    It is not out of context. That's the sad part of it....

    Creativity is a function of spirituality. pirituality is bigger than creativity. Creativity comes from spirituality, not the other way around. For example, God created the universe. Spirituality is creative power.

    What's the point of that? :bugeye:

    I haven't read this entire thread, but I'll post my opinion anyhow.

    First of all, there are a lot of guys out there I might look at as "hot," but I guess for me, being "hot" isn't what I look for primarily. Looks help, but they shouldn't have any direct connection to whether you will connect with the person or not. So, there is no reason to fret about that. Maybe you will find a girl one day who is attractive to you and that you also connect with, or maybe you'll find a girl who you just connect with which makes you enough attracted to her as is.

    Are you alone in the world? The world is a vast place my friend. I highly doubt you are alone. Somewhere there will be somebody who you can connect with. I connect with many different people but on different levels; and those who end up being really long-term good friends are those who I can relate to on the deepest levels, and they are usually few in number.

    Aside from that, worrying if you are "alone" or not in a world full of infinitely different kinds of people won't get you anywhere, as long as you are true to yourself you should find satisfaction in that.

    TS,
    Even if you do represent 1% of the population -according to meyer briggs- that doesn't make you a unique person. Do you follow?

    By accepting the fact that you are 1%, you're voluntarily restricting yourself. All of this psychology is a crock. Its not in cement. They're guidelines. You should know, there are as many different types of people out there as there are genetic combinations, and you will NEVER get along perfectly with a single person. You may find somebody great, but statistically, it will not last: Its called entropy.

    I will say it again: You should work more on bettering yourself than desperately trying to find someone that 'brings out the best in you' based on silly profiles.. This applies to everyone.

    No, the sad part is you can't have bothered looking up the definition of the word, and couldn't be bothered to explain how you feel a monetary term is applicable to your supposed intellect.

    So says you. But most accept the hemispherical split between logic and creativity, and 'spirituality' isn't mentioned in this context. So you are just twisting definitions to suit yourself. This makes your posts meaningless. We need common terms of reference to communicate, and you a devaluing them. (you know about value, right?)

    Oh really. I think you'll find that's heavily disputed. Again, if you base your arguments on this opening premise, you aren't going to get very far. Well, certainly not amongst anyone who really does value logic.

    Dating yourself? Maybe I was being too subtle. I was implying you are a wanker, and a schizophrenic. You know, creative use of language?

    Ahhhhh.... nope. It's a psychology test and it tells a whole lot about me. It means that I am an INFP (Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving).

    Well... I actually like being 1% of the population. The values of this society are so rotten and selfish that I wouldn't stand being like everyone else. Guess what is the type most people are in North America? This is it: ESTJ. Which are very often much colder and judgemental people. Yuuckk...

    Oh yeah, sure. But they are a base for accurate perception.

    Ahhh.... no. There are many variations of each type, but those types actually represent most of the population.

    Of course it can last. I've seen many couples together for decades.

    I'm not basing it on silly profiles, I'm providing evidence.
    This is really hilarious. If I say that I'm unique, nobody believes me and ask for proof. And then I give the proof and they say that now I'm basing myself on that proof. How hilarious... :bugeye:


    Funny thing that a silly profile is actually used world wide, often cost more than $100 to make and it is used in behavioral research world-wide...

    Maybe, but God isn't spiritual, as he has no faith.
    So exactly how are you increasing the value or status of your brain in an organised way?

    Of course He has faith. How do you think He created the universe!?!?
    Besides, He is a "spirit" (i.e. non-physical).

    By not neglecting half of it.

    "2. To give or assign a value to: “The prophets valorized history” (Mircea Eliade)."

    You probably don't have a very broad vocabulary....

    Most accept such definition because they are the logical people who deny spirituality!

    But in a way, you are right. Logic vs Creativity is better to define the hemispherical split. God is both logical and creative, and so is spirituality.

    As I said, creativity comes from spirituality.

    You don't even know what that word means. You just looked it up after I said it. You probably didn't even know it before. I've known that word for years because I used a similar one in Portuguese (as your site rightly points out). You see.... people that know quite a few languages have larger vocabularies simply because they know the semantic variations of words throughout the languages. It's, then, hard to communicate with you...

    This thread is not about that.

    That's simply ignorant. What can I say?

    A stretch, to use the second definition to justify a clumsy sentence, that could have been phrased so much better.

    Yep, I deny spirituality, and nobody has proven it. So it's all stinky wind I'm afraid, and so is everything spoken about it.

    First prove god exists, before assigning attributes.

    There's merely your assertion, but has no basis in fact.

    Right, I go looking up every word hoping to find fault do I? Or did it's usage stick out like a sore thumb?

    Know the phrase 'lost in translation'?

    Well, I speak, English, French, and some German. Sorry, what was your point again?

    Then don't bring god into it.

    Not ignorant, perhaps you mean insulting? Yes, I fully admit, it was a creative insult. Well, until I had to get blunt and explain it, anyway.

    Oh! So the second definition is a "stretch"? Let's see the second definition of the word.... "definition"!

    2. The act or process of stating a precise meaning or significance; formulation of a meaning.

    Now, compare it to the first!

    1.a.A statement conveying fundamental character.
    b.A statement of the meaning of a word, phrase, or term, as in a dictionary entry.


    Which one is the better!? Right! The second one! No! It makes no difference!
    Duh!

    No, it couldn't have been phrased much better. You are just plain not flexible enough with language. "Valorize" have a long history coming from Latin. It is not a little pointless word. It is actually a word used by well educated people. Which is why you won't find much of it in sciforums...

    Altough there are some here that might use the word. But certainly not the majority.

    Argumentum ad ignorantiam

    "Argumentum ad ignorantiam means "argument from ignorance." The fallacy occurs when it's argued that something must be true, simply because it hasn't been proved false. Or, equivalently, when it is argued that something must be false because it hasn't been proved true."

    Once again, I use an atheist website against atheists.....

    That's ot the point of the thread.

    No. You simply didn't know what it meant. Which is ok, you know? Nobody knows everything.

    Doesn't have anything to do with this. I study those words. I know what they mean and I know the origins of them. Have you ever heard of the word "value"? Is that word also "lost in translation"? Because this word that is widely used in English came from the word "valorize". Oh my! So the Englsih language is full of s***! No. Guess who doesn't know nearly 1,000 of the more then 5,000 words in the English language (way more then 5,000, actually)?

    Which one you speak fluently, if any?

    You brought Him.

    Yes.... I guess you have a lot of etymological knowledge.....

    This thread is still active?

    Hey A Canadian,

    Did you get your answer yet, buddy? Four pages of 'advice' all for you. More or less. Nobody can define you man. Be yourself and it'll work out. If you feel chemistry with someone go for it. I like Salt has some good insights into carpe dium. Blue mushrooms are optional.

    The book that was suggested might not be your best bet. 'How to hypnotize hot chicks' or whatever. If you're looking for a good read on women for a real, committed relationship, try 'Letters to Phillip'. I forget the authors name. It was written many years ago, compiled from a marriage councilors notes to his son. Although it is a bit dated, timeless information on the opposite sex abounds. It makes Men are from Mars.... look like a Hackjob.

    Anyway post a reply soon, we're down to anal sex and blow up dolls. Soon we might loose the focus of the thread.
