I beg to differ kind sir. After using the line from the pick-up thread about nice shoes, the only way I could describe that glass being smashed against my face would be painful.
Well...I suppose there is a certain amount of tact required!!! lol "Nice shoes, wanna fuck?" probably won't fit the bill.

I believe everything I read off of the internets. As such, I figured why would anyone stir me wrong. Next up I'm going to be trying the "Chinese" line. I'll let you know how it goes.
"The leads are weak!"
"The leads are weak? Fuckin' leads are weak? You're Weak! I've Been in this business 15 years"
well I guess this thread is kinda stupid. I've just been thinking a lot lately that some day I am going to want to date, and since I don't want to do online dating anymore, I have no idea how I would go about meeting anyone. the thought of it really intimidates me because I know I've never met anyone before.
Well there is always alternative online dating. I mean this place is crawling with Bostonians (You are in Boston right?). You wouldnt even have to date them. Making friends with people who could help you get around like minded people in a comfortable environment.

yeah I suppose. I've been on this board for like 8 years and never hung out with anyone before but I suppose there's always a first.
this is really not the point of this thread. I'm not looking for weight loss advice.
Don't worry about Mr. Motivator.. I've seen him do it in other threads as well. To be honest, I think he's a robot.

True, but I just thought it was strange that was the first comment you made about relationships. Be confident. Don't fear rejection. You're a pearl jam fan...so um..."don't save up on life..gotta spend it."

well unfortunately, it is my first thought when it comes to relationships. I don't think it's a coincidence that I started dating when I was 25, the same year I didn't eat anything and became exercise bullemic. Sad fact of life.
hell when i was single if a woman came over to me and started to talk to me that made me feel like a king, and i would never brush them away ,you should of gone over to him and said hello ....

Not a 'fact of life'. At all. Not every guy out there is so shallow.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
I suppose I should be offended. If you seriously have an issue, feel free to pm me. .
I didn't say it to offend you. I've got better things to do. I did, however, wish to make a point, which I did.. no need for any PMs.

it's not really about guys being shallow, it's more of a general thing. Like you can't date if you don't have any clothes to wear and stuff. And like, once you *know* someone stuff like that doesn't matter as much, but when it comes to trying to meet people it does.

That's why I don't go to bars to meet people. My wheelchair doesn't make for a good first impression (before you argue against that, I've got enough evidence). I find online is a good place to meet people.. then there's no physicality bullshit to get in the way. People get to know you on your own merits. But whatever... internet, bar... doesn't matter; you have to be open to the fact that many guys don't want a stick thin girl anyway.

As a guy, I know that there are men on both sides of the attractive issue. To the point of the original post: If you never take the chance you'll never know if you'll click in any fashion.

I wouldn't argue with that at all. I think online dating has it's huge merits when it comes to stuff like this.

I agree with that and it's not really a concern because I could never be "stick thin" even if I were anorexic (underneath everything, I'm just huge and it's always going to be that way)...but looking out of shape is something I can't live with. I would never want to meet a guy and have his first impression of me be that I'm lazy and like to eat. I don't want *anyone's* first impression of me to be that. and right now if you look at me, that's going to be your first impression.
I've rarely just looked at some girl in a bar and started a random conversation...that's typically just too awkward for me. I usually wait for a natural exchange to happen.
Consequently, I haven't picked up too many women from bars.

I think this raises another question, which is then, how do you meet people? Because I agree, I don't think a bar or any other random public place is likely.
Personally I've always just been really bad at meeting people in general. I'm always the last to make friends in any new situation. And I never find myself around available men on top of it.

I was/am always bad at meeting people, and ended up in a few work-related relationships, which was incredibly stupid
The internet has ruined everyone's social skills. This is the truth. I can't believe how many people here just don't understand the concept of speaking to the opposite sex. It's so weird. Our parents and our parents' parents never had Match.com or craigslist or whatnot. They got together through the oldest communication skill known to man, speech.
For people older than 25, if this is a new concept to you...it's a bit sad.
Sure, it's tough, but I mean the more you talk to people your chances only increase.

Thank God for Craigslist! I can't tell you how embarrassing it was listening to my dad take out classified ads looking to join a "key party"!!!

Well, I'm not saying a bar is a bad place to meet people. I've met people that way...I just don't force it, that's all. There's a difference between walking up to some random person and saying "Hi I'm ____, what's up?" and waiting for a more appropriate time to start a convo.

I wouldn't go up to a strange guy either and I wouldn't have clue what to say.
I'm glad I could be helpful.
