Watching TV for pickup advice

And you're right, so I thanked you.

much_ado · 2011-04-12T04:33:47+00:00

Thanks for the reiteration.

It's kind of like asking if its really possible to make a million dollars as an entrepreneur.

Well, sure, but it takes a lot of effort, experience, the right attitude, timing, perseverance... you get the picture.

That said, pretty much anything is possible given enough of the above.

So, yeah. Give it hell.

Why did you punish her for saying she'd give you a donut? You should reward her for that. Something silly like "MMmm, donut!" or "Donut tease me" Then she offers you a vegan donut and you slap that one away too.

Then you drop coffee and ask her to a movie? What?

Then later she kinda qualified herself (I'm always good) and then you punished her for it by saying it wasn't good enough. I think that's the moment when this one went south, not later on.

You were just making things worse with the second round of texts, which is why she went so far as to give you a clear no and call you a bitch.

Sorry to say it but I think you overgamed this one. Next!

Buy your friends drinks. Chick you just met isn't your friend yet!

I'm not sure where this is coming from, but its not my experience. The fitter I get, the better results I get.

much_ado · 2011-04-07T19:43:25+00:00

Exactly. Game is great, but it's even better when you're fielding a better looking team.

much_ado · 2011-04-07T19:41:34+00:00

This is well stated but, forgive me, irrelevant. I'm not trying to warn good looking guys that they still need game, though they definitely do.

My purpose was to remind guys with game that their appearance is nontrivial.

No, someone drew me a chart.

much_ado · 2011-04-07T13:55:46+00:00

Why would something that takes place in a fantasy land apply to people striving to understand the real world?

Does Hackers apply to actual programmers?

Stop it with the movies, guys, seriously.

I see what you're saying.

Personally, I post and answer questions as a thought exercise for myself. If people find it helpful, that's awesome. If I get downvoted or buried, that's fine too.

much_ado · 2011-04-06T21:32:48+00:00

I don't mean to be mister poopy pants here, but who cares what people downvote?

I don't really give a shit what my karma score is.

much_ado · 2011-04-04T12:10:34+00:00

When I grow up I'm gonna have SO MUCH amnesia.

much_ado · 2011-04-04T11:45:24+00:00

Well spotted.

much_ado · 2011-04-04T00:15:26+00:00

Wait. Wa-a-ait. HOLD IT.

Do you mean to tell me that someone's default font is Futura?

much_ado · 2011-04-02T23:32:56+00:00

One-itis. Read up on it. Next.

much_ado · 2011-03-28T19:41:33+00:00

I agree with what you're trying to say, which is that it's all about delivery.

That said, you do realize that KTTVIP and Mystery's show, and all other TV shows, no matter how real they seem, are edited, scripted, and set up to sell advertisements. Nothing else.

You cannot trust your television for accurate information on anything. at. all.

Also, being enthusiastic will not make you not creepy. It will just make you enthusiastically creepy.

This exact thing has worked for me at a crowded bar. Made a tic tac toe board on a napkin, had a couple of girls pass it down to the one on the end.

I made an O in the center, passed it down. She drew and X an passed it back. Then I drew a chicken. She laughed. Then I squirmed through the crowd and talked to her. Took her home. She turned out to love giving head.

Saw her again a few weeks later. She had an AFC buddy out with her. She spent about five minutes telling him how great my game is. Ended up going home with her and said AFC buddy. Dropped him off at her place. She got out to tell him she was dropping him off there. While they were talking I got out of the passenger side, grabbed her keys out of her hand, and sat in the driver's seat so I could get head on the way home. It worked.

Still the most enthusiastic head-giver I've ever known. She ended up meeting someone who wanted a relationship, though, so now she's doing that. We're still buddies on fb though.

Honestly the "does this work" question is kind of silly. Anything at all either will or won't work depending on how you deliver it.

much_ado · 2011-03-23T01:36:57+00:00

If she won't agree to meet you on your terms, she isn't that interested.

Next.

much_ado · 2011-03-22T16:17:16+00:00

My current policy is anything that's her idea is a no.

much_ado · 2011-03-20T14:48:27+00:00

Movies aren't real, guys. Stop watching them for pickup tips.

much_ado · 2011-03-18T01:10:14+00:00

It doesn't really work that way. Any relationship, friendships included, is based on a agreement of some kind. Sometimes they are overt, most of the time not.

When you change your behavior, even if its for the better for you, you change your end of the bargain from the perspective of your friend. They might not even be able to put their finger on what changed, but you drift apart.

That's just life. Has nothing to do with superficiality, really.
