- Don't all crowd up at once! Yours Truly ever remains a most sensitive and highly creative individual with whom anyone ought to be eager and jump at the friendly invitation to collaboration. Alas, as G. E. Moore contends: “You can't get an ‘is’ from an ‘ought’!”

Unmet friend: You should never make a move without consulting me first. Because I will always have some or other response that no one else ever would imagine. I do not know how to succeed socially, especially not on my own terms. But I do know how to be a very good friend. It's in my nature. But that might not unfold organically, just spontaneously going with the flow. Indeed, it might become necessary to show more competent initiative together, and make any effort to stay in touch deliberately, indeed possibly much as one might do for anything one way or another even conceivably howsoever important to one's career. But I'm worth it! And so are you.
Are you a value maximizer? Loners are better and more loyal friends because loners are less clinging and lower maintenance, individually unique and interesting, unsocialized and nonconformist, scintillating conversationalists, profound emotionally and intellectually, problem solvers who think about what we want to say instead of just blurting things out, deliberative, argumentative, tactful. It is said that what women seek is someone to make them feel emotions. Well then, never fear, for one way or another, I do seem to have that effect upon people! I am a man who knows what he wants without maddening ambivalence.
Short term Eros or long term agape? -you may ask. But what a silly question! Why must one choose?! As if one even could!
I am undeniably unique and original. I am transparent, accessible and approachable, warm, intense, lecherous, engaging, challenging, original, memorable, observant, perceptive, imaginative, capable of unusual creative connection of multiple seemingly unrelated ideas, meaningfully, with superior reasoning, experimental perspective of trial and error, abstract conceptualization and problem solving, both convergent and divergent thinking, pattern recognition, high intelligence, highest verbal ability, depth, content, advanced comprehension and insight. What you see is what you get. But that depend upon where you stand. Evident as may be my wit and sterling character, up close and personal, more often I find myself judged by my somewhat unimpressive station in life: And yet I score high on the 15 signs of trustworthiness.
Like Ambrose Bierce: "Friendless. Having no favors to bestow. Destitute of fortune. Addicted to utterance of truth and common sense." I am bullied! I am a bum like Socrates! -an underachiever, a failure! -A serial failure, once again back square one with nowhere to go. Indeed, I have seen defeat grasped from the jaws of victory! And more than once. At least four times in my life, business associates and partners often making promises they had no intention of keeping, by sheer passive aggression actually undermined and sabotaged my efforts of their behalf in making connections and raising significant capital for their business startups. Those who'd rather have all of nothing, than part of something, are the hunter-killers of success even of whatever their own greatest innovation and potential!
Are people actually so terrified of being seen with me, that no cherished dream, no possible achievement and actually no amount of start up money at stake can ever tempt them? Why might that be? These promising new ventures, these grand ideas and their would-be creators, all sank without so much as a trace. Sadder but wiser, I learned from bitter experience to press more pointed questions from the beginning.
Alas how I find myself so woefully ill equipped: In every walk of life, my talent and ambitions, my emotional intelligence and relationship needs, all may often be shown by far advanced of my somewhat less formidable and poorly organized social dexterity. I am experienced with the hard lessons repeated failure, indeed even defeat snatched from the very jaws of victory! I am a loser. And I'll be a loser until I finally meet with greater success. I am a reject. And I will be a reject until I ever find greater acceptance.
Seeking, always, happiness with: "a partner in crime."
