Sacrificing Your Pride
« on: August 19, 2008, 09:25 AM »

Now you meet a guy or a girl for the first time.
You don't know her/him.
Inside yourself, you believe that want you want in a guy/girl is character.
SOMEONE WITH GOOD HEART AND SOMEONE WHO WILL RESPECT YOU.
He/She is not exactly your definition of handsome or beauty.
But he/She could be exactly what you want in a person.

Would you sacrifice your pride to find out more about him/her ?

Actually i think pride has everything to do with it.
Like seeing some guy/girl that you do not like his/her physical apperance.
Does guys/girls really give them a chance to atleast say something?
Before considering them unfit for them.

Then you must be waaaaaaaaay too proud.
The way I see it, this person already has a thousand other people appreciating her "character", people who wouldnt be thinking they are "sacrificing their pride" by being with her.
I don't see what pride has to do with anything here.
Please, check yourself.

Nope, poster can be serious!
Its about throwing everything into the thin air and risking an embarrassing moment when u try talking to a girl who looks everything u want in a woman [from the outside] only for her to diss u and make a public display that leaves u looking silly Grin
This even happens to guys who are very goodlooking. . .  I've had girls toasting me on many occasions, but thats not important, to have a girl openly turn me down will do more damage [than can be seen by the naked eye] to my overall confidence. It can ruin my day, especially when i'd gone about it in the most civil and socially acceptable way.

Pride? I don't believe you have to sacrifice your pride to talk to someone who you feel is less attractive than yourself.

I'm confused, do you mean, do I have to become more humble, or less stuck up about my own looks? If that's the case, I've been there done that, and the funniest thing is that, my friends and people who know both of us were witnesses to the whole thing, shocked with horror; 'You were too good for him anyway'- at least by approaching someone for love, if it doesn't work out, you can always use that cheap satisfaction to get over them slightly quicker.  Tongue

The OP stated that this person is not what you'D call attractive.

When you have a certain standard known to your family and friends.  Yes pride comes in.  How else can you show off someone you think is 'beneath' your standard or 'below' the standard the 'public' et al thinks your status level is?

Would i sacrifice my pride? Depends on what i am proud of Undecided
Besides i like being the beast to his beauty Grin Grin

If you can't stand a little embarrassment, then stop toasting girls on the way. Its even kind of embarrassing for a girl too. Imagine walking on a street and you know you r looking good because all eyes' on you; and then one funny guy who thinks he's good looking and drives a four wheel approaches you and starts mis yarning. I specialize in embarrasing such guys. And now you guys think you are swallowing your pride?? shakes head
