A few years' work could be in vain if the reception be bad. As a reference point, which writer, be it contemporary or classical, do you feel has a lively and engaging prose style? You could enumerate journalists and such. I actually wish I could speak as boringly and bombastically as I write, but that is not the case. I often speak fast and fail to enunciate words. It usually takes some people a second hearing to comprehend what it was I said. This is something I am trying hard to work on.

I studied Art in school and have done nothing with my drawing/painting talent (which I have begun to regret). I really need to find a legitimate source of income, but I fear the profession I choose will be male-dominated.

Yes I do often go to clubs alone..usually I split the weekend into one lone trip and one get-together night with friends. The reason I prefer the former is that friends may paradoxically hem you in. For instance, last weekend two of my friends had pre-gamed more than is necessary and grew ill at a bar. We had to leave early, and both threw up multiple times. My passenger seat sopped up the last retching. I guess club going alone is a liberating experience. True, woman find it creepy and often spurting out a minor lie that your friends are milling about the place will greatly enhance your chances. Still this past Friday night I had hooked up with a girl. Webster continues to yield. Granted, I had a friend there but he was lost amidst a sea of ecstasy addicts.

To respond to another comment, certainly beauty is only so important. If the girl be borderline retarded then I won't linger around. But, by the same token, if the girl be intelligent but sporting a cosmetically-unredeemable mug, unquestionably will my reaction not be any different.

Do you always use 400 words to say what use mere mortals say in 50 words? Cause I can see where that might get irritating for most women.

1) I said in the post I do not speak as I write. 2) You think it is possible to pack as many details into 50 words? Give me a break. I would like to see a mere mortal reconstruct everything I just said into 50 words. Perhaps, some details could stand to be excised, but your criticism struck me as relating to redundancy. Exactly when in that post did I say the same thing? For what it's worth, I don't profess to be a great writer, but many writers whom many profess to be great are more verbally self-indulgent than I.
