Out of my league is such a stupid thing to say, theres no such thing as long as you know how to talk to a girl.

No, there is.

Just like how you'll never score Scarlett Johansson, there are girls who are out of your league.

The only women out of my league are the ones that I choose to keep out.

Pretty much this, you can chat up just about any girl if shes down to talk and you have the chops to pull it off. Hell I remember being invited to a friends going away party right as I was walking out of the gym one day, I stopped by and even though I was in my gym clothes having just ran a few miles I still was chatting up all the hot sorority girls at the party. Its all in your confidence and delivery.

I avoid pictures like the plague. I'm not a terrible looking guy, but I'll be damned if I'm not one of the most unphotogenic. :p I'd say I look marginally normal in maybe 1% of the pictures in which I appear.

Being attractive doesn't hurt either.

For many years, I would not let many photos be taken of me. Hell, I even skipped out on our year book photos for two years in high school. It was sort of a running gag, really. I got a giggle out of it.

From the age of 15 to the age of 30, there were probably a total of 10 photos of me taken, most of which were by relatives at a family reunion or something. I've had a few taken in the past few years, though.

Just how ugly are you?

I just thought it was funny, but then I guess it took on a life of its own and I kept doing it. It started with the year book photos as an inside joke, then I started dodging any other type of photo. I kind of regret it, actually. Some of the best years of my life and no photos of me.

Oh and it gets worse. My mother said it would break her heart if I didn't get my senior photos done and in the year book, so I went ahead and did those, and I'm in the senior year book. But when people started asking me for photos to exchange, I told everyone that the photographs hadn't come in yet. This was a lie, I just didn't want anyone to have photos of me. In return, I didn't ask anyone else for their photos, either. When people wanted me to sign their year book, I told them no thanks, and didn't ask anyone to sign mine (in spite of being fairly popular). This really offended some people but I didn't care.

I was a really weird/strange kid in some ways. Some strange things I did, I still think are funny, but other things I did, I'm like "WTF was wrong with me??" haha, oh well...

If it makes you feel better, I just found my senior year yearbook. Reading the signatures was a nice bit of nostalgia but completely fucking useless.

I don't like being in pictures for two reasons:

a) It would reduce my rep as an international man of mystery
b) I hate lawsuits from shattered DLSR mirrors.

i cant believe how you guys are falling for a covert brag thread.

Is that an internet thing? because where I'm from if you talk about dancing with a girl and not getting any you'll laughed at and possibly punched in the face. The fact he clearly admitted he didn't do anything but dance makes it look worse for him. Only on the internet could shit like this be even remotely considered a brag thread.

No, there is.

Just like how you'll never score Scarlett Johansson, there are girls who are out of your league.

She's not out of my league... just out of my social circle. There's a difference. ;)

Plus, really, there were waitresses working at the place I had lunch today who were way hotter than her...

Your league is what you limit it to.

TridenT at least makes strong attempts towards extroversion. I know that I'd be the obligatory weirdo sitting in a corner watching people dance, assuming you could drag me to such social event in the first place.

In his defense, I have danced with many chicks (not like that style though) and at most just got some tits against me or a grind on my thigh.

I usually end up with something from someone by the end of the night, just not all dance partners.

To me dancing shows a bit how compatible you will be in bed. Both people can feel if there's chemistry or not. Thank god songs are about 3 mins.

All I needed to see was the thread title and OP's name to know exactly what was going on in this thread.

What a disappointment. This thread was updated. I was expecting Trident to update us and tell us that he scored with that chick (or at least get her number). I was getting ready congratulate the kid. Instead, we get more of this kid swimming in his self pity.
