Dating/Pickup Guides

It's not as though I see some big, strapping lad pulling a wooly mammoth carcass back to the cave and suddenly my loins moisten. Please.

EXCUSE me?

I'll have you know it was exceedingly difficult just to FIND a mammoth nowadays (they've been dying off due to global warming), not to even start on what it took to bring that ******* down. And to drag it back here, even with the aid of my dad's pickup truck, has been an excruciating chore.

Your callous, unappreciative attitude toward my effort is insulting. Aside from being delicious, the skin would have made excellent and fashionable clothing (not even the rich ******* of Hollywood have access to mammoth fur), and the tusks would have rendered countless bits of jewelry and other pretty baubles to tickle your womanly fancy. And I'd have had an awesome new club from the ******'s leg bone. But no, you don't care. If this didn't moisten your loins then I don't know what else to try. You're heartless and cruel and you just want some ******* who's going to treat you bad because he's exciting. See how many extinct animals HE'LL bring you. Have fun clinging to his back on his Harley Fatboy when you realize it's nowhere NEAR as cool as a dead, pre-historic beast carcass in the backyard.

I am taking my mammoth carcass elsewhere. It's over between us. I just can't take this emotional abuse anymore.

Oh, stop. I never said I didn't appreciate your efforts. I mean, the mere fact that you tracked down an extinct animal is pretty impressive. I can't imagine how hard it was to load that bad boy onto a standard pickup truck, either. I'm just saying it takes more to press my buttons than just having a hunk of meat and some mammoth-bone baubles lobbed my way. However, I will admit, a mammoth-skin rug would look pretty awesome by the fire.

I don't really think that that makes me high maintenance.

If I wasn't already married and likely a lot older than you, I'd find you and date you. lol

My respect for you grows every single time I read one of your posts.

KUDOS!!

I wish I could rep you again.

Thanks Eve

I have a cunning plan - I'm going to travel back in time, and date you when you were single and the same age as me! Watch out, I'm coming to get you in your past!

i wouldn't use those systems. that's faking it. for me, meeting and dating women is easy. not that i'm a great looking guy, or that i'm "cool" or popular or anything like that, it's just that i know how to play my cards.

the best advice i can give you, and i guarantee you'll read about it in any of those books, is to be yourself and be confident. all that stuff you read about in the books and see in movies and tv is hollywood make-believe.

also, i don't go on here and whine because i can't get "la...a relationship", i'm just here to connect with fellow introverts, lone wolfs, and tragedy survivors like myself.

best of luck!

I will do the Cyrano de Bergerac romantic method. Out of fear of rejection i will tell the lady i love that i have always loved her, one hour before i die.

I disagree with the confidence thing. For a start, many men are not confident and it is very hard to change that. Secondly, i disagree that men have to go to enormous lengths to get a girl. If someone apperently doesn't like me, than i don't like her.

So let me spell out my dilemma. The problem I have with just being happy and having fun is I miss all the signals that a female is interested in me. To the point that I come off as not being interested. So in most cases, back in college, I would know the girl long enough to see Ger get banged by another guy. I do not want that.

So I guess my dilemma comes from social conditioning where the man is supposed to do all the initial obvious seducing. Make no mistake as much as I want to enjoy my time around females I want to have *** with them as well. In my current state, unless the female is the aggressive one I miss out and get thrown into the friend void never to return. I can cite several cases where I have missed out. Why, not because of lack of interest on my end. Because, I missed what most would consider very obvious signs.

Then there is the problem of having no idea how to start casual conversations with females.

We have a lot in common man. I also miss signs of interest. The only real way I would know if a woman was interested would be if she told me directly. I don't understand flirting or signs or signals at all. I also can't talk to a woman unless I have a reason to. I can't just randomly talk to one.

I wish I could help you out, but at least you know you're not the only one.

A woman know when a man likes her, but you have to take an effort to get her love and even than she might not like you. And, if a woman really likes she, she might take the initiative herself. The best thing you can do is talk with women, but i know that is hard for shy guys like us.

A woman know when a man likes her...

Not necessarily. Women can be every bit as clueless at men at deciphering whether or not someone is interested in her.

And, if a woman really likes she, she might take the initiative herself.

This is true.

The best thing you can do is talk with women, but i know that is hard for shy guys like us.

Again, I agree with this.

Never thought about it that way. I guess all my disapointments in love have made me bitter, though i am far less bitter than i used to be. I do know that initial flirting doesn't say very much, it can always go wrong afterwards. That's what made me very passive after a while.
