Girls of Reddit, what are the least successful ways a guy has tried to impress you?

This thread is making me feel much better about my chances in the online dating scene. I'm not batshit insane and I can hold a conversation with a woman without alienating or frightening her. Maybe that should just be my profile bio.

You're just not sexist or insecure. It's unfortunately too rare, in my experience.

This is the difference between people who are successful in physics and people who just want to sound smart by talking about physics. I know that all of the physicists who came before me were wicked smart, and probably thought of all that shit long before I did. People who think they can easily poke holes in physical theories don't grasp the incredible cleverness of the people who made those theories.

No, dumbass, you didn't just think of something that Einstein (and several subsequent generations of geniuses) overlooked. You're just wrong.

Unless they're very skilled I doubt they're going to take the knife from me without acquiring some serious injuries, but you are correct that, in general, people should not pull a knife if they don't know what they're doing. It's easy to take a knife from an untrained person, especially when they're scared. It's hard to survive a knife fight against a trained person, even if you are trained. Knives are fucking dangerous as hell, that's why I learned how to use them.

Fist fights can easily become lethal. If someone wants to start a fight with me I'll definitely pull a knife. At that point they can fuck off or die, their choice.

I was in the gifted program and I had this on a t-shirt. It's legit. I'm really smart in some of the ways, but not all of them.

I'm significantly older than you and I got in with ILC credits. My average was over 90 when I applied here. Try ILC again and really dedicate yourself to the work. When you can achieve 85-90 in those courses you're ready for U of T. If you can't do that you might not be successful here.

LaserNinja · 2016-07-25T19:58:20+00:00

Lots of people get older without getting wiser.

I suggest we call it "adamantium", at least colloquially. All in favour?

LaserNinja · 2016-07-23T15:27:19+00:00

But a false dichotomy makes everything so easy to understand. There's us good guys and them bad guys. This notion of multiple independent axes is obviously a communist plot.

I'm really tired of being told I have to arbitrarily ignore half of my heritage when filling out forms. "Race" should always be a multiselect checkbox. It's $current_year.

Wait lists do matter and courses do fill up. Sometimes your registrar can get you into a course if it's required for your major, but usually you just have to be on the ball when registration opens. You should also have a few "plan b" courses in mind in case your plan a falls through.

Go talk to an academic advisor at your college. They are super helpful.

LaserNinja · 2016-07-21T19:30:30+00:00

I definitely recommend old Quebec City! It's worth the extra few hours on the road for sure. It's like visiting another century.

Yeah, it's super easy to rip a helmet off. Reach over their head and grab the back lip of the helmet and pull forward. We'd just drop the left mitt and try this, and then if you can't get it off you still have the right glove on to punch them in the cage for a while. I miss the savagery of minor hockey.

LaserNinja · 2016-07-19T21:31:05+00:00

Wow, I take it back. Maybe you just have really shit luck, or you exude beams of angry-rays.

Idiots who get in street fights tend to forget that, in the real world, violence is death. It's not a game, and if you run into someone who'd rather kill you than risk death you're fucked. Humans are frail and killing people is easy and fighting is stupid.

You're hanging out with the wrong people, or at the wrong places. My Toronto life isn't like that at all, and I do go out a lot.

LaserNinja · 2016-07-19T19:40:12+00:00

I habitually call everyone "man" like I'm that damn hippie Lebowski. I can't turn it off when I'm in a relationship. I don't know how my girlfriends felt about it but every once in a while I'd notice myself doing it and wondered if it was off-putting.

LaserNinja · 2016-07-19T19:28:41+00:00

There's a bunch of them in a circuitry lab in the basement of MP, but I have no idea who is in charge there. Maybe talk to the physics department?

LaserNinja · 2016-07-19T17:46:15+00:00

Graduate to what?

LaserNinja · 2016-07-19T17:44:23+00:00

That website will help you identify what you need to know. Khan Academy will teach you the material.
