Wow, this thread, lol.. In my experience, most of the time a woman wants you to be a leader, not her owner. And the thing about treat them bad and it makes them want you might appear true, but it will also make them hate you so why would you want to bother with that.. Being a good leader can take some people years to learn, and usually a few mistakes. I wouldn't say they all end up being bitches to you either. At some point, yes the niceties wear off, but its up to you both at that point to make the day to day as pleasant as possible. You're only going to be as good a team as whoever is putting in the least effort wants it to be. So also sometimes you have to just cut your losses if it isn't going where you want it to, but try negotiation first because maybe they'll compromise and if not there are plenty of fish in the sea. No need to drive it into the ground to end it, just walk away. "While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior" ~ Henry C. Link That's my opinion.
Exactly. Since you feel inferior, don't you feel sorry for being wasting the chicks' time? I know this may sound kinda weird, but I rather sit all alone at home than going out to get to meet them, so I will never feel guilty for anything awkward she might notice. I act like this because I care about them.
I've met several of those at comic book stores or at school and believe me, you wouldn't want most of them I can't stand that anime/manga type of girl. Those that I met thought they'd know everything about Japan and talked without a pause about their mainstream anime stuff. Uargh. I always start to ask them about something else but anime and manga and there goes their interest for Japanese culture! Nothing apart from fucking Final Fantasy and Hayao Miyazaki! Not a single one of these fucked up weeboos I was talking to saw several movies of Seijun Suzuki, Kurosawa, Tsukamoto, Kitano etc. Very few knew any Japanese music apart from anime soundtracks. All in all, Japanese culture seemed to be unknown apart from how *everybody loves cosplay and gashapon*. The reason why I hate weeboos is that they make my interest in Japan seem to be similar to their superficial fuck of a hobby. Every girl I've been interested in was not into anime, video-games or Japanese culture. It's not good if you have to every time she talks about her interests. Best to be avoided by catching an intelligent girl rant over.
Hmm.. you missed the point, don't hesitate, don't worry about being embarrassed if you make a mistake, we're all human. You'll never hit a home run if you don't start swinging at the ball. Yes you will strike out a few times, but you'll get better. Positive thinking goes a long way guys, really think of something that makes you happy, hype yourself up, walk up to a girl you think is interesting and if she isn't into you say oh well and realize you haven't lost anything by trying. Be like Nike and just do it. I can't count how many girls shot me down back in my school days. Cheers to the ones I shared good times with since I didn't let it get me down. You're the one building your memories not them so if you fail once try again and find someone that wants to build some good memories with you. Don't fill up your memories with "Hmm remember that whole year I spent thinking and feeling bad?" Sometimes you have to forget dating and just have a good time with friends instead and you never know then someone might see you having a good time being yourself and want to see more. I don't know how else to try to get the point across. Maybe you just need to hear it from someone you trust.
Yeah, I never used to make mistakes when I was younger. Then I started making mistakes and I was so embarrassed by them. Doesn't affect me that much anymore, but the feeling of embarrassment really gets to me (I can't shake it off quickly, it just keeps nagging at me). That's the reason I don't talk to girls or meet anyone new. It's not something I'm proud of, but I find it really hard to change. (I never thought the internet would be first place I talk about this)
Yes. It was very lame (and I like the Onion). I went snowboarding w/ a colleague of mine ages ago. He's an expert, easily. He's from Canada and boarded multiple times per week every season... and is about 7-8 years older than me as well. In comparison, I was and still am a total vaj on a board. But, he told me something that I think can be applied to just about anything in life. "If you don't fall down, you're not trying hard enough."
