What a flattering thing to tell someone :confused:

It's hard to discuss this stuff with people you know in person cause it can come across as antygin from showing off to putting down and anythign else in between yet we think we will be able to do better, and be udnerstood & understand better, with just the typed word.... over the internet...

Sorry weg, I am not tyring to match wits with you / make you out to be wrong I just asked dont; you liketlak investing etc with your firends or peopel you now ? The off topic thing was also not having a go at you, but an attempt at a humnourous observation

So you don't discuss your needs / wants / etc with friends, only wqith strangers ? :confused: A bit off topic from discussing investing at work aren't we !

I am definitely not talking about 18 yr olds. If my neice talked to me aobut it, I wouldn;t hae mentioned it I was trying to talk in the same ein as this thread about talkign investing vs. other subjects and how it received. The I PHONE app was one general example of many, not a literal...

How's that solve it ? You just said, you and your friends won't talk investing etc either.... I'e discussed sustff when peopel have mentioneed it first, rought up things I "found out about recently" that I didnt know, as a way of moving the subject towards "possibilities" from the...

I have a bit more interest than ZERO in taking crap, like other males do.. But I have been finding lately that I easily get frsutrated at how shallow things and people seem sometiem.. ...ALL I hear is crap crap crap crap like how I'm odd cause I dont use that new I PHONE application...

Not everyone is interested in other people's financial acheivements, who would have known ? Should they be ? and should they be willing to listen weehn I am ready and wanting to talk about myself, i.e. when I feel like popping it into a conversation ?

Yep, the clasisic, "I already know the answers - it's........ which is why I can't be f**ked listening to this crap anymore" Happens with money as well as other things in life I truly doubt we have found the holy grail and one & only thing that illicits these reactions

I'm not disagreeing that people refrain from talking about things due to the reactions they know they will receive - hell, I know this all to owell from my own experiences on many topics... I'm just saying it is not in anyway limited to talking about investing and that people do this in all...

I still disagree I bought another house is not akin to I need to lose weight I bought another house is akin to I'm gonna try to win yet a nother marathon I have seen people roll their eyes at hearing someone go on about thigns like that a lot Same goes for investing. Again, I am...

wylie, it soudns to me what you're saying is - you can be bored with soemthing someon eyour;e not interested in. And that is the ay peopel also react to us when we start discussing investing. So investing is not different to anythign else, jsut cause th eperosn who is talking about it finds...

That doesn't sound too different for the reasons that discussions on investement dont; go down too well either, despite deltaberry's insistence that this is not sensible. I 'm still convincedinvesting is not a magic different topic with it's own unqiue reactions, but rhater just another...

How the hell did I become an investor when I have do so much wrong, I mean, I don't even know how to be sensible.

"For some reason " That would suggest you can't understand why that is (?) Surely you can stretch your mind and understand ppeople, of which you & I arand the rest of us investors are still part of and behave EXACTLY the same, wheter we like to admit it or not !!! I ahve seen some very...

this is true, but I wonder if it's more true about property investing than any other area of life that someone is trying to make an improvement in ?

I'm assuming Dazz is younger than me, though not ny much. If he's an old dog, what's that make me ?:mad: :) I found it interesting, people who don't invest tend to "already know" the answers to everything, including why they can't do it. Those who know more, are more patient to hear the...
