We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on. Posts of the following nature are banned: 1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post. 2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no. 3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture. 4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments. Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on. We will not tolerate any lengthy derailments that aren't directly about dating. | ||

I may be full of self hate, yes. I suppose that could have something to do with it. | ||

Of course French youngsters are scared of asking girls out, the expectations of ladies must be so insane. :D Ah the myth of the french lover ! Very effective in every country but France. | ||

A lot of people say that I don't post much on facebook (which is true, I don't have a lot of pictures and I'm very selective in those I do put online) but that's a conscious decision. I don't want to have my life on display on the internet. If you want to get to know me, talk to me. Facebook is great to stay in touch with people, but it's by no means a replacement for real human-to-human contact. I've noticed that a lot of people who sound very confident and open on facebook can be totally different if you talk to them face to face. I used to be like that as well. If you want to get to know me, talk to me. Wow, you took the wrong thing out of there. I don't put up pictures because of the same reasons (I don't care if other people can see what I'm doing). The point is that he does things. The sentences following the FB comment is the important part, "he does cool shit, so he has stories to tell, which means he has something to talk about." Note that I never, prior to this post, commented on my FB pictures (or lack thereof).

This girl could do some crazy shit, specially when drunk, mostly (i think) becuase she was eating Benzo at the time (very strong anti-depressant) so she would roll around on the floor and say that she hated me one second, and the next making out with me like a lunatic. We only dated for a little while and I fell soooooooooooooooooooooo deeply in love with her, mostly because she was so fucked up haha :D Also I just loved her kids so much! They would sometiems sit right next to me and be like "Can you read us a story?" And be just so cute as kids can be! (girls 2 and 4 yrs old) Anyways as you might expect it ended with me very very heart broken and she found some other guy shortly after. As a revenge I decided to have a go at her younger sister, who was clearly showing me some signs. Long story short, the younger sister invited me to a party, where we made out and her guy friend got really angry and almost beat me up (we were at his place) I didnt go for the fight and then he just took her and put her on his lap, and she sort of fell asleep. Lol im such a pussy sometiems  Anyways im completely done with that crazy family.................................. | ||

Lol im such a pussy sometiems Wtf hahaha. To be honest i think most people had already such kind of crazy girl on their life, and if they haven't, they should. Gives you a lot of perspective to value when a girl is being crazy or just over dramatic. | ||

If you dont have time to go out to meet girl. Use online services. Well... maybe not if you're really young; in my experience online dating works fine above 25 but is kinda meh below 25. | ||

 I was on a date once with this guy who seemed to be really insecure the whole time. He was really quiet, did not talk much and in an awkward moment took my hand which made the moment even more awkward ... I had felt like I had to carry the entire conversation and was not that pleased with the date. So at the end of the date he asked me how I felt about the day. We actually had known each other for a long time already online and had skyped regularly (he had never been this shy and quiet then) but this had been the first meeting face to face. He said that he wanted to know the truth about whether I liked the date. So I said that it had been nice but that I felt like I made most of the conversation whereas he had not been sharing with me as much as I had. And what happend? He started to cry!!! I was seriously dumbfounded!!! Maybe it was stupid and cruel of me to end the date that way but he asked for my honest opinion! Needless to say I did not went on a second date with him ^^ | ||

Confidence is a great thing, lets you take criticism. ^_^ | ||

Needless to say I did not went on a second date with him ^^ As an anecdote... when I was in France and went through what we call Maths Sup - Maths Spé (2 years after high school which are really rough to train yourself in mathematics/sciences for the entry contest in engineering school). One of my teacher was pretty found of calling me face to face a dumbass and how I should go to literary school and how I was a good for nothing. That kind of thing made my skin pretty thick when I'm now being criticized. (Not that I necessarily agree with his method... but still guy that cry for what you said... must not have been screamed at many times in his life). However I sometimes dream that I kill the guy... hmmm :X And also I'm really annoyed by people getting all whiny over a remark or a small failure... I tend to feel contempt over so much weakness (which is sadly rampant in my field). | ||

It has nothing to do with gender, but self confidence or being mature enough, but i guess more guys dig into the "innocent shy girl", dunno. | ||
