BobismyRhino, what if I'm already doing all of that? What then?

Sidenote: My personallity naturally tends toward domination, but my extreme degree of emotional control means that I can literally turn on or off a "tender side." Part of my mantra is, "Master thyself, then master the world." As a close friend put it, "You have a heart. It just happens to be under close observation in a jar. You watch it, know what it is doing, and even play with it every once in a while. It just doesn't ever determine your actions."

I don't really mind shopping for clothes, as long as it's not for me

Then you do the possibly hardest thing known to man: you wait.

There's always someone that's going to find you cute, attractive, relationship-worthy, whatever. It's just up to you to run into that person. Looking for the person is futile. Just let it happen. You'll eventually run into your little ray of sunshine. Just focus on other things instead.

People have "desperation dectectors," I've decided. When you're single, all alone, and just want someone to love you, you emit these "please love me now" vibes, and those tend to turn everyone away. Because, clearly, if you're desperate for affection, something's wrong with you. :cc

A good way to tone down those icky vibes is to just focus on improving your life. Do what makes you happy! Keep yourself preoccupied with activities, hang out with friends, try new things, etc.

If you can succeed at not being desperate while single and you're confident in yourself, you'll meet someone one day. And boy, you'll be happy that you waited.
...
Or not...

But that's the fun of dating. You get to meet people and try to find the ~~perfect~~ damn near perfect match for you so that you both can be happy with each other's company and have petty fights over toothpaste brands etc.

Stop readin mai mind! Being pursued is kinda fun. At least when it isn't stalkers (yes, I've had two so far).

If a girl repeatedly stares at you, tries (poorly) to make fun of you, and always sits next to you in the Comp Lab it means she's into you, but too shy to try anything very forward, right? Had a random middle eastern girl do that to me last semester. Pretty good body too.

Like just standing there waiting for someone to try on clothes? That is death personified right there.

It is indeed the hardest thing known to man, I can't speak for women. But one of the most rewarding to learn. My mind and my will set in motions my actions, not the desperation of testerone driven ape *wry smiles* . Mastery of this does not necessitate sucess with the ladies though, the one's I'm into find that too intimidating. And I will not manipulate anyone for my personal benefit.

So I'm probably in for a long wait *sighs*.

Tis a good way to live. Emotion? Hormones? Nothing before the might of my Will.

Wow this is hilarious...

For all the people that can plan scheme and react in between rolls of the dice...

Confidence equals Heroism..its not whether you succeed or not, its that you care enuf to try.

That awful pause in the conversation is OMG i have no clue what to say..I'm afraid of looking stupid.., He looks really bored by me...

its like the DM saying --the pit is 10x10, yess poisoned spikes...you do a knowledge check

hmmm...She likes Wallee,,, You comment ---why have you seen Wallee yet ?..I'd rather see it first, without my nephew, do you have anyone to go with you...you can buy the tickets I'll buy the goodies.

very sorry that I'm not Forum savvy, to add the proper quotes into these ramblings.

About hot girl with benefits---the Best bait, that the fisherman has is the fish in his net.
Or the Fighter is good because he practices his swordplay...

fear is due to the unknown, being confident in Bed will give you that arrogant aura.." I do know how to make you very happy."

Game translation --Its better to have Bards as friends

this might be a little off topic by now but...
the always clever Sixth formulated a system that will help me make casual conversation with a female.
It works something like this:
I start at level one. At level one I have limited class abilities. they include, current events, movies, and music.
I earn xp by holding conversations with the female. I attain lvl 2 after the first conversation.
At lvl 2 I am allowed to mention star wars (yay)
At lvl 4 I can talk about Lord of the Rings
etc.

It is brilliant and since it is a system I am familiar with it should work.
I figured I'd put it up for PEACHing.

altpersona · « **Reply #112 on:** July 09, 2008, 05:05:47 PM »

maybe, double the level requirements.

or more clearly define them.

1 five minute chat shouldn't get you to level two.

maybe, you get level two after you both know each others last name and such

Ubernoob · « **Reply #113 on:** July 09, 2008, 07:50:32 PM »

There are a couple requirements before you admit to true nerdity:
1) Know her last name. This should happen about a week after 3rd base. After your friends make fun of you for not knowing it.
2) Have her writing poetry about you. Drawing and similar work as well.

Women like me because I'm Bad Ass (TM), not a nerd. Nerd only is allowed to show once I've got the prey hooked.

Sunic_Flames · « **Reply #114 on:** July 09, 2008, 08:17:46 PM »

But what if you power level on a high level woman? Then can you hustle it to level 2?

Don't you realize that admlwwlng to nerdity imposes an XP penalty? That's why you do it *after* you hit the level cap.

Can one be bad ass while semi-openly admitting to normally nerdy activities?

Depends on the Nerd Factor of said activity:
Avid Reader: Good. Just makes you seem smart.
Watched every episode of DeathNote: Depends on the girl. DeathNote is about the safest of what I watch. Naruto is Hell No. Bleach is maybe.
Likes comic book movies: good.
D&D: Hell no. Too many stereotypes.
Star Wars & LotR: Nothing more than watched.

Isn't that Vin Diesel guy into D&D? Bad ass nerds for the win.

Not that I've ever heard of. D&D has too much of a stigma to help get laid if you aren't around gamer chicks already.
