Sup!

Some of you say I lack confidence.

I say, "lies!"

What is confidence? Dictionary definition: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/confidence
1. full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing: We have every confidence in their ability to succeed.

2. belief in oneself and one's powers or abilities; self-confidence; self-reliance; assurance: His lack of confidence defeated him.

3. certitude; assurance: He described the situation with such confidence that the audience believed him completely.

4. a confidential communication: to exchange confidences.

5. (esp. in European politics) the wish to retain an incumbent government in office, as shown by a vote in a particular issue: a vote of confidence.

6. presumption; impudence: Her disdainful look crushed the confidence of the brash young man.

7. Archaic . something that gives confidence; ground of trust.



I believe the second one is what we are referring to.

Now, let's see... ATOT calls me epic fail, a loser, a no life whatever, blahblahblah, god damn-it why am I reading this trident thread, so much fail, rageragerage I hate this kid, and froot loops.

Now... let's go back to what you guys say: I lack confidence. BUT, you also say I am froot loops/1,000,000otherthings.

REMEMBER THE SECOND DEFINITION? Belief in ones self and ones powers or abilities.

Now, let's see... I actually go out and try to socialize with women. I try to get a feel if they like me or not (99.99% hate me because I am ugly, and they allllllll say that). Now, let's see... considering I actually approach women... am I not overconfident now?

Think about it! Froot loops kid actually thinks any woman he EVER approaches or socializes with could possibly ever like him. If I didn't have some kind of hope/confidence, why would I ever even speak to a woman when I didn't have to?

Oh my.

I am overconfident. Shame that is. I'm such a cocky bastard.

I think ATOT and AT&LR fails.

Confidence isn't about definitions or wordplay, confidence is about going out and seizing what you want, realizing that the world isn't going to hand you anything, and finally taking control of your life in a meaningful way.

You do none of these. You have no confidence.

I have read many of your posts where you have said this, or basically the same thing about how your looks are holding you back from meeting women, and how your entire life sucks because of things beyond your control.

My 18 year old son looks remarkably like you (minus the bag of frootloops) and he is beating off women with a stick because of his personality and confidence. Two weeks ago we we came home unexpectedly and interrupted him just before he bed a very good looking girl that he had only met a couple of days before.

His secret .. he is a great guy, with a tremendous personality and knows how to talk to people. We were always worried that he would be bullied at school because he is short, skinny and a little wierd looking, but it never happened because everyone at school liked him. The geeks, the jocks, the popular kids all like him.

He has taken everything positive in his life and overcome the negatives.

Take a lesson.

So, you're going to bring your son out the next AT Meetup, right? I'm always game to meet new wingmen ;).

TridenT, I live within pretty easy driving distance of you. Do you want to have coffee sometime, seriously? I just would be fascinated to meet you in person.

Another Troll fail thread.

BTW, shame on those of you suggesting he look for some fat cow. If getting laid is the goal, save up for a decent hooker. And I've seen plenty of ugly guys with attractive ladies, so the hooker thing may not even be necessary.

From the looks of it, he's blowing all his money on lotto tickets so the fat cow will have to suffice. Unless he can trick the hooker that he'll pay her with a winning lotto ticket that he possesses and just needs to cash in.

Can we possibly just merge all Trident's threads into one thread?

Not possible. All the self-pity and teenage angst would destroy the world.

:ninja:

I'm not looking for support because there is no reason for support. I do it just to see if I can prove things to people. It happens to work most of the time.

The people here are like the people in real life that won't say you're fucking hideous, but just say, "you're not my type." They use similar dialects and try to not seem like assholes, but in reality they're being the biggest asshole they can be because they still try to instill some kind of fleeting hope that will never see fruition in reality.

Nah brah. I absolutely hate your guts. While your stupid shenanigans are slightly amusing, the shit you pull and the help you refuse makes me want to punch you in the face. Hard.

That said, it would be interesting to meet you just to see how much of a pussy you are in real life. Online confidence does not equal real confidence.

if everything is as you say, get a hooker or bang a ugly bitch.
Find someone who is lower standard than all the girls who rejected you, so that it's still acceptable.
If reality isn't as you say, just banging someone might help anyway for confidence.

That's exactly what I'm wondering. I'm willing to be the ATOT experimenter and meet him in person. I'm female too, so if there's serious gender-related awkwardness, it'd show up loud and clear.

Anyone have a video camera they want to loan me?

honestly, OP, the simply fact that you opened a thread about this proves ATOT's general opinion regarding your, uh, issues.

Because I refuse to have sex with really ugly women? I can understand the virgin adjective for that then... but pathetic and lazy, no... if anything I would be pathetic and lazy for having with with ugly women. I am outrageously overactive considering my stature and activity levels when it comes to approaching attractive ladies.

I guess that's acceptable to me.

it appears that your concept of ugly/attractive is completely fucked. You probably watch too much RL porn and asian animated tentacle rape porn.

Honestly, there isn't anything physical about you that fails to attract nice looking womens.

It's your personality, which is a complete disaster.

I think you lack confidence b/c you want to lack confidence.
