[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 2729073, member: 6390"] Yeah, I think I remember being called "The drunken emotionally abusive uncle nobody really wants in the family, but has." I don't mind someone asking for help, hell, I'll be one of the first to help you and listen to your problems (There goes my internet badass membership, I'll have to turn in my all caps keyboard and my lexicon) but I cannot abide someone who just sits around snivellling and whining and won't even try to help him/herself and expects all the work to be done for them. I swear to all the Nine Gods of Entropy, I cannot STAND self-pitying drama queens who just want to throw themselves into the pity pig pen and wallow around in it. If you want to tell me about your problems, FINE! But living your life in a constant pity party is about attractive in a friend as them bathing in a cesspool. Everyone throws themselves a pity party now and then. Even I do, but what annoys me is the people who sit there saying "I can't!" and excusing it with whatever medical diagnosis. Guess what, I see mentally handicapped people all the time leading good healthy lives. I know plenty of physcially disabled people who have full, happy lives. People who want to lay on the cross like some kind of modern day Pity-Me Christ really annoy me. Now if this guy wants help, I'll help him. If I lived nearby, I'd probably even take him out for beers and to the mall. -------------------------------------- Now, back to him. That's enough about me to make a dog retch... -------------------------------------- I noticed, you are falling into the Cynical Lonely Guy Trap (CR 15) that many people do. You're automatically writing people off as "bitches" or "skanky ho's" just because they don't flock over to you. Cruising for a date is more than sitting in the corner of the bar plugging money into the jukebox and staring at your drink. I saw those guys all the time in the bar, and not ONCE did I ever see them go home with ANYONE, not even the local barfly. Look around. Make eye contact with people. Go play DARTS OR POOL OR SOMETHING! That's just it. By sitting in the same place, you are advertising you: A) Want to be left alone B) ARe a loser C) Have severe problems D) Are waiting for someone E) Are possibly that murderer they've heard about F) Are a vampire. Go play darts. I've met women that I introduced to the back seat of my car for some comparisons on body temperature at the dart board. Women love darts for some reason. Go play pool. You'll have more competition, but then you can strike up conversations like: "How did you make that shot?" When not shooting (for God's sake, do NOT talk during a shot or stand in direct line of vision) pool players LOVE to talk. Stay away from ANY game where you can do it solo. The tempatation will be great, grasshopper, for you to remain solo. Women watch, and if you can't socially interact with another guy, they know you won't be going out places and taking them making J00 == L053R! And like everyone here has said, don't worry if she's a skank. And while you're at it, delete that from your lexicon. Get rid of slut, whore, ho, and all the other stuff. You're asking a woman to share a part of her body and are mentally calling her names? <rolling up newspaper> NO! *whap* BAD GRASSHOPPER! NO! *whap* Unless she asks you for money, treat her nicely and with respect, even in your own mind. Repeat after me... The women who want to share themselves with me, be it necking in the back of the bar or full throw down flesh pressing, are friendly. Maybe over friendly, but friendly. They are nice to me, and I should be nice to them. Oh, and on that topic... The first time she so much as mumbles stop, slow down, or no, stand up, step back, button up, and sit at least 10 feet away. Believe me, you'll be a lot better off. [/QUOTE]
