I'm assuming you're joking with the content of this thread at the expense of the uncomfortably large amount of gender bashing that seems to be going on in some threads lately. Regardless, I doubt this is going to encourage anything but trolling and flaming, so I'm locking it.

Was this in reply to me, Eve? :) If so, I guess I am kinda awkward! :P I'm very quiet at parties and things, funnily enough I find it easier to talk comfortably in more formal locations (such as meetings, etc.) I also find verbal flirting practically impossible in person. It's not that I can't...

I didn't even realise until recently, but I look for a girl that thinks like I do. Had a discussion with a lady a while back. She's very smart and independant, has informed and fair views on lots of things. She was really engaging with me when I briefly detailed my views on politics (a topic I...

I agree with Barbaloot here. To be honest, getting bitter isn't a productive way to acquire a girlfriend - to suggest otherwise is folly. I don't have the solution, but I just think getting out and chatting to more girls is a good start. Go to places where people like you congregate, both male...

Very interesting point theraab. I don't know if it's fair to define such guys as "dumb" - I'd say it's less analytical is a more even term. People who are prone to mentally dissecting things less (regardless of their intelligence) seem to find relationships easier. Much like LonelyinAtl I work...

Really nice! Want to get into Judo myself, unfortunately I'm going to need to get my eyesight fixed (or get contacts) first. It looks like great fun, practical self-defence too. Dropped another stone and a bit since my OP. Actually a little worried, because I don't want to lose any more weight...

Thanks Barba :) Yeah, sorry if it seems ranty or like I'm stereotyping. I understand that you can't generalise people and I hope I don't come across like that. I'm just kind of confused (and frustrated) as to why it's so hard for me to find a decent girl that appreciates me, since it's not...

Heh, funny this thread of mine is back. The girl that was flirting with me here is also the one who recently treated me really poorly at work in my thread in the "Loneliness" section. I guess I'm happy now that I never went out with her. Stupid thing is that a silly part of me still likes her...

How sad :( Rest in peace John.

Really agree with this Sci-Fi. Sometimes, as is the case with this project, you just have to trust someone. I couldn't actually approach the task on my own, so I placed my confidence in someone who I've known for years. And the predictable happened. What really gets me is that she didn't have...

In my whole span on this planet, I don't think I've accumulated a single friend who hasn't stuck the knife into me for absolutely no reason (other than some sort of petty selfish gain). This was exemplified neatly today when a work friend (and incidentally a girl who apparently "likes" me)...

Looking rather badass there, Sir ;)

Lots of *hugs* to you Tina, sorry to hear that you haven't been well. Especially in those cirumstances, it must have been frightening, last time I went for an MRI it was a really tense, horrible moment. I hope you make a speedy and thorough recovery :)

This. All this "Alpha male" stuff is bollocks, to be frank. Compromising for the sake of your partner's happiness occasionally makes you a decent considerate person, not a "Beta male". Unless of course your definition of "Alpha male" is "pigheaded individual who can't be bothered to ever...

Not at all. In fact, since I'm inexperienced myself I'd far rather a woman was as shy as I am about that stuff than hasty with wanting to get so close. I guess I'd deal with it by just telling her there's no rush to do anything like that. If anything, I'd be happy to just forego that stuff for...

I don't. As a UK citizen, however, carrying a knife anywhere is illegal. Hence my view on that. If carrying the knife was legal, then of course he's not subject to that law. Either way, as I said, I see nothing wrong with his actual self defence.

CGI/animation or not, I felt the image was completely inappropriate (not to mention unpleasant) and have removed it from the OP. As for the story, I wouldn't carry a knife (you're screwed if it's turned against you, not even considering the illegal factor), but if some idiot tried to hit me for...

You know, when I was bullied I went to the authority at the school. Laughably, they told me to go to the bullies themselves and talk to them (didn't go well!) Then I went to my parents for help. When that didn't stop it, I got so fed up that I started hitting them. And straight away, that was...

Sadly, I think appearance plays a surprisingly big part in how people interact with you. Not even neccessarily "good looks" either. Stuff like the way you carry yourself, how you dress, etc. seems to make quite a difference. Back when I was overweight, girls would usually sort of treat me...

Firstly, just because worse things happen in the world, it doesn't mean you're not entitled to personal feelings regarding what's going on in your life. Life is a spectrum. It's not just "major problems" and "worthless problems", there's a whole gamut in between that human emotions range...
