Why am I being discussed?

[Mr. Goods]

I have stumbled upon a somewhat-disturbing trend that has been going on: I have become a topic of conversation with people. Not just a brief reference...an actual conversation. These examples are from the past couple of months:

1.) This week, one of my good friends was on a first date with a girl I have met twice. Apparently, I was a topic of discussion during this date. I know this because the girl brought up what they talked about (nothing much, just that I'm single and have standards with dating). My friend then confirmed this discussion taking place.

2.) Two people I barely know on Facebook but am "friends" with (we shared a class together a couple years ago) are discussing my job prospects via wall posts. One of my friends had mentioned to one of them that I may be landing a job at a major company, but why are the two people I don't know well talking about me?

3.) A guy I get along with met a girl who lived in my apartment building at college. At the time, I didn't know the guy all that much - hung out with him once - and I hadn't run into the girl in awhile. Somehow, I came up in the conversation. The guy tells me they had "a whole discussion" about me.

4.) A friend of mine who I haven't seen in a few months but keep in touch with online tells me a girl randomly IM'ed him asking about me. The troubling part: This guy and I don't hang out a lot (at least not recently), and I have never seen or met the girl before in my life. Basically, there is no way she'd know that I know the guy.

Any thoughts? I realize this doesn't exactly deal with trying to get girls, but maybe it has something to do with my personality or how I present myself. I'm not wild by any means and I'm not a goof. However, I am confused. :crazy:

Why do you believe your gossipworthyness is "disturbing" . I would have been thrilled in your position. Folks do not talk about boring chumps, they talk about fascinating people. That means YOU apparently.
And know this - women do NOT discuss unattractive, dull men for more than one dismissive sentence.

Someone said long ago," I don't care what they say about me as long as they get my name right ."

It seems that you really are "The Goods".

Would you rather people not talk about you?

Not all publicity if good publicity, but any publicity is better than none.

For the life of me I can't understand the point of OP's post. Do you need validation OP? You're on everyone's mind. I discussed you with my mom the other day.

Haha, yeah that Mr Goods guy?....me and mates were discussing him today for a good hour.

Seriously, man, losers are not worth talking about. If people are talking about you like that, it's all good and you must be doing something right.

If any of its negative, then f*ck em!

That's true. I guess my wording was off in the OP. I just found the whole thing interesting and had no idea what it meant. The reason I posted it was because maybe I was unintentionally goofy and women would find that laughable, and not in a good way. This will sound weird, but I do not know how people - especially girls - view the way I present myself. I am always looking to improve and would have no idea if I was doing something fundamentally wrong.

Haha, that would be nice. All I need is for my recent luck with the ladies to improve a bit.

Thanks for the responses. Most likely a knee-jerk reaction on my part. I'm not used to having people come up to me and outright saying, "We had an entire chat about you yesterday." Just something unusual, that's all.

congratulations you're no longer meaningless!

Me and my two German Shepherds talked about you over beers n Milkbones the other night. It was all good.

Apparently you want to be a topic of conversation on this forum too.

I went to my Parish and talked with my Reverend about Mr. Goods for a solid half hour.

Read the Book of Pook. You're value has skyrocketed so much that it is being broadcasted around the women's network. All the women in your general extended social circle now know you're a catch. They're trying to find out just how big of a catch you are and how available you are and if it's all true.

Don't **** this up by displaying low value to anyone, including dudes. Constant improvement, my friend!
