No, that's true.  Simple compliments are great.  I love simple compliments because they show that someone is actually noticing me. So um, what I mean is that if that's for me, than imagine how the woman feels...ahem. Of course, make certain the comment is relevant...

Still no ladies hahahaha...

i think phylicia is the only girl here that actively posts... courtney has like 3 posts lol

Laura posts kinda.

oh yah laura too hahahah

Would it help if I posted pictures of myself in drag?

yes it would help alot... cause i am curious

Drag usually helps somehow with something at sometime.

Okay, but I should probably wait until I'm over this whole flu bit first.
And, like, shave. xD

Seriously, right now, I = ZOMBEH!

oh i thought you had them all ready for posting :C

you're letting us down Tofu rifk

Fluish drag is totally hawt, afterall.

But seriously, I thought you had the picture primed and ready to go already, hahaha...get well man.

Not to call you out or anything, but I'm differentiating between "couldn't" and "didn't", because I very well could have had girlfriends in high school :p

I do however remember seeing 3 or 4 really cute girls 16 or 17 that talked very highly of you, when some of us didn't believe that you were homecoming prince or something like that (This was I believe in 2003).  They kept talking about how cool you are, and I don't think they were being sarcastic (you really can't be voted dance event royalty out of humiliation only, unless you were THAT bad), so I think you just have confidence issues.

I don't think it would get you ladies, no.

I'm surprised nobody pointed out how difficult this is for about half of the members of PNWbemani.

Uh, really?  And how many years were you a freshman in college?


Yes.  Always.

On topic: I usually hesitate to give advice on these things, because I think that "getting a girlfriend" (or boyfriend) just for the sake of HAVING a girlfriend (or boyfriend) is a really bad idea.  But my curiosity has now been sparked.  I don't see anyone mentioning the things *I* think are important, and I wonder whether that's because I'm the only person weird enough to see them.

So: I think that people in general are drawn to those with passionate natures.  The very, very few people that I've been drawn to (in amorous and non-amorous ways) have been those who are just crazy-nerdy about things, and for whom that passion is (1) overflowing and (2) manifested in deep knowledge, ability, etc.  This can be a passion for something I love, like electronics, music, whatever, or for something I'm indifferent to, like botany, dollmaking, and so on.  It can even be just a generalized passion for life.

If you're more cynical and/or more interested in relationships than in deep relationships, remember the poet: "People love you not for who you are but for who they are with you."  Be someone who makes others happy and they'll love you (if that's something they need).  Be someone who lends others courage and they'll love you (if that's something they want).  Be someone who inspires others to achievement and they'll love you (if that's something they care about).  Be the life of the party.  Be the life of the board meeting.  Be the life of your life.

And don't be oblivious.  Please.  I knew this adorable nerd-boy in my first two years of college who was just exceedingly brilliant and passionate about everything he did.  He was the kind of person who could talk for hours and people would be spellbound.  Even if they didn't know what the hell he was talking about.  He would occasionally complain about how he couldn't meet girls, or something to that effect.  He would also bite the head off any cute girl who walked up to him with one of those incredibly transparent I'm-just-looking-for-an-excuse-to-talk-to-you questions (and there were many).  They would slink away in shame after his verbal lashing and never speak to him again.  It was really funny because it wasn't happening to me, but I suspect it wasn't funny to him when he grew up and figured out that he was chasing off actual girls.  So do yourself a favor and don't be that guy. :twisted:

Nope, not everyone, and not in general. I could care less if some girl is passionate about something I don't care about. It won't be a reason not to go out with her, but it isn't attractive just because she's passionate about something.

Attraction is very different, and you can't just generalize it that simply.     I'm attracted to people who stand up for themselves when they're right and won't let anyone push them around or back down. That's very different than a passion for basket weaving or music, as it's more a characteristic trait than them happening to really like something.

Attraction is much more primal than simply liking to play games together. It's too abstract to really pinpoint, but I think we have all felt it at one time or another.

Okay, then, s/people/women.

And agree or disagree with my comments about passion, you can't argue with my point about not being oblivious.

i'm attracted to hot girls
just kidding preg_replace('/(.{49})/u', '$1 ', '..........................................................................................................................................................................................well') kinda...[/color]

Yes, but what is your METRIC for hotness?  Only rigorous results in this thread, guys!

is there something you are not telling us mike

Umm, I like hot girls.
This varies from person to person as to what's attractive and how high the scale they're going after, but I'm not going to marry anyone that's ugly (to me).

All guys prefer girls that are higher on their measuring stick, and physical attractiveness happens to be a common and huge component of that measuring stick.  I'm not sure why everyone's stating that obvious fact though, we all know whoever says otherwise is weeeeeeeeeeird

Well, Mike did say he was kidding about liking hot girls....    :-P

whoa there, i dont swing that way buddy


heh, i said that because you guys were talking about attraction so i said something any typical average guy would say... i just didn't want to sound like much more of a jerk when i stated that (cuz believe it or not, there are girls on the forum)

anyways, i am attracted to girls which appearance is on a high scale (at least i would think) but like what was mentioned earlier, whats "hot" differs from other peoples eyes
