I have a friend who is 5'4" and he gets laid all the time because he is a funny alcoholic and a persistent creep. They aren't all great looking, but he doesn't seem to mind. Probably gets rejected 10x more than his game actually works, but he gets laid.

Growing up as a fat kid myself, I was forced to develop a badass personality. As soon as I got into fitness and shit like that everything became much easier. But I'm still a nice guy, and don't hate women like Clay does.

I don't try; I have no game, and I'm okay with that. It's all confidence and I have none of that. When you wake up every morning and realize who you are and have to put on a false front just to impress people who wouldnt normally give a shit about you, it doesn't seem worth it.

Untucked is passable, but runs the risk of sloppy.

If you're going to go untucked, it's usually best to do it with shorts in summer.

I have no clue what he looks like, but he seems to me to be the overly intellectual type. Kind of socially awkward in the sense that he hits on chicks that are not as intelligent, and his advances go over their heads. That, or he hits on the intellectual chicks that are looking for bronze and less thinking.

Discuss Thrower....growing up I always thought I was a decent looking guy. I had the odd girl that was interested in me, but for the most part all my buddies got the attention from the girls. I had buddies who were not good looking, had terrible jobs, etc etc and they could get girls and I couldn't.

Eventually I met a great girl when I was 21 and have been married for 15 years now. Thats not the point though........

I always struggled with confidence growing up even though I had no reason to. About 8 yeas ago I started my own company. Well, it took off and I started to realize that I was good at my job and I didn't need to feel inferior to others. Because of the success of my business I started to feel better about myself. I started to gain confidence in who I was and it started paying off in all aspects of my life. There was a time would I would sit in a bar/pub in the corner with a sour look on my face. When my attitude changed and I became more confident everthing changed. Girls would just come up to me and talk to me. Girls who knew me before but never talked to me would all of a sudden start talking to me and flirting with me. Buddies who i went out with and would always pick up girls would be sitting there wondering why girls would come up and talk to me now. My whole life changed overnight and for one simple reason....... I smiled more.

Sometimes you just gotta put yourself out there and you will be surprised. Believe in yourself and people will pick up on it. Myself now, I don't care anymore what others think. I have a great wife and a couple kids and I couldn't care less about what I wear, what car I drive or what I do for work. But I will tell you one thing...I will never let my kids grow up with no confidence. Having no confidence ruined the first 30 years of my life and I won't let the happen to my kids.

Dont let it happen to you either. Just go out there and put yourself out there. And smile !!!!!!

That's what I would do if I were on an epic drought.

One of my buddies was on a 2.5 year drought and was thinking of getting a hooker and I told him not to, unless he could guarantee safety in not getting arrested... so we did lots of research to insure his safety.

Turns out there are review sites for hookers. The one we found was http://eccie.net He found one that had a couple of reviews and he was safe and got no police escort... but a live woman escort.

We did some math on it and called it "hookernomics" In the end, it's much cheaper to **** a hooker once or twice a month than to get married, have kids, buy a house, buy 2 cars, put kids through college, etc. LOL

Be safe dude.

Don't worry about all that. Just learn to be happy with yourself being single and don't dwell on being "alone". I've been divorced for 11 years and been single almost all of that time. I love the freedom to take vacations and go where ever I want at the drop of hat without having to make plans or ask permission. I only had 2k in the bank when I got divorced and now I am getting ready to close on a nice 3br house that I am paying cash for.

This points to some kind of depression or other emotional issues. It's a self-perpetuating thing as well in that you feel like shit, so you don't get laid. You don't get laid, so you feel like shit (and I hate boiling it down to sex, because the same formula likely applies to all sorts of other aspects of your life as well).

The answer is "stop being depressed," but we all know it's not as easy as that. Find some things that you enjoy that you're good at (preferably that involve physical activity, Xbox doesn't count). Engage in those things on a regular basis. Begin to feel better.

A little blog I wrote today.

My Dilemma

Does anyone else thing there’s a line to be found between “waiting and letting things happen to you” and “if you want something to happen, you have to make it happen”?

I so often hear from people that I need to just be patient and let things happen. I get what they’re saying, but what they don’t know is that I’ve been waiting for so long that it seems that it’s never going to happen.

At the same time, I hear from people that sometimes you just have to go out and make things happen. Whenever I do this, I always end up trying too hard, and then I get frustrated whenever trying too hard leads to the same things not happening.

I honestly believe that, at the very core of things, this is ultimately why I’m still single. I either wait and watch as other people end up with guys that I’m interested in, or I try too hard and end up coming across as clingy.

I’ve realized other past mistakes: wanting to feel needed, thinking I could change or “fix” people, changing who I am in order to be the type of person they want, etc. I really feel that I’ve hopefully fixed those problems. I now need to feel wanted, I’ve learned to accept people based on who they are right now, and I will never be anything but me.

This most recent problem, finding that line, is proving to be rather difficult. Do I play the waiting game? What if I end up waiting on one and overlook someone else in the process? At least if I go for it, I’ll end up knowing for sure. However, going for it typically lands me in the friend zone.

I get too comfortable with people too quickly, and I can never listen whenever I’m telling myself to shut up. I’m too trusting. I let people in on private details of my life too easily (apparently, lol). These are just part of who I am, though. Surely, there’s someone out there who’s able to look past them, or, better yet, accept them. Anyway, I seem to have gone off on a tangent.

Any advice for the relationship challenged? :)

You should definitely try the online dating thing. That way, what you both are looking for is out in the open, and you can't end up in the friend zone.

It's better for women than it is for men.

Whatever. Majority of guys are on there looking for the hookup. They say what they think women want to hear until they meet them. If you don't hook up with them, then they move on. How many times have you seen guys on here say they use it to find all kinds of strange?

My Dilemma

I honestly believe that, at the very core of things, this is ultimately why I’m still single. I either wait and watch as other people end up with guys that I’m interested in, or I try too hard and end up coming across as clingy.

I’ve realized other past mistakes: wanting to feel needed, thinking I could change or “fix” people, changing who I am in order to be the type of person they want, etc. I really feel that I’ve hopefully fixed those problems. I now need to feel wanted, I’ve learned to accept people based on who they are right now, and I will never be anything but me.

Any advice for the relationship challenged? :)

Stop thinking so much. What you said makes it seem like you're worried about everything, about other people, about yourself, your self image, how other people perceive you, about why this and about why that. Take it from someone who's dealt with this for his whole life: if you spend so much time in your own head obsessing about this stuff, you start to lose touch with the real world.

And it's not about waiting and watching, or about trying to make something happen. Because those are actually just opposite ways of doing the exact same thing. You're trying to force a relationship to happen. The difference being one approach is passive-aggressive and the other's more assertive, but in the end it's essentially the same move.

My advice is to just relax and let go and let life happen. Be open to things that come your way, and try not to stress yourself out.

I really don't know what the hell I'm doing in this thread. Boredom? Who knows. LMAO

But, I will say this... keg's advice is pretty damn solid, Luv.

Agreed. I've yet to find the off switch for the thinking portion of my brain though.

I don't think you need to turn it completely off, just replace your switch with a dimmer. :)

It's easier because you have a higher volume of dudes that you can screen for that kind of thing.

I'm not blind to the fact the XY set just wants sex. If you're savvy you can discern which ones fall into that category and the ones that aren't.

Not to hijack the thread, but I feel I'm in the same boat a lot of guys are in. It's hard for me to meet new people. First of all, I'm lazy. I don't go out a lot in the first place. I'm not a big bar or club guy. I've always found the whole hooking up at a bar or club thing a little silly. I mean, clearly it's effective for most people, but I'd rather meet someone by chance doing a random thing and have a relationship based on the fact that we liked one another, rather than just meeting someone because we were both "on the hunt at a big hunting ground and likely intoxicated". Also works the same way with the online dating thing. It's stupid for me to eliminate these tools I guess but I'm content being single for now.

I also would like a chance to meet new women in a setting where I can talk for a bit, because they're sure to fall in love once I start rattling off all the vile disgusting CP jokes I stole from SNR.

Meetup.com I guess. Not that I've used it but that's because I'm in a different situation than you are in.

The majority of guys everywhere are there looking for the hookup. You're going to have to work your way through that to find someone whether it's online, in a bar, or at the grocery store. A church group might be different, but I wouldn't count on it. You don't have to give it up though. And you can be honest about that in your profile to filter out some of the guy who aren't interested in trying very hard to get to know the you above the shoulders.

Have you ever met a roller derby girl?

Prison Bitch 03-18-2013 11:38 PM

There's only one sure way to meet women: get out and meet them. Be active, get out of the house, do tons of activities. Nobody ever met a girl playing video games or watching porn or posting on Chiefs Planet.


The vast majority of married people met their spouses through friends. Just a public service announcment. Women are leery of men by nature, as they should be. So if her friend knows you, that's a big plus for her.
