Hey guys (and gals),
First I would like to ask that my amazing posts stopped getting flagged as there is no reason for them to be flagged at all. If this due to jealousy (ladies) or fear of some dude who isn't you getting me (dudes) I totally understand, I'm pretty rad. Chicks, email me and I will show you how to make an ad with no regard for grammar or decency that will get you major boner points. Dudes, there's only one of me to go around so be the lankiest, nerdiest, awesome dude you can be and maybe you'll win! YEAH!
It takes a long time to write these pieces of gold you guys, show some love, please? What if my true love is out there reading Craigslist inbetween his Alan Moore binges and misses me because you flagged? How does that make you feel?
I am twenty. I like bike rides, unicorns, comic books, robot chicken, sifl and olly, lightning bolt, lightnin' hopkins, kung fu, thai food, Foucault, Tom/Tim Robbins, hand holding, and people with accents.
You should be a guy who is older than twenty or at least more mature then twenty. You should also be lanky. You should like comics, animals that are too cute, science, space, high fives, liberalism, silliness, dares, curling(the sport), and smiles. Adorable facial features are always appreciated. If you're often mistaken for a giraffe due to your height and slenderness ... I love you.
I am not going to school but I am doing progressive things such as being involved in my community and communities beyond this one. I am heavier then I'd like to be but I wouldn't go as far as to say, 'chubby' .. OK .. my stomach is chubby but, it has been that way since I was six. I am recovering from being fat, it is a long process with a lot of sugar relapses and crying. I love working out though and get pumped about the gym, every day. I burn a lot of calories playing either Calvinball or Thunderball every evening.
My face is cute .. amazingly pretty I've been told but, my skin breaks out sometimes from stress.
I'm looking for the random weird, kind of mean dude that I will woo with my charms and cursing. I am also very shy so, be prepared to deal with that. I will always smile though and will also always encourage you. I won't kiss you first. I won't key your car, ever. I will not cling, bug, or berate. I will forget to call you back. I will try to get you to teach me how to play Blood Bowl or Cities and Knights of Catan better because I suck! You could also learn with me, that would be fun. If you ask me to wish you luck I will and I'll mean it.
I have pictures upon request.
None of my vagina though, sorry."
This one turned out to be from a guy (admits so at the end....) - that explains my luck with women. I can't make or keep eye contact.
What should a guy do when he is standing right next to a woman and he locks eyes with her?
Let's talk about eye contact and what to do after you've made it.
Here's the deal; there are a few things that are dead giveaways to a woman that you're a big-time wuss and are not worth her time.
Some of them are:
You can't maintain eye contact.
You have a slumped, submissive posture.
You fidget nervously.
You look for attention and approval from others.
You give away your power.
Of course, there are quite a few more examples of these little things women look for to make quick decisions about what kind of man you are and instantly know whether or not you are worthy of a second thought.
Now, as you've heard me say a million times, these "decisions" all happen on an unconscious level. Women don't look at a man and then say to a friend, "Well, he maintained eye contact when I first looked at him, then he held his head up high in a dominant posture, so I'm going to give him a chance."
It doesn't happen like that. No way.
Women get an instant feeling. They use these little body language cues to instantly size you up, and then respond instantly.
Now, you're asking about a particular facet of eye contact, specifically when you're standing one foot away from her and it happens.
Your question leads me to believe that you think things must be different if you're close to a woman, as if the rules should change if she's closer than 4.35234 feet. If anything, it takes more composure and inner strength to look a woman in the eyes if she's standing right next to you.
In this case it's even more important to not look away. But what should you say?
Try saying something like, "I just couldn't help noticing you [pause] staring at me."
That's funny.
Or say, "Do you always maintain such strong eye contact? Or only with guys like me that you can't help it with?"
Try anything. You're in the right place. I mean, you don't even have to expend the energy to walk over and start a conversation.
Even "hi" is better than walking away.
Once you get over your remaining fear of the unknown, and realize that you're in control of your life and your results, you'll begin to realize that situations like these are great opportunities.
I honestly believe that fear of the unknown is one of the biggest obstacles that guys face with women.
It may sound silly, but most guys who are afraid to approach women really don't know exactly what they're afraid of. All they know is that they have an instant fear that arises whenever they think of walking up to a woman they don't know, and talking to her.
Of course, "fear of the unknown" sounds like an easy thing to fix. I mean, once you realize that you don't even know what you're afraid of, it should go away, right?
Sounds good, but it's wrong .
The fact is that this is a complex problem. I've met guys who have gone to therapy for years to get over their fears, and it didn't work.
Now, I'm not a therapist or a psychologist, but I do know one thing: I used to have this very same fear. I know exactly what it feels like.
But the really weird part is what helped me get over it: It wasn't anything that I expected.
What helped me get over this and helped me to start approaching women and get e-mail and numbers from women I didn't know, was simply understanding what was going on, and then knowing exactly what to do in each situation.
The problem that I had in the past was that I just didn't "get it" with women. I didn't understand what made them feel attraction for one guy while feeling nothing or even wanting to run away from another guy.
Now that I do "get it," I have to say that it's pretty damn interesting. But it's not at all what I would have expected.
In fact, it took me a couple of years of trying to figure it out to actually begin to really understand how and why women feel that instant and magical attraction response for some guys, while most guys go their whole lives without women even noticing them.
But once I did get it, everything changed. -ThePlayer.

oooooooooooo-kay.
And now for our final bit of weirdness:
"
Love is...
"What a delicate thing love is. You put yourself out there, so vulnerable to being cut down or made broken hearted. And when something wonderful happens_it's like winning the lottery, or having bet on the lucky horse. A sweet surprise-- uncalled for, and unexpected-- reciprocation of affection, and understanding. And then comes the glow of success_a risk has been taken, and your gamble made something of itself. That risk, and the afterglow of success in love is what I live for. The first dimpled blush, the parting of swollen ruby lips, the tender touch and embrace of bodies bending in to oneanother, warm fingers entwined like they were made to never come apart, the caress of a face with locks carefully tucked behind ears, the eyes' twinkling connection, the smile of reassurance that you are chosen. Oh to be loved. It becomes insignificant until it is lost. But then again, better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all, right? For sometimes you love, you learn, and then you move on."
I borrowed this rather lovely but painfully honest examination of love from a very good and beautiful friend of mine whom I dearly cherish.
She is an eternal optimist...the quintessential hopeless romantic and I for one find inspiration in the power of love. It's rather interesting since it seems like we are all on here looking for it when in reality, love chooses us...and we are beyond powerless the instant we become touched by its intoxicating, maddening, and deep embrace.
Ciao bellas :o)"
Okay, um, I read that and STILL know dick all about you.
And this one is totally and utterly setting herself up for disappointment, unless of course, the guy shows up on his unicorn.
Hello Guys....You come in all shapes, sizes, different wants and desires. Yet I am searching for the one who even though they may be a square peg they fit in my round space in life. I am not looking for a fling, I am not looking for a friend, I am not looking for a once in a while relationship. I am looking for that special man who has the same wants, needs and desires i have for life and in a relationship.
Though most of us are doing just fine in life being by ourselves, no one can make me beleive that life wouldnt be better with a special person in it. I want to get off work ( teacher) and get home to cook for my man, relax by a fire and snuggle and watch our favorite show. I want to awake , make our favorite hot drink of the morning and watch the sunrise. I want to listen to my man's idea's, dreams and desired adventures in life and let him know I care about what he thinks and wants.
I want to meet a man who still believes in love, passion, romance and desires a relationship built on trust, honesty, devotion and love. SOMEONE WHO WILL WANTS TO FILL IN THE BLANKS OF HIS ALMOST COMPLETED LIFE> DO YOU EXIST< IF SO AND YOU FIND ME SOMEONE SPECIAL I PROMISE TO GIVE YOU THE BEST OF ME!
