You have chosen an inappropriate response. (Or, at least, we hadn't thought of it. Please make a different selection.)

God, I truly dread the thought. I honestly remember thinking, after I'd gotten over the shock and grief, that my life was now full of so many possibilities.


Strangely, it was as a result of the grieving process - the way I tried to come to an understanding of the way she died - that I came to a better understanding of who she and I really were. And that took sobriety and a number of years, to occur. I wouldn't say that opportunities opened up or that I see any new possibilities as such that would not occur if she were still alive. The thought, however, of still knowing myself as she knew me is jarring.

I have a brother who, in a very, very passive-aggressive dig, liked to "compliment" me for providing him with an object lesson of what happens when you drink too much, insisting that he's modeled his behavior so as not to follow in my foot-steps. As much as my failure to conform to social norms when drinking adheres to the narrative my mother laid out for me, I'm almost certain that had it not been for booze and her death, I'd have ended my life, a long time ago.

You are a very smart guy, you have a degree if i'm not mistaken, so life will take care of itself so long as you have a bit of drive. 23 to 30 goes by like lightening, the quality of life tends to improve pretty quickly and accordingly so long as you don't sit on your ass.


As much as I appreciate this very rare supportive post from you, Jay, I don't really deserve it. I'm specifically (and massively stereotypically) being a whiny emo cunt about a girl I can't be with for circumstances beyond my control.

I'm aware that it's completely transient and unoriginal and in a few months I won't give a shit and there'll be someone else, but damnit if knowing you're a useless walking miserable clich�d fuck makes you feel any better about it.

I would have had many things a lot easier, and done a lot "better" earlier on - but I wouldn't give up any of my life now for that. I've always felt genuinely happy and have done what is true to myself. I don't think I would if my dad was still an influence in my life.


Ditto, except change 14 for 12. I'm not really happy about where I am in life, or the things I've done/haven't done, but if I had the opportunity to become a different person overnight, I don't think I'd be able to go through with it since I truly appreciate the way I see things around me (despite the fact that it might hurt me at times).

being unhappy with your life can be an awesome thing if it lights enough of a fire under your ass to make you want to change your situation.

I'm gonna need a step by step guide here, as I have quite the opposite experience.
It's probably that my game was only sufficient for gullible teenagers whom you could impress by owning a car.


Posted by infiniteJEST on Jan-02-2011 20:28:

It's all about peacocking bro. Like, get noticed n' shit.

Incorrect. I'm young, but I know that's incorrect. I don't know what kind of self-centered let-down you were at my age, but I assure you young meat goes far.

Younger girls for instance are way easier to get because you usually easily have more to offer them than someone their age...the women your age know what they want and mess around less...and in your case the ugly ones are ready to settle.

Not to mention that with experience comes confidence.


Posted by ivofivo on Jan-02-2011 20:37:

Yea, cause every woman has the same rationale. GTFO with this simplistic bullshit. However, they do have one thing in common, they alllll love money.


Posted by Zyklon_Jay on Jan-02-2011 20:43:

you are like 16 years old,for me to to acknowledge you, you would have to have more than 5 seconds life experience to base your opinions on...that and be interesting.

a woman isn't a money grubbing whore just because she wants to be with someone who doesn't live paycheck to paycheck. It might just mean that she would like to have a decent future and the ability to more than just survive. No one is saying she doesn't make her own money.


Posted by infiniteJEST on Jan-02-2011 20:45:

The trick is to give them two compliments about their face, then you buy them a drink. Meanwhile mention all of the traveling you've done. When you bring out your wallet to pay for the drink, 'accidentally' have your large, Trojan magnum condom slip out on the table. Make it seem like an accident - this is key.

Then back at your place ask her if your towel smells of chloroform, which it should, if you paid attention and read in between the lines during the complimenting her face tidbit.

I remember when I first watched the notebook.


Posted by Zyklon_Jay on Jan-02-2011 20:49:

Put it from a guy's perspective too. If you are successful, would you really get serious with someone that worked at burger king?


Posted by ivofivo on Jan-02-2011 20:52:

Nah, but if she worked at Five Guys, fuck yea.


Posted by Zyklon_Jay on Jan-02-2011 20:55:

*gives you a lolipop and pets your oddly shaped russian head.*

You should be wearing a cast or have a black-eye. An injury is the surest way to a woman's heart because it arouses their care-taking instinct. A black-eye says you're dodgy on the wild side of life so if you can manage it, include this in an injury combo package. Finally, remember that when it comes to a woman's love, money is no object. Pull out the wallet and let that Magnum condom fall out, but then say, "Fuck. I'm so used to pulling this out to pay for drinks, I forgot I'd just been mugged and they took all my credit cards."

Then feign that you're having to hold back tears for a split second. Women love traumatized men because it makes them feel powerful and attractive!

or if you really want her, ignore her and hit on her friend.

Oh, yeah! The old push-pull. Put them in competition with one another.


Posted by Zyklon_Jay on Jan-02-2011 21:01:

you would think that move would blow up in peoples faces more than it does....but it doesn't.

really a win win.

I wish I was little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
and a '64 Impala

I wish I was like six-foot-nine
So I could get with Leoshi
Cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine
You know I see her all the time
Everywhere I go, and even in my dreams
I can scheme of ways to make her mine
Cause I know she's livin phat
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball
So how am I gonna compete with that
'Cause when it comes to playing basketball
I'm always last to be picked
And in some cases never picked at all
So I just lean upon the wall
Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
Who came to watch their men ball
Dag y'all! I never understood
Why the jocks get the fly girls
And me I get the hood rats
I tell 'em scat, skittle, skibobble
Got hit with a bottle
And put in the hospital, for talkin' that mess
I confess it's a shame when you livin' in a city
That's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name
Glad I came to my senses
Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach
Overcome with my thoughts of me and her together
Right?
So when I asked her out she said I wasn't her type

I wish I had a brand-new car
So far, I got this hatchback
And everywhere I go, yo I gets laughed at
And when I'm in my car I'm laid back
I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat
But that's flat
And do you really wanna know what's really wack, What
See I can't even get a date
So, what do you think of that?
I heard that prom night is the bomb night
With a hood rat you can hold tight
But really tho' on figuero
When I'm in my car I can't even get a hello
Well so many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday
Well then I'm gonna have to get in my car and go
You know I take the 110 to the 105
Get off on Crenshaw tell my homies look alive
Cause it's hard to survive
Livin' in a concrete jungle and
These girls just keep passin' me by
She looks fly, she looks fly
Makes me say my, my, my

I wish I was a little bit taller...
I wish I was a baller...
I wish I was a little bit taller y'all
I wish I was a baller

Hey, I wish I had my way
'Cause everyday would be a Friday
You could even speed on the highway
I would play ghetto games
Name my kids ghetto names
Little Mookie, big Al, Lorraine
Yo you know that's on the real
So if you're down on your luck
Then you should know just how I feel
Cause if you don't want me around
See I go simple, I go easy, I go greyhound
Hey, you, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Ahhhh, yes, ain't that fresh?
Everybody wants to get down like that

I wish, I wish, I wish...

A very wise woman once told me that the secret to getting laid is not about your penis, or about how good looking you are, or even about what you have to offer. It is about attitude. The way she said it was

"Act like you're what every woman wants, but don't take it too far. When you take it too far you just seem like a prick and girls don't like that. Just carry yourself with confidence, and when you talk to girls act like you already KNOW they want you, and just like that, they will."

Works great for me
