What is your greatest Weakness?

[Alex Lieberman]

What does your weakness cost you?

Mine is shoes and sushi. Both cost me a fortune and the sushi... more time on the treadmill.

[FLWrite]

Pastries of any kind. And yes, treadmill.

Of a more inedible nature, fountain pens. Silver and gold, silver and gold...

Tech stuff. But it doesn't cost me much. I don't have the budget or the knowledge.

Love. So f'ing expensive for me. Particularly in relationship to my (then) working interest. I couldn't work and it was expensive.

Now? I love watches and wine (and alliteration ;-). Of course, I look forward to being deeply in love again someday. Later.

Weakness


I don't keep a lot of secrets
But the ones I do will die with me
It's not because I'm hiding something
A trusted friend I try to be

But when every adversary lies in wait to test me
My world they would undo
And they'd break me down to nothing if they only knew

That you are my weakness, my weakness
You're my Achilles' Heel
The flame that melts the steel in my heart

I don't pretend to be objective
I will always come down on your side
But every time I see or hear or smell you
My bias grows more hard to hide

And when the truth must be protected
I find myself distracted
My duty I abuse
And in the battle's clamor
The flaw within my armor
Might shake the secret loose

There's no ties
As far as anybody knows, no surprise
As far as anybody knows, you and I
As far as anybody knows, have no ties
And as far as they know, my will is bulletproof
And I'd be no good to no one
If they knew the truth

That you are my weakness, my weakness
You are my Kryptonite
The sun that shines a light on my soul

One of our frequent posters here (I don't remember which one) once said that if he ever has the urge to get married again, he'll just find a woman he hates and give her $40,000.

Trysts outside of my marriage.

And cars and stuff.

Great food and great wine.

Mine is that pale southern smooth skin, beautiful blue eyes and an ass that you could bounce a quarter on. I have no defense for that.

And I agree with Charles. If I ever want to get married again, take me to the fish market and beat the shit out me with a dead tuna

[JadeNow]

Sushi, and dark chocolate! The best of both is definitely expensive. I was blessed with an astronomical metabolism, so I eat 'til I can't afford anymore!
On the non-materialistic side, I'd say TRUST is the most expensive weakness ever.

[nevergaveitathought]

my greatest weakness is also my greatest strength..my hardheadness.

its brought me this far and at the same time it constantly breaks me.

it has brought me my greatest pleasures and has the power to be the source of my greatest lament.

[pjorourke]

My weakness is pretty obvious - posting on these message boards.

[ClairJordan]

Freedom. I like keeping my options open.
They say your responsbility is also your salvation.

[WTF]

Not knowing your weakness is the number one problem for peeps under 35, not being able to do anything about it is the number one problem for people over 35

My bodily weakness is fine lingerie and things that feel good against my skin. This can get very expensive...
My mental weakness is buying website domain names and off the cuff business ideas that usually go nowhere (but are really fun- and I'm going to the CES under a semi-legit site I came up with...). This costs me between $12 for the domain name, a ton of time, and occasionally more money than my other weakness.
