Ok, I have just re-read the thread. Cloudy, I do agree with Rude's opinion.....you did sorta slate Hunter's op.
I don't know how you can say that relying on yourself is sad. It is the best way. I love my gf Stacey, and have been with her for over a year now. I trust her. But I don't trust her with everything. She can be trusted, but I don't always place my trust in her.
I prefer myself. Also, my above point was proven: you said: "I feel bad for someone who can't find a connection"(or something similar). Who said that he/she wants your sympathy? Offering unwanted sympathy can make someone feel very small, especially if they don't feel that it is warranted. I think that your comments are unjust, when this is an opinionated matter.
I myself have never been a fan of the gym, but if that person feels that there mentor is the Iron, so be it. It is their choice. After all, the question that was posed was : "Who is your mentor?". If they say the Iron, then the Iron it is. I think that it should be left at that, and for you to comment on how that person cannot find a companion either as a partner or a friend is totally out of order. I have many friends, and have had many gf's, but the best place for your problems, is with you (or an inanimate object such as "the iron"). Not burderning anyone else.
