[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s DC culture. I’m not actually from the DC area, just found these boards and like the wide range of topics. I’m from a small town in coal country. My DH is a blue collar worker. He’s not perfect, he had a DUI years ago, but learned his lesson. We aren’t rolling in money. But he’s a wonderful, caring, thoughtful, and downright sexy guy. I love him like crazy. People where I live don’t really seem to care too much about someone’s pedigree or salary as long as they can pay the bills. That’s how I feel, and our relationship is fantastic. Move somewhere else where wealth and material things don’t run so many people’s lives. It’s not all women and you don’t have to live life being bitter. [/quote]

OP, people are more complex than you give them credit for. PPs post does a nice job of conveying that surface-level dismissal of a human being's complexity - in her case, she's dismissing a whole region of people based on her interpretation of their posts.

Ask yourself: can online audiences understand who you are by reading a single post you've written? -Or even a multitude of posts? No, of course not. When you post, you choose to share some things, change other things, gloss over others, conflate still others - etc. and so forth. The sum of who you are is so much more than these posts that are only surface and distorted expressions of you.

Not even your OP for this thread really conveys the nuances and complexities - good and not so good - of who you are. You wouldn't want people to base their understanding of you on this OP - it doesn't really represent you.

It's okay to feel discouraged, but resist bitterness. That's a frame of mind that reduces you. It doesn't deserve you, your energy or your time.[/quote]
