Hi to anyone that bumbles into my little blog of sorts. I just wanted to write really and say how tiring it is being single and not being able to enjoy the things you love doing because they are boring when you're alone. I'm 33 and it seems my days are passing me by in a stream of bad luck, bad relationships and bad people. I don't know why but I feel quite a bit of negativity from people who I meet, although I would love the world to be happy and why can't it be??? That is what tires me! So, I'm just looking for a guy that loves the outdoors and is also someone that I fancy!!! is that too much to ask? I'm thinking it is. ooooooo what is wrong with people that they cannot just enjoy and not take the piss out of people by the way they look/act etc? I can't even work at the moment because it seems I always get myself in trouble at interviews, especially when women interview me. They always have some sort of superficial superiour attitude and it stinks! That is the trouble with people in this country...the whole 'superiour' attitude is just not necessary...nor is a 'patronising' or 'condescending' attitude necessary.

Just being honest, relating to people and being a good role model is the way forward don't u think? Lets face it, the older you get...the more responsibilities you hold, especially when it comes to teaching the younger generation about life as they are the people who will be looking after you in the future.

Also, when it comes to relationships...yes normally they don't work out but we should all try to learn something from them (not love guys!!).

This is what shapes us as individuals.

Start your own business. Worked for me. Then you will meet the right chap incidentally.

My other reply wasn't serious.

Maybe there is a personal reaction going on - between you and the interviewer? If it's someone, say, older than you and you are intelligent, articulate and attractive (as you are) - they may be adopting this superficially superior attitude to try to deal with that. They may see you as a threat (in various ways). It's not very professional, but people who are not trained or don't do many interviews sometimes do that.
What you have to do is try to keep it impersonal and just deal with it rationally. This can be very difficult, but what I'd suggest is a lot of role-play using your family and friends.
What you have to get over is that they are - in fact, in this situation - superficially superior to you - aren't they? And they are stopping you from getting the job! Don't let you join them in stopping you getting the job too, by reacting to that attitude!
Ask any of your (actor-type) friends to role-play this scenario and other ones (sexist, disinterested, aggressive, etc) and to stay 'in character' until you give some agreed signal. Do it over and over again - different things will come up on each 'play'. Use it to learn to deal with the hardest questions they could ask you. (And you know what those are!) So you learn to stay calm, rational and impersonal - no matter what gets thrown at you. And you go in to any interview with a quiet confidence that you can deal with anything that happens.
Good luck!
