"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

what do you do if you cant stand a coworker, like if you really hate and despise the guy, but you have to work in the same area as him?

keep in mind, you can only ignore the guy for so long, before you have to deal with him again. he is pretty much like ****blocker.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Survival of the fittest. Display traits and behaviour of true alpha male. You can also leave the job.

Letting him affect you will make it worth.


Alpha male is a lot about body language, so you can stake your claim without ever saying a bad word.

Make friends with other coworkers, thus his assh*ole ways will be dampened by your alliances with other coworkers. Otherwise put up or get out.

I work with guy that doesn't like ...and i'm kind of indiferent to him......we can go weeks without saying a single word to eachother...and we work 5 feet from each other.

you just gotta deal with it and do your own thing, and not let people and things bother you.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You can't stand him for personal reasons, or b/c he's just an @$$ to everyone?

Anyway, you really have three options.

1. Do nothing. Continue interacting w/him as you have before.
2. Freeze out. Completely ignore this guy, get other people to ingnore him too.
3. Termination. Get the guy fired. Yeah it's extreme, but if he deserves it... well, why not?

I'm an advocate of option 2, although I have had to use option 3 two times.

"Hmm, he didn't pass a random drug test?" :trouble:

Sometimes it just so happens that these test are prompted by an anonymous call....

Sometimes somebody buys coffee for everyone in the office... just to be nice. Who knows what those crazies at Starbucks put into those drinks...

Sometimes there is a drug test the next day. The rest is history...

i think both. but i may be a bit biased also, and that it may be that i just cant stand him for personal reasons. when i first started working at the office, he was an azzhole, then things cooled off when i tried to be nice to him for awhile just so he'd get off my back. then he became a real prick when he found out i was ignoring him, and talking to everyone else. lol

I don't know if you want to do this, but there is one other route you can take.

Go to your HR department, claim that this person is harassing you, and creating a hostile work environment. Just have actual proof as to how this guy is being a pain. Or be sure that your co-workers would back up your story, and not his.

If nothing else, if there is a conflict with that person later on, you're already on record as having reported the problem.

Still, as I said before, I'm an advocate of option 2.
