I still have the same annoying personality, just made some physical improvements along the way and you can too!

You were never ugly and you were quite attractive then, and now.

Do it! It'll change your face and you'll love it. Though it is a pretty hard recovery. The time will pass anyway and your future self will thank you.

Also, being Scottish will get you 2 bonus points in my family. My mom’s only travel wish is to see Scotland at some point in her life. She’s never left the United States. She finally got her passport in 2019 to go on a summer 2020 trip, but of course that was canceled. We’re hoping to try again in the next few summers.

No, I wasn't, but thanks. I'm much better now. Ever heard the expression: Tens don't date twos? I'm about a 6.5 now. If I didn't have private school and horses to pay for, I think I could get up to a 7.5 lol.

Yes. I've heard it. Having copious amounts of money renders it moot.
You've already blown through 7.5.

Here is Flavio Briotore and his wife. He also dated Heidi Klum. Money turns 2s into 10s.

You’re too kind!

And hahahahahaha. Now the image of Anna Nicole Smith’s wedding is coming to mind.

My recovery wasn't bad and my surgeon said I had the worst bone fragments he'd ever seen. My surgery was supposed to last about 1 hour and went 3. The recovery wasn't bad for me as I'd it broken 3 or 4 times, previously.

The black eyes were the worst, however. Raccoon eyes for a week. UGH.

Yeah...I forgot about her. What was the husbands age, 384?

The worst part for me was having to sleep and breathe with my mouth open. Ugh, so uncomfortable!! The pain was pretty bad for first few days. AND I found out that I’m allergic to Percocet. So that was fun. In pain, body covered in hives from the allergic reaction and not able to get a different RX because I had already filled the prescription for the Percocet.

The black eyes were pretty bad. I had mine done on a Thursday and went back to work the following Monday. I had a client show up unexpectedly and I had to explain I didn’t get beat up, it was self inflicted.

LOL, no hate (really!), but you are the personification of these two graphs:

TL;DR: Women rate 80% of people (in particular men) as below average. Men, on the other hand, do not. (That said, note how shallow men are in only messaging who they perceive to be super attractive)

Yeah, I think I will one day... it's more a question of time/money/covid right now. I'm not concerned about the recovery really, though I doubt I'll enjoy that part!

Woohoo, I may even break into the upper 40th percentile!

If you're planning on going to the Highlands on your trip, go in April. Best chance of ok weather, and not many midges out at that time of year.

Enjoy.

Bernie Ecclestone is another excellent illustration of financial Botox. Something else that blows my mind; BoTox; botulinum toxin... literally the most toxic substance known to man

Indeed he is. I think he fathered a child in the last 2 or 3 years and he is my dad's age!!

You know, whether you care to admit it or not, that there is actually a lot you can change about you (without resorting to surgery). You said you were getting a trainer and changing your eating habits. Have you? You still have a ways to go. Tough love, but there it is.

Stop whining about how you can't change your look when you know you can in fact change it with some weight loss, a decent haircut, a shave, and some decent clothes. If you aren't going to do that, then at least embrace who you are, because you don't appear to have done that either. I promise that despite tales to the contrary, the camera isn't in fact stealing a part of your soul, so do try to smile in your pictures yes?

The confidence you project will go a long way, even if your looks are only passable. I'm not talking about asshole like confidence to be clear. You'll know it when you have it.

You honestly have a lot of potential, but I don't think you see it yet. I think you have given up on yourself to a degree, but aren't satisfied either because you long for something more. That's a bad place to be in because you have neither accepted yourself, nor are you seriously changing what you don't like about yourself either.

And maybe I've read you wrong, I don't know you, I'm just going on what I see online from your posts.

This is how you know men and women focus on very different things. Rarely do you see a young guy dating a 70 something year old woman because she is rich.

I kid, I kid!! I'm as transparent as the day is long and well.....as far as humor goes, I'm only as funny as the the IQ of the person on the receiving end. Humor is subjective, know your audience first.

I also don't really have wallet envy. I'm not loaded and in no danger of buying a company anytime soon; however, I'm no chump either.

Just be you, be sweet, be kind, and that's all a woman needs.

I was just kidding.

Sweet, kind and just be me? Check, check and double check.....you made no mention of matters of the bedroom though. Is this something that isn't quite as important as the other three? (This is a joke as well, I'm baiting you) The only envy that I have, is that I'm bald (I keep it shaved) and can't grow a beard (yup, keep that shaved too). As the OP of this thread, there isn't much I won't discuss or have any shame about.

I tend to associate life with television and film. This would be the point in this particular thread, where the music intensifies and cut-screens go to Sara unkowingly going about her normal day, whilst unsuspecting smartassery and tom-foolery are lurking around the next corner. (We don't have an evil genius writhing his hands emoji to choose from.....let's just imply one is being used here.)
