Totally agree with that. My order was wrong! However, you kinda prove my point that the looks get you to stage 1, allowing you to find out if it'll go further. The more stage 1s you can get to (i.e. breaking the ice and getting to the spending time together stage), the more likely you'll find the right girl.

If you've got a cracking personality, eventually you'll find yourself working with/at school with/spending time with someone who you click with and you hit it off. Great. But if you're good looking and buff, you'll get the chance to spend time with many more girls and have a much better chance of finding the right one.

Sad but true!

Yes, but you cán get yourself stage 1s if you just go for it, or have a friendly, caring and humorous reputation . You just need to be aware of what you have instead of looks, if you don't have the looks.

tha_rami, you're a Goddess! Dude, I'm so trying those pick up lines tonight, just for a laugh - Not the best way to pick up girls, I'll let you know tomorrow if any of them work. (I'll avoid posting tonight, I was incredibly random last time I posted drunk)...I mean can't be any worse than my flatmates drunk...One (young'ns not for you, sorry)



And the other guy was shouting 'phwaaar' and grunting out of the window...surprised neither weren't done for harassment. I had to move the one guy from the Window and stand in his place.

Ok, this is ridicules.

Have any of you deniers ever watched a girl(s) look through a fashion magazine? No seriously. They will obsess over the 6 packs, chiseled shoulders, chest, biceps, everything. So how on earth can someone actually say there is no kind of "standard" for attractive, when there is actual field evidence to prove it?

Quote: "Thats total nonsense. I'm nowhere near 'handsome', yet I got the girl. I never watched my physique and I'm well known for not really doing my hair in the morning."


This is that part where I become the [male genital]:

"Pix of u and ur girl plz lol"

Not trying to put you down, but anyone can say whatever they want over the internet. I have met people who are unattractive, but have a certain charm to them. Since I don't know you in person, I can't tell. So you have no looks and you don't care about the condition of your body...in that case, the "girl" you got is probably right in your league.

That's true, but are we all interested in airheads? No, not all of us.

Ripped abs? Why would a girl drool over any kind of injury?... Basically the problem here is that you only know of one type of girl, whereas across the various cultures and nationalities there are many different kinds of girls. The ones that buy fashion magazines generally are airheads, there's no denying that. Of course that's just my opinion, and you might not think that.

At the end of the day, we aren't interested in the same kind of girl.

I don't know what girls you see, but honestly, that is total nonsense. I've been growing up with girls a lot, simply because of my physique and stuff I never really fit with most lads, and most girls I know were obsessed with that kind of stuff when they were 9 or 10 years old, then fell in love with either Johnny Depp (yeah, particularly muscular type, really) or Orlando Bloom (cutey face!), finally they stop doing that, around the age of 18, and fall in love with whoever crosses their path and is friendly, loving, caring, confident and nice. Popular can help with certain types, though.

Nothing to do with abs, chest, biceps or crap. And if the reputation of the guy in such a glossy, magazine or whatever sexist crap they feed young girls nowaday, is he's an *sshole, or unfriendly, or not caring - they'll look at him, huff and say 'pff, loser'.

You, on the contrary, seem never to have spoken or understood girls in the slightest. Ask any girl that's not looking for one-night-stands what they want in a man, and they'll say friendly and caring first. Looks come third, or even fourth. The usual list goes along: friendly, caring, can make me laugh, romantic and good looking. Good looking, then, besides a minor point, is also personal. Most girls that say 'a hottie' end up as 'sluts', cheating from one to the next, sleeping with whomever offers first. Of course, that is 'most'.

Luckily, yes, she is perfectly in my league. Modest, friendly, caring and her looks aren't bad at all neither. Fits quite well with a loving, friendly and caring boyfriend. Doesn't seem anything near your league, based solely upon your forum postings - your 'league' would be, I'm sorry to say it, a derogatory *ss in this case.

And shortsighted, by the way. How is a girl in a league? You love a girl or not. Screw leagues. Screw it all. It's nothing about leagues. Love ain't a sport for me. There are no points. There is no league. You're happy with the one your with, that's all that counts.

If you want a picture, there was a topic in which we posted pictures of ourselves a while back. Me and my girlfriend are in that topic. Mind you, I did do my hair that day.

At least Ben's making sense. There are so many different types, not every one's after the same thing. Believe me, I know girls who do not date the athletes at my school and like other qualities.

Does that mean muscles aren't attractive? No, it doesn't. Does it mean every girl wants them? No again.

One of my best friends is heavyset, by quite a bit, (but not disgustingly fat), in fact, his weight suits him well.

Anyways, the ladies all dig him, and I'm talking about good looking girls, not what you would call fat chicks. I'm still trying to figure out how he does it though

Well, I do know, he's got an awesome personality

Don't know if that's a compliment or a dig, but I'll take that as a compliment

--------------------

While we're on the subject--- young women like guys who have a good body shape and nice clothes second. I've read many times that a woman looks at a guy's shoes second--- if that means anything.

That being said, when you get up there in the years--- late 20s and on--- women go for a guy with security, who can protect them financially, with sturdy jobs. People who aren't the hunkiest guy in town, with a good paying job and a nice personality will be able to find a good trophy wife. Women tend to not care so much about having a beefy dude wrapped around her finger, because their biological clock is ticking and they have a need for safety and security. Don't quote me on this, but this is what I know from what I've read and witnessed in real life.

But following on from what Jeku said, that does mean you're royally screwed if you're chasing a woman at work. Since she has a similar job to you, you ain't impressing nobody!! For example, I work for a world renowned software company, and drive a posh car. In the pub, when I talk to some of my female acquaintances who are still working in the local shop, or supermarket, when they find out they do warm to you a lot. It's not so much gold digging, but they see someone who appears successful and like Jeku said, they see security and someone who can provide. However, at work, take women who are less attractive, and they couldn't give a crap, because they've already got all those things and are surrounded by equally successful people - hence, looks and physique suddenly become important again!

So if you want your trophy wife as Jeku puts it, you need to be successful, aim for good looking women in crappy jobs, and you'll be getting it on like donkey kong.

Dude, your car is awesome and everything, and I normally hang around with a few birds who are into cars, but it isn't so much a bint magnet really. Was the same with my old one. Main compliments came from kids and young blokes that have shopping trolleys with huge spoilers. My old Ford Puma had more skirt appreciating it.

Personally, if I'd have hung around long enough I would have probably got a 911. Say what you want about it, but that's a car that would be better for that sort of thing Oh, and the Supra I almost bought once. God, women love those cars. Or at least they used to.

Of course it is kind of strange when a woman has a better car (that you want) than you do. Kind of weird for me. Think I can live with it though

There was nobody I could do it to... But I will do it one day, when the time is right...

Mind if I butt in to the argument? If you don't know the girl, then she may be interested in a good looker in order to get started, yes...but not always the case. I get to know plenty of girls pretty easily - okay they may not be interested in me - but not all girls are looking for a boyfriend immediately when they talk to you, through that they may find you more interesting. Okay it may sound loser-ish - but that's how I see some relationships start and later work - I know some downright ugly people who fell in love this way. Remember not all relationships start with a physical attraction and a bit of flirting. Again physical attractions do help get a girlfriend - but some people have different ways of meeting people and certain types of girls don't like to meet guys in the "corr he's hot" sort of way, I know plenty of girls that don't approach good looking men, (As good looking can sometimes carry the message of vanity - well if they're not naturally good looking that is) but later date friends they know.

Dude, you want to get her on her own really. Probably why she laughed a lot. If just you two I'm sure either everything would have been ok, or she would have been nicer in saying no.

Quote: "i carnt be sure cuz she was laffin too much"
Should have given her a pad and pencil Heh, sorry...

Quote: "eventually i managed to speak few wordas of will you go out with me"
Yeah, see I wouldn't have gone straight out with that. I've had girlfriends who I didn't ask out properly for months and basically weedled my way in there (being nice and listening a *lot* kind of helps). Helps when you are not in school though as there are loads of opportunities to go out with groups and get close to them.

Anyways, kudos for actually asking her out. Better than nothing even if nowt happens. Now go ask the fugly chick out so you can get a barometer to judge which level you should ask out

Shame you are not older for a beer or two now. Totally helps. If you are 18 come quickly to the UK and then have a beer. Failing that (say about 14) then just avoid the cops

No. Well, don't ask everyone to leave. Would make it worse. If you can catch her on her own without looking like a stalker then great. But it doesn't look good. I remember school, and if she did all that for a joke with her friends then she probably wouldn't do anything different now. Popularity contests is what it's all about I'm afraid. I know because I was a right git at the time. Unless she really is the love of your life or something then I would try elsewhere. Sorry.

Quote: "or sumthin then talkk too her and then once shes relaxed enough"
Difficult after what happened. Expect to be the butt of jokes for a while I reckon. I wasn't there, so don't know, but wouldn't be too surprised.

Quote: "i then ask if she wont to go to cinema or sumthin"
Yeah, but that's asking her out again. If you really want her after what happened then you probably have to leave it a bit then try and get friendly. But I mean friendly, not boyfriendy. Talk to her about crap basically, and don't be too obvious about wanting to go out with her (bit difficult now though). Then she can notice good things about you that she didn't before. Amazing how your mind can change about someone (inc. what you think of their looks) the more time you spend with them. More importantly listen to what she is (infact shut up and just let them yap)...

God, mum just phoned me and said my great uncle died on the day of his wife's funeral... Life is too short. Talk to another bird... Damn...

If they're laughing at you, you must ask yourself the question - 'Is she right for me?' My friend asked one girl out, he was laughed at, of course he later turned into a joke (Not for that of course) and she became a better friend than him, but you know - not relevant to you.

It generally is a popularity contest - if you're not very popular, the people that care about popularity will turn you down no matter how great you are because she will get laughed at. (Even if nobody finds you funny in the negative sort of way). It's really a social ladder, I mean I got laughed at for my last 2 girlfriends (and I still do...by the girls that dislike my last one - even though that was 5 years a go...) The girl my friend asked out, she was teased - even though everybody liked my friend.

But this is no reason not to try, I mean, it's all a strange and complex thing with teenage relationships - it's a social scale that's probably more complex than what the Victorians had. (Especially in the states) You really just need to meet the right girl, get to know her and then if she feels the same way, she'll go out with you. I mean she may not know you well enough and if you're sensible, you won't go out with someone unless you know you're going to be compatible with each other. Try to make friends with girls, get to know them, make them happy, make them laugh and drop if you feel there's a relationship to be had with any, ask them out, if they feel the same way, you've got yourself a girlfriend, the unfortunate thing is, you may find some will only like you as a friend. Of course I found that on a few occasions, the one occasion I was sure about I screwed up entirely.

If you're just going up and asking girls, it's really a gamble and your confidence and looks effect your odds, and really dating/love shouldn't be like a game of blackjack.

Either that or Drew's solution, but you'll attract different types of girls that way.

Sounds to me like you are pretty young James, don't worry if you don't get a girl now. You have your whole life ahead of you, and you'll find after puberty is over you'll be a better, stronger looking guy than when you went into it (or during it o_0). I don't know your age but I'm going to assume you are around 14... Think realistically. If you are looking for a real relationship right now just remember, you'll have to hold that relationship in an unmarried sort of situation for about 6 years before you should think about getting hitched up with her. That's a long time. Don't get too worked up over a lack of girlfriends right now because though it might work out chances say it won't in the long term.

Ya, Agent Dink is right, guys in my grade get sooo worked up about getting a girlfriend even though relationships in my grade last less than a week. I'm not saying that you shouldn't go out with anyone, but don't do it just to have a girlfriend, find a girl that you really and that really likes you back, otherwise it'll just be totally meaningless and over within a week or two.

Right, I'm back after serious amounts of wine and talking to me bird (not actually in same country right now ). Feel a bit better. Surprised at how much Uncle dying effected me... Anyways...

Dude, he is like in school... These days (well in the UK at least), most of us don't think that way until much later in life than our parents etc. I was a spanner until I was about 30, and didn't think of marriage or even a really serious relationship at all. Now though (I'm 34), I'm different. Massively. But my point is school for me was nothing like that.

I seriously wouldn't get too heavy right now. Just have fun. Uni, for example, is exactly as you would imagine if you want it, and I don't regret any of it. I may not have found the love of my life there but I had one hell of a good time

Cheers

Condolences to you and your family, Dazzag. Life is indeed short. I don't know how much you value it, but I'll say a prayer for both him and his wife.

Lots and lots. Especially mine and a select few. Whats well weird is my great uncle and his wife had their daughter late in their forties, and they lied (and made the family lie) to her until about 5 years ago about how old they were (she thought 20 years younger). So she still thought they were in their early 60's until not so long ago. Thats gotta screw you up. Was always with them and has utterly destroyed her apparently. Sigh, if it wasn't for her kids the family reckon she should have a suicide watch. Very sad...

Ta. Apparently they put off the funeral of her mother (priest was with her father after all) and are going to have a joint funeral. Apparently that was what they always wanted. Just glad I saw them last year before I left for Cyprus.

Hmmm.... How did I meet my friends...
1) *name balnked out* - Met by chucking a metal train (toy, metal train) at him when I was two and half, in nursery. My best friend.

2) *name blanked out* - Met in year 4. Can't remember how... ages ago...

3) *name blanked out* - Friend of *name blanked out* (person 2). Got to be friends with her and now she's my second best friend.

4) *name blanked out* - Met by mentioning (big-headedly) about hpw much I new about atoms, and molecules, and all that crap that I'd actually read about in a book, that morning, on the way to delivering some tennis rackets to the gym cupboard, getting some facts seriously wrong, someone in the year above me pointed them out. I got talking to him,mentioned computers (can't remember how) and he said that he new Logo, that weird programming langauge. I said I knew DrakBASIC, he said 'What's that?', and I proceeded to explain. We met up the next day in the playground, and I explained a little more about DBC, and, gradually, throughout the year, I taught him the entire (well, most of it) language. Then he bought it, and etc. Then he left school the year before me DONT TRY TO MAKE A FRIEND THIS WAY. NO, SERIOUSLY, DONT.

5) *name blanked out* - Met at nursery.
6) "___________________________________
7) And the list goes on...

Eh? Friends come and go, I spose you'll get used to it. Then again, having friends since nursery, maybe you don't.

I don't have any friends left that I hang out with from even high school, and I only graduated a few years ago

This thread seems a bit daft, I've not had a girlfriend for 19 years... I'm not exactly going to go and make a thread about it though.

Couldn't have said it better myself, you do sound pretty young and you need to focus on your grades right now. I know that sounds dorky but consider this, your 'ol pal Zombie here got up on the social ladder but I still maintained a good grade, anywhere from High C's to A's, it was nice to be known but when those 'populars' are out working at the local quickstop two years after high school and you're in college surrouned by beautiful girls and you're own following, who's going to be laughing James? Of course, being popular has its perks just like being a politican does *sorry couldn't resist* but just be yourself, you'll be noticed in time I promise you that mate.

Generally I'd avoid Zombie's mistake...

He thought as a young mortal 'hey I have my whole life ahead of me' then came the fateful day when Barbara Streisand bit him on the neck and he became one of the undead...still he thought 'I am immortal I have my after-life ahead of me' but realised...chicks don't dig rotting flesh...

Night after night Zombie tried to convert girls into Zombies in the old bite to the neck fashioned, but each time they pepper spray him and put a restraining order for sexual harassment...Not even Chavs wanted Zombie...not because he's horrid, as Chavs are Zombies, but they're in self denial and try to make themselves off as living human beings...and therefore a big scum that Zombie should not associate with as he'll only be bullied for being a Zombie.

'But one day' Zombie thinks to himself, 'One day I'll meet a Zombie girl and I won't force one upon me...One day a beautiful half rotten corpse will catch my eye...she will not be a chav, she will not be Barbara Streisand, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears or other undead pop stars...but perfect.' He wished how in the days he was a young mortal that he had met women and knew how to interact with them and to enjoy his manhood and prepare for the day he would meet his trues undead love. He kept himself active in the community and the outside world, joined Zombie clubs where he's often eat many young innocent people - he even helped a Zombie or two feel better about themselves in a Zombie orphanage

And then he met Grandma...


Yeah sorry, insanity, but pay more close attention to that story, as I was writing it I thought I make it relevant so that you might learn and pick out a secret message I just put in...


Then they had six kids, 12 divorces and they still keep coming back to each other...the question is...how did the undead have children? Well it's funny what you can do with IVF treatment these days...even the dead can have kids!
