What I'm wondering is, if women have told you that they don't connect with you or support you for those reasons?
I feel like although there is some cattiness out there much of it can be overcome very quickly by entering into relationship. For example I may notice that a women is thinner and prettier then me but when I take a moment to connect with her, that doesn't matter anymore unless she chooses to let it be an obsticle. The reality is that most women and people in general want to be known for who they are inside not what they look like or have on the outside.
I believe that everything comes down to how we percieve ourselves and how we choose to relate to others and that it's not about how others relate to us. Meaning that we can choose to let others come into our lives and be open or we can be aware of how others may or may not percieve us and feel hurt or judged by something that someone may or may not think about us.
I'm sure that a book about this topic would be very interesting!

Great topic. When I encounter people that we love to hate, I step back and think of us all as parts of a whole, that if we took all of their exceptional qualities and combined them with my exceptional qualities, we'd be one great person. I think the same applies to wide-scale humanity, we are meant complement each other. I haven't decided if that makes me an incomplete person though, still trying to fully resolve that one, but I think that perhaps a wholly developed person functions equally well alone or in a relationship such as marriage or family as they do when they are part of a larger community, the trick is learning when to make that mental shift.

Gretchen- yes relationship, love, friendship is one of the best cures for prejudice. I hope to write about that.
Angela- you know I agree with you that it's important to be healthy as an individual and bring that into relationships. I have a question for you, What do you mean we're all part of one great whole? Do you mean we're all human so united cause we're human? or something bigger?
