I wish I was more like anyone who women are attracted to. Especially the being attractive to women part.

[NineInchNall]

GAWD I hated that game.

Saxophone lessons: Improve your fingering and tung techniques.

I loved that game. Still do. Enough to make a character based on it though? No. And I'm willing to agree that there are plenty of problems with it. I think I'm biased because it was the second RPG (after Phantasy Star IV for the Megadrive/Genesis) I ever played.

Anyway, I also wish to be more attractive to other girls. Or have a gay-ray. That'd be pretty cool (or just make everyone bisexual, I'm really not fussed).

I played the saxophone for years back in middle/high school. Back then, girls stayed away from me in droves too. In fact, I have a long history of women wnating nothing to do with me.

Sigma: Saxophones don't have spit valves.

[CalibronXXX]

Yeah, that's trumpets.

[angelfromanotherpin]

And trumbones, and tubas, and all the other brass instruments. Despite the shiny exterior, a Saxophone is a woodwind.

Get a lapdog, or a little piggy. If you're good with Aminals (small adorable animals) you'll be good with children, and many women respond to that. If anything, they'll like your pet enough to put up with you.

If that fails, become a pron star. At least you'll get laid.

I've got a cat. Does that count?

The problem with me being a porn star is that no one wants to see me nekkid. Plus despite rumors to the contrary (mostly started by me), my genitals are unremarkable.

In attempts to being "artistic" some studios will want "ugly" and "poorly endowed" "actors" for some of their films.

Anyway, you can't take a cat for a walk in the park and attract the same attention an aminal will.

OK, no more dating advice. I'm officially creeped out. And this thread is making laugh and cry again. My fault too.

Who gives a flying fvck about your genitals when there are women who will accept money for sex? Just go bone yourself some whores in Vegas and be done with it!

It's not the boning that I want, I want to feel like women are attracted to me. You can't get that for money.

[Koumei]

True. Despite being one myself, it still took me a few hundred dollars to figure this out.

Confidence is key.

Do something that improves you as a person, work out, read something edifying, study a field of knowledge, hone a talent.

That's too much work to impress someone else.

Yes, I am going to college and whatnot, but it's for me, not some random trollop.

Why can't it be both?

[CalibronXXX]

Exersise is an awesome thing to do to yourself.

I guess it's because I don't feel I should trust any woman that would have sex with a guy like me.

[Judging__Eagle]

ROFL.

That's your problem. You don't feel you're worth it, for some reason. You're going to have to explore the whys of that on your own.

Also, working out is the one of the better things you can do for yourself.

The confidence that you can lift a clothes dryer off of it's moorings and carry it across your home to disassemble and repair the motor of is something that no one can take away from you.

Plus, you will do your body a favour, since you're making your body lean up and get tougher. I focus on very short intense weight-lifting that gets me dead tired, then I shower and go to bed. Mostly b/c I don't want to kill time doing dumb cycling or treadmilling.

Getting an education in something that you enjoy learning about doesn't hurt.

[Koumei]

On exercise: It's always good. I just do a lot of walking/jogging.

But out of curiosity, say someone wants to build up their arm muscles a little. Now, the process of weight lifting is basically "eventually you damage the muscle, so the body repairs it, especially if you have plenty of protein, and then the repairs make the muscle bigger." So my question:

Would deliberate muscle damage, such as repeatedly clotheslining a metal pole or something, be a quick and easy (if moderately painful) way to get the desired effect? Because it takes far too long for my arms to show even the slightest sign of working out, and my impatience generally means I'll give up on any scheduled thing within a few days.

On WoW being smarter than WotC: I'd congratulate them, but those are really low expectations.

Oh, and:

In other words, it you expect a lot out of the fighter that the game didn't intend him to be capable of, the fighter seems underpowered.

Yeah, stuff like "contributing to the party when fighting level-appropriate foes and facing other challenges of any kind." They were made for that kind of stuff.

Waesel: You speak the truth.

[Fuzzy_logic]

Count, if you don't think you're attractive nobody else wil.

I don't necessarily mean physically. I mean, if you don't think of yourself as someone with interesting things to say, someone exciting to be around, you're naturally going to withdraw and not draw attention to yourself. Furthermore, when someone is into you, you wil either think less of them (and you can't have a relationship with someone you don't respect) or you will find it so weird that you'll get awkward.

You have to love yourself before anybody else can.

[JonSetanta]

If you can't fix your body, work on your mind.

edit: Here's the advice/stories I wrote, moved to off-topic section. It's long.

Ideally, developing yourself and becoming mroe attractive pretty much go together. You generally want to be with someone who shares your values, who cares about at least some of the things you care about. So follow your passions, and hopefully you'll find someone else passionate about them.

Plus, if you do what you love, you'll be happy and enthusiastic, and people find that energy attractive.

If you are worried about physical appearance, though, I recommend taking a look at your wardrobe. It's no substitute for exercise, but many men pay very little attention to what they wear. If you're one of them, consider investing some energy in figuring out what you look good in. It's a small effort to make yourself look much better, and ideally some benefits of dressing better carry over to nonromantic interactions...

Also, erase the word "trollop" for your vocabulary...

[Maj]

1) Ditch the "poor me" attitude. It's ugly and only works so deep. Once people become exhausted by it, they'll stop talking to you.

2) Stop thinking you're worthless. It's also ugly and doesn't work to accomplish anything except feeding your "poor me" behavior.

3) Stop automatically assuming that any female who talks to you is a trollop. It's yet another form of ugly, and anyone who does actually care about you will eventually come to resent that assumption - you are, in essence, telling any woman who loves you that she's a piece of shit for doing so.

4) Know what you want. If you have no goal in mind, you're seriously on the road to wherever you end up. Coincidentally enough, drifting is ugly, too. Get control of your life and determine where you're going, then work at getting there.

For someone who doesn't want to work hard to have women magically fall for him, you sure are working hard to make sure that women won't fall for you. I'm assuming that's deliberate since elsewhere, you've stated outright that you aren't interested. And if that's really the case, would you please shut up about your lack of ability to catch women, since you don't want to?
