True, it is very unpleasant to be around people who are negative like that. And I think I speak for all girls, except maybe emo goths, that negativity isn't attractive.
Sounds like you are cursed with 'to much nice guy' syndrome that many men have. Nice guys don't get dates, they get trails to follow. You need to do something to have girls follow your tail, so figure it out. You lost some weight, shaved, got some strength, started eating right, these are all great things you should be proud of. Now its time to put on the gloves and jump in the ring to show what your made of.
I've never understood the games people play during the "courting" process. I wouldn't say they're exclusive to women, men do it just as much. There are plenty of people who realize how futile it is to get caught up in these games and they're transparent about their intentions and honest with their feelings. I think it's a sad excuse to say "well, they're trying to use me, so I'll use them back". If I realize someone is trying to use them, I immediately end all associations with this person, because why waste my time? I think there's a difference between being nice and expecting something back (that's not nice at all) and being open and forward as to why you're interested in the person while being nice. Those are two completely different things. Matt has always come across as somewhat misogynistic. I know, you hate everyone, but I think you have a reserved special kind of hatred towards women, I don't think the reason why people notice this is because we can't see when you're being facetious.
I agree with this. The more I read from him, the more it concerns me in a potential serial killer sort of way. Seriously.
People here have the impression that Matt is an only-child who has lived in Rochester his entire life. Nothing is meant by that, positive or negative. Just an impression.
He needs to leave the fucking country. He needs to get as far away from American influence for a little bit. Which is why i said he cant go to canada or europe. The dude is tired of America. More than he might realize. His posts all over the website wether logical or not, he is clearly tired of the bullshit here. He needs a break from everything he knows. He needs to go to the fucking jungle in Venezuela South America and hike to the tallest waterfall in the world. Or go to fucking Africa and climb the mountains on the eastern side. Travel to the country side of Japan. Live with a family in Peru for 3 months and teach them english then go get a place and live for a month. Then go somewhere else. GET OUUUUUUUUUUUUT
This is probably the best advice so far. If for no other reason than the subject at hand, to see how different woman are in different cultures. And everything else. Having a KFC on every corner and never too far from a Wallmart isnt really "wealth"
I unwittingly tried a little social experiment a few years ago. I was a waiter at an Italian restaurant at the time, and one of the bartenders quit and the boss was in a pickle. didn't have any bartending experience, but I lied and said I could do it. I'm generally a nice guy, but learned the patrons would walk all over you if you let them. When I got to the point I could mix drinks while having a conversation my personality started to change into more of a douche one. I started getting more tips and numbers on napkins. I wondered how far I could take it and I'd read the sports column in the news paper that morning and regurgitate it out later that night making it look like I was a sports nut (I hate sports) Before long I was able to read both men and women and tell them exactly what they wanted to hear. I definetly got more numbers from women while in jerk mode. I was astounded. I'd never call the numbers and stood up many a house or hotel invitation. I started to change though and I would stay out all night putting on this persona I wasn't. It got to the point I said "Fuck it" quit my job and ironically came back here to go back to my roots. I've patched things up with Carolyn, but son of a bitch I was jerk.
you choose to be nice to really hot people. of course they take advantage. you're 32 and NOW you're aware of this bitter world? I have not a big idea but good luck. Even ugly women grow tired of being played.
This raises what I was going to say - if someone cannot be comfortable being their true self in a relationship then there is little point. A guy who has a nice mix of alpha and beta is a good catch imho - it's not about being a persistent jerk or always being too nice, it's about knowing when to be alpha and when to throw some beta in. A good bad boy....a man who has confidence and can take control when needed, together with a man who can show his tender side when needed. Confidence is the key, not how much of a jerk a guy can be.
I can beat any computer at chess. Not because I'm a grandmaster at chess, (Or the klan :biggrin But because at the point when the computer starts winning, I can unplug it. My point is, sometimes the only way to win is not to play. Also, tone down that conspiracy, stuff or else she'll think you're retarded.
