dude...no. if she can't take you for 100% then be aware your 2.whatever% will become a tool to try to emotionally wreck you. guilt, guilt, guilt....
just watch that 2.whatever% keep going up...bet ya.
This may not be your case, i'm just familiar with such a case.

If your really serious about each other make sure this isn't something that might explode in the near or far future.

oh, and unless she's being silly or something, anyone who who rates others in a percentage fashion should return to junior high poofy-fuzz gaga Girlyland.

And am I guessing correctly to estimate her age at somewhere below or very near the legal drinking age? If she's young this sort of thing is natural...insecurity and all that.

By-the-way, most people who say you think too much have a reason to keep you from thinking. Obsession is unhealthy and a cause for concern..thinking, however, is what humans do. Those trying to get you to think less are thereby trying to make you less human. Think George Bush.

Anyway, just be ready to give and take if you really love her. You wouldn't be here if ya didn't care. good luck.

The fact that she sees these two qualities as negative ones raises big warning flags for me.

Translation: "Is he going to have a high-paying job? Will I be able to live in a luxurious manner? Is he going to be flabby when he's fifty ('cause I hate flabby men, goshdarnit!)? And why can't he keep his stinkin' paws off of me? I should only have to do THAT once a week or so...but if only he'd slap me around with some confidence while he was doing it, I might be able to have an orgasm! I just LOVE a man in control who only thinks about puttin' me in my place!"

(Apologies to all the intelligent women on this site)

I am SO glad that I'm a heterosexual female. Women suck, and I'm sorry that you guys have to deal with this sort of crap.

Fellow Infidels! Stop fantacizing.
It may be that Checkmate puts people off by showing his intelligence too much.
It may be that your fears are right.
It may be that the relationship is good and you are all scaring the sh*t out of him unecessarily.
We do know. Checkmate and his girl must sort this out themselves.

2.4%? Well at least she's precise!

2.4% LOL is she an engineer or scientist?

I lack motivation
for what? is this a synonym for *ambition* or chores?

I don't get enough exercise
A good thing to try to change.

I'm too horny
tell her to just wait, or "bank that feeling". Women reach their peak of desiring amorous activity at about 35, "men" at 17. It's a cruel joke.

I'm not confident enough
Can be discouraging for extroverts. remind her that you're not threatened by her confidence and your lack of confidence does not translate into lack of happiness - or does it?

I think too much
about what? The task before doing it? Philosophy?


I think it's wonderful that you two are exploring what you do and don't like. Just don't let the conversation drop there. You may find some terrific common ground if you continue to explore what you each MEAN by those statements.

Technically speaking, since she likes 95% of things about you, the things she doesn't like are 5%. Now that religion is 2.4% of you, but it's a whopping 48% of what she doesn't like about you! Now, to look at it that way could be somewhat depressing, since nearly half of what she doesn't like is that you're an evil atheist (I'm gonna need to see your EAC membership card ), or OTOH if you can convince her that atheists can be good, moral people, then nearly half your problem is gone!

Good luck!
