You've very intelligent. Use that fine mind of yours! Perceive what others feel and use it to your advantage when communicating with them. The danger to watch out for is to not hold it over anybody... do not let it make you aloof. Your intelligence makes you better than most people, but don't let them think you know you are.

You're proud of yourself, and rightfully so! Keeping that pride ensures you indeed will not lower your standards. The danger here is, and one I truly worry about with you, your feeling of independence. You will never attain any goal without the help of someone else, whether a teacher, a boss, an author, a friend, or a partner. It's okay to ask for help or to sit with a friend to talk.

You're absolutely charming. Your eyes are soft, your voice like a song. You are much more beautiful than you think you are. Your looks and personality will open doors for you that won't open for others. Don't be afraid to let them open.

You're kind. You're willing to help those in need and very friendly to new people. Two dangers jump out, though. First, don't let your kindness overextend yourself from reaching your own goals. Second, don't allow your kindness interact with your charm when jumping into a relationship... if you're not watchful you will be treated as a doormat. Generosity is a good thing, but be more so with your true friends and less so with someone you barely know.

You're strong. You've conquered great weights, both physically and emotionally. You're well-aware from powerlifting that muscle tissue is built by more lifting and exercise. Keep that in mind when dealing with the strength of your soul. Bench 125 'til you can bench 130... 130 'til you get to 135. Bench 100 for a year straight and try 125 again and what happens? Can't do it anymore? That's what happens when one lowers one's standards. To keep your spirit strong, keep challenging yourself to be better... the person you're striving to become.

I suppose what I'm trying to to get across is I know you have physical urges (again that kinship... I too have a monstrous sex drive--my apologies if that's TMI), but my hope for you is that you don't become emotionally involved with anyone who isn't your intellectual, philosophic, and physical equal. Anything less is less than you rightfully deserve. Hey, if the guy can change his own oil and has a few spare bucks in his pocket, that's a bonus! Gravy!

Guess that's as far as I'm willing to go without your feedback, so it seems a fair enough place to quit for now. Have fun, keep the sex safe, and don't fall in love with anyone who doesn't meet your real standards.
