There's a website which made many people do that and I don't remember it making them very happy...

What makes you think you'll be successful as gay when you're rejected by every women you approach? :confused:

Honestly man, think this out. It's a common misconception to think turning gay will ultimately solve this problem...that gay guys and lesbians are wild sexual creatures who only live to screw other gays and lesbians. Not true. Now, I'm not gay, nor have I ever thought of being so, but it's crazy to think that if you were to turn gay, men would be all over you. The problems you are encountering with women will only follow you so what you need, it seems, is counselling or a serious talk with someone you really trust to figure out what exactly is going wrong.

Sit back and think to yourself:

What makes me me?
What are the best qualities about me?
What are things I really need to work on?
What have been the problems with my past relationships?
Are my standards too high?
What exactly am I looking for in a women?

Things to help get chicks would include:

Be yourself. Don't try to impress, but don't be a prick. Girls like nice guys who aren't faking anything, including being nice.
Make them laugh. Women absolutely love a funny guy, but don't force it and watch what you joke about. Racial/blonde/dead baby jokes just may not be her thing.
Treat them better than you would yourself, and truly fall in love with her, not her looks or ass, which will both inevitably go south with age.
See them for who they really are and don't force the relationship. You can love someone and they still might not be "the one."

There are plenty of girls/women out there. If one, two, or even ten don't work out, they simply weren't meant to be. Nothing more, nothing less.

I haven't gotten to a 2nd date with a girl in about 3 years. I can't find hapiness with girls, the hapiness I desire. I guess I have to look in a guy's butthole for hapiness now :(

wow. can you be anymore desperate sounding? holy $h1t man. get a fvckin' grip.

think girls hate you? imagine having to worry that two guys might kick your ass, tie you to a fence, and leave you to die because you misread a signal.

You are born gay. I can not choose that path.

Anyway, I live an asexual lifestyle. Don't talk to single women so you the OP are not alone.

Man, this is a hilarious conversation...

And yes, you are born gay and with that kind of mentality. But could someone explain Lance Bass and him "coming out of the closet"? I didn't really read much about that story. Only knew the turned out gay. But what happened in the beginning?

As others have said you can't decide to become gay. If the idea is appealing at all, that is you think you could be turned on by a gay man then perhaps you always have been gay, and hence your woman problems. If however you are not at all sexually turned on by men then "going gay" isn't going to fix anything, it will only make things worse as you will only take your relationship problems with you to gay relationships.

Do you watch pr0n for the guys involved?
Do you like the taste of salt?
Do you really want another man to SIIYP?

If so fine, gofer it.

I don't think you can 'go gay', but you can sure as hell try to convince yourself you're anything you want.

Do we get to find out anymore about you? How old, what you do etc?

Say you 'went gay', you were out with your sugar daddy, and then suddenly, some hot girl asked you to come back to hers for 'coffee', would you stand by your man?

That debate is far from settled. Genetics may well play a factor, but it's not nearly as simple as that. To a certain extent, it is a choice. It's just such a low-level choice that most people don't even realize when or how they made it.

Interesting how the same determinists who claim that sexual orientation is 100% genetic tend to also believe that gender roles are purely societal, not innate.

HAhahaha:

I had one girlfriend for 3 motnhs when I was 20. Then when i was 26 mabe, I dated a girl for about 2 months.

Then later at around 26, I met my wife. Now I'm 30 and have a baby with a second on the way.

In my case, I think I just wasn't mighting the right girls. I spent alot of time at bars, etc. Well, I have a brain and bar chicks just wern't for me I guess. I met a teacher via match.com and it worked out great.

So .... what exactly is your story?

Oh, and no ... I never thought about it once. I love chicks!

Ding ding ding.

I have a friend who is about 5 years older then I am (making him 34). I've known him for almost ten years. He's a very nice guy... almost too nice. He's an average looking Asian guy and successful. However, his standards for women are THROUGH THE ROOF. Here are his requirements:

5'6 - 5'8
105lbs - 110lbs
Long blond hair
Blue eyes
...
...
Etc.

His standards are RIDICULOUS. Basically he's looking for Gwenyth Paltrow (though I don't know why). The man hasn't had ONE. SINGLE. DATE. since I met him.

SHOCKING!!!

Some guys just have their heads so far up their asses when it comes to their standards for women. Anything less than Heidi Klum is "settling". Get the fsck over yourselves you twits.

I'm not saying this is the OP's case, but it's pretty common.

im almost the opposite and it still not good (grass is always greener....... but it still needs mowing)

i get plenty of attention off the girls, which explains why ive been in many relationships with lots of girls...but the girl im with now is the one :) no more playin

but not only that...... i get plenty of attention off the boys too! im definately not gay, but i thought gay people had a kinda 6th sense about another bloke, like they could tell if he was gay or not. i've got one guy, who is a friend, who still trys to chat me up now! though im sure he now does it to take the piss, but there was once a time when tried it on for real
the latter is very annoying indeed. nearly every gay person ive met has shown a strong liking to me!!! makes me think im doing something wrong! or im acting camp or something

i find chicks dig a slight geekiness, knowing a little more than normal about computers being interested in cars, motorsport and engineering seems to impress the girls i meet. though maybe thats what i get for going to a engineering uni.

i think it is true, girls go from liking the jocks and the dim wits and the bad boys, to the quieter guys who arent macho and in yo face and do complicated degrees like maths, engineering etc

Seriously guys, I'm glad it has come to this. Now we can really analyze just wtf ATOT is made of. I hope this opens some eyes.

Oh and by all means, YAGT is really FTL. You guys have apparently been asking for girl advice from individuals with very little resource to back their replies. I think all "omg my gf hates me becuase I can't make decisions on my own what should I do?.." threads and the like should be autobanned.

Stop getting advice from a forum and start talking to real life people. Parents are a good start, then move down the ladder from there. Hopefully ATOT will be at the bottom of your list and not so high as some of you keep it.
