And maybe this thread has something to do w/ it: http://tnation.T-Nation.com/free_online_forum/music_movies_girls_life/anyone_play_ultimate_assassins_on_the_web

It is literally the perfect game to play while taking breaks from work, studying, etc. Takes about 3 seconds to play a few times a day, and the forums on there are pretty cool/funny. Check it out man, you may end up liking it!

I see it no less nerdy than being on a weightlifting message board haha.[/quote]

Learning to get bigger, stronger, and/or leaner is the same as talking about some online role playing game?

[/quote]

Is that odd?

I approach every training session with the same white hot burning intensity as I do a game of Magic the Gathering or Dungeons and Dragons.

The more I learn about lifting weights, the more I realize that it isn’t an exact science, and that while you do learn on the web, you can only learn so much before you have to just go do and experience for yourself.

The internet is really only a convenience because it allows you to converse with people who already have that experience and can give you direction, but when it all boils down to it you are going to have to do the work yourself to find out what works for you.

That is a separate point though, and this is a thread for me getting flamed over being an AFC, so I will leave it at that.

Hahahaha I really am, but seriously don’t ask for help unless you want to get broken down and built back up.

If you were just looking for someone to reaffirm your own delusions of grandeur about yourself and tell you you’re ok and special just the way you are then you’re in the wrong forum.

You can passive-aggressively laugh off my points and advice while seething underneath the surface for the opportunity or information that would undermine my integrity and distract the focus from your obvious need for female approval, but the fact is you’re insecure and most likely co-dependent and needy in relationships and that’s why you’re alone.

There’s a difference between actually caring about people and just relying on them for your own validation. When you learn to actually care about women beyond stroking your pathetic ego maybe you’ll man up and have the balls to approach one, look them in the eye, and say “Hey, you’re really pretty, what’s your name?” and not give a fuck about how creepy or how ‘aggro’ you may come off because you genuinely just want to make them feel good about themselves to whatever extent they will allow or your level of interest defines.

I’m not being passive aggressive man. I am just taking in everyone’s comments and trying to be a sport about it. I created this thread for pointers and so that we can all have a good laugh. Some of what I wrote was dramatized, and sarcastic, but if I didn’t want to get flamed, I wouldn’t have gone and made a post in GAL haha.

I am a fan of the break to build mentality. When you want to fix something you gotta tear it down, figure out what is broken, and then reassemble. It is just how things work.

I don’t think I am codependent though. I live alone by myself in the city, and I have for 3 years after I broke up with my last actual GF. I figured that I had a few other issues to fix and that it was never a good idea to jump into another relationship so fast. That wouldn’t be fair to anyone haha. I always thought codependent people needed to have others for validation.

Thanks for posting though man.

While I don’t take everyone’s advice verbatim (if knowing a person’s entire personality was as easy as making one sarcastic post on GAL, psych wouldn’t exist), I do try to get the point that everyone makes and evaluate whether or not it fits my situation.

I guess what I am saying was that I am not offended. Just looking for entertainment, and don’t mind being the subject of a few jokes.[/quote]

Haha all good buddy, I was playing it up for humor as well, but I’ll admit the two things I hate is when people ‘complain’ about their bodies or picking up chicks. I stopped being a personal trainer because I couldn’t take people not committing to the process or listening to my advice.

The solutions are simple and if you aren’t able to do them it’s a mental block, which takes a lot more work to get through, but if you don’t at least do the basics and just try you’ll never reach your goal or work through the bullshit in your head.

My mentality may be effective in getting things done or picking up girls, but I’m an asshole. I have very few friends, I’m very confrontational, brutally honest, women despise me unless I’m fucking them, I have almost zero social tact, I call people out on their bullshit all the time, I’ve been banned from bars, and pretty much I’m just an all around sarcastic arrogant cynical smart-ass which isn’t very endearing when you’re also big and black.

So, if the tone in which I made my posts seemed condescending, I’ll take the chance now to preface those statements with that although my sentiments are effective they are also extremely alienating and borderline anti-social. haha

What is an ‘awesomeguy’? Haha but no, I didnt. I’ve trolled under some other names, but didn’t start posting until I moved recently and have had a lot of time on my hands.

Yes, he gets more likable the more he posts. Perhaps all he needs to work on is his first impression?
You don’t get much time before a girl/woman has made up her mind and moves on.

There’s probably a little bit of luck and randomness involved. Assuming that OP has some standards and wants to date someone he actually likes, not just the first hooker he can take home, he might just be on an unusually long dry spell of approaching the wrong women for him. Or, as has been postulated, there might be something in his initial approach (or the SETTING in which he approaches) that puts them off.

I had a period (around OP’s age, actually) where I was single for about a year, after breaking off a 2-year relationship. I was just like OP - “I’m young, smart, funny, in good shape” - but a bit shy about asking and I had poor timing. Eventually I figured it out, or just got luckier.

I happen to think one of your earlier posts in the thread has the best paragraph - when you’re confident and happy enough with yourself that you approach a girl with full intention of conversing with her for the sake of learning about her and making her happy, rather than for your own validation, that makes life a lot easier. You don’t worry about the potential embarrassment of getting rejected, and every interaction with a girl is no longer a referendum on whether you’re cool or attractive; it’s just a chance to meet another potentially cool person.

Helpful poster #1: You need to do ABC

OP: Nah, I cant bring myself to do that.

Helpful poster #2: You need to do XYZ

OP: That’s really not my style

Helpful poster #3: It sounds like you are ABC

OP: Not really, I was being sarcastic

Helpful poster #4: It sounds like you are XYZ

OP: LOL I’m glad I wearing my flame retardant suit LOL

Why would I attempt to give you any advice? You’re a smart guy, you obviously don’t need it… (how’s that working for ya?)

Unless you change both your thoughts and your actions you will continue to go through life without getting laid, much less having any positive female action. Thus far, you have expressed an unwillingness to change your thoughts and have expressed contempt at recommended actions.

I smell what you’re stepping in.
