I just read this on a 23 year old sub's profile... "If I wanted to impress you, I would do anything... anything."

I bet this person would be lost if they were asked to simply be themselves.

Judging from other things this person says on their profile (mostly alluding to how men would find her irresistible, and how much she has to offer - despite failing to iterate even one of those things), I would classify this person as "all show and no substance."

Sadly, in a state where the majority of people are undereducated, the only tool one has with which to appeal to others is the physical.  Perhaps I'm mistaken, however; perhaps a simple (and shallow) mind appeals to similarly shallow men. Assuming arguendo that I'm correct, what is the possible final outcome of said situation?  I dare to posit that it leads to nothing more than a short-term shallow fling, since there's nothing substantive holding it together.

Is that, in and of itself, okay?  Yes... for we all learn through our experiences, and for most of us, it's easier to discover what we don't want than what we do want.  In other words, experience adds diversity to our knowledge base.  Such diversity is good, when it leads to better choices in the future.  However, sadly enough, many of us learn from our past mistakes yet fail to change our thinking patterns... and thus end up repeating those same mistakes.  No wonder this community is like a revolving door of velcro collars.

What can we do to change this pattern, and to thus better the world of those around us? Unfortunately, not much... ignorance is a difficult thing to conquer.  Therefore, the best we can do is seek someone of our own caliber, and not lower our standards.
