Hi, I'm been wanting to watch this question for a long time. You see, I don't watch "normal" TV shows unlike almost everybody else. Like when I go to people's house and we watch TV, I usually want to watch Discovery Channel, CNN, History Chanel and Comedy Network. People around here just watch MTV and all that kind of "popular" stuff, but I watch shows like MASH, Seinfeld and Frasier. I like cartoons such as Family, South Park and Futurama as well. Because of my taste in television sometimes I feel like I'm kinda left out, because everybody would be talking about programs they watch which I know nothing about. The stuff they watch simply doesn't interest me as much, and I can't really force myself to watch these shows to fit in. So what do you watch on T.V, does it help you relate to other people or are you also like me?
"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.
What do you watch on T.V?

"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 think I'm pretty much the same as you.
My interests within television programs are very different from my friends' interests. The same goes for things I do on the internet.
But I try to not care.

Be interested in what you want, but try to broaden your horizons as much as possible, (ie i used to hate country music but then a friend who loves it showed me some songs and now i enjoy the music so i can enjoy it with him) just remember to stick to your identity and all is good.

Actually I thought everyone watched all those shows you mentioned...Here, everyone has their TV screens on comedy central, FX, or Spike Tv or the History Channel..
I do all my TV viewing on Youtube.com nowadays...I can watch whatever the f*ck I want to watch at anytime.
I only watch football on tv regulary and rarely documentaries and political talk shows.
TV sucks. Too bad I realised that only recently after years and years if time wasted watching sh!t on TV.
Imagine what you can do in the hours you spend in front of the screen.
1 hour gym
1 hour reading
1 hour homeworks
1 hour for your hobbys
etc etc
Your life would be a lot better if you managed the time you watched TV in a better way.
Fück TV!!!!!

"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.

same here. I don't see the point of it unless it's an occasional sports game.Taviii said:
Real life is much more interesting...I honestly don't have time for TV anyway. And then when I do watch on occasion, afterwards I feel like a lazy-ass couch potato. So figures why I don't watch much.

Any original series/movie on HBO rocks my world...plus comedies like Seinfeld, Simpsons, Family Guy and the History Channel, and whatever metal thing VH1 has on

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

The only time I watch TV: Sopranos, Wrestling (occasionally), NFL or if i'm watching a DVD with my S/O. I find it to be a complete waste of time besides that, I agree that it is the idiot box.

Television rots your brain, except for sports. Some of the "educational" stuff is ok, but most of it is too slow and dumbed-down.

I don't watch TV. Even when I do, it's usually a DVD. I have seasons of TV shows, so why the hell would I want to pay a huge chunk of money for cable to watch a bunch of re-runs?
The only time I usually watch a DVD is when I'm eating a meal. Other than that, the TV is never on. I'm too busy doing something constructive like yard work, indulging in my hobbies, etc.

No they just spend more time on Sosuave and posting useless stuff and wasting their time. TV is good in moderation I watch history, discovery, news and sports. I hate watching series like 24 on TV cuz of the damn commericals so I just wait till the whole season comes out on DVD. :rockon:Mr. Unique said:

I watch TV on fridays, when there's some anime showing. The rest of the week, I don't watch TV, or I watch comedy performances to fine-tune my sense of humor.

Haha, dump your TV and get a faster Internet connection! You'll never go back!
On occasions I watch "One Tree Hill" or "The O.C." or sometimes that one reality show "The Amazing Race." Other than that.. not really a whole lot of TV here.
