<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1338651, member: 26302&quot;]Jason, its a good question. I don&#039;t know why it is about the whole male ego thing. I have a cousin I am close to like a brother. Always kidding around, etc. I have always done better than him financially, but now his job is paying about as well as mine, and with his wife&#039;s income they make more than me, and they got a great deal on a house in foreclosure. I just start to feel competitive, and I have no reason whatsoever to be competitive with him. I think its just ancient, &quot;leader of the pack&quot; pre-programmed into all males.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding in person versus online, I actually like online. You look like a pretty big guy Jason, so you can probably relate. When someone sees you in person they are kind of intimidated if you are larger than them, and not as open to discussion. I just think all of the stuff related to size differences affects interactions besides all of the other stuff like body language. I find myself on the other side of this with my friend&#039;s brother. He is 6&#039;10&quot; and about 320 pounds. For some reason I keep thinking of him as slow when I talk to him, but he is a bright man. I think the world just has this view of all bigger guys as &quot;lenny&#039;s&quot;, and to be smart a guy has to be short and skinny, (preferably with glasses). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> All of this &quot;crud&quot; is being dealt with in person, making it harder to actually listen to the other person. After a while it goes away, as I find a friend at the coin club who is 6&#039;4&quot; I can listen to just as easily now as another who is shorter and heavier. I got past the physical and simply love to learn from both of these respected experts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my view of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
