Clothes make the man

[eridanus]

Man it makes a difference. I'm an attractive guy, but I've noticed that despite that, if i dress boring and blend in with, say, your typical walmart shopper, I get ignored anyway.

It depends on the context. Being scruffy and dirty is accepted in the backcountry or on a rockface, at least to outdoorsy woman. In the city, though, you are sadly correct - the right shoes make more of a difference than I usually care to admit.

But a gold chain? Az, say it ain't so!

Do you have any other suggestions for neck jewelry Eridanus? I"m actually interested in this today, because it was just recent that I sort of got onto myself for being so lazy with my dress. So just recently ive really worked on it, and i'm in the process of buying a few nice things to help.

I just figured a bare neck probably isnt as good as maybe a nice chain. I'm also thinking of buying a nice Movado watch too. I just have a swiss army one now.

There's an online personality disorder test somewhere on the internet and i scored very high on narcissisism, but I think its more a test for fun.  Ive read more detailed writeups on the disease, and I dont think i'm pathological or anything; I just show some tendancies here and there.  I hide it well in RL so it isnt a problem (granted, if i'm remembering right, that's another trait, lol).

Well, if i can average those, i'm a pretty normal guy;  average is 42, heh.  But the combination of high Antisocial (disorder) and Narcissistic probably isnt a good thing, lol.

swiss army watches just scream "serial killer." If you wear a Movado, you might as well just tattoo "I am gay" on your forehead.

Accuracy:

I guess I am a little bit on the lack of empathy side myself. If the DW dumps me or dies ahead of me, I will go with the Euro look since Azanon assures me it will help get me laid. But no gold chains.

Oh, my sides are killing me.

So where's that place in the forums where we archive classic threads?

And ReWahoo - where do you come up with those links

Hmmm, my results:

Obsessive-Compulsive |||||||||||| 42% 40%

Schizoid, huh? I suppose this is vaguely comforting: "Author Note:I don't think Schizoid personality is a valid disorder (read), some of the smartest people in history were schizoid because they occupied a remote end of the intelligence bell curve. Schizotypal personality can encompass highly original thinkers as well as totally insane people so I think it's a flawed type."

But the description does, in fact, ring a bell: "Schizoid Personality Disorder - individual generally detached from social relationships, and shows a narrow range of emotional expression in various social settings."

You can consider your active participation on this forum to be therapy. Pretty soon we will turn you into a party animal. But please keep up the financial interests - your posts are good.

I'm fine with small groups, but having to "work a room" is really too much for me. I am too much of an introvert.

 

[unclemick]

Schizoid - about 70% as I recall taking the test yesterday.

Also INTJ, left handed, a former lab rat. Working a room is beyond me also.

heh heh heh heh - pretty boring on the other stuff. BTW - anyone mailing in estimated tax payments before midnight?

Interesting test. I guess I agree with the results. I
hope the author is right that "schizoid" should not be
a disorder.
