[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. 11 pages in and we are still defining striver. I think there are a lot of defensive strivers posting here.

In some social circles, the stereotypical striver characteristics are admirable. In many, they are not. Believe it or not, it is possible to be extremely smart while also having a social life, people skills, and interests away from academia. So many people here act like any college kid who goes to parties and has fun is a slacker. Nope. They are actually better. Because they can maintain good grades AND have fun.

Perhaps you should try it. Or stop insulting those who are capable of doing this. Just because they don't wear their intellect on their sleeves and they have fun doesn't make them dumb.[/quote]

+1 lots of folks on this thread seem to be oblivious to the fact that they and their DC’s are menaces. [/quote]

And a lot of other folks on this thread think their way of thinking is the only way to live and judge everyone else for it. Some of us don’t have daddy’s money or our skin color or gender to fall back on [/quote]

Not sure what any of those things have to do with being a douche. One can work hard and achieve without being one. Those who can’t get judged. But you do you. [/quote]

Your assessment of whether someone is a douche appears to be how much or how little they act like a white guy.

You seem to enjoy judging people but don’t like being judged yourself [/quote]
