Summer in australia, winter when I go to the states. I hate winter but I love skiing and snowboarding, and it seems every building in the states is heated enough in winter to walk around in shorts. Winter in Australia is like, freezing but not so freezing that anybody does anything about it. No heating, pathetic winter clothes etc. I'm always warmer in winter in the US, even though it's colder.

Did you read my post about 1 night stands before the rollback? It had a few useful things relevant to your interests.

I'm attracted by the same things that every other guy is: Physical traits of reproductive value and health. When it comes to an actual relationship, I guess I would want someone intelligent. My last girlfriend was a moron and she frustrated me so much I had to break up with her. Not before I stopped caring and cheated on her. Apart from that, someone who matches my lifestyle. Adventurous, sporty, ambitious, party girl etc.

I've been without internet so I have to catch up with a fair bit, but these caught my eye. Firstly he's your mate, don't dog him over a girl. I'd tell her to break up with him if she really wanted to, but I wouldn't date her after at least for a while. I'd then tell him what she told me. Secondly, it sounds like she goes through boyfriends faster than tissues. Doesn't really sound like good girlfriend material anyway. +1 on thumb wars. They escalate touching, and they work great as a transition. When I open I sometimes ask where she is from, then be like "omgnowai! I've beaten every champion from every city except that one, this can be for the title." Then I win by cheating and lay on my chauvinistic male jokes. The best way to transition I've found. :thumbup: I am smart enough to delete any private ones. lol. I checked after she gave it back, much to my relief I had texts from "kyle" about random crap. And the occasional one saying park @ 7 or w/e. But, I IMed her, inviting her to the park (turns out she wasn't going). But it's with pretty much everyone in our year, so she doesn't know where it is, so I'm walking her there xD (I'm such a gent). So, tommorrow we shall see what will happen xD You shouldn't find 'private' txts embarrassing. It's really just about the power thing mentioned.

When talking, look them straight in the eyes all the time. When talking to a group, do the same thing but switch between people. Running good game, it all depends on the situation. Roughly, be a little standoffish when opening (that's if you approach random people) and rocking back on your feet like you're about to leave, slowly change that into standing 'neutral' when past the hook point (when you are having regular conversation) If it's a girl you already know, or a friend of a friend you can start in attraction. That's when you kinda lean back, have confident but casual body language. I mentioned push pull, do this with your body language too. Mildly mimicking their body language can help building comfort. I suggest reading The Definitive Book Of Body Language by Allan and Barbara Pease. Probably the best book out there on the subject. When you go through the stages, change your body language to suit it. When she's qualified herself and you've shown you're interested you don't want to be standoffish etc. Lean in for a minute and lean back for push pull etc. Then again calibration is important too. For example better looking guys should not DHV as much as others, and it all depends on her reactions. If you want to can do compliance tests, when standing in a group step back and see if they follow. Something I think I read from Strauss is asking them to put their hands out palms down, put your hands under facing up. Squeeze, let go and lower your hands. If she does the same, huge IOI. If she asks why, I just be honest (sort of) and say it's a trust test I read about, and that she feels comfortable around me/need more time to know each other.

Why? When it happens to you, you'll know why. I'd ditch 50 girls before I'd dog a friend. I'd say you can date a friend's ex under certain conditions. 1) your friend dumped them, not the other way around 2) you wait ATLEAST 1 day for every month that they went out, with a 10 day minimum 3) you have to tell your friend you're interested in the ex before making a move 4) you have to have your friend's 'okay' before you proceed to date I can agree with that, though I'd wait longer.

The thing about pills is they don't cure anything. I could take a pill and it could cover up the anxiety, but along with the side effects, the anxiety just keeps building up. Sometimes things like depression and anxiety will build up enough inside to escape and be so intense pills won't help and I'm worse than where I started. The potassium really seems to be working though, I think it might have solved it. I used to get like 2 attacks a day, but I've had none in about a week. A GP would have just laughed at me if I asked for a potassium prescription for anxiety, I get them through a relative. I'm so glad that they probably solved it, anxiety attacks suck :thumbdown:

I just remembered something, on the topic of wearing clothing to stand out a few pages back. My stand was, have a specific style and stand out. A couple people's responses were, that's douche baggery. Girls do the exact same thing. They show cleavage, wear glittery crap, and we respond to it. You can bet your boring t shirts that there is a plain looking girl in sweatpants and a huge shirt looking at the same girl you're ogling and thinking: "wow what a show off" (Of course there could be guys here with high horse syndrome or that are used to settling that will insist they would prefer the plain looking girl because the other one must be a [bleep] :roll: )

Where in australia? If you leave near me we can go out, and I'll MAKE you talk to people :lol: edit: nvm, 800km away :| Just go out with a friend to a club, (I could help with your style if you want) and follow the 3 second rule. Make small goals, first being able to open a set and talk for 5 minutes, then work your way up to attraction and upwards. When you start talking to people you need an opener, in which you answer 2 questions. (what does this guy want, when will he leave) Notice something about them and comment on it, which lets you transition to regular conversation. Touching on the low end (shoulder brushes, thumb wars) builds comfort, working your way up keeps you out of friend zone. friendzone != a girlfriend As you said, it's a major part of relationships anyway.

How exactly? Why would a girl want a relationship with a guy she isn't attracted to, or feels comfortable with? What I talk about can lead to the typical bf/gf relationship with the feelings and all that jazz, or a purely sexual relationship. Anyone who has ever had a girlfriend did the things I talk about whether they know it or not, I just give the exact details which makes it much easier to do. All I'm "advertising" as you put it, is natural selection.

So many posts seem to just be how to attract a girl.. Maybe I should just collect all my posts from here and paste bin them so I can refer people. Just hit the attraction switches over and over. Confidence, smiling, willingness to walk away, ability to effect her emotions, (good and bad ones) humor, leader of men, protector of loved ones, pre selection etc etc. All the alpha male stuff. Run that EV routine I posted a while back if you want, girls love it. Tell stories laced with attraction switches. I don't know if I mentioned the cube routine in this thread, but basically it's pretty easy to do. Just a cold read by getting her to picture a cube, then adding flowers, a storm, a ladder and a horse and bull [cabbage]ting your way through by making your own interpretations off her description. Even the first time I tried it, they all said it was 90% accurate. Escalate touching starting from thumb wars etc, and eventually work up to hand on leg etc. I posted a 'ladder' of escalation a few pages back. Do this from the get go and calibrate based on what stage you are in and the reactions you get. (attraction, comfort etc) Pretending like you didn't notice her isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as you go the other way too - push/pull is important. Things like, 'that was funny, too bad you're still a dork' etc Don't give her any IOIs until she gives you some, 'reward' her with them. Get her qualifying herself with questions like 'are you adventurous' or something. Move onto open ended questions etc to build comfort and make a move. :thumbup:

oooh oooh oooh do you get a talkbox with it? :lol:

Ok after having a look at that website I have a better idea of a decent team for beating the game with. starmie @ leftovers surf thunderbolt thunderwave recover Exeggutor @ leftovers Explosion Sleep Powder Giga Drain Psychic jolteon @ leftovers thunderbolt hidden power water agility/substitute baton pass marowak @ thick club bonemerang/curse earthquake/curse rockslide/curse hidden power/curse typhlosion @ leftovers flamethrower thunderpunch earthquake hidden power snorlax @ leftovers body slam rest sleep talk curse What do you guys think? And where the hell do you get eggxecute in crystal? I read that you have to headbutt trees in some forest near the slowpoke cave but I tried it for ages and never got anything.

I decided to give crystal a go, next week I'm going to be without internet and too busy with unpacking to go out so I need something for entertainment. I know pretty much nothing about pokemon after gen 1, so I'd appreciate some team suggestions. I'm not going to battle so it doesn't have to be perfect, just using it to beat the game. So far I'm thinking: starmie surf/thunderbolt/thunderwave/recover Tyranitar rockslide/earthquake/curse/rest snorlax maybe? rest/body slam/?/? I read espeon is good, I wouldn't mind a psychic. I'm picking the fire guy as a starter, not sure if it's worth keeping or what moves I should teach it. Dragonite would be nice, but might be a waste of a spot because of tyranitar. I can't use anything I'd have to trade to evolve because I'm using an emulator and I don't want to [bleep] around with trading emulators. I've also always liked electrics because of their speed, and could also use an annoyer to sleep, paralyze etc.

I've been in a couple crashes, but I've never been in a wheelchair. Apparently doctors are skeptical with things like anxiety and just call people with stuff like that hypochondriacs. I get other weird stuff like a feeling in my head like someone is tapping my brain with their fingers for hours at a time. I have it right now actually :wall: I'm finished school, the most stressful thing I can think of would be deciding my future, but I've pretty much done that so idk if it's it. Haven't passed out, though I kinda wish I did when I have them. The only thing I can think of other than low potassium would be them having started via my first panic attack, which happened when I used weed laced with pcp. (Guessing the bag used to contain it or something) Though that was months before I started getting them regularly. I mostly get them at night, been getting bad ones every night apart from the last 2 nights. I found that if I count sheep and really concentrate on it, it distracts me enough so the anxiety doesn't effect me. If I let my concentration slip for a second it can be hard to get rid of it again though. When they are bad I can't read, it just frustrates me.

Just an update. My aunt said she had bad anxiety attacks for years, and taking a potassium supplement solved it. I was having attacks for hours at a time during the day, and bad ones every night. I've been taking the pills for a couple days and seen improvements, but it's too early to tell. I also forgot to take a dose yesterday so I'm paying for it now :(

There are logistics issues. She can feel uncomfortable at your place unless you have developed enough comfort, which should be after attracting her. (Again, if you're in high school it's not as important because you need no game anyway) If you have built comfort, invite her over as a casual thing. Just hanging out etc. As rpg said, unless you have built comfort it's likely to seem creepy and weird, but not definite. Somewhere original, don't go with a movie. I love taking girls ice skating :thumbup: Very few people in australia have done it before so it's fun, original, and I DHV by teaching her. Play to your strengths. For example if you have a great body take her to the beach.

So I found out today I have an ants nest in my laptop. I don't eat over it and my room is pretty clean so I have no idea why they would be in there. Tried opening it up, but the nest seems to be deeper than just inside the case. I turned it upside down and shook it a bit when it was open and like 100 ants fell out :thumbdown: I have it sitting on a table with a pool of that sticky ant rid stuff next to it, hoping to coax them out. Any other suggestions?

Is that a trick question? :? Go ahead and make your move if you want. Use the 'do you want to kiss me' routine if you can't just do it outright.

Doing that will work against you, though it shouldn't matter in high school as long as you don't over do it. I knew a guy who was funny, smart, confident and really social in high school, but he never had any success with girls because he always made jokes about himself and he became the dancing monkey. High school is filled with sexually exclusive relationships without the sex, at least until the higher grades so you can't have them all at once. Personally in that situation I would flirt with all 3, but build more comfort with K. She sounds like someone you could be close friends with, but might turn romantic later on. Maybe hook up with H if I could, I personally don't like relationships with ditzy girls, but if she's a cheerleader she can be a great pivot. J would be the girl I'd go after if I wanted a relationship.

You argument for not raising max hp is pretty weak. It seems be be "I then couldn't max out hp as fast as other skills." I don't see what's so bad about it. I've never liked the idea of grinding, it's boring and stupid. Why not let the extra hp be a bonus when you slowly raise it through pking/slayer/whatever else?

:lol: I actually just got a really similar haircut. You might want to see a doctor about the acne, they can prescribe stuff to clear it right up when it's really bad like that. Shave though, and I recommend blond streaks in your hair :thumbup: Try the NLP routine I posted a while back, girls love it. Play [bleep] marry kill and other games if you want for an 'our world conspiracy.' Pointing out random guys you see, and telling her that he would be perfect for her is also fun. About the whole hooking up in the movies thing, only do it if you really want. Personally I don't understand what It is about the sticky floors, crying babies and smell of grease that gets people so turned on in the movies but it's not for me unless I'm wound up from a dry streak. I've actually used that yawn then arm around thing, (though I followed with C&F) and opened with the stupidest pick up lines I know. (You're 'No Parking' right? Just trying to guess your sign, Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again? etc etc) It can work because they know you're joking around. If it doesn't, who cares you're still having fun.
