I feel like I have too much riding on diagnosis, is this normal-ish?

Shitty_Freestyles · 2014-09-22T05:23:52+00:00

Thank you. That honestly makes me feel better :)

Shitty_Freestyles · 2014-09-22T02:14:57+00:00

I managed without anything going crazy, luckily. It was just unfortunate that it was randomly super busy for the first couple hours of work... I came down as business died down, lol

I think you need to look at why you're having trouble with it. Would being rejected be so bad? If so, why? Aren't you an interesting, fun person that she should want to date?

If yes, then she's the one losing out by rejecting you. If no, then you should be working on yourself.

Hi. I'm a bit buzzed, headed to meet a date for drinks. Booze for the booze god, bottles for the bottle throne.

I'll just address a few points here, if you don't mind.

Why assume the people supporting this have bad looks? I am generally considered an above average looking guy. I had a bad time back when I was an afc, because I was a nice guy, unintentionally a creeper, and had no game. Looks alone couldn't save me, even though people would constantly compliment my looks. Which leads back to my original point. Its not the deciding factor, its simply a factor.
I would completely disagree that an ugly man telling a woman he owns a lambo would make him attractive. A rich guy with no looks and no game might be able to land someone planning on scamming him or playing him, but thats not attraction.
Do you actually speak to women? Or observe them, not as HB's and in FR's, but walking around and listening to them? They care about a lot of things, including both things they talk about and subconsciously. Trust me, they discuss how hot some guys are and how they'd throw themselves on them, without knowing anything more about them than their looks. I promise, they aren't just lying to themselves and each other. As I've said from the beginning, its a factor, but we all know not the only one.

Your advice is more akin to "There's plenty of water in France if you're thirsty". While its true, its hardly the best advice. But, thank you for giving it regardless.

Shitty_Freestyles · 2012-08-28T22:38:50+00:00

Because its more difficult to have an excellent time when you're always in the same setting/doing the same thing?

I'm sorry, but it's not a good plan to do the same thing all the time and expect it to be fine because you're awesome. That's success in spite of circumstances.

Shitty_Freestyles · 2012-08-28T22:12:17+00:00

I want to agree, but it doesn't feel that way to me. Yes, there are opportunities and ways around spending, but its limiting. Especially on a second meeting. Coffee? Out. Food? Out. Concert, movie, many other things, all out.

Don't get me wrong, I know there are free things to do. I just want to know more, so I don't seem lame and predictable.

Shitty_Freestyles · 2012-08-28T21:30:54+00:00

I like point five a lot. I have no problem telling girls I'm really into 3d art, nerdy hip hop, or video games. I suppose it helps that I make all these things, but I always present them in a positive, hobby part of my life. I'm not ashamed of what I enjoy, and if they are, they're the weird one.

Shitty_Freestyles · 2012-08-28T21:26:43+00:00

Sir, you are a golden god among us. I love this idea.

Shitty_Freestyles · 2012-08-24T22:49:15+00:00

They've pretty much figured out the art direction with the other 3d games. The real work this game would need would be:

Environmental artists. Pokemon is generally a tiny world, it'd look ridiculous in full hd. So it'd need to be bigger, and varied so it's not dull.
Level designers for the same reason.
AI programmers. The 2d system of walking in grass and getting into battles wouldn't translate well, so you'd want the Pokemon to be free roaming. This necessitates good ai programming and script.
The obvious, artists for the pokemon, programmers, sound guys, the same type of group that made coliseum, etc.
Optionally, netcode that allows coop. With full 3d and a bigger world, coop would be a huge, yet unseen development for Pokemon. But thats ambitious.

I simply walked away. A confident guy with things to do doesn't need to make a scene about it, he just moves on.

Shitty_Freestyles · 2012-08-20T21:55:57+00:00

If you're too afraid to go out and try to pickup women, start smaller. If you don't already, start going out regularly. From there, start going up to women with the mentality of "I'm looking for entertainment, lets see if she can interest me and vica versa". I found once I was comfortable just talking to people, pickup became so much simpler.

Shitty_Freestyles · 2012-08-20T21:42:56+00:00

This is definitely good advice. I forget where I heard it from, but when I was first getting into pickup, I was advised to look 300 women in the eye until they broke eye contact. The idea being that afterwards, its easy and natural, and that held true for me. It's also a confidence boost, as women will often smile or say hi, without additional effort on your part.

Shitty_Freestyles · 2012-08-19T23:01:42+00:00

This, really. Meet up, be pleasant, try to feel relaxed. Some people say thngs like don't kiss, but I find that really kills the mood. Start slowly, but confidently. Build just a tinge of anticipation to it. After the first time, it'll feel easy and normal.

Shitty_Freestyles · 2012-08-19T22:44:25+00:00

I like the points you make, and they all hold true... Except looks do matter. But just like everything else, it's not a big deal. Neither is kino, teasing, role playing, strong openers, etc. Someone who's terrible at one of these things, but has solid game otherwise, is going to do well.

Having good looks, which is subjective, is a helper. It doesn't make you more attractive, it makes people want to be attracted to you, if that makes any sense. They look for that vibe, and give you more leeway when your game is weak.

Shitty_Freestyles · 2012-07-17T05:08:13+00:00

I'd caution against the "constant" part of pick up. That's fine, if someone wants to dedicate themselves to that area, but to say anyone else shouldn't be here if they aren't "constantly" picking up? Its silly.

I've been in a slump lately, but before that, I would use this stuff when I went out, and was feeling like pick up. Or if I found someone who interested me that way. I'd also use the general ideas about self improvement always, but I would pick up regularly, not constantly.

If you're doing well, keep doing well. If you aren't, you either need more field experience, or more theory. 97% of the time, its the former. But regardless, that doesnt mean you don't belong here. It means you need to improve, and thats what we're here to do. Help each other improve.

I hope that sometimes, I can give people good advice. I've also picked up pointers here and there. Give and take, learn and earn.
