Ya know relooking at your pics. Is this one of your jokes?
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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.
You're obviously very proud of your girlfriends appearance. It's a good thing, but you seem to post her picture all over this board. I'm not sure if she'd be so happy about that.cordoncordon said:Hey comic, you look and seem like a nice guy. Friendly, outgoing......nice. Kinda nerdy in how you dress, but nice. I think you could realllllllly improve your look if you:
worked out-gained at least 30 pounds
grew your hair out-a fauxhawk would be cool
improved your clothing/dress
Now, don't take this as mean ok? I mean you put the pics up so you obviously want to be judged by them. Your gf. Ummmm. I'm sure she is nice and giving to you. Would have to be right? But.....wow, she just is not good looking dude. Maybe a 3. At best. You are definitely better looking then her, and with the right improvements, could be wayy better looking. On the other hand, she really does look like a guy dressed up as a woman. Weird. That being said, you obviously both really care for each other by how you look at each other, and with as much as you have pics of her on your my space, you are obviously proud to be with her, and that means something.
But if you were putting up her pics because you wanted validation here, its not gonna happen.
Here's a pic of my gf. I think she's great, but I would still only give her an 8 or so being realistic, so compare that to the girl you think is an 8.........

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

i think were just poking fun...lighten up man. I think what youre talking about is the Mature Man forum..belividere said:For fvcks sake this thread has made me realize how pathetic this site really is. Comic - absolutely nothing to do with your pics (I didn't even look at them to be honest) the responses by a bunch of guys are fvcking pathetic.
Unless you are willing to put pics up of the girls you actually have been with (and by been with I mean not just jerked off to on the internet) then dont talk **** about guys who will.
As much as I hate it when people ask for new forums on this site, I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest that ss puts up a members only section where guys who dont wont to be ridiculed by virgins can actually share useful advice. Maybe then this site can progress past the high schoolers who want to touch their first boob to a forum where guys who get laid don't have to be ridiculed by those that dont.
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.
ugh huh...iqqi said:Comic seems to truly love his girl, and that is better than any number scale. Besides, true beauty is within. I wouldn't be surprised if CR came back here and told us all that his girl is considered a catch where he lives, because everyone is blinded by her inner beauty!
ugh huh...Maxtro said:While I don't think she is the most attractive woman in the world, she is still a lot better than what the vast majority of guys here have, which is nothing.
For all we know she could be a really great person. There are tons of stuff that we don't know about her. I'm sure comic_relief is into her because of who she is, not just how she looks.
