Too Be Bored Is To Be Boring

Interesting points, as usual, Christan, but not too long ago you were complaining about the high % of guys who hit on you and whom you found completely uninteresting - from the get-go, it seemed. Could it be that you found them.... boring?? Instead of taking the time to knock Blaire, whoever the hell she is, why don't you explain yourself? There are boring men, and boring women, and boring circumstances, but men seem to be expected to be the dancing bears in this crazy dating universe we live in. So pontificate, Moxie - this is what you do. Who's boring and why?

I don't expect men to share my interests. That's what my girlfriends are for.  What I'm countering about her statement is how she makes this sweeping generalization about how "most" men are boring, not nice, as they perceive themselves to be. Most? Really? I don't find "most" men boring. If I did, then that would indicate an issue with me, not them.  Which is what women or men should consider if they find themselves frequently encountering people who bore them. Often times, people dismiss others for being boring as a pre-emptive strike as they are the ones who feel inadequate and don't want to be the one rejected first. Others make snap judgments and call people boring because the other person doesn't discuss or share the same interests as them. Is that really boring? Or is that just someone with their own preferences? If I went out and expected guys to talk about what I wanted to talk about, or at least focus on things that interest me, doesn't that make me sound rather self-absorbed?

Boring!! How can life be boring? I wonder at the thought. But no I don't think It is either parties fault. If it is boring you have not made a connection. I'm Out> Connection is everything. You either want to or Not>

I think if you are constantly bored by *most* people,most likely, you are very boring. The end.
