You need to work on your manipulation/people skills, Toecutter.

Whoa whoa whoa there, Frank Grimes.

Take a breath and calm down. The world's out to get you only if you think it is, and more importantly, only if you LET it get you. Relax, focus (hard!) on what would make you happy in the small scale world that is your life, and go for it, ignoring everything else or fighting it as needed.

Pick your battles to fight.

As for moving to Israel, that might be a good idea. Go over there, join a kibbutz (which are usually on the more conservative side), and be a part of a community.

I am pretty sure KPC is not a [typical manipulative] women at all and rather is of the male persuasion. Thus...I will venture a guess and say he'd be rather unreceptive of your french kiss in the first place...as would most real women

To KhayotiK:

I have no social skills, because I have been stuck in an anti-social population of peers all my life (even in my science and tech high school, where all the girls were heterophobic). Due to my lack of social interaction, and my strong work ethic of having nothing interfere with the task at hand, I have the social skills of a tree stump.

I highly doubt that. Do you know what it's like to want to dismember someone you don't even know, just for being in your 3' personal bubble, or staring at you funny? I have constant migraines and stomach aches because I restrain myself from beating the crap out of the sons of bitches who piss me off day to day. It has taken every fiber of my being to keep my cool when my asst. manager at work pushes me around, steals my money, and then bad-mouths me in Spanish, so I supposedly don't understand what she's saying. There's nothing more I would enjoy, than emptying a couple high-capacity magazines into theses sons of bitches. The only thing that keeps me from doing it, is the miniscule part of my brain that tells me it is wrong to kill.

Since I dont know if your a girl or guy, I will respond to this in two ways:

If your a girl: If its really that bad, I would complain to a higher up manager. No one has to tolerate that kind of behavior in the work place. It is harrasement and unfair to you when you are trying to work.

If your a guy: Where is your pride? Your a guy being picked on by a girl! Unless she's a very muscalur woman I see no reason why she is picking on you. Its almost laughable.

Ok now to the topic at hand, Nice guys finish last because people who are nice general give up on opportunaties that a more aggresive person would go after. As far as getting dates go, girls aren't looking for guys who will just give up in order to be nice. They are looking for someone who they can have a good time with. Someone who can entertain them and stimulate them (not really sexually most the time). If I personally just sat around waiting for the perfect girl to step into my life, it would never happen. I go out and talk with people, I go out on dates and the date doesn't have to be with someone Im in love with just someone who is interesting and could possibly have a good time with. Hell the other day I saw a girl at the mall and talked with her for 20 minutes or so as we shopped and asked her out on a date, Not because I loved her but because we wanted to have a good time. The whole "Nice guys finish last" statement should really be changed to "The guys who do good things but expect good things in return finish last". Im not trying to say be bad because most people dont want that. You should be nice but with spice, to walk on the wild side gives you that edge that people look for in a person. This philosophy has worked for me my entire life, I have gotten great oppurtunities and gone out with dozens of women, not because I was incredibly good looking but because I was an interesting person who knew when to take chances.

WAHAHAHAHA....this thread should have ending a long time ago.....why cant you guys like save this crap for Live Journal or something. People cant understand these kinds of things even if you scream it to their face, let alone if they read it on a page. They have to find this shit out through their own personal experiences. Stop wasting time trying to lecture people on what cant be taught, trying to make yourselves look like Teh All Knowing Master of Life or something. And yeah I am a hypocrite cause in a moment of weakness I participated in this thread earlier, but atleast I admit and learned from mistake.
