Much as I complain about women, I have to admit, this guy is a complete doofus for assuming you "work at" a startup. LOL

You know why the tone of my comment depresses you? Because it's true. It's depressing, because you don't have anything to point to in reality that would refute my viewpoint, because it's just true. And your success with women isn't based on

Yes, but women get to choose WHO TO (positively) sleep with; whereas, as a man, you generally don't have that choice, unless you're extremely famous/wealthy/etc., which you generally don't have control over. I am bitter and confused about h

No need to speculate. I don't have a relationship, and I've never really had a proper relationship. This isn't something I'm ashamed of, because I don't base my self-esteem on other people's judgements of me. Especially not on womens' roman

If women don't CHOOSE to be with men like this, then either A) women are with men like this, but not by choice, or B) women aren't with men like this, by choice. So which is it, Amy? If most women don't go for men like this, then most relat

I didn't say women have power, I just said women are in control when it comes to sex, in western societies. This is assuming normal, legal situations. Of course all forms of rape are an exception to this. There's just no getting around the

Amy, I agree with your analysis, except for what you leave out: Most couples are like this. The woman IS a silly, child-like, passive, docile baby, and the guy IS a silly, narcissistic, self-absorbed robot. These are the ways women behave,

I think you misunderstand my intentions. What I meant is that one SHOULD have multiple clients/multiple jobs, and that doing so will be easier if one doesn't become too dependent on any one employer due to benefits, etc.

Now a job like that I would strongly consider. :)

I agree with you that there are a lot of people who simply refuse to engage with Rand's ideas. No matter how much one dislikes an idea, I think one should be willing to understand and engage with it, especially if it's an important idea tha

I included the Ayn Rand quote because it's simply the most straight-forward and succinct summary of what my blog post was all about. I hazard a guess that those who detest Rand's thought will probably equally detest mine. :)

Thanks for the comment. Yes this won't work for sites that are heavily dependent on interaction with the server. In my experience it's better for working with static sites such as blogs, news sites, etc.

This is complete rubbish. Take a look at my LinkedIn profile: linkedin.com/in/jonathanconway. Virtually nothing but 3/7/12-month stints. I'm now making more money (and having more fun!) than ever before in my career! The key is to keep your

Screw Google. Go do a startup or get yourself into consulting/freelancing (like me) and earn big hourly bucks.
