The Glade 4.0

That has to be one of the most shallow things I've seen in a long time. But if that's what floats your boat, more power to you.

Just be careful what you ask for, you often will get it.

What floats my boat the most is going out and not staring at my computer or wall. I can use this time to adventure and gain interesting life experiences.

Eventually I want a really pretty girl with a decent personality, or a cute girl with an amazing personality. In the meantime I will have lots of fun.

Lex, what you want is a trophy wife. That doesn’t need to come with charm, merely money.

Any girl with half a brain will see right through your idea of ‘charm’.

Also a point of caution. Plastic surgery does not carry through to genetics, and there have been cases.

Rude awakening time...

Attractive parents do not mean attractive children, and here's why: there is no single gene that always presents as beauty. There are genes that create attractive males and different genes that create attractive females. Think about attractive guys... how hot is a woman who looks just like Sean Connery? And the other way... men who look like Nicole Kidman are going to have a rough life. So suppose you find a supermodel who is willing to lower her standards and breed with you and you have a little boy with her soft features and slight build and a little girl with your long face, broad shoulders, and strong jaw. What then?

Also, you're not as cute as you think you are, though the wife you want isn't going to care so long as you have plenty of cash. She may not be a very good mother, either. You could end up with ugly kids who are stupid and unhappy, and non one is going to feel sorry for your shallow ***.

I.e:

Steven Tyler begat Liv Tyler.

Freaky.

Wow this thread took a disturbing turn while I was AFK. Aizle has it exactly right. Pretty is nice for a while but it does not equal compatibility. People age, people gain weight, beauty fades.

You guys have good points about compatibility. What Taamar said about children is interesting as well - I hadn't considered all that. It's not nice how she made fun of my looks. I never said I was the best looking guy.

However, I still want an adventurous life that isn't handicapped by anxiety, fear of the unknown, or emotional junk. I want to talk to as many girls as I can imagine, instead of just looking at them. I want to be the hardened soldier who easily charges into the fray of battle, because he has done it countless times before. I've been working at this stuff for months, but it will take much longer to cure my issues. I define issues as stuff that prevents girls from really liking me.

You can't win them all Lex. You can't make people like you. Just be yourself, if they don't like you...**** em.

1) usually young people do not have the necessary backing for such expensive toys.
2) so the produce last longer?

Also Lex, girls know when a guy is trying too hard. It's one of the biggest turn offs.

A guy who spends hours every day going out will be better with girls than a guy who "isn't trying hard" by being on his computer.

Personally I find a guy who's too 'experienced' in such areas a big turn off. A laid back guy who's not afraid to admit he's a geek is kinda sexy... of course I'm a closet geek chick so that maybe has something to do with that.

Oh the other hand, I admire a guy who is able to balance his geek side with normal un-computerised activities.

I may come across here as more harsh than I normally try to be, but despite my annoyance it's got your best interests at heart. That said...

Stop looking at people as a damn game. They are people, not playthings. If you wonder why we accuse you of sociopathic tendencies, the inability to empathize with or even seemingly recognize the innate humanity of the girls you're pursuing stands as a sterling example.

**** being "better with girls." **** this ridiculous scoring system you think you've worked out. **** having multiple dates every single night, **** trying to get in the girls' pants, and most of all, **** this "I'm better than other people" mentality you have. Pro tip: most of the people here, we geeks who spend an awful lot of time on computers, have had more, longer, and better relationships than you've made any reference to so far.

If you have decided you're going to put on your big-boy pants and have a relationship, try having an actual, real, adult relationship. If you can manage to stumble into one without tripping yourself up, you'll find it a hell of a lot more fulfilling than this "girls-are-a-pursuit" idea by which you seem so enraptured.

So why would a girl as pretty as you want spend time with you? Isn't it hypocritical to expect others to value you for what's inside if you care so much about looks? Like the 400 pound dude in the 'no fat chicks' shirt...

Why should I pull a punch? I'm not attractive enough for you to care what I say anyway.



Thats a thing that impresses men, not women. Would be more useful if you'd swing the other direction. Women want to interact with YOU, not your system.



Your 'issues' that prevent girls from really liking you? Treating them as interchangable parts who exist only to amuse you and look pretty on your arm heads the list.


Listen to Farsky, kiddo. Your goal shouldn't be to learn how to impress 'girls' it should be growing into the sort of adult who will attract the ONE girl who will make you happy. Make yourself a better person.

I weigh 260 and my SO is a fat chick... can I get one of those shirts?

I am okay with that.

No, it doesn't - it impresses boys with fantasies about what men do.

Agreed. I stand corrected.

I think you guys are focusing on the wrong thing, here. Lex just wants to go out an socialize. His motives and ultimate expectations should be of no consequence to you. If Lex finds a girl that meshes well with him, more power to him. If he doesn't, then he doesn't. You're all so concerned about the assumption that he's manipulating women, but we all know that women find out everything eventually.

You're trying to force lessons-learned and personal morality on someone other than yourself. Let him learn by himself, and let him eventually come to his own set of morals.

Game on, Lex.

Frankly, Lex is not ready for a real relationship. Give him some time, let him get a few real life experiences under his belt and let him get knocked on his keister a few times. When he has a better understanding of how the real world works he will better understand what the rest of us have learned through experience and have been trying to tell him. Some people cannot learn from the mistakes of others and need to do it all wrong themselves.

When he does wake up, grow up, and mature enough to love a real person, I wish Lex and his future mate a wonderful, long, and happy life. Hopefully he will be as bright as his father in finding a good woman and hanging on to her. That would be the greatest tribute to his parents he could exhibit.

In the meantime - Lex, always use condoms, every time. The ones that prevent STDs as well as babies. Remember, the stork is a bird with a huge bill.

I'd agree, but for the fact that he posts his motives and expectations clearly and repeatedly.

My issue is that he's been doing it for years with no sign of change, yet folks keep beating their heads against the same brick wall.
