IO Psychology is the only way to go for a real job.

You forgot one type, the girl who was busy with supporting herself while working on a PhD and has just graduated at 28-32ish. Best of every world, more mature, smart, earning potential, still wants family. They are out there, tend to have higher standards in a guy however so if you are still in...

If you see it as a game then so be it, there are a lot of people out there who don"t see it that way and it is really dickish to play your game with them.

I have had good luck explaining my thought process. But only when it is clear something had a negative effect. I would reverse the question. Like "I am not mad, what makes you think so?" Then if she says it hurts her feeling when you don"t talk to her much you can say that you got the impression...

Yea, don"t get that... not a GF/BF until declared to be so.

I confirm this stereotype.

I think the weight thing will come down to two main things. First, are you looking for a relationship that is going to be long term? If you are then look more at personality/compatibility as that is what will matter in terms of enjoying your time together which is what its all about...

Smart chicks like board games, some of us like them to have a brain.

I still don"t get why so many guys get hung up purely on looks like that. What the fuck, this is a person you will be spending a huge chunk of your free time with. Find someone who looks pretty good (6-8 territory) and is fun to be with no matter what. I am talking someone you could sit in a...

My something private about you was that I wasn"t into music. Met a girl via okcupid and have been dating 2 months so yea not 100%. And yes Its not a gimmick I honestly never actively listen to music.

What is your title, and what do you make? Having that data could help us give you good information.

OKC asks you a bunch of questions, he picked one of the probably 100s she had answered as a conversation starter. Quite possibly the worst one he could have picked to be honest as anything sexual in the first contact is instant fail.

From what I have seen Directors are rarely former engineers at my current company. Never seen manager/director level jobs on the market here as people promote from within for them... hell even Lead jobs are rare around here. I see metric fucktons of Sr jobs though.

Because if for some reason you lose your job, it becomes really hard to find one. Its an ageist industry, pretty commonly accepted to be so... sure someone will want you but it"ll be a LOT harder. How many 40+ software engineers do you see around? For me it really comes down to the fact...

Yea I"m already a Lead so its at the point I don"t have much room to grow technically. I"m 31 so I have a few years but you don"t wanna be a 40yr old engineer from everything I"ve seen and heard.

I"ve got a major problem with never being satisfied with where I am, its hard in tech where promotions are relatively limited unless you want to give up being technical. That and I am in a non technical friendly market with no desire to move sigh. I think I need to start my own company or...

The best way to go is redirect the righteous knowledge at the MBAs running tech companies who can"t even check their own email and make short term decisions because they will fail up before the shit comes back to roost.

I ended up getting this as well for staying, got to ditch the support / maintenance work and move to a big Proof of Concept project in new tech. Makes things a lot more rewarding on a daily basis that is for sure.

Even if you really are replaceable, there is still a lot of cost to the comany.. What is a 15% raise going to hurt compared to the alternative? It costs a lot to replace you! Recruiter Fees Interview Time Training Relocation Red Tape Projects becoming late due to you leaving Unknown...

Even gradual weight loss (1-2 lbs a week) can get ya. Mine went apeshit about 6 months into my weight loss and had to be removed, not really that big a deal tho was back to normal the next week and felt better than I had in a long time within 2.

Yep, its conventional (current loan is owned by GMAC) and I still have 20%+. The info I read on the rule say it shouldn"t apply to a primary but every lender uses the rule anyway it seems for non-FHA. Ive had like 4 balk because of it when I try and refi and its really pissing me off. One even...

A long time ago I lost a refi on the last step because my Townhome Condo complex is 60% rent 40% owned (when they sell a blaok of 5 townhomes they rehab all 5 first so they are really nice). I still to this day can"t get a refi because of some arbitrary 50% rule. It really pisses me off!

I was pro-life before reading this thread... now not so much.

It could also be to avoid insulting you with a low-ball. They want to offer you the lowest they can that you MIGHT ACCEPT.

I would include the following info as part of salary history: - Base Salary - Medical % covered - 401k Match % - Stock Purchase Discount - Vacation , personal days - Bonus if there was a standard bonus scheme that was regular enough to count on - Other perks with monetary value You...

I think its pretty common for them to ask for a "Salary History".

Zillow is an appraisal algorithm that works with imperfect information. And hell informed appraisals are often wildly different so it does a 1/2 decent job imho.

Yea those fees add up fast. Loan origination counts as interest for tax purposes btw so you can get yourself a chunk of that back.

The irony of the IRS auditing you because your wife works for them made me laugh.

There is something about owning your place be it a condo or house that lets you stand there and go "damn this is nice". At least there was for me, its also so much more a home that you look forward to coming home to ya know?

That which makes them human ?

ROFL at those prices... a house for 50k that isn"t shitty just amazes me. We didn"t tank here in STL.

I have been arguing since wow beta that crafting was just too easy to max level in. For a crafter to mean something it has to be either hard or take a lot of investment to be high end and make the best things otherwise every Joe Blow will make everything like its done in wow. In EQ the system...

There is something to be said for giving meaning to failure in the game and requiring effort to travel etc. Everything being without penalty makes achievements less valued in that you can just throw yourself at it all day and all night then claim victory despite 1000s of failures.

I just did a refi to 15yr @ 4.375. MMMM

I love my hardwood kitchen floor but thats probably an expensive option

Full wall paneling looks good, but not a big fan of the waist high panels myself haha. But otherwise it looks really nice, that deck is very nice.

Mine didn"t make me sign anything till I was ready to put a bid on a place. Just to make sure I didn"t try and deal without them after using them to find it etc.

Bids tend to be contracts that you sign and they sign if they accept... so yea.

Sometimes spending a bit more is ok because better homes have better resale value. They cost more for a reason (assuming they are priced well)... when I looked the condos for 20-30k less were just not places I wanted to live while the one I choose just struck me as a place I could call home.
