What does it mean when women call you "Intense"

[Nexus One]

Nah, mostly temporary jobs at the moment. In maybe 3-4 months I'm likely going to be unemployed again or working some droning service mcjob. I'm hoping finishing school will help me find stable employment.

 

What are you studying if I may ask?

[Wolf18]

History with minors in language.

Good luck finding work with that!

 

Not hating, I'm an English major and I'm worried about finding stable work too. Humanities will not get most people much more than entry-level jobs.

One should study independently, so while you have a crap job, you can also learn how money works and use it accordingly.

 

(Sorry, I have been reading too much Kiyosaki, financial education and all that )

It means they don't have a very good vocabulary. Those types tend to call people "deep" too, another meaningless adjective.

write a book. English majors aren't good for much more.

Yep, I've had "deep" a lot. I wouldn't say I am deep, I have barely lived, I just have a large brain with a huge imagination that takes in a lot.

 

I was once told I "radiate calm" which is funny because I am an anxious person.

Okay well that sounds positive! (school/finding stable employment)

 

The opposite of that would deter women, because women are attracted to men who are goal oriented, have a stable job/career and/or are headed in that direction, and can support himself. If she plans on marrying him one day and raising children, she is going to look for someone who can be a good provider.

 

That doesn't mean supporting her by handing his money over to her while she sits around jobless watching Oprah all day and goes out and shops for herself while he is hard at work. My sister, and her husband for example, he is the bread winner and she is the stay at home wife raising their two children, taking care of the house, the cooking/cleaning, and bills. But, she also had her own career, when she met him, which she stopped after she became pregnant to raise the kids herself as they both agreed they did not want to the children to grow up in daycare. Not many couples can afford to do that these days, but that is a different discussion.

 

But if you are dating women who are more interested in being with a man JUST because he's "rich" or has "lots of money", well, I think it is best for you to avoid those types of women altogether. Date women who you feel more compatible with and are in alignment with your own goals.

It sure is looking that way, then again there are engineers, mathematicians, and biologists who are hopelessly unemployed as well. The economy is in the dumps and all the productive manufacturing jobs that made up the American middle class have been outsourced. With the construction type of work I'm doing, wages are plummeting because of illegal immigrants doing valuable work for starvation wages. There's no choice but to try and get some lame bureaucrat job if you want to make a living wage.

 

Most of the stuff I learn in school I knew before going through my own leisure reading, I just have to go to get the piece of paper that says to some Human Resources prick that I'm disciplined enough to finish 4 years of college. You even need a degree to sell underwear at the Calvin Klein

I would learn all that stuff (engineering, maths etc) outside of college, I'm trying to learn how to set up businesses. I think that the market is open to create jobs instead of look for them.

 

I am such a pie-in-the-sky person, I think it's funny

That sounds about ideal if I had a family, but it's not relavent to the girls I know. I don't know why a 19 or 20 year old girl without any plans for kids in the near future would need a damn breadwinner.

The problem is that even if you had the amazing discipline to teach yourself engineering or some other technical discipline, employers would still more often prefer the person with the formal education in the subject. So a guy with a degree in engineering is a safer hire than a guy who seems really skilled in engineering but has a basket-weaving degree.

 

Of course, this is not always the case. It's not too late for me to change majors and I've considered switching to business, but I hate all that math!

They're being bred younger and younger!

 

 

These women seem a bit older though:

You and I think similarly. Right now there is enough unemployment and enough companies have gone under, that a new generation of companies can be set up and take a piece of the pie in the economy, i.e. a piece of the money supply in society.

 

Every year the money supply in society is expanded and that allows for new businesses to take a cut from that pie. Don't get me wrong, obtaining a piece of that pie is hard, because people and companies don't part easily from the money they're sitting on and neither do companies easily let you tap into their revenue stream, but it's possible.

When I call someone intense, it's because something is freaking me out. Like they are intense - it's not a good thing.

[ShannonMI]

I can't tell if it's a good or bad thing, it has certainly been used in a variety of contexts regards to myself but I've yet to crack its actually meaning. I've had women who were attracted and unattracted to me use it.

Wolf, you are INTENSE. I don't know you that well if at all, but just reading your posts on LS, you are damn intense. But I find it an attractive quality. You have strong opinions and a killer sense of humor. Some chicks would be turned off by you. I'm not going to lie. There are others though that will find it a good quality. I like it personally. I imagine hanging out with you would be fun. I love your sense of humor. I think I'd be cracking up the whole time. Nothing is better then a man with a great sense of humor and a good personality. I think you have both. I bet you are "intense" in bed too. Do women complain about that? I doubt it.

[dispatch3d]

It could mean you have a strong personality.

 

hahaha best answer I lol'd

 

it means you're emotional.

[Feelsgoodman]

Aperson who is intense is the opposite of laid back....in other words, entertaining in small dosages but can quickly becoming overwhelming if you are exposed to them for a significant amount of time. Ultimately, you need the right balance between being too mellow and too intense.

This is right on the button.

 

Very few people feel lukewarm about me, I'm either loved or hated. I actually think I prefer that to just having everyone be indifferent to me like a lot of people out there.

I've heard that good in small doses line from a girl once. I responded by telling this boring sorority type that I barely knew existed that she was good in no doses

Boring is bad, but "too exciting" is also bad. Imagine a five minute roller coaster ride. Fun, right? Now imagine being on that ride for five hours straight...

[Wolf18]

Yeah I hear ya, I've been "maturing" a bit in the last year or two and am learning moderation. My impulsiveness in my teenage years in particular has burned a lot of bridges throughout my life.
