I submit that I have tons of baggage...all of which has made me, finally, after 41 years, too good to be true

So I guess the morale of the story is we all have baggage. And if we claim to not have baggage, well, then thats our baggage.

If we are too innocent, that is baggage because we have no experience, but if we took chances and have too much experience, then we are too "weathered" and dragged down with baggage.

So I guess we are all doomed.

But I will say that experience rules in everything, including dating. I have always believed that. I have always observed that the more experienced people with relationships get a lot of dates easily, even if their baggage is totally dysfunctional.

I have a good life long friend who has more past marriage and baggage problems that I can count on several hands, and he has no job and is not particularly attractive, but he gets date after date with the hottest women, and all the women he meets line up and want to marry him. He has never been successful in school or his career, but he has always got the women since he was a yound teen, and he has lots and lots of experience with women. I know lots of men who are a lot more attractive and financially successful than him, and they cannot get a date. And they always are asking me how my friend does it.

I am another one of those people who was focused on good grades, being successful in sports, and being successful in my career. I never found or made the time to socialize or date women when I was younger, and I think I am paying for it now. I actually in a way envy the so called "loser men" who get all the women. I have very little material baggage, but I think my lack of experience with women from my younger years is hurting me.

This always reminds me of a scene from a teen fick I saw when I was a kid. This nerdy, shy guy bought a book "how to pick up on trashy women", and there is a scene where he is in his bedroom reading the book, and there are all these trashy, hot women sitting on the bed with him. I cant remember the name of the movie but I always remember that scene and it cracks me up
