Entering the dating pool

[Felch]

Re-entering the dating pool is an awful lot like being chum poured into a shark tank.

I know you guys don't know me personally all that well, so I'll keep this impersonal. I can't describe myself reliably, in fact the last thing my ex said to me was, "I see a different John then the John you see." So clearly I have no ****ing clue what kind of guy I am.

So, to all the gays and girls out there, what should guys do to improve their chances? Everybody else is more than welcome to comment, from experience, in fact the more the merrier.

What should guys do to be better guys? Or more to the point, what do I need to do to get laid?

you go to college, how hard can it be?

[Felch]

It's not hard, I'm just asking for general pointers. What are pet peeves, things that are always appreciated. Things like that.

I mean, if you're posting here, odds are you're a geek with limited social skills. We need all the help we can get.

Hey you broke up with that skinny girl you posted a pic of a long time ago? Sorry to hear that. But good luck with the return to the single's scene, bro!
As far as luck with the ladies:
Be as good looking as possible
Be as wealthy as possible.

Those two guidelines will optimize your chances. Other than that, be yourself, and hope for the best.

[Felch]

Well thanks Monk, and yeah, it was amicable, but I definitely haven't a prayer to patch things together.

Lie, lie, lie.

[Pekka]

That could not give you longer happiness, but you were looking for short thrills?

[monkspider]

Oh yeah, and if you want to get laid, don't be her whore. Don't be smart, funny, and sympathetically listen to all her stories. Try to imitate the archetypal obnoxious, arrogant frat-boy types you always see. Chicks dig that type of thing for some reason.

It is difficult for us nerdy types to do, but try your best and follow my earlier advice.

monk, thats bull. i see more of my nerdy friends in relationships than anyone else.

Women are lunatics. Better off by yourself.

College was like a giant dating service so I'm sure you won't have much trouble if you try. Most guys are self defeating; they say to themselves "she wouldn't be interested" when the reality is she is wondering why the hell no guy wants to ask her out. The guy who grabs his nuts and sounds off is the one who ends up with the hot girl.

The only other advice I can give you is don't talk about your ex. That is like hanging a piece of meat around your neck and the sharks will get you for sure. Instead ask her qustions about herself; people love to talk about themselves and girls are used to men cutting them off so if you let her do the talking she will remember it. As an added bonus she'll talk about what she's interested in so when she looks back at the night she'll think about what a great conversation you two had instead of about that guy who kept talking about his ex-girlfriend.

MRT: I noticed that many young girls want the exciting guy who treats them poorly. Luckily when they get older they tire of a-holes...

The four s's: smart, sensitive, sympathetic, sexy.

Go gay.

Edit: I just realized that both of my answers were the same!
