Seriously, grow some balls, you nutless pimple farmers!

I don't mind the occasional thread regarding legality of child custody, interesting anecdotes about psychotic drunken exes or what have you, but if I see another thread about some poor lost nerd loser who can't interpret the blatant signals from a girl showing she wants to ride his pony, I swear I'm going to turn someone's neck into a bendy toy.

As far as most of us are concerned, you only live once. That means carpe diem, be a man of action, stop cowering in the corners and stand up for yourself!

Some hints:

- If she acts like she likes you, ASK HER OUT. What's the worst that can happen? She says no. It won't ruin the friendship unless YOU start acting awkard.

- If your life is a living hell because of your significant other, REGARDLESS of how happy you are when she's not torturing you, dump her. You can do better. Granted, no relationship is 100% perfect all the time, but pretty obvious cues to pack your bags are "she went out with another guy to his prom" or "we had our umpteenth fight this week"

- Mind your own g-damn business. Girl you like dating a deadbeat loser? Let her. How would you like it if some hotshot kept trying to convince your g/f to dump you because he didn't like you?

- If you feel the desire to "rescue" a girl, she's likely beyond repair. Successful relationships are built when two people are both secure and confident in themselves. Dragging someone out of the gutter and resuscitating them is a good way to get a codependent living appendage, not a girlfriend.

- Live and learn. Do I call now? How about tomorrow? Should I do this? If you were meant to be with this person, or if they truly cared about you, they'd let you know when you do something wrong. Mistakes are a part of life. Maybe you'll lose one because you called to much. Maybe you lose one because you didn't handle arguments properly. Learn from your mistakes and apply that to the next girl you find.


I just wonder what some people did before there were anonymous internet forums where you could post stuff like this. Me, I just sacked up and asked girls out. Sure, I've been beat down a few times and sent home with my tail between my legs for not following the "rules" but that's how it is.

If you REALLY need help, I think you could do better than a tech forum, honestly.
Try dating.about.com. They have forums there full of people who actually have experience with it, imagine that!

Maybe this will make people think twice about bitching about their 9th grade g/f being a bitch, maybe it won't. I sure feel better now, though! :D

YOu can use my strategy. Respond to all YAGT threads with a response like: "no one gives a crap about your pathetic relationship. You're such a loser, I hope she dumps your ass". If everyone starts doing this, there will be no more YAGT threads.

Haleleujah. This post should get a sticky! Boys nowdays are terrified that they might become traumatized by being rejected. Abuse of any sort is not acceptable. If your GF is banging your best friend in front of you, she isn't your GF. If a girl needs to be rescued she will only drag you down with her. Long distance relationships are not relationships. "I'm sorry" means "you're an insecure a$$hole and I'm going to stick it to you every chance I get".

LoL!!! I never knew the "G" meant "girlfriend". I just ignore those threads, I read 2 lines and figure it stands for "Yet Another Geek Thread." Anyone with any sense of fvckin pride (or reality

) wouldn't whine about supposed girl troubles here.

There are DEFINITELY way too many YAGT threads. I don't even read them at all anymore. Well almost not at all.

LMAO, but OTOH, it's easy to criticize if you have a successful relationship or don't remember the heartbreak.

i usually skip over the YAGT's, but it seems like we need some volunteers who are especially patient & sympathetic to deal with 'em, since too many posters don't seem to know where to go to get effective advice.

With the population in OT, perhaps a sticky with "How to Score With All The Chicks You Ever Wanted" as the title would be appropriate.

We could set parameters/signals for when to dump your girlfriend, how to dump your girlfriend, links to lawyers, (the about.dating.com link is classic BTW),

For thousands of years pimple faced youths learned how to cope with relationships with out posting their problems on the Internet or ranting to thousands of people. It's just another weakness that is symptomatic of our culture.

When you are shat upon you take a shower, learn a lesson and move on.

Has anyone considered how boring ATOT might be if not for the YAGT's? I mean, where would we go to flame people who are different than us?

Oh wait... I forgot. Carry on. :)

Amen dude.

You know society is going down the tubes when boybands are more popular than real bands. When the hero of a movie wears a perm. Yes that's right Frodo looks like a girl in LOTR. Can you imagine in our day, Arnold Swartzenegger walking out in a perm? Looking like Richard Simmons? He'd be like: Oh no Misssster Terminator you're a bad bad man, get away get awaay! Even when we were teens we'd have just walked out on that movie. Heck we laugh at it now on SNL, it's called the ambigously gay duo kids. Frodo and Richard Simmons are here to save the day! blech

In my day if a priest touched a little boy he'd be praying for his life, not phoning his lawyer on his cellphone. I'd hate to see where society is evolving to. If this trend continues I expect the nutsack will be obsolete like the appendix is now.

later pimple poppers, ladies and gents

That's the thing; they're all the SAME. It would be at least *interesting* if they weren't all having the same problem. I just want to scream "REPOST" in half of them because the same question was answered in the last YAGT.

At least when Jerboy was here it'd get interesting. :p

I agree with you on most counts except for the long distance relationships.

I met a wonderful girl at a friend's wedding a few months ago in Colorado (I live in California). It's been four months as of today and things are going just peachy. It all depends on how much you want to make it work.
I guess it makes things a bit easier that she's moving out here this summer though :)
