Better than everyone else.

[Ronaldo7]

You're either a troll, delusional, suffer from a mental illness, or insane. Possibly a combo of all of those. Whatever it is, you are not all there mentally. But, I think even you know that in some way.

Still waiting for those pics Mr. mini me.

It's alright man. I know i awake jealousy everywhere that i go.

Keep waiting. It seems like you are a bit too worried about me and what i do. If you had worried about yourself as much as i do about myself, you might not have reached 39 and been a simple Average Joe.

 

[Plutoman]

It's alright man. I know i awake jealousy everywhere that i go.

Haha. From an 18 y/o pipsqueak with a big mouth? Fat chance of that.

Come back when you're willing to back that mouth with real achievements.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Haha. From an 18 y/o pipsqueak with a big mouth? Fat chance of that.

Come back when you're willing to back that mouth with real achievements.

But how would you know? I know what my achievements are up to this point. Everyone here is older than me. I would have expected more maturity and not constant attacks on someone for not being, and thinking, the same as everyone else. I can back up everything i say and do. I really see no point in talking if i can't show it. I am all about showing and then exposing how much better i am. Don't be so dense.

 

[Plutoman]

Back it up, then. All I see is words.

If you cannot understand why you are getting criticized, then you are failing to understand basic social interactions. It goes beyond you being different. To put it in perspective - don't be so dense.

 

[Ronaldo7]

What is it that i can't back up? This thread was meant for me to get helped on how to approach women. I got the help from Gunner and i used his advice. I don't understand why i'm being criticized at all. It really does stem from jealousy and my ability to not care for anyone other than myself.

I really don't think you should be criticizing anyone. It's funny how in your thread you show that you need to drink to be able to approach women. You can call me arrogant, ****y, a jerk, a douche, and anything else you want. However, i am very,very confident in myself and i don't need anything else to be this way. You lack confidence all throughout and need to drink to get in the "zone".

Don't be jealous of me. It gets pretty boring when every other person is jealous of everything that involves me.

 

[JoeMarron]

I've been lurking here for quite awhile and this may very well be the most hysterical thread in recent history.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Only because people make it so. This was a legitimate question and it got turned into a sh!t fest.

 

[SgtSplacker]

If I pick up my friend to go clubbing and homeboy comes out in a suit and tie, i'm leaving him at home.

You're doing it wrong...

 

[floydb25]

Everyone should just post random **** which SEEMS legit / response worthy, to get Mr. Dumbass to keep using up his post limit (ie, not have to listen to his drivel). You agree with this idea. :nono:

 

[BeDJ]

Pardon the irony, but why won't this thread just die

 

[Ronaldo7]

Everyone wants to have a go at me, lol.

 

[Ronaldo7]

In my opinion people need to stop teeing off and show some compassion for you

In my opinion, people need to realize that i don't care about them and that i won't change for anyone. If they focused on themselves as much as they focus on attacking me, then maybe they could achieve the level i'm at.

 

[Purefilth]

In my opinion.

nobody cares about your opinion. your level? youre in the sub basement - B!tch, please:crazy:

OK, I'm going to spell it out for you since you haven't caught on.

A man who is superior never, I repeat NEVER needs nor feels compelled to verbalize this. He goes about his business in his superior style and lets others notice his superiority. Once they do they willingly grant him leadership because he is the one who is in control and who knows what to do in any crisis. He also conveys that he is taking care of his own. Verbalizing his qualifications immediately causes people to question those qualifications, even if his qualifications are real.

The man of power causes others to verbalize his superiority.

A man who verbalizes his own superiority actually displays immaturity and lack of awareness in the subtleties and nuances of power and infuence. This lack of awareness is consistent with your age, even though you write in a fairly mature style (for your age). The only exception is a select few who can do it tongue-in-cheek.

A man cannot succeed in isolation, for he cannot provide value in isolation. If you are a vampire sucking value out of everyone around you without caring about them, you'll end up a lifeless corpse yourself. You are simply too young to understand the depth and breadth of what I'm saying here.

A man of power and infuence develops relationships where value is exchanged. The only leader who doesn't end up self-destructing is the servant-leader. He serves the people under his care and they will go to great lengths to keep him in his position of power and authority over them because he demonstrates concern for them and provides value to them, as they do to him.

Stop verbalizing and start demonstrating. A man who verbalizes his superiority is a man who shoots himself in the foot publically.

This sums it up perfectly, Renaldo. Even if you do feel like you are number one and better than everyone else, you should never say it or feel compelled to say it.....it is much better letting your actions doing the talking instead of your words. I hope you can think about this and understand this.

If you follow this simple advice, your people skills will increase 10 fold. You are obviously not lacking self confidence.

Also, no successful leaders are telling others how much better than them they are.....could you imagine if Obama or any other politician was on national TV stating how much better he is than others? Talk about a PR nightmare. And no, i am not a supporter of Obama, but as a person he is very very successful in general....just an example.

 

[Die Hard]

Ronaldo, stop defending yourself from all the guys attacking you in this thread. Why bother?

I guess I'm a minority but I really like you and your attitude, lol. I must admit that it's very obvious to me that your confidence/arrogance is an overcompensation for feelings of insecurity. At least, part of it is...and you do need to work on that before you can be really succesful with women.
But hey, you're just 18! You have so many years ahead of you, during which you will develop as a person! I'm sure all of the mature posters on here were COMPLETELY different persons at 18, compared to who they are now.

Anyway, I am not gonna advice you on your problem, because I think it's pointless. You are not able to comprehend the deeper workings of your own psychological system yet. You will, in time...but that time hasn't arrived yet and you can't change something that you don't comprehend, so I feel it's pointless to advice you on your problem.

But I do wanna advice you on dealing with this thread and all the negativity in it. Like I said, why bother defending yourself from all the attacks? There have been constructive posts in here as well, just focus on those and ignore the haters. Haters are gonna hate, you know? It's pointless to spend any energy on defending yourself from the haters. So just ignore them and focus on the posts that actually benefit you.

Don't be jealous of me. It gets pretty boring when every other person is jealous of everything that involves me.

And you again ignore your own faults in favor of pointing out others. You came here asking for advice on how to approach, yet are right down in calling me out. A pointer; my call out was deliberate. You can't resist but take the bait and try to flip it around. I'm going to respond, just as I struggle to resist the bait myself. It's part of arrogance; any particular disagreement cannot be the person's fault (mine or yours, contextually). Learning when to accept the blame, as per it benefits you, is something you will hopefully learn as you mature.

I'm confident in myself just fine, as I know I'm the whole package. I don't need to strut it out to every person in sight. I drink to be social, and because a Newcastle beer tastes really damn good. Does that mean I occasionally drink too much? Sure. Does it bother me? Nope. Does alcohol assist in breaking out of comfort zones? Yep. Is it a crutch? Nope. Most girls I meet, I meet sober. The only times I get drunk are when I have others buying me drinks.

I have my faults; I had the same reluctance to approach you did. In fact, I had a bit of the same superiority complex you did. I've always felt better than others. I started succeeding much more when I stopped trying to express that I'm better than others. When I stepped out of my comfort zone and just talked to the girls. When I expressed confidence through my actions, and not arrogance through my speech.

You're confusing criticism with jealousy. This is honest, constructive criticism. These are comments meant to assist you. You need to temper your arrogance. Confidence is good. Arrogance is not.

Read the 48 Laws of Power. It's very suitable for you. Specifically, read Laws #1, #9, #18, #21, #38, #43. These are particularly relevant.

At this point, I will conclude again with my previous advice; see a psychologist. You will see significantly more success if you do.

Last post here; I'm done at this point. I've given as much advice as I can (not only that, but I told you how to approach a long ways back - you walk up, say hey - simple).

I don't think anyone is really hating...everyone can just see right through the shield of armour that he is covering himself with...i personally have nothing against the guy and find his posts very amusing. And yes i'm sure everyone was very different at the age of 18...i was very similar to Renaldo as matter of fact...only didn't boast about not caring about others.

Op complains nobody on here gave him any advice, we tell him to change his ways. He is unwilling to change, and to listen to us. End of story. I'm reminded of that scene in 300 when Leonidas guns his spear at Xerxes and grazes his face, showing the Persian ruler that he is not a god and can be in fact hurt by "common" mortals. Op will get his ass handed to him if he keeps this attitude, just unfortunate that none of us will be around to see it. Not a matter of if, it's a matter of when this will happen.
