I know someone said confidence is BS but that is really all I had in my dating days. Noability, no trendy clothes, an old car, very little money, not very good looking......

it was the giant schlong wasn't it?

nope. I'm not exactly lacking in that area but I didn't whip it out and hypnotize them with it either

I saw a porn movie where the protagonist did this

Agreed. Completely uncalled for and unnecessary. If anyone else called any of the female in committed relationships around here (GeekBabe, Lola, etc.) that name, they'd be attacked. For some reason, when it's applied to me it's tolerated. And that, IMO, is not okay.

Thats because the females you listed have some sort of self respect. And I've seen Geekbabe attacked before when she crosses the line. I've also seen some amazing posts out of her...you are just an idiot. "OMG SOMEONE HACKED MY ACCOUNT." Did a mod post varifying your side of the story that I am unaware of? Why are you, who got engaged in 6 weeks, giving out dating advice...you have hardly dated.

I was contacted via phone by a mod who verified my side of the story, and he explained how many ATOT usernames/passwords were accidentally on display.

I may have posted some silly things in the past, but nobody's dumb enough to joke around something as serious as questionable infidelity. Especially when it comes to me, as I am very open about my happiness with my relationship and my fiance.

Tell you what...you get a mod to back up your story, My bet is 50% of the negative responses you have here would go away. Until that time, I have no reason to believe your side of things.

Thread in question

Will this work for you?

According to polls it's early 20s, but I think it's in actuality lower (I picture glasses-clad high school toothpicks with palm-dreadlocks voing "20-24", thinking "I act mature for my age" after posting an "A ____ popped out of my air conditioner!!1!1" thread). That and most here act immature for their age regardless.

addendum to OP:

5) do not call women whores and / or sluts. not doing so drastically DEcreases your chances of picking up!!!

edit: oops

I see a locked thread because it turned into a flame fest, and what could possibly be a made up mod PM. No, thats not the standard of proof im looking for. Nice try, but you are still a whore in my eyes.

i can attest to acting approximately 6-9 years younger approximately 69% of the time. see, prime example. :roll: at myself...

My question is

after you get the eye contact and I meet her eyes, How do I approach her?

I don't know what to say, how to approach without seeming desperate or awkward, etc.

any ideas? Looking for serious answers

my evil self wants to tell you to eat a bag of BBQ Fritos, smack her ass and call her Sally. but in reality, it sounds like a little bit of confidence could take you a long way! Just be confident, don't be nervous. For all you know she is twice as nervous. Women can sense if you're confident or not. Remember, you may get shut down 9 out of 10 times, but you'll never get that lucky strike unless you give it a shot. g/l

The Mods did say that her account was hacked.

Thanks, oldsmoboat. I know we've butted heads before and I know I'm definitely not your favorite person on the boards (although my fiance thinks you're funny and pretty cool, minus the me-bashing), but I appreciate your coming out and stating the truth. I wish the Mods would speak up, as they seem to be the only voice of reason people listen to around here, but perhaps they've done all they feel they can do.

Walk up, say hello, and smile. :) (not in a creepy way, but in a friendly way)

Maybe compliment her... I like your dress/necklace/etc., and start making small talk after that.

Cool, nice compilation :thumbsup:. If I wasn't already in a long-term relationship I'd probably ponder on it quite a bit.

Such an ideal world some people live in...

If I've ever been a nice, respectable guy who actually listens to what a girl has to say, and all that BS, I've had mixed results at best.

When I'm a loud, obnoxious asshole, which can happen when I drink alot, I tend to go home with a girl.

Why does it work that way? Girls are idiots.

My friends and I had a pretty funny conversation about what it would be like to be "back in the game". It was hilarious - I know you probably "had to be there" but it's funny when your friend is like, "ah, i sucked at the women" and everyone is like, "no man, you had GAME!!" lol.
