someone could seem very successful because they have nice clothes

If I value social status, I will comb my hair before I go shopping. And I will wear decent clothes. I;ve found that I get better customer service if I am dressed well. Therefore shop assistants are more likely to treat customers who appear to have higher social status. the homeless look doesn’t cut it. I know. I’ve tried it.
People make judgements based on your appearance, whether you like it or not.

always strive to find that passion you felt with your Andrew

I’m not sure this is good advice. Yes I agree people should follow their passion, but it doesn’t have to be a sexual relationship with another human being.
People who don’t have an active sex life can put their passion into something else like writing or art or another interest.
This is an interesting topic I admit and I don’t pretend the have THE answer but all I will say that it is a case by case scenario. Freudian slip giving away your opinion on this though. 🙂

Don’t feel ashamed to start as many threads as you like.
I do it all the time.
Call it self-expression. Noone is compelled to reply
All I suggest is that you don’t expect. Don’t expect anything, quality or quantity responses.
But chances are Anita will respond at least.
(anita, by the way don’t feel you have to respond to everyone, everytime, you’ll wear yourself out)

I guess I’m getting my reward for laziness, by reading your thread. Thanks.
