to him then it's a good sign he can look after himself and has his wits about him . &lt;br&gt;But I do need someone I find attractive and who treats me well but is also fun to be with . I've got lots of energy and need someone who can keep up !&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">tayloramorgan</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:36:55 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Are You Too Smart to Date?</title><link>http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2009/03/03/hookinguprealities/are-you-too-smart-to-date/#comment-20204055</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Ok so I don't agree with no. 1 . I'm one of the unusual ones. My father is very intelligent but hasn't really been a great influence on my life since I was 4 . My parents (mother /stepfather) are average to above average unfortunately not really on my level. I have been incredibly socially awkward over the years. I'm reaching a level of normalcy but when that "chemical imbalance" isn't stabilised I start to revert into my immature self . Sorta like being mildly intoxicated all the time . And then some more at other times ....&lt;br&gt;My mother places huge emphasis on how "smart" I am without factoring in all the other complications . Not going into that. &lt;br&gt;Point is , I feel like an underachiever but alienated from the majority of "peers" because I generally don't get them and they don't get me. &lt;br&gt;I don't feel that awkward with the opposite sex because I know , for good or bad depending on how you look at it, my looks will pull me through most situations .&lt;br&gt;It also means that alot of the time I don't have the men that can provide for stimulating conversation approach me . I'm only 18 but I do forget that I'm so young . I've been living in an adult world since I was 13-14 by virtue or vice of the modeling/entertainment industry . My social circle is mostly , though not completely compiled by "beautiful people" and those that cater for them and yes some of them really are beautiful people but most of them make for dull conversation.&lt;br&gt;Yes I am getting in the way of my own relationship success but not by any of those things that were mentioned. &lt;br&gt;And I totally agree with no. 5!&lt;br&gt;Sure you can love them for what they offer . . . As love as it can keep you satisfied . There's no way of getting around it . You'll have to find someone in that 5% . I might lower it to 7% but anymore and there's no chance of it lasting . &lt;br&gt;I'm with you completely on this one collegegirl.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I guess what I want to know is where I can find a smart man that is aware of himself and comfortable with himself and is at least reasonably attractive and sanitary?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">tayloramorgan</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:41:22 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 20 Reasons You Don&amp;#8217;t Have a Boyfriend</title><link>http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2009/09/28/relationshipstrategies/20-reasons-you-dont-have-a-boyfriend/#comment-20200321</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I don't seem to be able to find anybody really interested in me . Yet I can say , and I'm not suffering from self delusions that I am not any of those things numbered . &lt;br&gt;To be more precise . I am no. 5 but only to people I'm trying to ward off . &lt;br&gt;And yes I am picky . But I know what I want , and I don't want to start something that is almost definitely going to end soon after because I dropped my standards and am now dissatisfied with that person. That being said , I don't ignore any man on the basis of his looks alone . But if the personality isn't right or suitable , it's just going to grate on both  parties in the relationship. &lt;br&gt;I learnt that from not being picky enough. &lt;br&gt;I've sounded ditzy . I've said some really stupid and nonsensical things. Never intentionally though. Sometimes impulse just takes hold . Oops. But it hasn't happened very often .&lt;br&gt;I've totally been aggressive . But in a way where I assert that I am allowed to have my own opinion . I don't think I've ever made the first move really . &lt;br&gt;I probably talk about myself too much . But I'm very caring and generous at the same time . &lt;br&gt;I do love my shopping and getting dressed up but I'm a very cheap date . I don't really eat seafood or expensive cuts of meat and I don't drink alcohol . And most of my male friends and all that I've dated in the past have actually told me that they appreciate I'm not : jealous , unreasonable , "golddigger"  , easy to talk to ....whatever!&lt;br&gt;I'm an attractive woman both physically and personably .&lt;br&gt;So what is it that makes me thoroughly undateable ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">tayloramorgan</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:36:21 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Intimacy Lite, A Product Not Worth Buying</title><link>http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2009/05/29/hookinguprealities/intimacy-lite-a-product-not-worth-buying/#comment-20198379</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I'm thinking perhaps that you don't see any upsides because you have close gf's that will fulfill the dinner date and whinge at role . What about we lonely creatures who have lots of "friends" but not any who have the time for us most weeks? &lt;br&gt;Even we who have close friends that still don't have the time because they are running businesses and relationships and social commitments for their lives as well?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes I get to the point where I think anything is better than nothing if I enjoy their company . And if I know it's not going anywhere I'll just have to deal with it when it ends because a distraction and affection is what I need to keep going .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's funny though .&lt;br&gt;Without being conceded , I know I'm a very attractive woman because I'm reminded of it all the time . Old ladies at the grocer . Casting agents and stylists.&lt;br&gt;And I know I'm a very kind hearted person. I'm friendly and I'm intelligent . &lt;br&gt;But it seems never to be enough . &lt;br&gt;Why is that?&lt;br&gt;I don't sleep around but I'm not a prude and most people I've dated aren't even close to being in the same friendship groups or communities so it's not because I've been labeled "easy".&lt;br&gt;The fact is , most attractive men largely ignore me . &lt;br&gt;I get a great deal of attention but rarely from anyone not trashed or sleazy or just unsanitary ....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you have any suggestions as to why this may be?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">tayloramorgan</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:59:51 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
