Lololol. If he ever manages to get into a CS program at a legit school, he'll probably just quit within a year anyways. I'm still waiting to see his alleged 150 pound bench press.

Yeah he'll quit because of [insert some random pitty excuse, probably blame the teacher]

I'm actually on a happy streak right now. ~10-14 hours a day at the lab for the last five days, and it felt great accomplishing stuff and not having free time to pace the floor entertaining deranged and suicidal thoughts. TridenT, maybe you're like me and just need people to push you to be productive to be happy.

EDIT: btw, in my experience, spending time with women in a work context makes me not care about finding a girlfriend. I recommend that you switch your major to biology or something, work in some research lab undoubtedly filled with hot women, be sexually frustrated for one hour, then discover that you can talk to them freely about your studies and classes and that you don't really need them (or friends in general) outside of work.

I saw it coming. I was just waiting for its arrival. Again, I wasn't worried then. Unfortunately, I didn't expect Seattle to turn out to be such a shit hole. I figured that was I was seeing at that moment was just 'some' of Seattle. A small portion, you know? Nope... I was wrong on that. I had high hopes (people made it sound at least as good as Portland if not way better in many ways), but they were dashed by reality...

What ARE your priorities then?

Wimmens. It's always been that. Always. Ever since I can remember it has been that. (Serious)

Right there in your own words you said you're broke. Broke means money in = money out. As for me, I've been living on my own for the last 2 years. I understand perfectly how cost of living works. Salary - taxes - benefits - rent & utilities - bills= disposable income. Disposable income - savings = play money. Unlike you, I have enough play money to actually have fun.

Once again, critical think that bitch.

I might be using broke in the wrong sense then. I just say broke when I don't have much or any disposable income (or if I've just spent a significant amount of savings). And really, it's only because I'm not given full time employment at my job currently (I actually get less money now than if I was just in school). I might get full time later this summer. (My supervisor thinks I will likely)

I can decrease my savings and spend more every month, but then I wouldn't be able to buy nice things like that lens.

Hey! I'd never blame the teacher for my inability to bench 150lbs.

Oh, and I will do the 150lb bench sometime soon. I've been pretty down recently and so I didn't hit up the gym much this week. I'll probably feel better next week. I was also not eating or drinking before going to the gym. So, as you can imagine... it was hard to work out. But, hey, I didn't eat for like 10 hours today until I got into the Portland area. I'm improvin'.

Your priorities are all fucked up. Focus on graduating on time and getting a good career going. Then the women will come. You will need to develop a thicker skin because you will get eaten alive once you hit the real world (at least in my industry).

Unhappy because I broke things off with the girl that I was dating because she was being whack.

Fortunately, it means I have more time to focus on myself and get my personal shit in order. Too bad though, she was fucking hot.

I'm not really sure what you're wanting from women to be honest. In some posts, it seems like you're looking for a serious relationship; in others, you say you don't want to get married until after you're 30 (which I commend you for, by the way) so that paints a picture of someone who doesn't want a serious relationship and just wants to fool around. Yet you say you don't fool around.

Let me give you some advice even though I know it will fall on deaf ears. You're what --21 or so? This is the time in life when you should be building the foundation so that when you're in your late 20s and early 30s, you won't have to worry about things like money, a job, etc. To build that foundation, you need to pick a major (make sure it is one you really like but has good employment prospects) and finish it. While you're doing it, keep trying to meet women if for no other reason to get experience. Now, I read that your experience thus far seems to be with what you consider boring or shallow women. Remember, they're in their late teens/early 20s and many probably are like that; however, keep looking and also consider that it may be YOU who needs to expand his horizons a little bit.

lol...ok...there's a reason people talk up Seattle quite a bit and it's not because it's a shit hole. You're making it a shit hole. I grew up in Oregon and moved up here so I've seen both. Your perspective is skewing your reality.

A serious relationship does not mean you will get married in the end. Just because I'm looking for a serious relationship does not mean I plan on getting hitched with the person. If that pans out to be the case, then I guess I got really lucky. However, I wouldn't ever marry until I was 30. So, if I found a girl now then she'd have to wait about 8-9 years before I'd marry her.

A serious relationship just means I really rather look for someone who is a little bit longer term, committed, invested, and exclusive than any flake in the cesspool. More or less. I'm sure I've skipped a lot, but you probably know what I mean.

And yes, it's hard to find girls like that around my age. Especially in Seattle. The age range I look for is 21-24 and it's hard to find people interested in something serious at that age.

I've met a lot of people from Oregon as well who moved to Seattle. A lot of them think it's a shit hole. Mostly because of the people too.

Very few people who moved from other cities are like, "Yeah Seattle is so awesome, blahblahblah." The only ones who say that are usually very outdoorsy types. I don't go outdoors much. I have quite severe pollen allergies. (It can be year around if I go into a very outdoorsy place. It doesn't matter if it's raining even.)

OK. Our experiences are very different...we must meet very different types of people which honestly doesn't surprise me.

That's not always a bad thing...I was in a serious relationship from 19-26 or so and is one of the things I regret the most about my time @ UW.

Again, I am not you. I am not interested in casual relationships.


And yes I meet different people than you. I meet a lot of people that are not from Seattle. And really it's probably just that I meet more people than you. A lot of people you meet are probably individuals that are settled into Seattle. I meet a lot of people who have been here for two years or less. Usually they leave within that time frame.

Relationships are a waste of time, go do something fun like code a game or a Linux distro or make something cool with Arduino like a robot. A girl will just get in the way of doing fun things like that.

I get the feeling that after their fellow resident, Trident, everybody starts thinking that they live in a shithole.

Honestly you will probably never be happy. Get used to that fact and deal with it. Any happiness you experience will be short lived. Then you return to feeling empty and unhappy. Having a relationship or a career/money will not change that in the long run. Some people are wired wrong. Sounds like you're one if them.
