Things you will never "get" in life

['andersom']

I've never understood the shoes thing at all though

I mean who even notices people's shoes?? Your eyes are up here ^ while you're feet are all the way down there  v

And shoes are bound to get messy , especially in certain weather and stuff

That's what I don't get. For some women, it apparently is second nature to check out a man's shoes
and make a split-second judgment. Good luck, ladies, you take the hipsters and leave me the dorks!   

LOL, I only know men who check out woman's shoes.

If men are checking out my  shoes, well, that explains why I'm still single!

I don't get them either. Why do they go to so much trouble to cause pain?

To overcome their deap-seated insecurities.

Agressive people are always insecure.

I wonder what they think of my battered old hiking boots.

  Games.  Card games, board games, outdoor games, video games.  The only  game I play is
  Chinese checkers.  Especially, my brain isn't wired to understand the rules of card games.
  It's all impenetrable gibberish to me.  I don't see where the fun is.  I'll never understand it.

Chess. I will never get it.

  Oh yeah, that's way over my head.  My brother plays a little, I never even attempted it.

I tried playing with my ex-boyfriend a very long time ago and he ended up throwing pieces at me in frustration!

Ah yes.  The famous "Ikea Gambit" first used by Kasparov against Fischer.

The differences between PA and me.

PA - chess, Russian, nonfiction (only) must be surrounded by sound, industrious, hates travel..............
Me - scrabble, fiction or nonfiction, prefer quiet, lazy, likes traveling

Note - I took Russian in college (1 year), but don't remember much. I'd prefer to renew my acquaintance with Latin.

Lit should come back.

That method he used; "Lingua Latina per se illustrata", by Hans H. Ørberg is really good. I'm in book one, "Familia Romana", it is fun.

  I don't think I "get" loneliness.  I am never lonely in my apartment.  I love sleeping alone.
  Years ago, actress Louise Fletcher (then 49, as I am now) was interviewed about her solo life since
  she'd gotten divorced and her relationship with young boyfriend Morgan Mason had ended.  She said
  something like, "It's no fun sleeping alone, but I'm getting used to it."    ... I don't get that.
