Someone please tell me this is'nt a universal law. Frankly I find signs of intellect (aka, reading) a turn on. Neiztche, well, I have some issues with Neiztche. Though sometimes I find myself agreeing with his madman. I am turned off by guys who are obviously trying to impress me. If you're a real bad-ass, you don't need to prove it. I'll figure it out for myself. ------------------ Take by surprise and the world gives up resistance. - Tennesee Williams IP: Logged

At least it has been shown to be true by all girls i have come in contact with. oh well, it is not like it is that important. I did think of another way to not get a girl. Don't want up to them and say, "can we have sex" I have not done this, but i am sure it would be a turnoff, maybe i am wrong. nayt ------------------ Art: making weird people seem interesting since 1503 IP: Logged

They will never catch on but you might snag a girl. I personally haven't ever given a damn about what anyone thought about me but i have seen my friends employ the above trick quite successfully...so try it, might work for you. Now remember, confidence, nonchalance, and a lot of effort, thats all you need. IP: Logged

Never ever tell them what you're really like or let your temper get the better of you in a pool hall and get into a fight while on a date. Even if you win the fight and no matter how spectacularly well you handle the pool cue, you've just lost the girl. She will forget your phone number and name at the end of the date and you will most certainly never see her again...... IP: Logged
SupportGoddess Highlie Posts: 601 From: The Digital Temple Registered: Jul 2001	posted May 11, 2002 13:21 I have to agree with Xanthine, Dr. C. If I think a guy is attractive and then find out he doesn't read he suddenly becomes way less attractive. Dr. C, different people find different things attractive. Just be who you are and eventually you will meet a girl who finds you attractive for who you actually are. Don't try to hide things that you feel girls find unattractive, you won't really be happy. And even worse, you might miss out on a chance with someone who might find you genuinely attractive. ------------------ "Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life." -Michael Sinz IP: Logged

It's such a waste of time to get to know someone and then find out they're not anything like the person you thought they were. There should be a form everyone fills out before a date where both people list their worst qualities, bad habits, pet peeves, etc.Then if you can tolerate most of the stuff on each other's list, continue with the date. I did it once and it worked out pretty well... IP: Logged

Dr Cyclops Super Geek Posts: 114 From: rio rancho NM USA Registered: Nov 2001	posted May 12, 2002 07:56 According to Euclydian geomitry, i have infinite patience. I belive that anger is a vice that is rarely nessesary. this reminds me of a quote i came up with one day, "why beat women when you can tickle them?". But, back to the topic, i am also a coward who is too shy to talk to girls anyway. I have a fear that they will all be mindless drones of the capitalist fasion market, more intrested in things that aristotle refered to as vices (such as vanity). IP: Logged

I did it once and it worked out pretty well... would you tell a girl on your first date exactly why you have that scar on your face or certain sounds make you tense up like crazy and get a certain look in your eyes or something like that even if she asks? Certain information is not to be shared trust me. And I'm the way i act, just that there are two sides to me, there is the side that actually more than merits the nick mephisto and then there is the side that is called huggy wuggy teddy bear or something like that by anyone who sees me that way. I'm mephisto only when pushed into a corner but the thing is that even though the side appears less and less now it still exists and i would rather let a girl know what I'm capable of with respect to ruthlessness, brutality in a fist fight or something like that than hide it. but not on the first date only when i see things getting serious. sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I was a normal geek not what I am. Even my wife doesn't like that side of me.....but then who loves a beast? And for the record i told my wife how brutal, ruthless and without a conscience i could be on the third date. Then i asked her whether knowing this do you still want to date me? to her credit she didn't run like hell after hearing what i told her. she actually just put her arms around me and let me lie there. you know, life ain't all that bad......

BasementDweller Geek Larva Posts: 24 From: longmont, co, usa Registered: Feb 2002	posted May 12, 2002 15:39 Hey! No one is pointing out the obvious here. If you are trying to use Nieztche with the ladies, well, I have news for you - he is not a turn on. Try reading Barry White lyrics. Also, guys who take themselves way too seriously (cough, european existenialists, nihilists, etc.) are generally to be avoided. no one wants to have pillow talk about the nipple of woe and misery. I think most women want literate, intelligent men - they just don't want the philosophical baggage that might go along with that. If you can't avoid philosophers, at least try to get drunk before you read them. IP: Logged

OH cmon! I grew up in the Springs, and I spent a year there a couple years ago before I came into the Navy. I didn't seem to have any trouble meeting women that weren't into those things... Then again I was taking care of kids at the time, and when you walk up with triplet boys who are 3 years old.... Instant chick magnet... It also helped that I wasn't married and only taking care of the kids... Women for some reason really like guys who are good with kids...
