I wouldn't say interesting, I'd probably say something like "tough" or "a pain." But that's just me. If that's not how you would express it, fine, but avoid saying basically any of the three things you just said, they could be easily construed as aggressive, overly personal and/or rude unless you already know the girl well. Then again, maybe that kind of borderline-hostility is how people relate to each other in Philly?

But isn't this how to come off as strong? I'm not pussying around. I'm saying it with conviction, taking control, and getting a response from her while keeping the ball in my court. If it makes her a little uncomfortable, that's the point. A little uncomfortable is good. A little tension is good. Like with the whole telling her she is the opposite of how she likely views herself.
My friend told me when I sent her a message to say, "Are you the girl ***** told me about? He told me you were cuter, though". I didn't have the guts to do that, though."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

like she's the only person you want to talk to
Check this. The attention elsewhere thing is used a lot.
Women subconsciously desire what they think they can not have. By focusing exclusively on her, you're telling her she has you locked down. It's that crap that got me screwed by the stripper *****."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Originally posted by Elok View PostI have a friend who can top that easily. He's absolutely obsessed with rape, and makes rape/sexual abuse jokes basically every day. And that's just the start. He's also a grown man with strong opinions about children's TV shows, including Hannah Montana. He's been in mental institutions several times. He's a total egomaniac incapable of holding an extended conversation which isn't centered on himself. He's somewhat overweight, sweats, fidgets constantly, and of course rants and rambles at the drop of a hat. He drinks more than he should, has no career prospects, no tact, no sense of style. He swears like a sailor and typically comes across as flamingly gay (though he's only slightly bi). Oh, and he won't hesitate to tell a woman about any and all of his past adventures, no matter how horrifically inappropriate.
Why am I telling you all this? Because even he has had, to my knowledge, two long-term (not stable, but long-term) relationships with women, in addition to a number of dates and short flings. From this, I conclude that Al's problem must be one of the following:
1. Insincerity. My friend is, at least, impeccably honest and straightforward. He's always himself. Al keeps asking us how he should act; perhaps he's coming across as phony?
2. Relentlessly going after the wrong women. My friend did this at first, when we were at college together, with often hysterical results. Al could stand to have somebody experienced, who knows him IRL, tell him what kind of girl might like him.
3. Maybe he's just boring in person. That's almost the only other fault my friend doesn't have but which Al might.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

If women around Philly respond to that in a positive way, that's just one more sign you need to get out of Philly. If not, you need to get new friends who don't set you up for a slap in the face so they can laugh at you. Or maybe just smarter friends. I don't know.

Over at the Misc., another forum, I've seen guys troll women at dating sites with some absurd **** and the women love it.
You tell the chick that she's not as cute as you expected and it makes her try. She's no longer thinking she has you on lock but she now has to WORK for YOUR affection. You're also putting it out there that you're used to better looking women. She's nothing to you and you can pull anyone you want so it's special if you give her attention.
This stuff is gold probably 80% of the time. I just don't have the guts to do it and I'm not naturally an ******* so my mind has a tough time thinking how to do it. Plus it has to be executed perfectly and intermixed with more positive stuff in the right situations and proportions. It's a freaking skill."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

You need to develop that skill. Sure, you'll probably fail at first, but we'll all get a good laugh from hearing the stories about you trying.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.

Good God. Should these threads be consolidated into a single 2300+ post thread? Am I missing any threads here? And why is Al allowed to own a computer?
thanks
