The sexiest thing about a man is his sense of humor. I think you've got that covered. Why do you think men and women alike are drawn to Jako?

Because he's easy.

you don't have to have the hottest shit out or the newest BMW to have swag. it just is. you can definately develop it. swag doesn't mean asshole either. confidence is a big part of it. you have to crawl before you walk. find like a "2" or "3" that you know you can handle and take a stab and chat her up. odds are she will be happy to have someone to chat with too. let her talk, women love to talk. ask simple and easy to answer questions. let her talk more. it's not that hard.



it sounds terrible and i'm sure i'm not telling you anything new, but you need a peer group STAT. you need to invade an established circle of friends and be the new guy. invading a friend group is easy, you have a built in one ready to go. you obviously like hockey, i think you said you have played in the past. go join a league at a rink. teams are always looking for another person to help share the $$$ load of league fees. i dont know of any adult league team that doesn't grab a beer afterwards. if they dont, they are probably a bunch of dorks that you wouldn't wanna hang out with anyways. odds are the team is mostly friends. friends with girlfriends/wives. all women want to play matchmaker, they eat that shit up. it shouldn't take more than a solid month or two before you are at partys, getting set up on dates, etc. all of this is good for your social development. time to be a big boy and do something. you dont wanna end up like my 55 year old aunt who doesn't drive and still lives with my grandma.



if these generalizations dont improve my e-rep i dont know what will.



good luck and dont put that pussy on a pedestal.

What he said. With extra emphasis on the peer group, it makes everything easier.



Lets put it this way supra, I have a cousin who was the most socially akward human being on the planet. I am not exagerating. He had NO friends growing up, not 1, not even a small group of friends, he lived in rpg's and referred to characters in games as his friends. hes been this way as long as I have known him, he is one month younger than me then all of a sudden one thanksgiving he shows up with this stacked brunette, everyones fuckin jaw dropped because every soul in the family thought deep down he would die a virgin. he isnt even a particulalry good looking guy either. Theyve been dating for a couple years now, She is a model and "aspiring" actress. I never really talked to him about it asking, what the **** did you do where all of a sudden you have friends and a girlfriend?!



He works at gamestop as a manager All of his friends are much younger than him, including his girlfriend, but hey at least he scored a social life. I am telling you if he could do it anyone can. My aunt made him come visit me once at college, he literally just sat in a corner everywhere we went and didnt say a word. Just so you can get an idea of how anti-social he was. So if he can turn it around I think anyone can.

I think you're confusing a sense of humor with morbid curiousity.



Think of it like a freak show... everyone wants to see the geek bite the head off a live chicken... with Jako, we're all just waiting for the chicken.

Shouldn't that be men, women, mules, lemurs, monkfish, and primordial ooze?

Can your cousin give me tips. he seems to understand my situation the most and I like stacked brunettes

I suppose I could talk to him about it. He still isnt the most approachable motherfucker on the planet. He lent me a DVD on thanksgiving, I need to return it to him, so perhaps I will get the 411.

I really know one of my major hurdles is the lack of a social life. All my friends from high school I stopped hanging out with because well they never wanted to come get me. So I really don't go out much. First time I went out and did anything was last night, met an ex-co-worker and his friends for dinner. This guy is old enough to be my father so again I was around a much older crowd and we were at winghouse (local version of hooters). So sure I was surrounded by gorgeous women but most of them highly unobtainable from what I have been told about picking up wait staff.

 

[E Runs]

Yeah no friends outside of co-workers that are 10 years older than me. I tend to hang out with an older crowd and let me tell ya, porn lies to you, many women in their mid 30s do not in fact want to jump in bed with a guy in his mid 20s.



The online dating thing, I tried geek 2 geek since well I'd probably fair best with my peoples. Yeah got nowhere fast.

Try wearing a fake wedding ring and that'll change real quick.

That's exactly your problem. The screwing around with us needs to be carried over to talking to others. It's not different, really. I talk to you guys in a very similar manner than I do in person.

The hardest part is getting the in into a conversation. Here it's layed out for you and stays and you can respond whenever. That's not the case in real life. So you basically need to learn icebreakers, which, admittedly, are not easy.

I've found that, "Can I map your labia with my fingers" doesn't work too often.



Though there was this one time in college when, "How are we gonna **** if you keep blowing me" did infact work.

I'm more along the lines of "Do you take Visa?"

The unfortunate thing from most of our perspectives, is none of us have really, ever, had the lack of some sort of social life I suppose. So its like, we can only take guesses as what you should do on that front, for me having and acquiring friends just happens. For some reason (its odd) I am resistant to becoming friends with people at work. No idea why, i think its cuz hanging out with them outside work would be a constant reminder of work.

Good for practice (flirting), bad for application.

Yeah great, I'm pretty good at flirting that's meaningless. Practical application is where I stumble. Getting a woman to smile is relatively easy. Getting a woman to let me stab her with the meat sword is a whole other world of difficultly.

 

[JOVE23]

Yeah its a ***** when people just leave you with, find some confidence, somewhere, you cant pretend to have confidence if you dont have it.

Holy this, Batman. Everyone always gives me that line and never explains HOW to do it. Good on you for going the extra step.

Thats pretty much the same everywhere. Ive seen tons of patrons at bars trying to get with a server or bartender, and never once have I seen success.

I was actually going to suggest an escorst service if it really comes down to it, hire them for an hour and work on "yer game". Of couse if you get a handy out of it all the better....

From you're lips to god's ears my man.



Try hanging outside the local planned parenthood.

I literally think its a skill that must be developed by forcing yourself into uncomfortable situations, that will be akward at first, but over time the mystery goes away, and you are more sure of yourself, like anything, learning to skate etc.



The way I ultimately turned into is I don't even think about it anymore. I have a habit of coming into a situation and taking over. I hate that akward bullshit. For example I had to take a class for work recently where we worked in groups(nobody knew anyone), when we had to do something, instead of everyone sitting there like socially akward rejects, I just took over talked directly to people lead the work we were doing asked who wanted to do what, always kept the conversations rolling. I do shit like that all the time in every situation and don't even realize what im doing until later. Its funny, that probably spews confidence, but in my personal life I really am unorganized and indecisive, so how I project myself to people isnt even the reality of what I am and I dont even realize it.

Well with all this warm male bonding going on, you no longer need me. I have become obsolete. Continue.

If I am paying for an escort...I'd better get more than a handy, I better damn well get fucked. Shit I can convince a woman to go out with me for appearance sakes. She might be my friend with a boyfriend but she'd do me the favor and act like my GF for a night. So yeah if they are accepting my credit card, they are getting fucked that night.



Here's how much of a nerd I am. I have even given serious thought about getting an escort cause god I need to get laid. But then I start wondering what protocol is. Is it acceptable to be passionate even if it is a false passion, is it okay to kiss her? Do you just do the deed? All these quite Special person questions go through my mind and I know they are dumb questions but they are important questions. I simply have no desire to just bang a chick. I want a little passion, I'm not saying it has to be real, but I don't want to just bang away at a chick just because. I want a little heat in it. I mean hell if I wanted to just **** something a pocket pussy will do the trick. I am rambling and I aint going back to fix it, so if you guys can make sense of it, more power to you.

i know I said I wouldn't intervene, but Hun, you want real passion. You should be with someone that genuinely cares for you that wants to please you because you matter to them not because you are paying them,
