   @Bogusmeatfactory Good grief. You're so nice! This definitely has the vibe of people discriminating against your affect or something.

     "Very intimidating" is one of the weirdest assessments of me as a person. I do not hold some air of superiority, or claim that by being a man I must be respected. I have always been a person who is respectful, humble and compassionate. And that title has haunted my brain as a person. I am guessing I just look upset or something when I am focused and engaged.... because I've got nothing.

     I even worked with an agency to get me a job and they were absolutely dumbfounded at how every single opportunity resulted in me being turned down.

     When I was applying for a ultrasound tech program, I had met their pre-requisites, scored a 4.0 GPA and during our yearly meetings (did this for 3 years while waitlisted) was told outright that their program has had difficulty with men getting the required experience on the floor and that I was "Very intimidating." A term I've heard for so long.

     Found a job that might actually fit with my kids school schedule and it is TYPING. Here is my history with getting a typist job.

     Me: "Hi, here is my typing speed test clocking me at 86 wpm."

     Them: "We don't believe it. Take our test."

     *scores a 108 wpm*

     Them: "Wow that's amazing!"

     Me: "So I get the job?"

     Them: "...no."
