Argh! She beat me to it! To be honest, when I first looked at your painting I thought: Ok, two people painted this. The folds in the curtains are just top motch, I just really like it. But the face of the man is really subpar with what you did with the curtains. It looks like it was painted by someone who just started (as opposed to the curtains). I don't know what happened really, maybe you were short on time and had to rush the face or maybe anatomy is your weakness, but to quite frank (as I've mentioned beforehand), I too would have been disappointed by the final result. I don't mean that the whole thing is bad, but I'm a bit surprised you were satisfied with the face considering how well done other aspects of the paintings are. I hope you'll be intelligent about his reaction. i.e. I hope you won't put the blame on him. Looking forward to see more of your stuff and kudos on being open minded and lot limiting yourself to comments like: ''YOU ARE SO AWEZOMMMMMM!'' which are not really useful when you want to get better at pretty much anything.

I'd like to give you some critique but it won't be nice and flattering although I can assure you it will be honest. Let me know if you'd like to read them.

Well, if those statements are indeed true, like you say they are, this makes you quite a unique phenomenon. I think most people pay a little importance to appearances, but I have never met any who just were completely detached. That for me is a spirtual feat beyond wonder. Considering the nature of your reply, I think I might´ve insulted you when referring to honesty. I am sorry you took it that way, really. Hm... you haven´t been lucky with your dates. I have yet to meet one person who doesn´t believe in anything. I find that people who´s main interests revolve around clubs sometimes lack the backbone to accept their individuality. As if being abnormal about that point would break their back. I find, however, that if you push things a little forward and explore their universe, who they are, then, you find that they do believe in things. One of my good friend is big on clubs, one night stands and getting drunk. He does have a good heart however, is very generous and have lots to offer. Right on for your complete detachment. I´m sorry you were insulted in me doubting your beliefs. Like I said, lots of people pay minimal attention to appearance, but complete detachment is something, indeed, very rare. Omega Man

Oh please. C´mon, don´t tell me seriously believe that everyone is attractive. Please, for the sake of rationality, please admit that this statement is false.
-
Darkblue I agree with you. I believe there´s a question of honesty here. I think the morally correct thing to say is that appearances aren´t important. But beauty is one important component of relationships. I completely agree with you. I´m sorry but I don´t believe people who are completely detached from appearances. I think they refuse to admit this little part of them who is superficial.
-
Again, I beg to differ. They both go hand in hand, although I would certainly agree one is more important than the other. To each´s own, we just have different taste. I admire your determination to see beyond appearances. For me, however, it is important, although I find most women attractive. Omega

I don´t believe in contradictions. I you are not doing something, it´s because you have a very good reason to keep doing it. Figure out why you want to go so fast, andyou will figure out your own solution. Best of Luck. Omega

Getting practice certainly helps. I say follow your gut feeling as well. Immerse yourself in social environment, and you will soon figure out how it all works out. Here´s one piece of advice: People are people. It may sound silly, but remember that we´re all alike deep down, despite our differences. Practice, practice, practice! Omega
-
Hmm.. I disagree with that. Physical appearance does play an important role. What I meant is that if you have someone who is attractive and they turn out to be cultured and intelligent, you start flirting pronto. Omega

First post: Decided to give personal Intro.
OmegaMan replied to Heartless01's topic in Personal Growth
That seems like reasonable expectations, I would say. That´s the thing with a advice. I personaly believe it has to be has "light" as possible. Just a hint of wisdom, experience. Then the other person goes from there. Welcome. -
what the heck does "finding urself" really mean anyway?
OmegaMan replied to itry's topic in Personal Growth
I´ve often wondered.. In my opinion, finding yourself is a never ending process. You get closer and closer to it with time. Omega -
You know what´s funny about friends? Is that the more needy you are, the more they run away. The more independent your are, the more they´re attracted to you, like a magnet kind of. I would´ve so much to say about this as it has been quite an issue in my life and I know how you feel. You feel like crap sometimes. Sometimes you feel despair and hopelessness and anger because you believe you´re such a good person with just so much to offer. But people just don´t see it. Here´s my advice: Take the lead. It worked for me. Don´t wait on others, lead them. They will respect you for that. Affirm what you want: "I want to do this with you." Instead of "Can you come with me." Independence, beautiful independence. All the best. Omega

YES! Yes! Reading you guys I like a breath of fresh air. Etienne

"Just do things you like to do man, stop watching "The Real World" on MTV because it's one of those big influences that has people thinking, its the "IN thing to do". Just like music video's advertise sex, drugs, parties, and violence. It's all an illusion." Yes. That is very true. I would add that what is "IN" today is pretty much a synonym to what is lucrative today. Lucrative field invest in publicity, publicity dictates the norm, the desirable and undesirable behaviours. Anyways, I thought your statement made a lot of sense. Omega

You do sound very mature. Maturity is one special gift. It´s both a curse and a blessing at the same time. I´m 25 and I have friends who are youngre but I also have friends who are 58 or in thier 40s and 50s! I would love to meet a woman like you. Please, do not change. I cannot stress how important this. This is nothing sexier than a bright, intelligent, mature woman. Omega

young in a controlling relationship-need help
OmegaMan replied to Imagine_it65's topic in Relationship Advice
Oh yes, I agree, wise words, wise words indeed. You know have a weapon of your own: awareness. As long as you are aware of what he is trying, you're going to make things much harder for him to manipulate you. Be careful about quick excuses. From what I know, those people seldom, very seldom change. It's like violent husbands who beat their wives and say how they're sorry and that they love them. It's all a big charade. Omega Man -
young in a controlling relationship-need help
OmegaMan replied to Imagine_it65's topic in Relationship Advice
I agree with imagine, this guy is insecure and controlling. Twenty times a day? Does he realise he's doing it? Does he realise how unattractive this is, how clingy it is? Well that's what he says. Okay. Listen to me. That's a load of you-know-what. That's just a way of saying: "I am controlling you and I'm jealous but I'm trying to cover it up with something positive, like love." That's pure nonsense. Woah, this guy is disconnected from reality, or completely blind with affective illusions. Does this guy really believes he is being some kind of superhero in this? Don't buy that stuff, if someone loves someone else they at least allow them to keep the most cherished thing on this earth: FREEDOM. Just tell him that, he's got absolutely no goddamn word to prevent you from doing what you like, that's one of your rights. These kind of sneaky manipulators really piss me off. No offense, but from what I know, this sounds like a skilled manipulator. Omega -
You know... I'm only 24 but I think I've got some insight. I think you did the right thing in writing here. Some people here should be able to give you some pretty good feedback as to what happened to you. I feel bad for you. The way you were treated is unacceptable, in my opinion. The whole thing just sounds so unhealthy (I'm talking about his behaviour). Well, I just wanted to say I feel your pain. I'm trying to be in your shoes, I certainly would feel bad at that very moment. I honestly hope you find the right one. You sound like you deserve it. Keep looking, I would say, action is the only sure way of eventually suceeding. As we say in french: "Qui combat sans effort, triomphe sans gloire!" He who fights without efforts triumph without glory. Good luck. Omega

You're overly nervous because you focus on yourself. If you focus on this girl rather than yourself, you won't be thinking of anything to be nervous about because you'll be too focused on her. She'll feel it and she will open up. Try it out. This has been tried, tested and true. Omega Man

Don't take this is as an insult man. I meant needy as the opposite of being independent, that's all. What I meant is that people are attracted to independent people. Now if you don't see the link with your question, here it is. Some people are already satisfied with the friends they've got. Nobody likes being alone. I assume that when you have a certain number of relationships that satisfy your social needs, some people (not all) don't feel the need to have more than what satisfy their needs. There's also something else I'd like to talk to you about. It's called Social Preseance. This is a well known psychological and social phenomenon. Maybe this will answer your question. Whenever you have a group of people, a certain equilibrium is set. When someone new enters a crowd, it breaks the equilibrium, it creates insecurity for the members of the group as it implies reorganisation. This, if my opinion based on knowledge, it's better to have someone introduce you in a group, it's much easier that way as you won't appear as threatening it's organisation. It may sound very childish, but it really is the way it works. As for the smoking bit, I'm not sure I don't understand what you meant by that. I don't really smoke and I always thought it was pathetic when someone started to be accepted by others. Anyway, think about it. Omega.

Reconciliation in process...Taking it slow...too slow?
OmegaMan replied to Universe's topic in Getting Back Together
I'll be honest, I didn't read the whole thing. Why were you clingy in the first place? Answer this and you'll understand so much essential information. Omega M. -
Ok, I've been there, completely. Here's what I learned. If you are needy, some people will perceive this as a threat to their freedom or just as a threat. If you are independent, people will look up to you. It's kind of paradoxal, but it works. Here's my advice, initiate a conversation: If the other person doesn't respond, STOP WASTING YOUR GODDAMN TIME. Move on! Otherwise you're just gonna screw up your dignity. Do what you think but this has worked for me. Omega Man

"Foresight teaches gently, error brutally" You harvested what you sowed. Now it all depends how you look at things. You should see this as a great learning opportunity not to start being dependent on someone else. As for the reason why, you stated them yourself. There's also one more thing about being dependent. Men, most if not all the men I know, consider dependent women extremely unattractive. I know some guy who dumped some really hot girl because she was so dependent all the time. Good luck, may this be a lesson for the future. Might as well learn something now or you're gonna have to go through this again and again until you understand. O. M.

Yeah, what she said. She's right, you really shouldn't use lines like: You know, those clothes would look great in a crumpled pile on my bedroom floor in the morning. or "Hey baby...how 'bout coming back to my house for a little pizza and sex?" (The Girl Gets Offended, And You Say...) "What's wrong? You don't like pizza?" or even "Why don't you come over here and sit on my lap and we can talk about the first thing that pops up." Just be nice, make compliments (a lot) and dance like crazy, she won't be able to resist you. Good luck tiger! Omega Man

Here's my input: a. You don't like that nice guy with the overrated stories. b. This is a defense mechanism, a very obvious one: I'm quite certain you are aware that kissing someone when you've made an engagement with someone else isn't comparable to someone making up stories to impress you. If you're not, well, you're in deeper denial than I thought. You certainly should tell the nice guy that you don't like him, out of respect for his rights and then move on. Omega Man
