"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.
Susan, part two.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
You are missing the essential point. It really isn't exactly looks. From my point of view it seems as if every woman has an idea, or ideas in her head as to how a man for her should be. Looks aren't necessarily what tips the balance. It is more that the guy fit into her lifestyle and expectations.ketostix said:
I'm saying that I had easy access to these two Susan's because I was their kind of guy, my coolness, in their eyes, makes me more attractive than any objective rating as to my looks.

I have always debated you point for point. You are the one that responds with some version of "quit picking on poor little me" instead of actually responding. So don't even go there. Many don't even waste time on your threads anymore because of your inability to take or consider criticism. All your responses are either you being the victim of the iqqi click, or poor me I had a bad year.STR8UP said:
If I had to guess, I'd say the potato (male or female) is either from Cali or Asheville, NC. Asheville is a bizzarre, dreamlike, rainbows and LSD sort of city where this stuff sometimes happens.
Hoo boy, if you are at all honest, you have to admit that's not true. Who says that he experiences females the way you do? No, not some guy in a movie or an AXE body spray commercial. What real guy says that he has experiences like yours? You can say that "everybody else is weird, and I'm the only normal one" until you're blue in the face, but you are the one who is not normal.potato said:
PS: I did find a male romance novelist on the net. He writes nothing like potato. Only females write like that.
"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.

I am sure there are a few others here who would disagree on the real reason why those threads are closed.STR8UP said:

what people are looking for is someone who can STEP UP. most girls turn to mud in my presence. they have no idea what to do with me. they want me but i am but a dream.
once a person has STEPPED UP, or shown that they can STEP UP then it becomes about the lifestyle and do you two mesh/ click. do you have fun together. are you equals or does one clearly OUTSHINE the other? you want what you yourself have. and you go on looking.potato said:
must be easier for potato though; lacking s.o.h he's not the full package

Ha ha ha ! Hey Choclo - you better translate that for the septics, digger. They would have Buckleys at grasping why you are on about.ElChoclo said:

Isn't potato just mocking us at this point?
Kind of surprised that there is still even a debate about whether or not this real.
No matter how much romance your pen can spew forth, nobody will ever be able to take it seriously if it comes from a man named "potato"
Remember the wise Simpsons: "A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet...unless it was called a stinkweed"
You, potato, are the stinkweed of romance novels.
I could honestly screenplay the hell out of a dude named Potato who meets three separate rock collecting girls, two of whom are named Susan. My god. Judd Apatow couldn't write this!
