in my teen years I unfortunately seemed to attract all the weird, nerdy, semi-genius types and it was very scary.
After that I have attracted mainly intelligent, nice, good-looking, medium-built guys who make friends easily and are generally independent and driven, and have a few family troubles usually, but who despite being loving are lacking in the romance department at times...which is a minor flaw I deal with. All in all I think I'm doing alright.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
