Being unafraid to show sexuality toward women (but also not letting it take control of you), which doesn't pin you into being either promiscuous or the one women man type. It can be applied to both mindsets. | ||

First, send out an early scout to gather as much information as you can about your target as early as possible--you wouldn't want to get totally pwned by a proxy 2-gate zeal rush because you went for an early expo. Next (assuming you got the scout into her main) determine if you like her pylons and make sure her probes aren't carrying syphilis. Now you have a strategical decision to make. Either 1) If you like her base structures, and are confident that you can go into a long macro game with her, go ahead and start expanding. Or 2) If you think that a long, macro game would be too much trouble for what it's worth, you can counter with a quick rush preferably pulling all of you workers to go in for the clusterfuck and hopefully raze all of her pylons. Then get the hell out of there. Or 3) GG, and find another game. Although I normally would at least try my luck with a rush before GGing. It's pretty simple really. If you don't want to waste time playing a long TvT game with a particular target but generally like playing long, macro games, choose options 2 or 3 and look for the game that allows you to choose option 1. On the other hand, some people would rather be a clit commander, so they end up choosing option 2 over and over again hoping to raze as many pylons as possible in a short amount of time. You might get criticized for how you play, but a win is a win in the end. It just comes down to personal preference. So to give advice to the OP, make sure you get that scout in and go in to the game knowing which option you prefer. | ||

Women are the ones being "nice" all the time, and if you happen to be a nice guy, you're not pushing any of their buttons, but instead acting like one of the girls. She'll view you as one of her female friends at most. ---- If you can't beat them why not join them? You'll probably think that doesn't fit my character to be a bad boy, and i don't want to manipulate women. The truth is that you're already manipulating women by being nice, you're not like that 24/7, you do act different around hot girls so you can manipulate them anyways by being "nice" anyways. So why not just be a bad boy instead of complaining? just skip the abuse. | ||

There was a study performed, in which the subjects (all women) were played tapes of men answering several personal questions. The recordings of men who made more "feminine" responses were deemed more mentally fit and emotionally stable by the women than the men who made more "masculine" responses. What does this mean? Be careful in your interpretation  And bear in mind that the experiment itself could have had error also. | ||

I've also been told for most of my life that to get a girl that being myself is a good way to go. So we find later that that's a bunch of bullshit, and we can't actually be ourselves and get girls. I'm disillusion and frustrated by this reveloation. Why should I have to be a worse person who isn't myself to get girls? | ||

And it would make sense that they would say that, because they would like to believe that women are more mentally fit and emotionally stable than men, so they perceieve the more feminie men that way as a way to convince themselves that they are as well. | ||

However, if you want my advice, it's simple: 1. Convert your anger and frustration into something productive. Everytime I get frustrated about something, I just start to study harder, read more, work out harder and the such. This gives you two advantages: First of all, you can manage your anger and second, your extra motivation puts you even further ahead of your laughable contestants. 2. Show what you've got. Now, I cannot stress that point enough, since there is a huge load of very intelligent, talented and nice people who just haven't got the courage to show their abilities/personalities. As long as you don't show your skills etc. in a while, loudmouths and the such are going to outrun you, since by the time people see through them, they've already done the damage. 3. Expose them, if necessary. Now, this is rather personal and I don't know how you feel about arguments/bashing others and the such. As for me, I'm rather a quiet and thoughtful person, but there is a pain limit, when it comes to bragging in front of me and there have been occasions, where I would completely cut low some guy/girl in front of everybody. I know this isn't quite sporting, but if you just cannot take it anymore, you've got to let it out. Some people just don't deserve better. Well, hope you're not too frustrated and I'm looking forward to any posts of yours or any further elaboration. Regards | ||

It's the response people give when they really don't have any advice for you. If it's a problem that can be solved by being yourself, then there shouldn't have been a problem to begin with. | ||

I know, it sucks, I know a few of my friends have told me they've cheated on their girlfriends or have fuck buddies or stuff and I just feel really bad, especially when the girl is really innocent looking and is a really nice person. They don't deserve to be hurt like that. Oh well, nothing matters when there's an O on the line. EDIT: ;D | ||

You can infact be your "new self" your new character that you want to develop that is naturally attractive to women. Why would you want to be yourself when you've had no sucess for the past 20 years anyways? Again it seems like you're manipulating women this way, but the truth of the matter is that you're manipulating women anyways by being nice and generous. You have the mindset that "I want her, so I'm going to be nice to her" which is already maniplative. | ||

His statement that gave me such idea was that "jerks get women" "woman doesnt like nice guys". Basically, you're just not playing the right way. Drop your bloody wuss attitude and grow a man. Woman are attracted to manliness, not wussness. for more info, read semioldguy's posts of what manliness is, so you dont miss-interpret that. | ||

Also there's a difference between being nice and being some pussy that gets walked over. | ||

The wuss approach to meeting women works for those who don't get much attention from men, but for the hot ones, it does not work at all unless you keep chasing her for years on end, and eventually she'll fall for you. | ||

I am always myself. Unshowered, unshaved, bad breath, only cares about games. So when my friend walks in and asks me "wanna get lunch? [Female classmate] and her roommate are coming too," I nod (cuz hunger gets in the way of sustained gaming) and finish my game, and we go to pick them up. My friend has showered and dressed pretty well - I'm still in my slippers and... well, I'm me. Afterwards he informs me that this is a big no-no, and it was extremely rude of me to do this. WELL, I'M HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. I STILL GOT MY GAMES. (No, this post was not meant to be insightful, helpful, or hurtful.) | ||

When you meet a hot girl you have the mindset of "I'm being nice to her, so she can return it to me sometime". You're not being nice just to be yourself, but you have a purpose of it, and therefore is manipulating. | ||
