Ladies love Kevin Costner.

Arya Stark 06-17-2009 12:50 AM

I'm going to go look Kevin Costner up. If I don't love him like you say I do, it'll be yet another time you guys let me down.

Edit: Not bad. I'm not as disappointed as I expected to be.

boo boo 06-17-2009 01:05 AM

You never heard of Kevin Costner?

I know the guy hasn't been in a movie worth watching since 1990. But still, he somehow manages to stay popular.

Arya Stark 06-17-2009 01:08 AM

I don't really do popular. >.>

Arya Stark 06-17-2009 02:46 PM

I didn't mean to make that sound like I was trying to be badass.

It's because for some reason I never know much about popular actors and movies and such...

I don't watch too much TV in my spare time and I'm not a huge movie person. >.>

@ The Delightful young lady who'll soon be changing her username

You should watch the Postman, Captain Corelli's mandolin and Waterworld, great Costner epics.

@ Bryan (2Boo): I'm married, so obviously I don't get laid, but when I did, acting like I didn't care (not to a comical degree, be convincing) was my most successful tactic.

Also important to have standards if you want to be a repeat winner.

Women, subconsciously want to things, what doesn't want them and what other women want.

The sick flaw in nature is that finding out a guy really likes them is a pretty major turn off.

One, okay, thank you. ^_^

Two, that's only true sometimes. xD

I know it makes women sound stupid and illogical, but I think it holds up.

How do you explain someone like Andy **** or Bill Maher, or for that mater Joe Smalltown who constantly gets laid despite having little to offer. Momentum i'd say. When women see a man has a lot of beautiful women, they are more inclined to want to be with him.

As for wanting what doesn't want you, I swear by this one. I don't mean be rude or ignore the girl, just don't smother her with compliments and unsolicited affection.

Any better or am I still an ignorant male?

Mm, better at the second one. Still not the first

Urban Hat€monger ? 06-17-2009 08:51 PM

I think Jay's right to a certain extent.

I have met tons of women just how he describes and I think it's a lot more common than most women would like to admit.

For most girls, perhaps, but not all.

If I see a man with lots of beautiful women or things, I steer clear. And I like being smothered with compliments and unsolicited affection!

Thanks Urban; Wisdom and Life experience for the win. (that's twice i've used that now)

No wonder people think you're "like 50 or something"

Of course, there is always exceptions to the rule and nothing is absolute.

As for the compliments and affection, only if you really like the guy already right?

Not a good move to go from friends to bunkmates?

I don't completely agree with that.

Half the time, I don't know how to react to compliments.

It was so bad with some guys that I don't even believe when people call me beautiful anymore.

But you're right about guys with a lot of beautiful women.

Who doesn't? Compliments are great.

Thus, the bumblefuck of human emotion.
But regardless of how many people tell you you're beautiful, it's still dependent on you believing it for yourself. It's not so much what they are or aren't saying, it's more what you think about yourself. You shouldn't have your self confidence relying on what people are saying about you.

You also don't need to react to compliments. A compulsory need to react to compliments often leads to compulsory decisions based on them as a way to reciprocate. You can answer a compliment with a smile and simply walk away.

If you've been hurt by reciprocating to praise, you should be careful, because, as you know, a lot of guys will just say things to stroke the ego as a way to get... um... jiggy with it?

Cute, darling.

I understand what you mean, though. I don't rely on their compliments as much as I had wanted to trust they meant what they said. "You're beautiful" always leads to them saying something more meaningful.

Well, just to provide you a little insight from this side of the fence, a guy who up and says "you're beautiful" and you barely know him... He's spinning a line.

Someone who's interested in YOU is going to comment on deeper things than what you look like. You'll have more of a connection than a physical one.
I mean... that applies if you're looking for something meaningful.
Otherwise, looks is all it takes if you're just trying to score.

Mm. True, I suppose.

I like how we're talking on both of the threads in circulation, now. xD

jackhammer 06-18-2009 06:30 AM

If anyone says that I'm OK looking then what's not to like about that? Compliments are food for the ego and soul. do you know how many times I see certain women and I just want to go up to them and tell them that they are pretty? Not for any other purpose than just to say that they are good looking but alas they would probably think you were some sort of sex creep:( That's why I do comment in the members gallery a lot. I like giving compliments and it doesn't mean I'm on the make or anything.

I understand what you're saying, I never try to approach a woman directly, I already learned that the hard way.

Well Ethan has been slacking in that department lately so I'm his placeholder for the moment.

Yeah but even at my most angsty (see middle school) I was still getting more ass than you.
