We are at the 'shaky I talk to her sometimes when she's not in the damn gossip circle of near doom or just surrounded by five friends' stage. So the whole asking thing would be a step, I think. I was about to at the last dance, but she was again in the circle of near doom thing. As my friend puts it so bluntly, 'Asking a girl is like taking an interview. If you don't do well, well, there are many more 'jobs' out there to go for. So just go for it.' So, thanks for the advice, I'll see what I can do with it. |

Sounds like you need a wingman...or a flight of them, social groups like this always make it really hard to communicate with someone on a 1 on 1 basis, catch her when she has the least number of people around her then bring in your reinforcements (have them call away each of her bodyguards one by one until its just her and one other engage her in a conversation with one of your friends so he can distract her wingmate that is if you can get her alone with only one which shouldn't be too hard) This sounds like a high school grade issue, see if you can't get a teacher to help you out. Oh yeah and one more thing don't sound nervous when you do talk to her, grab all the testicular fortitude you possess and take a chance, borrow some from your friends if you must. |

when youv'e been throgh some of the things iv'e been through you would probably think that i'd be a nervous wreck but i tend to laugh at everything, even if it is inappropriate and horrible but it's better to laugh |

Because that would make us vulnerable, and most guys that haven't been essentially emasculated by living in safety and comfort all their lives are well schooled in the fact that vulnerabilities are extremely bad things for strangers to know of. |

1. Depends on the girl, and the situation. If she's someone I'm on first-name basis with, the only difference makeup makes is that it tells me she's going out somewhere nice (or maybe to an important shareholder meeting). If she's expecting me to slip a twenty in her garter belt while she gyrates on a pole in her underwear, she'd better be all dolled up. |

1. Depends. If it is a formal occasion then it is acceptable. If it is around casual areas such as the mall/school too much will make the girl look like a cheap hooker. |

1. I don't mind make up, just like I don't mind piercings, As long as it's in moderation. I don't think that having 60kg of foundation on makes you look pretty, I just think you look like a clown. 2. It's not that it isn't okay, it's just that pride be a pow'rful thing, and whit guys it's generally a general consensus that we don't touch eachother unless it's something to do with a joke.... or football, I don't play football, perhaps they just enjoy touching hairy sweaty men? Who knows? 3. I get emotional all of the time, but I hardly ever cry. It's harder for guys to cry about stuff because we bottle it up for some reason. And from personal experience it takes something big for me to get teary. Yet it seems like girls cry at the drop of a hat? hope that kind of helped? |

Some nice friends you've got. Where I'm from showing emotion around friends and people you know reasonably well is okay, and yes, I've seen most of my friends crying at least once. But then again, we're a pretty close group without any hierarchy or leadership. We don't bully one other around, we don't bring each other down, we have no need of bragging and we don't stab backs. I get emotional pretty often, but mostly I don't show it by crying. I just shut down. Some people don't understand it and may perceive this as cold or unemotional, but it's just how I naturally handle stuff. |

I like a fair mix, preferably a girly girl with tomboy tendencies. |

Doesn't matter. Girly girls are cuter, Tomboys are more interesting. |

If you think about it, sports people are WIRED to the brim with Testosterone. Probably talking out my ass here, but maybe they're just less fussy. I do like a bit of a tomboy myself. I find things a lot more friendly when you let out loud fart at the dinner table, only to see the girl opposite, instead of yelling at you or being disgusting, lean sideways and let a bigger one rip. As for someone who sits at a computer a lot of the time, I'm naturally after a partner who does that too, and I see Tomboy's whacking me down with the old Soldier Crit rocket than I do girly-girls. |
Paperboy  Posts: 40 Joined: 2 May 2008 | i suppose it depends on the girl. Now let me quantify this with examples! 1. I have friends (who are also my ex's) that are brunette, and are stunning 2. I find redheads to be either stunning or horrendous, case in point: Christina Hendricks (drool) or some skank down the chippy (fish and chip selling restaurant (bleugh) 3. An ex of mine (also a very dear friend) is a 6ft tall leggy platinum blonde (and it's natural) and she is one of the kindest and most genuine people i know, not to mention incredibly smart (and i mean focking smart!) however she is far more promiscuous than my other friends....but is this just her? is it most blondes? is it social conditioning? 4. I guess overall, the question is what is YOUR personal preference? 5. So in answer to your question: *she has to be hot as long as the carpets match the drapes it's all good! |

I don't mind if the carpet doesn't match the drapes, as long as the coloring is in good taste (I don't mind different colors like blue or green as long as it isn't overly bright/fluorescent) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1203 Joined: 9 Dec 2007     | To the 'you need a wingman sentiments': I ultimately agree with such an idea. However, certain precautions have to be taken occasionally. Sure, you might be encouraged to take someone of a lesser calibre than yourself along - that way you look better by comparison alone. Although in my experience, taking less popular friends with you to aid in such situations between you and the potential-in-question can be somewhat disastrous if not dealt with right: If he is too weird, or has not had enough female contact in his own life, then the situation becomes even more awkward, as you'll just have an overly-nervous, inefficient, third wheel stood next to you throughout the situation: Bad thymes. On the flip side, if you take someone as good as looking or as charming as yourself (or even more so) to help with ice-breaking or distractions; they may end up stealing your very own thunder. Surely, in such a situation, it would be you which would be looking like the strange guy hanging on, as covered in the first paragraph - especially by comparison with your far superior friend. The point is, wingmen can be useful; but pick them well. |
BANNED Posts: 55 Joined: 21 May 2008 | Well when I was envisioning the situation I realized that there is a fair chance that when you break up the crowd the potential-in-question almost invariably will end up following one of the "bodyguards" and the wingman is there to peel that last one away.

In my experience, most tomboys are girly girls at heart. Or lesbians. But to answer the question properly, I prefer girly girls who understand men. |

i dont like the really girly girl who loves pink and glittery shit, and i dont like the extreme tomboy either, i prefer a sort of combination, which has proved to be impossible so far |
Beat Writer Posts: 162 Joined: 22 Nov 2007 | My ex was a girly girl, my current girlfriend is a programmer/gamer with a tiny soft spot for cute stuff. They're also completely different in the looks department. All that stuff really isn't that important, as long as there's attraction. |

First of all: Stop being a dickhead, dipshit. Second of all: A mate is someone you kid around with, someone you know is just taking a piss with ya, when he is "attacking your sore spot". I'm sure that what was meant was something like a mate just teasing you a bit, not bullying anyone. That's not what mates do, in case you were that predujice against your own sex. And now braggin is brought down too? You mention bragging in the same sentence as backstabbing and bringing each other down. What are you? An idiot? It's healthy to poke fun at stuff, to brag, have a laugh with your mates. There is no bloody reason not to. -- If you've seen almost all of your friends cry at least once, that's great, but that's also very weird. Some of my life-long mates, I haven't seen cry since kindergarten. The only time I cried myself, that I can remember, is when I watched Armageddon. If you watched the movie, you know what I'm talking about. And even then, I only believe it was half a tear, or something. "Now you're bragging. And you are certainly proud of not crying" Hell no, you tit, but I must confess that I don't get the whole "Crying is healthy" thing, instead you can be damn sure that I cry when I send off my son/daughter from home. Not that I have children yet, but you can be bloody sure that I will. You attack Tatter for no reason, call his friends backstabbers. In all honesty, excuse me if I got this wrong, you are either in a very feminine social group, and is feminine yourself, you're homosexual (I guess I just assume homosexuals are more feminine. I don't have anything against anyone with those sexual preferences, do what you want, as long as you don't try and rape me :D), or you are just very weird. Pardon moi, my two cents. |

Beat Writer Posts: 134 Joined: 25 Apr 2008 |
No children, or early teenagers like beer. I've been drinking beer since I was 13 years old, having tasted it a few times prior to that. I started liking it when I was 15, I think. It's social, it's cheap, it's awesome when you start actually enjoying it. At this point, I enjoy loads of different beer, and I never buy cheap ones anymore. Beer is god. |

I don't like most alcohol for that exact same reason. I simply cannot stand the taste of the stuff, and even a slight aftertaste is enough to stop me from trying a drink. Then again I'm teetotal 99.99% of the time, and have merely decided to kill off my tastebuds with curry rather than beer. It helps to be sober when you're a LAN admin, although when you're the only sober LAN admin and the others are getting drunk cause it's a birthday one... At least they drank themselves into a stupor. |

I agree beer tastes like ass...until you get used to it I know this because I used to hate beer the stuff was horrible then after about 1 case of it it became tolerable when I didn't have any hard liquor to drown my sorrows with, after about 2 cases it actually started tasting pretty good, note this was 2 cases over the course of several years not all at once. as for the whole crying thing I've cried once in the past decade and that was when my life long dream went to shit (pardon my language) I had dreamed most of my life to drive a tank into battle and when I finally did get to the point where I could do so I ended up with a bunch of horrible people lording over me and there wasn't a thing I could do about it except get so stressed out that I couldn't hold down a meal to save my life. I love tanks I liked repairing them and driving them around and putting big bullets down range, the smell of the gun firing was borderline orgasmic, and I really liked working worth them but I hated working with the people involved in doing all of that. I cried because all my life I wanted to be a mecha pilot and that is the closest modern equivalent and I lost my opportunity to do it because the higher ups didn't like the fact that I am really smart compared to normal people. |

Just how old are you? You're slapping down Quistnix's opinion and you're attacking him. Read his post carefully, He didn't attack Tatter; he stated that he didn't like Tatter's friends' behaviour. There is little reason to get so upset about it and calling him names for that. Stop it, please. |
Even if you have never talked to her before, if you are interested even in the slightest you have to open up communication eventually, so what if you don't get to go to this dance you are making valuable headway in starting a relationship, even if its only friendship.
