It's not really difficult to meet a woman if you're friendly and polite and have a tiny bit of courage.

What's holding you back? Either you're hideously ugly (not likely) or you've got some sort of personality flaw that really affects your life.

I was heading to the cafeteria to get something to eat. I was hoping that one particular pretty girl would be there (I sometimes see her at the cafeteria -- that's one of the highlights of my work day -- sometimes I get to see pretty girls at the cafeteria but most of the time I don't because in my line of work, girls are kind of rare).

But as I was heading towards the cafeteria, I saw my old supervisor approaching so I quickly turned around (I didn't really get along with him -- he's the first person I have ever worked with that I didn't like working with) and decided to go to the nearby Subway for lunch.

And what did I see at the Subway? It was that pretty girl! I stood next to her in line! That made my day!

the next step will be to say hello, unless you are married 🙂

In this one, StormRider asks if a girl's butt feels different from a man's butt

It's no problem if you're a virgin or anything; it's cool with me. But if you don't touch a girl's butt before your 50th birthday, we're gonna have problems.


ROFLMAO at the 2nd link. I remember that one. I think I even made a lame parody thread after reading it back then. :laugh:

What are you doing?!

Mount her next time!

Get behind, lean down on her back, insert, and if she goes "RWAALLLLLL" be quick about it.
 
I think it was a "perfect storm" that held me back.

I am naturally very shy (I thought my shyness developed during my teen years but I found a kindergarden report card where the teacher said I was well liked by the other kids but that I seemed afraid to interact with them).

I felt invisible to girls almost all my life. When I was younger, relatives would always tease my younger brothers whether they had a girlfriend or not. They never teased me about that -- except one time my favorite aunt said, "Hey, how come no one asks StormRider if he has a girlfriend?" But that only made me feel more uncomfortable. I remember lying in bed sometimes and wonder if there was something wrong with me -- was I some ugly monster or something? Was it unthinkable for me to have a girlfriend?

I know a lot of people will laugh this off -- but the media during my youth also made it seem like asian men were not desirable to women.

My parents also made it clear that they would disappove of having a non-Chinese girlfriend. Which is equivalent to saying there is no one for me because there pretty much was no Chinese girls during my school years.

So I got multiple messages from:

1) Girls (I'm invisible)
2) Family (You cannot have a girlfriend)
2) Media (Asian men are the least desirable of all men)

Plus, family responsibilitys (having to help out at family restaurant didn't do a lot for my self-esteem).

And finally, that little small problem I have joked about. Ever since I saw my little brothers naked and noticed that they were bigger than me -- even though I was almost a foot taller than them -- I have been obssessed with it. I used to hope that maybe it was all in my mind -- that it wasn't really as small as I feared it was. But everytime I researched it, I have come to the conclusion that it really is as small as I fear it is. Most women would probably have a problem with it. It's at the low end of the bell curve.

All these things was like a layer of defense that I've never been able to break through. They all came together like the perfect storm.

Think about it this way. 49% of all people have less than average size penises. It doesn't matter much.

Is this a joke or for real?
