It is stupid women's fault, George. Blame women, it will make you feel better, and is also more truthful. My impression of you is as a bloke who would look after a lass and who would make her laugh and feel special and I'm sure most here, if not all, would agree.

I'd disagree with you for various reasons but I don't want to hijack Alex's thread


Sod it, VR is dying, post where you like. Alexatron is probably off somewhere with his hareem, he won't mind. I guess I just think you need to believe in yourself more, man. There are so many sh*te men in the world who treat everyone like crap and don't think about anyone but themselves. You are better than them, you need to know that.

I do know that, women need to know it. Though some know and still reject me because they like 'bad guys'.
I do actually know a couple of girls who I think I could have a good chance with, however, I don't make a move because they are BORING. Which is a hateful thing to say but it's TRUE.

Hijack away! And George, I would agree with Claire based on what I know of you and the little everyone else says.

Out of interest, for peeps like Tom, George and me, what is it about getting people of the opposite (or same!) sex to be interested? If you're not highly sexy what's everyone's methods?

I think this should be turned into a general single thread where people can report on their quests for love/sex and the rest of VR can give advice where appropiate *nods*
I hope some day, for some reason, David Duchovny is investigated by the FBI. Because that would make a great story.

Double post...

I think confidence is key from my limited single career. Before meeting and going out with Sarah I had no confidence whatsoever with women; I'd physically retreat from interraction with women who liked me and have no confidence to talk to the ones I really did like. Now I know I must be at least alright to have tricked, I mean, convinced, a girl like Sarah to like me so what's to get in my way of twisting another reasonably attractive girl's arm into going out with me? And even if she doesn't like me it won't have the horrible scarring effect it used to because I now do have more confidence.

Another difference for me is the fact I'm not overly arsed since breaking up with Sarah. The cliche is that you find love when you're not looking for it and whilst I don't entirely agree with that it does directly apply to me; I've not really tried the last couple of months and have just concentrated on getting myself together and, particularly the last month or so, having a good time.

That's my tuppence.

Confidence is a growing thing, back when I was a shattered husk of a man, prior to my rebirth as an all conquering gargantuan WINNER with the mind of a f*cking scientist and a c*ck like a Burmese python, I tried to focus on the little wins, chatting to new people, just getting out, then taking it from there and remembering those little WINS the next time you feel a bit sh*t, then building on them, till you're just one huge f*ck off ball of WIN, bitchslapping sh*t all over the f*cking show.

In summary; Hang in there

I find clubbing them over the head helps...

Nah, last girl I ended up seeing was the sister to my then guitarist, he had spent ages banging on to her and in turn me about how well we'd get on... Figures he was right.. More right than he was expecting (To the point where he actually banned us from meeting for ages for this very reason). So erm, having mates bang onto folk about how awesome you are or how well you'd get one maybe?

Darren is most certainly not my god!

 
For me, attractive in a bloke is:

Honesty
A little, but not too much, confidence
Humour
Ability to make conversation because I can't

The hardest of those really is confidence. If you don't have it, it's hard to get, but it's always something you can work on.

Actually, I find it just kinda comes and goes with me.

For example. Katie, I met her for the first time at Ryna's first gig and was kinda struck by her, but said nothing. We met up many months later at her brothers birthday and instantly hit it off, anyone who knows me knows I'm not overly confident or able to start and maintain conversations easily. Even with people I'm close to. With Katie I was the exact opposite, was chatty, confident, funny charming... Completely not who I am in day to day life, just who I can be when the mood grabs me. Same with when I met most of my ex's the first time to be honest.. Hell same with people I currently really like but am too smitten to say anything to.

Confidence, like everyone else has said, is key.

I don't consider myself attractive, but I don't really find going out with girls very difficult, it depends though. I mean anyone can pull in a nightclub, and what you do to pull a girl can directly affect what you get out of it. A cheesy chat-up line will get you a slap or sex if she thinks it's cute. A compliment will get you a slap or a date and rohypnol will get you pretty much anything you want and a prison sentence.

Trying to go out with a girl you already know is hard though, I've always found it hard to steer clear of the dreaded "friend zone" myself. I went out with a girl from work once and it didn't really take that much; chatting, compliments and a lot of flirting got me a date and a further three months of going out with her before I eventually realised she was an asshole.

Anyway, for girls confidence is all you need, aprt from remembering to be yourself. It's cliché, I know, but it's very true. For guys it's a different story, but I'll leave that for another thread!
I like Jesus but he loves me so it's awkward.

Rayanne Graff: i spoke to him a couple of times and that was in October of 2009.
the doc: Wow, a proper old head
Rayanne Graff: Yeah, he was the 15th person to join.
satansrubberduck: I didn't directly start Spam. Also the proof of that long since disappeared.
Rayanne Graff: No, it didn't; the Spam spam spam you made in 2002 is on page 105 of the Spam board.
satansrubberduck: Oh. I looked for it years ago and couldn't find it. The colour tags are (thankfully) broken.
satansrubberduck: Odd to think it's been over a decade since I first got involved with 'Zine.
Claire: It's not odd to me since I've just had the exact same conversation with you...
