Read this: http://www.livejournal.com/users/karnythia/416490.html -- in which the government informs us, among other things, that no one likes a smart girl.

Seethe.

Take my poll. (Btw, LJ polls drive me crazy, because I want to do a lot of "if, then, skip to" etc., but I can't. So these things aren't just unscientific, but sloppy. But doing it made me feel better. I apologize if I left out the answer you wanted, I try really hard to be inclusive in these things, but live and learn, also, hi, at work and distracted.).


[Poll #632346]

But we're all in the unnecessary pissiness together!

Er, not necessarily. My pissiness has a bit to do with how even though this poll was written as a reaction to the material, in many ways it is a direct reflection of the material, but unacknowledged. You were OK with not differentiating from the original material in saying that the only needs that matter are the needs that can be met within the context of a relationship. Which seems to be reinforced by the way you phrased the last question - you only want the input of those who have succesfully found a relationship or those who didn't fail because they were never trying.

And for that matter, do you really believe most people are that self-aware, to truly understand what their needs are?

I just *flaps hands distractedly*, I get frustrated when I see what looks like a badly formed reaction to things like this. And nicotine withdrawl, not making it better.
