Pelvic thrust, sure as hell worked in Fable 2 right? That's how i got my girlfriend, but, then again, that might just have been my ravishing charm, that probably had nothing to do with it...

This is psuedo-psychological crap, developed by manipulative, narcissistic men, with the specific intention of peddling it to shy, awkward, lonely single men who will try anything to get a girlfriend.
You can not reduce the complexities of human interaction, sexual attraction, and courtship into a fucking easy to follow guide. Women are not fucking automatons, this kind of attitude is insulting and demeaning and will just get you either friendzoned, or fucking laughed at.

Not that I need it, because I mastered the art of interacting with women a long time ago. You grab them, drag them into a van, blindfold and gag them, and procede to politely socialise with them until the ransom money arrives.![]()

I quite agree with you.DannyBoy451 said:To reduce and debase the intricaies of romance into a self-help tutorial is sleazy.
This isn't even help, this just tells you that women are fucking cattle that you can only court through manipulation and social engineering.
And you can not learn how to be social from a guide, you need to get out there, try your best and keep failing until you learn it first hand.
All this guide will help you with is masking your personality, and using women, which is fucking wrong.

This guide honestly sounds like it was written by someone with knowledge of social interaction only really gained from Fable 2. In Fable 2 pretty much enough of each expression allowed you to pretty much sleep with anyone. However, girls do actually have different personalities, they are just as complex, mentally, as any male. Complex social interaction cannot be simplified into a step by step guide.

OK, when you're about done with the moral high ground, you can come on back down to Earth and realize that some people need to get out in a disguise to know that they are, in fact, capable of talking to folk before they can be themselves. In order to be yourself, you need to be comfortable, and some people can't be comfortable in an unfamiliar situation. This is saying "Here's how you be friendly. It'll make you happy and it'll give them pleasent enough company for the encounter", if there's something wrong with that I'm missing it. If you believe most of the stuff you're saying, you probably live in a cave. Why do bosses offer their employees promotions? So the employee can put his talent to improving the business on a greater scale, making the boss look good. Is that some sort of evil, manipulative atrocity?DannyBoy451 said:To reduce and debase the intricaies of romance into a self-help tutorial is sleazy.Chill.

This is the only thing on your list that I have ever had trouble with. When I smile the tips of my mouth start to twinge and move it back into a normal state. I've actually practiced smiling, practiced hard, it just doesn't work for me. Don't get me wrong, I've gotten girls, just this never came into it for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not scowling at her, it's just the normal contented look with maybe a hand wave.thepj said:Thou Shalt Master the Smile

not necessarily. a lot of people just have trouble expressing their real personality. i know i certainly do; even when i'm deeply engaged in a conversation, i tend not to make eye contact, and i rarely smile consciously because i'm a little insecure about my teeth.DannyBoy451 said:And you can not learn how to be social from a guide, you need to get out there, try your best and keep failing until you learn it first hand.

You do not grow and learn to be yourself by pretending to be someone else, there is no point in getting comfortable in social situation if the whole time you are wearing a mask.GruntOwner said:OK, when you're about done with the moral high ground, you can come on back down to Earth and realize that some people need to get out in a disguise to know that they are, in fact, capable of talking to folk before they can be themselves.

While we're here, what's this about using women? It's saying how to be friendly and presentable, it's not saying "Step 7, lead her to a dark alley and make Japan look child friendly". I'm gonna say this one more time in the hopes that it can get through to you this time. In block capitals. STEPPING STONE. A point form which the socially below par can improve upon their self. Not their mask, they drop the mask as soon as they have the confidence to be themselves. This lets them get out, understand it and they can, themselves, get out there and enjoy themselves harmlessly. Yes, that's right, harmlessly. When I talk with friends who are almost as self righteous as you. She vents about whatever, making her feel better, and I enjoy company, plus it means I'm on good terms with them for when they're in a better mood, so we can enjoy each other's company. Am I evil? I want to continue a friendship with her, even if she has her moments, does that single bad quality mean I should give up on her? Or should I do this wonderful little thing called "Tolerance"? After all, my foul, evil, decieving disguise of evil is a false face. It makes up both happy, but it's a lie. Never mind us being happy, it's a lie some of the time so it must be evil. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back home to Bizzarro world. You may wish to join me.
QUESTION TO ALL THE FORUM: If I tell the occasional white lie to maintain a healthy, comortable friendship, am I evil?
