Why are we so fake?

[tobby]

I'm not here to rant about how bad girls are or how this site's a piece of sh*t or stuff like that, but I do have some questions.

Why is that approaching, PU, ... so fake? I do get girls too, so I'm not here complaining. (I know that'll be coming from some AFC or KBJ!) It's almost like guys have to "act" around women. We can't talk about the things we do we with our male friends or act like we normally do because "it's a girl". Then there's all the sh*t with buying gifts (for LTR's only) and paying for dates, (which I accept, but I don't put out my cash when I hang out with my male friends). Is it just me? I just can't stand the fact that I'm always having to "change" myself for a girl.

You just answered your own question.

Do you treat your boss the same way you treat your pals?
Do you treat your mom the same way you treat your pals?
Do you treat your pet the same way you treat your mom?
Do you treat a police officer the same way you treat your cat?
Do you treat a catholic priest the same way you treat a buddhist monk?
Do you treat a kid the same way you treat a police officer?

I could go on and on. Welcome to the grown up world. It looks like if you haven't socialized a lot with women through your life. Don't worry, you'll get a hold of it, and will love it. I now have problems relating, having friends, with men, I like women company much, much more. And I was a AFC/NiceGuy.

Trust us. Trust the bible.

If my "act" is called 'not giving a sh*t about what women think of me' then I guess I'm a pretty good actor.

Trust us.

Took out the "Trust the Bible" part. Apart from that. Very well said pendo. Answered the question.

Plus like i said in \O/ thread. How can you be acting..? Its you. You are you. If you act diffrent. Thats just you acting diffrent. You are still you.

Anyways

In the words of William Shakespeare "Life is a play. The world is a stage and we are merely actors playing our part"

I was once told by someone i highly respect. "Life is a play. The world is a stage and we are merely actors playing our part"

You knew Shakespeare? You must be, like, old dude.

Thats the key right there. Many of us are taught to "act" a certain way around women when we are young by parents,friends etc. We are taught to not tease,not touch and not to be ****y. But if would act like we want(not giving a siht) then we are more succesful and we have fun while doing it. Now tell me which one is the act?

I will second SamePendo on his response.

What you are refferring to is diplomacy, something I learned a great deal about from in this post...
