Maybe if you stopped seeking attention in the form of pity, you would get more quality attention. So, in essence, all you want is some affection? Reread stinkfoot's and my posts and you will find plenty of tips on how to change yourself to be someone people will actually want to offer affection. The problem isn't other people. The problem is you, and your perception of yourself. You think you're the scum of the earth? So will most others. You think you're top shit? So will most others. Stop pissing and moaning and take action. True cliche: Happiness is a choice, not an event.
JimmyP is awesome. Everything he said is right on. That plate over the head and frying pan thing was bad ass. If you had put it on youtube, I'd bet you'd have 5 stars and lots of attention from ladies. Oh, BTW, a simple, yet important little detail: smile & make eye contact. Women often gauge a man's approachability by these two things. If you have a stoic face and avoid eye contact, she'll assume you don't want to talk to her. And also, like JimmyP said... don't talk to women like you were talking in here. Unless she's a drunk English professor, it's not likely to work. You have to bring your frequency down a few megahertz so their radios can actually pick up the signal.
this is the first time i've ever heard a man who wasnt transgender say they didnt want to be a man anymore... just throwin it out there...but, I will definitely trade in my vagina for a penis if you're at all interested?!??
My most sincere advice to you is enlist in the Marines. You have entirely too much free time to conjure up all these bullshit issues. Only in fucking America do people have the luxury of suffering these types of debilitating "conditions."
Don't put too much value on the posts aimed at insulting you as they will have that exact effect only on the authors. Not dignifying such nonsense with any response at all seems the best way of dealing with it.
That is usually my policy but he asked for advice. Gently holding his emo hand and validating his dysfunction is doing him no good.
sorry you're right stinkfoot, that was uncharitable of me. to be more constructive, my advice would be not to get so hung up on the issue of gender roles. There are dominant men who go for submissive women, dominant women who go for submissive men, and everything in between. As others have said, what's more important is that you are comfortable in yourself. There is a danger in over-analyzing everything in that ultimately it doesn't get you anywhere apart from giving yourself more of a complex. Just go out, enjoy yourself, and things will follow from that.
I didn't look at your response as entirely a negative thing and frankly am very much in agreement- but there's a light at the end of this psychoanalytical tunnel as complete economic collapse will not only give people something tangible to whine about (not that it helps...) but also will occupy folks minds with survival enough that they will tire out before their brains perpetrate dysfunction. You weren't knocking him down- you offered a means by which discipline can be instilled and the sense of self worth from accomplishing something that is by no means easy- Marine boot camp. No, I'm not crazy about the corporate projects that it appears the military is being used to further but the extraordinarily tough love available only via drill Marine Drill Sergeant is just what some folks need.
I wasn't alluding to any particular response but to his insistence on replying... if people are hell bent on knocking him down the perfect payoff for them would be just such a response as I quoted- it tells them that they pushed a button- which after all is just what some folks aim to do--- it's a kind of troll feeding. You can be tough and no-nonsense without just knocking him down... gotta give him something to think about. Jump start his own brain to figure that the solution to his problem comes from within, not without.
I just spent two weeks on a psych ward. It gave me a chance to look at things from another angle. Communication has become for me a very powerful force in overcoming mental obstacles, It is the best way of healing. Loneliness hurts everyone from time to time. My whimpering was about being alone...but now I realize that I am the middle of a whole internet! So now my whimper has become a howl of joy. Because I am thinking of love and how I can create it.
