1. no offense but your self pity isn't helping anything. 2. confidence is what its all about. 3. I really don't believe you are trying hard to meet ladies, because you are not a bad looking guy and if u have any kind of personality and willingness to put yourself out there you should have no problem finding some cute chicks to hang out with. 4. be more outgoing make an effort to do so. 5. talk to people you dont know, they wont bite. 6. and the worst thing that can happen is they tell you to fuck off which never really happens anyways.
1. I'm more venting than anything. As it stands, rather do it here than anywhere else, where more than likely a fee would be involved. Besides, maybe something constructive will come of it. Who knows.
2. Meh. I have faith in myself, my beliefs, my attitude, my style, my capabilities and competence in the areas I know, all of which is on display for all to see, and yada yada yada yada...if that isn't confidence, than nothing is,
mon ami. Or maybe confidence is something else entirely? Fuck if I know...if anything the concept is so nebulous and ill-defined usually, that it means next to nothing really other than don't have the shotgun in your mouth. In which case...I'm good.
3. Can't say I disagree much with that at least up until the part about finding cute chicks...well, single ones at least.
4. The only going out I'm going to be doing soon will be to Boston with any luck next week. Unless somebody has got something around Chicago they're up for.
5. I guess the problem here is that the "new" people I tend to meet look, act, sound, think, whatever a lot like the "old" people I knew, know, whatever, which 9 out of 10 times will not be a good thing or will at least get nothing more than indifference out of me. I'm pretty good at spotting potential friends and avoiding wasting time on talking to people with whom there is no connection, unlike other people who seem to want company for company's sake. Fuck that. Quality over quantity any day, but preferably a high quantity of high quality as often as humanly possible. That's the goal.
As of now, I tend to be most interested in anyone who can be of service in pointing me in the direction of single women of my type(s) or just in single women of my type(s) period. Sorry, but with that being
my most pressing interpersonal need,
I'm not really going to look out for anything other than somebody who's going to scratch that itch, though of course remaining open to people who for whatever reason want to wander into my orbit and stay there.
6. Usually. Except when they want to fight ya for hitting on their girlfriends. Or really, over or for anything if they are drunk. Had plenty of those experiences but that's a whole 'nother thread!
