"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Solidus_77 replied to Da_Latios's topic in Off-Topic
You do realise those are song lyrics, from the song sweet child o' mine by Guns N' Roses. I think he was joking by the way, not that it was very funny. Well judging by the insecure behavior of AFCs, you never know. What are you hoping to achieve here? It sounds to me like even if you summon up all the courage to ask her out, you're probably going to screw yourself over because you're too obsessed with this one girl. I've been down that road many times and it NEVER AND I REPEAT NEVER WORKS. If you find this ONE special girl and think about her all the time and suddenly get all nervous in front of her then it's never going to work. You will fail without even trying. The only way I was able to get over this problem was when a friend of mine convinced me that "there's plenty of fish in the sea" and that the specific attractive qualities of the ONE girl could be found in a million different girls. Once you know that, suddenly the ONE girl isn't so special anymore. This worked on me, I'm dead serious, you can actually find the same kinds of qualities if you look at another girl. And on top of all that she has a boyfriend, now that just takes the cake. -
I've broken my wrist 4 times (dont ask) Jesus Christ! Get a girlfriend mate for crying out loud! You win :XD: :lol:

Yeah well I could do with out all these people who misunderstood the question :|

- Apathetic people who wait for you to finish a story before saying "I couldn't care less" - Any hyperbolic accusation directed towards me that starts with "You always ...." or "You never..... " - Any accusation based off of assumptions - People who constantly have something to whine or complain about or who act like the whole universe is against them (nothing wrong with them, I just can't stand being around people like that) - Ignorants who use economic arguments without knowing cabbage about economics - Tedious assignments Here's a situational one: - When you are on a debate and you just spend a lot of effort proving the thread author wrong then some random guy comes in and says "Lol, yeah I agree with the thread author" so now you're back to square 1 -.- And the worst one: - Smart-[wagon] who (purposefully) misinterpret any form of figurative speaking and who miss the point.

As well as probably most of the people who bought the orange box. I like that marketing scheme because it involves "free" stuff.

That makes two of us :-$

That's fine as long as 1 game of cw doesn't suddenly become 2 games which then magically becomes 3 games and you know the rest :wink: . Keep in mind I would highly recommend real breaks, like a breath of fresh air because sitting at the same computer for ages will make anyone a little wound up. -
Care to elaborate on that? Sounds funny : It's a metaphor, smart one.

Arguing that a floating currency is backed up by oil? There have got to be some flaws Now this is just ridiculous. He's saying that the US economy was limited by the gold reserve when dollars were backed up by gold? It most certainly wasn't. The value of the dollar changed and when people came to the "gold windows" to redeem their dollars for gold they were bet with a nasty surprise. The gold standard was eliminated because it just didn't work and the dollar has been a floating currency ever since. No, it doesn't "just keep printing money", the money supply of the US is monitored by the central bank. And no, the Euro is NOT backed up by gold So what? The fact that they own gold is irrelevant. The Euro can buy gold, sure, but the Euro is not backed up by gold. It is a floating currency monitored by the European Central bank (In Munich I think, not sure). If the Euro was fixed, then everyone's cash would be redeemable for a certain amount of gold and the value of the euro would NEVER change (neither of these two things are true). 1. For some real uses, it's a metal that doesn't oxidize so it's perfect if something may rust over time (like fake teeth). The downside being that gold is soft and pretty rare so using it for big moving parts is out of the question. 2. Conspicuous consumption. You buy it to show off. YES, showing off is considered a "use" as it is a determinant of demand. Hence the demand for jewelry. Jewelry has no "functional" use, correct? It's used to show off, and that's conspicuous consumption. 3. Decoration. Self-explanatory, but also a form of conspicuous consumption. So what's so good about a shiny rock? Well I have it and you don't. Also, keep in mind that value is a matter of opinion. I.E. I may having a huge value attached to a certain object (like a token that represents a gift and reminds me of a special person) but in your opinion the object is not really all that valuable. The value is determined by supply and demand. So even if there isn't much of a demand, we all know that the supply of gold is limited.

So we're choosing between a having intellect and having a love life? Love obviously and I'm surprised how many people would rather just have a brain.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Solidus_77 replied to Da_Latios's topic in Off-Topic
This has to be dealt with point by point in order to explain, ready? That attitude is a problem. You have to shift gears from the unattractive feelings if you want to have a change with women. If so then I would recommend you talk to them for advice as I am sure at least one of them is a real "natural" at pickups. Want to find girls? Go to libraries, shopping malls, coffee shops. Anywhere. It's actually a great way to get practice by talking to random people. I have mastered the eye contact thing lately by just practicing on totally random strangers that I will probably never see again. Clubs/bars are also a great place because the girls who go there are going for a reason but it's a very different atmosphere. I'm no expert in that matter so the best I can say is just "try harder". I'm sorry to hear that, but again i have no experience there. I'm sure you've seen this: An absolutely gorgeous girl with her an unapplealing guy next to him. When I see this I use to wonder "what could she possibly see in this guy?" Now I know the answer: The qualities of a confident man. A mistake that you, me and several other people who replied here before is that we are completely mistaken about what a woman cares about. Do women care about looks? Yes, do they care as much about looks as a guy cares about a girl's looks? Not even close. What a women cares about is personality and NOT looks. This means that the reason behind your lack of success is not your bad looks, it's your personality. If you could show to women that you are someone who is confident, or a sensitive jerk or simply put: a REAL man, then they would be all over you. So how important are looks? Well they can make a difference but they are certainly not decisive. The important thing about looks is that if you feel that you look good then your confidence is boosted. Bold, underline and italics and I STILL think that it's not enough to emphasize this. THAT is the problem. If you lack confidence, you don't impress women, which diminishes your self-esteem which leads to a vicious cycle until you understand what the problem is. Once you understand the problem, I guarantee you that it can be solved. What they are doing is a very in-your-face approach however I totally agree with them. Here's what they mean: What they mean is stop acting insecure and act like a real man who is not afraid to show his intentions. What they mean here is stop trying by lamenting about your mistakes you are not acting confident and you need to stop lamenting about your mistakes and instead learn from your mistakes in order to be a real man. Furthermore look at Goddess's reply: She has no idea what you look like yet she is totally not attracted. She is demonstrating that what women care about is attitude and the attitude you presented us in your post is unattractive. Ok I'm going to use this last part to make a point. Do you feel this way when you are around women? I use to do so all the time. I was constantly worrying "am i bothering her?" "she probably won't care about me" blablabla and I know now that I came across as an insecure little wimp who supplicates to girls. It wasn't till i went to bars when I started acting a lot different (hence why i think bars are an ideal place to meet women). I stopped worrying about what girls would think of me and I just talked. I still have miles to go (Like I'm afraid to go further, once again on the whole "is this really the right thing to do?" attitude). Now, I have a few questions, some of which are rhetoric and you might spot the point I'm trying to make: If you were to go up to a girl do you first stop and imagine all the horrific scenarios where she reject you? Do you constantly worry about if you're "in her league"? Have you considered buying a girl a drink or something in order to talk to her? Have you ever focused on trying to get with ONE girl? Are you afraid to touch a girl after talking to her? -
Do all moderators play for the sake of accommodating you? Does anyone play for the sake of accommodating you? They do what they should be doing and that is placing themselves before you.

You have to find the right ballance between studing and keeping cool. I've seen a lot of people study like hell, stress out, freak out, worry so much to the point that they struggle so much on their exam. When those people realize that their excessive studying is actually causing their demise, they relax, try to keep cool and end up not worrying so much. This leads to less reviewing and then they don't know enough about the exam to do well. What you want is find the right balance between studying (being prepared) and keeping cool (not being stressed). Generally I find that if you followed along in class and know THE MOST EFFICIENT way to review, you'll do great. I say "the most efficient" because there are times when I have reviewed something to hell and then failed simply because I didn't know how to approach the question and all those hours spent reviewing were wasted. For example, reviewing math by merely going over formulas is hardly going to get you prepared for an exam. For math you need to do practice problems so that you can figure out how to approach different kinds of problems. Different subjects have different approaches. Chemistry highly relies on you understanding how the process works (like math) so if you can say "I get it! so that's how X is supposed to react" then that's good. Biology on the other hand is way more focused on memorization so just get a bunch of flash cards and drill those annoying scientific terms into your head. Physics is likely to be all about unites and calculations so it's similar to math but with a few extra twists. Any form of social studies or literature is bound to involve essays and frankly I'm not too good at those so I have no advice (except for economics, which is all about structure and using key words as well as diagrams to follow through a problem in a systematic way). Also, while reviewing it's important to take breaks. That's the best strategy.

Getting to bed earlier would be the ideal, but if you can't do that (like me) then you just need to force yourself awake even if you need multiple alarm clocks (I use two because one just simply isn't enough to wake me up).

Since we have guys wearing skirts and girls wearing a torso with a six-pack I'm going to conclude that, for fighting, stats are more important than looks.

Just admire as they fail at their desperate attempt to pick up due to their complete inability to do so IRL. It's pathetic, it's sad and that is the true definition of a no-lifer.

Yeah, I missed a month and a half of soccer breaking my toe doing that. It was late and night and I was spending the night at my friends house. It was like 2 A.M and I wasn't at home, so I slept horrible, I would keep bumping my toe. Yeah, the night after is the worst. You won't fall asleep unless you literally lose consciousness and you've got this pain that you can't take care of the entire time.

Do you think i decided to be bisexual? No I didn't... What I suspect (s)he means is that bisexuals have the choice between males or females. Although it's not exactly as easy as "Which do I feel like today?", and also a lot of bisexuals have a tendency to prefer one sex over the other. Correct, and btw I'm a he

Last summer I went down to the alpes to spend some time rock climbing. After one day of fun, and at 1 am, an ear infection (which I had been trying to suppress) blew up in my ear like someone had forcefully stuck a bunch of needles in it The next day I literally could not hear out of that ear and this went on for a week. Then I had a week with no problems and then guess what? It started up again! It didn't fully go away until two weeks. A runner up would be when I broke my foot BY MISSING ONE STEP ON A STAIRCASE. Not quite a fitting to a person who does high-risk activities. Oh and to make matters even worse this was the DAY BEFORE my birthday.

Why not? We are born liking a certain kind of person with a certain kind of personality so why can we not be born liking a certain kind of gender. Find some sort of logical argument or reliable source. I'm not specifically referring to body ratio. Guys will go after girls for many reasons such as personality, ethnicity. We have no control over who we like and that's clearly seen, for example some guys will go for shy girls while others despise shy girls and want more outgoing ones. When qualities are on opposite ends of the spectrum there simply cannot be a one-size-fits all definition of what beauty is. I'm also waiting for you to show where you got the disillusion that beauty is defined as having a body ratio between X and Y :roll: Where the hell did you dig up that insane idea? I'm willing to believe that beauty is in not in the eye of the beholder to the extent that a lot of opinions on beauty converge but claiming it's all based on fertility is just ridiculous. Oh also, there are obviously people who can choose to be attracted to either people of the same sex or not, we call them bisexual.
