Jaisee, Darknight, and Stiletoes, thanks for your responses. All great points and sound advice.
Ok, maybe no picture.... that's cool. Here are my tips on how to get dates, but never find 'the one'.
The truth is a lot of the annoying cliche things that you hear are true. For example, 'swag'. A lot of men hear women mention Lil Wayne or 50 Cents 'swag' and try to emulate that. Swag to me means first finding yourself, second being comfortable with who you are, and finally being confident in yourself. Very cliche, I know... but hear me out. You want to attract women who are appropriate for your lifestyle. So if you project an image that is not you two things will happen. 1) You'll be exposed as fake, 2) You'll find yourself in frustrating situations with women who really are not a good match for you. The key here is confidence, people will pick up on that. Keep your head high, cause you're the shit. Have the mentality that if a woman turns you down, it's her loss not yours.
TRY not to take anything personal. Not rejection, not ridicule, nothing. If you approach a woman and she is not interested, it's merely a reflection of her own personal tastes. The common mistake that we make when rejected is to feel that we're not good enough for the other person, and then we begin to feel bad about ourselves. That is your ego at work. Don't let that happen... some people have in their mind so specific a description of the partner that they desire that they're blind to good men with good intentions, this is to their own disadvantage. As soon as you let rejection start to make you feel down about yourself, you begin to lose confidence and that is very easy to pick up on.
Paniro kinda touched on this earlier, but cast a wide net. Unless you're Irba Derba, the way dating works these days it's generally going to be an application process for men and a filtering process for women. Don't wait for the right one to come to you... that will happen either way. If you see someone that you like, approach her with confidence. Keep trying and keep trying and keep trying.... just don't take the rejection personal. If it starts to get to you and get you down, take a step back until you get your confidence back and get right back to it.
How do you approach women? Are you as stiff as a board? Are you robotic and calculated? Women are kinda like human beings too. Be flirtatious, charming, witty and funny... crack jokes (be appropriate and don't over-do it). Here's another mistake greenhorns make... be able to talk and keep up in the conversation. If you've just met someone, the last thing that you want is for them to become bored with you. You know when you talk to someone new and sometimes there's that moment of silence and you begin thinking to yourself "oh shit, I better come up with something to say".... then you say some witty shit like "So, whats your favorite color?" thinking she'll believe that you're interested in her likes and dislikes? Don't do that. Pay attention to her, if you see that she is tapping her foot to a song playing in the background, comment on that "Ok, I like your taste in music... I'm going to guess you also like <whatever>". Don't ask too many questions... it seems like you're trying too hard. "What do you do for fun?" "What's your favorite food?" "What do you do for work?" drop all of those. Keep your hands out of your pockets and don't cross your arms.... use hand gestures, but don't over-do it unless she's deaf and you're doing ASL. Uhm.... when you're ready to ask her out, don't say "Would you like to go to dinner with me?"... instead say "Cirque du Soleil is in town this week, I'd love to have your company to the show.... maybe after the show we can go back to my house and I can fingerbang you a little bit."
Oh, and don't be too complimentary... it comes across as disingenuous and also desperate. She is just as lucky to date you as you are to date her.
Most important thing. Tell pretty women they're smart, tell smart women they're pretty. Don't say anything to pretty & smart women, they've already heard it all.
Oh yeah, I don't know how many female friends you have, but make more.
If you had a girlfriend for only two weeks you my friend are doing something wrong and either know it or don't know it. Why did she leave and how did you meet her?
She left because I wanted her to. To be honest when we started going out, I barely knew the girl from work. This was several years ago now. And also she was fat and unattractive. But I let her seduce me one night when giving me a ride home. So I took her because at the time I never had a girl before and I wanted some dating experience. But I shouldn't have because after the second day of the relationship, she was a b!t@h! She would start arguments, yell, storm off on temper tantrums, and also tell me of how her best friend would always talk about me behind me back while smiling to my face. We even had an argument on my 21st birthday, because she was flirting with my friend and I didn't even get any that night. The whole time we were together, we only had sex two and a half times. She was moody and hypocritical. She was very sensitive but criticized me for my sensitivity. Anyway, at first she initially broke it off with me because she admitted we had some disagreements and too many arguments. However even after we were broken up, she still treated it like a relationship. She still flirted with me, kissed me, and I'm pretty sure we still slept together too. But the arguing and moodiness continued, and I was still pissed about her flirting with my friend, so then I told her that I strictly just wanted to be friends. But a few days after that we stopped speaking altogether.
I see your point and that makes sense now. It's actually been a few years since I've tried to talk to a woman in terms of anything past casual conversation. The reason I did that in high school and in my first years on my own is because I'm not too good at approaching a stranger that I don't know in public and trying to get their number. I tried that before and it didn't work out too well. So I'd mostly talk the girls I knew from work or school, because I knew them and had an excuse to talk to them. And there also seems to be alot of social stigma around men trying to "pick up" women in public. Up until about a year or two ago, I was young and naive and I did accidently reveal too much of myself. But now I know better and I don't talk about relationships or ask advice from anyone about relationships in real life, especially at work or school because I don't want to become "that guy" as I mentioned before.
I don't know about keeping my standards average, because why settle for someone who I don't want? I mean look at what happened when I did that before. Now as opposed to the past, in real life I don't talk about dating at all. I try not to even think about it, but it keeps coming back to my mind. Hopefully when I start school next month, I'll be too busy to think about not having a woman. Alot of ppl at my work always talk about their relationships and I try not to even listen, or just walk away. Some ppl have asked me if I'm seeing anyone, but I usually lie and tell them that I'm talking to someone or have some prospects so it doesn't sound like I'm the only one at the job who has no one.
Good point. But in high school my best friend and most of my friends since then were macks when it came to women. I tried to copy his style, but didn't work for me.
This is absolutely true. I've been to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South America, and in all of these places guys tell me if you're American, and specifically if you're African American, it's so easy to get girls. But like you said, everywhere you go you have to pursue.
I'm sensing another Mikey here.
Nah. Some people are woefully inexperienced. It doesn't mean they can't learn how to do better.
Is a message board the place to learn to do it?

I was like hmmm.Sometimes it is easier than embarrassing yourself to friends by showing how not in the know you are. I had a gf who asked me if I had ever squirted......when I told her, she asked if I could teach her.I was like hmmm.

JordanC and squirting in the same sentence is unreal.Sometimes it is easier than embarrassing yourself to friends by showing how not in the know you are. I had a gf who asked me if I had ever squirted......when I told her, she asked if I could teach her. I was like hmmm.
Omg my ovaries hurt right now. Dude you gotten toughen up a little I'm not even a chick and you're turning me off. You might need to find a hobby and build some confidence first. Women smell weakness like a dog smells fear brotha.
