Acensky 0 #5 June 10, 2007 How does that saying go... "Speak softly and carry a big gun" or something like that?? or the one from the Italian Job "Trust everyone, just don't trust the devil inside." I trust very, very few (like 2) people, I used to trust a lot more, but I got burned so many times. I learned my lessons the hard way. HeatherGarbage bags do not make good parachutes.

jenfly00 0 #6 June 10, 2007 Quote Discuss. As a woman, I think it's a pretty damned good idea. Anyone else have an opinion? Disagree. Develop life skills in determining who to trust As women we tend to give our trust to men who are polite, courteous and pay us compliments ...and we judge them as 'good' men. They may very well be, but all they have really demonstrated is good manners (odds are, they've just learned how to get laid ) We need to learn how to determine character and integrity. Do they keep their word, are they honest, fair and considerate of others. People will tell us everything need to make determinations of character and integrity ...if we but learn to listen.----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

pinkfairy 0 #7 June 10, 2007 I agree, but there are ways to protect yourself that doesn't involve shutting yourself into your house and talking to no one. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudolfz 0 #11 June 10, 2007 Absolutely agree! I couldn’t imagine living a life of without trusting anyone. Then again the question was posed “as a woman” which I am not. But from the guys point of view I am polite all the time and it’s pretty arrogant when women think it’s cause I want to sleep with them, sometimes I want to sleep their friends, kidding, well mostly kidding! But honestly, learning who to trust is important. So we get burned, it happens, we should treat it as a lesson and learn from it. Trusting no one is just quitting isn’t it?

Jewels 0 #23 June 10, 2007 Jennr8r is right. You're not as black and white as all that. Besides, you trust a lot of people every time you jump--the person who packs for you, the pilot who gets you to altitude, the other people who are on your load, your coaches. . . . I suspect that you meant trust in a more relational sense, but if you didn't trust people in the first place it would be really hard to be a skydiver. Caution is good, and I'd say you're more cautious than distrustful. TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
