Not even close. I listen way more than I talk, and I don't like talking about myself. I'm not bad looking either (and not fat). I'm just a shy loser.

You are a male, older than age 25, and have no tangible hope of being married at the moment. You want to be married, but that woman (or man) seems to be eluding you. Here is why.
You have a personality problem. You are a bad listener and, when in a conversation with someone, you only like to hear yourself talk. You interrupt people or hardly give them a chance to speak. If you do let them speak, its only because you need a moment to think of what you're about to say.
You are a self centered person and are incapable of investing mentally and emotionally in someone else, which is what they need. People sense this and you are like long term relationship repellant. They just seem to scatter somehow.
Good luck.

I think you've pretty much nailed me there, except I've been married for 31 years.

How much power does that setup pull?

Not as bad as it looks actually, about 400 watts. The bottom 4 SAN enclosures are always off, those pull like 900w together. :eek: I've even been debating on taking them out, but they're not worth anything to sell so I just keep them there till I need the rack space. They do work, the drives show up individually on the main file server and I have a few raid arrays off them that I use for occasional backups. (have more backups other than that of course)

Added a new VM server which is not in those pics. The file server is also nearly full of drives now now. About 19TB of usable redundant space. Only using like 1/3 of that.

I am 40 years old and I own my own houses, lands and business. I have NEVER been married and no kids that I know of:)

I have dated MANY women with kids and grandchildren before. My present woman is 7 years older than me with 2 kids and 4 grandchildren.

That is how I roll.

You're not married because you shave your shoulders and have pc hardware specs in your sig.

All of this. I once had a conversation with an attractive female coworker that went from the evening into the following dawn, and I feel confident saying that I spoke no more than ~25% of the time (more likely ~15%). And not because of any expectations or anything, I just enjoy talking with pleasant people.

Sometimes you see people miserable in marriages.... and that's enough for you to say "yeah fuck that."
