    I give my trust to those I've known over huge periods of time. It makes deception, or any kind of charade of love difficult on their part.

    And when I say difficult, I mean nearly impossible.

    Answer: Of the girlfriends I've had my policy was: "Trust, but confirm"

    ;)

      I dont agree with this at all.

      Someone one told me that people are going to do what they are going to do regardless if you trust them or not. It is better to give them the benefit of the doubt and trust them unless they do something to break that trust.

      You cannot have a happy romantic relationship with out trusting each other. So might as well start out with trusting one another from the get go and continue trusting each other. If someone breaks that trust than thats a different story. It is very difficult to rebuild trust.

        Someone once told me the same. Then I got fucked over by people I trusted multiple times. Only a fool would carry on trusting people. Better to have a reason to trust somebody than to do it just because. In my books - never put yourself in a situation where anybody can hurt you or take something away from you. Always protect yourself. Give nothing away.

          You sounds so bitter, and I bet you are young too. Not all people are the same though. Just because a couple of assholes fucked you over doesnt mean that another person will. I judge a person's character based on their merits not on my past experiences and hang ups. I always give people the benefit of the doubt but when they break my trust thats it I end up cutting them off.

            You're very condescending if anything there should be varied levels of trust but never full trust in anyone or even your own decisions. when your trust is broken blame yourself for being naive enough to run with the blinders on

            I'm not young, and if you don't learn from your life experiences what's the point?

      My ex had the same rule as #1. He never broke it. People with this rule will never be happy because they will be very lonely through life.

        Thanks for telling me how you think I'm never going to be happy and will lead an incredibly lonely life. So insightful.

          He lives by it and he is miserable. He has no friends and doesn't talk to his family. Once I'm gone he will have no one. He is depressed because of the way he lives. I wish you luck and hope you don't end up like him.

            I have many friends and I talk to my family. I'm extremely happy because of the way I live. I will never end up like him. I'm not him.

              'never put yourself in a situation where anybody can hurt you or take something away from you. Always protect yourself. Give nothing away.' This is very contradicting with what you wrote above. I think you need to loosen up man. Or else you WILL feel miserable. Just saying.

        I was just wandering through but now I'm here I think I'll stay around a bit. I may not be here as much as I was, though. Most of the electronics for me to build robots arrives on Monday and I'm going to be a busy little geek. :D

            Well, it's mainly decided by the inputs and outputs I have coming. I have about ten including proximity, flex, temperature (as input sensors) and the usual outputs (mainly light and noise and power to servos). What I'm missing and I want to replicate are GPS, image recognition, compass, accelerometer and outputs to drive multiple wheels or rotors (I'd ideally like something that can fly).

            Pet project given what I have is to build a 3D graph of the temperature in my living room and then watch it change when I turn on various devices (in particular my space heater). I'd like to get it as a video. The interesting bit isn't the graph but about building something that can navigate in 3D, be aware of where it is, and where it needs to be.

            Probably a bit ambitious. If I end up with a home made remote-control media server which plugs into the TV and winks LEDs at me saucily to tell me certain things, I'll be happy with that too.

              If it's navigating in 3D and you're working with temperature and time as well, wouldn't that need to be a 5 dimensional graph? Or am I misunderstanding?

              Anyway, I would actually be really interested in that graph, but I figured it wasn't the primary objective, since I doubt that would be the easiest or most precise way to do it. Now I'm trying to think of how I would do it, though, and it's an interesting problem. I know very little about robotics (more than most people, but that's really not saying much), and most of my background is in astronomy and astrophysics, so my approach would be very different. My first instinct is thermal imaging using a series of cameras in different positions, because they could take images simultaneously. But that poses its own problems (like exposure time and getting images to calculate accurate cross sections without cameras obscuring each other, although there might be an obvious solution to that second one that my brain is just refusing to produce at the moment), and I'm not thinking clearly enough at 4 AM to figure out exactly how it would work.

              Actually, even once you have the data you need, I'm not really sure how to represent it in a useful way. If we're looking at a single cross section, it's fairly easy, but it seems like it would be difficult to graph in a way that makes much of anything apparent that couldn't be achieved just as easily with a table. Again, though, it's past 4 AM and I haven't slept, so I might look at this later and realise that I'm being stupid.

    Trust isn't a case of something you have or something you don't. It's a scale. Trusting anyone 100% I find difficult, but I certainly trust some people 99.99%.

    • Hey fortunately for you I created a poll option for you.

      You can thank me for leaving no stone unturned ;)

      Anyway I made this poll to gauge other people's level of trust for their partner, mainly cause I have a difficult time with trust although my gf has not givin me any reason not to.

      She isn't the problem, my past relationships are, but I seem to be taking it out on her. I'm trying not to ruin it by being overtly jealous but it is difficult.

      Anyway... carry on people. And may you be happy in your relationships and life in general.

        Yeah, trusting is hard and I guess it must be especially hard when you've had that trust abused in the past. Good luck with your relationship too :)

    I trust my girlfriend. It just sucks that guys are always hitting on her when I am not around. She ends up being spooked when a guy approaches her and she gets on the phone with me immediately. I sometimes have to stay on the phone with her so people think she is occupied and cannot talk lol.
