Yes, it's absolute truth. Just wait.

Men look like they want to take home what they see. When Women look, we are merely trying to see if we 1. Know the person 2. If she's prettier then us. 3. If it's a cute guy...they just glance...but no more then that.

I look at another women to check out if she is better looking than my gf.

Man, this one with Guns'N'Roses style music - like Estranged or Yesterdays. I can almost hear it. Can I propose some music (chords) for it? ;-)

But the important thing is that you've learned from your past mistakes, right?

Actually the real question here is - "learned what???".

I have bumped this thread in anger and frustration to say that love and romance can bite me!

You and me both, man...you and me both!

IMHO, there is no such thing as fate. The thing is that world is built using too many variables for humans to track them and since they don't know all of them it's impossible to explain them - that's why they called this - a fate.

The same was with how religions started to exist - people were unable to explain what was happening so it must have been the "act of god(s)".

Then what's stopping you, okie? Go ahead and start the topic off with your picture! lol

I need a critical mass to start it ;-).

Somehow I don't think many would participate.

I'm sure they wouldn't ;-). But I would definitely...

Hehe, we could even make a thread - the ugliest ENA members and make a voting out of it ;-). I'm sure at least some of us would participate.

Kyo,

one more thing - from my experience - it might be different in other parts of the world: 90% of the girls will ditch you as soon as they see you if you're ugly - I know it, I went through it myself. From that 10 % left, 5% will just want to play with you for a while (have nothing better to do in their life), 3% will be crazy, but those 2% will rock your world, believe me.

Okie

But still can't claim how Okie is ugly because he is affraid of posting his pic to Syrix

 

I don't want to be litigated for emotional pain by you after seeing my photo or in person

If I was not blessed with being physically attractive despite what I have tried, what else can I do? Unfortunately, I cannot watch my friends talk to women with an unbiased thought in my head because they are good looking. I need to find a less than attractive guy and see how he does it. How do the average guys get women? I don't know. Some could be circumstance. Some could be years of courting.

Here is the big difference - good looking guys attarct girls by using their looks and only thing they need to do is back it up with something to keep them.

Ugly guys like you and me have to do much more work first to attract the girls and if that happens, to keep them. Kyo, I am ugly but had 2 really good looking girlfrineds (one for 4 years and other a lot shorter). Syrix can tell you that they were really good looking ones. The thing is that I've never ever saw any girl instantly attracted to me by my looks. It always need a lot more effort getting to know them without "dating" - just friends and later you might get a shot to build on that friendship if possible.

That is the way how it goes. And no, I'm not shy - I can approach any girl I'm interested in but because I'm not really attracted to looks, I never do that because if she looks pretty it does not mean she is attractive to me.

I know what could help you...but if i say it i will get banned probably...;-)image removed

Hm...bad day?

I questioned the very same thing in my PM Kioshiro.....

 

I question myself the very same thing almost every day - how do they do it and I can't?!? I guess I'm below average. I hope that plastic surgery will help me

If I was basing this on a few years of what I have seen, then I'd agree with you. But I have seen these examples of good looking guys vs. me year after year after year since 4th grade, so we are talking about 24 years. And it hits close to home since my closest friends are the examples. I would think that once I grew up, I'd see differently since there are more things to a human being as they get older. But no.

Well, what Kyo says is a fact. I didn't want to join this rant but some responses are pissing me off a bit so I will respond. Let's take my cousin here in the play who is really good looking guy. He never had any problems getting girls, even his wife approached him. She is good looking, funny, smart and really good person. And he? He is a good looking guy; a guy that flunked out of high school because he's too stupid to finish it; a guy that can't keep the job for more than 6 months because he's lazy. When he is at home he just watches tv, never does anything. She is the one that earnes money and brings food to the table. OMG, he even farts when having dinner no matter if other people are around. So, he is "zero" except being good looking and he gets super-great-wife with no sweat at all. That is the only quality he has and seems that is the most important one.

So guys, seems all other of us are pretty doomed but not sure if giving up is a choice....I've never been a quitter so I won't quit now also..

O.k. I am going to ingore okie now...and going to concentrate to give a good answer.

Oh come on - like you could ignore me.... LOL

I just thought of this right now, but I was just wondering about this, what gender can get dates easier...males or females?? It seems to me that females can get more dates than males, then again that may be too general of a statement being that I'm a male who hasn't had a lot of dates. I dunno, what do you think?

How does it really matter? Are you thinking of gender change? The thing is to play with cards you got...

you're right that looks do matter, but as other people have said, there are more important things.

I would really like to comment on this - I am ugly but I have a really beautiful and really smart girl. I don't base myself on my looks, I have different things that make me important so even if I'm ugly that does not define me. So, work on your strong sides (and you do have some for sure) and things will be just fine....

but everytime a breakdown someone has to help me back up.

 

i'm not comfortable around anyone...just my boyfriend. and people seem to think i'm mean because of that.

someone always has to be there for me. i'm always uncomfortable with my body or my clothes or my looks or how i don't know how to do things... i don't even know how to act around people

 

sometimes i just don't see a reason.

if i can't enjoy life and i'm a burden to everyone i know... its hard to go on.

 

but really i'm trying.

Hi Venga,

I totally understand what you ment by this post. I'm going through it for more than a year now and I even thing I'm stupid for not giving up but I'm still trying even if things are actually not getting better. It must get better sometime, don't you think? It can't be just all bad for us. Let's just keep trying...

I will be in your position tomorrow night.... ;-). I hope it will go good.

An update - it went great. I thought I forgot how to kiss a girl. Yeah, right

Picks!

 

Ok, ok. You can get nail hardener. It really does work. Cheap, find it in any drug store or even grocery store with the rest of the nail polish and such.

I can't use picks because I'm playing classics so I need to use all 5 fingers on the right hand. I will look for nail hardener. Thx.

I have seen these little metal ring thingies in music shops, they are a bit like fake nails u can wear for picking with ur fingers instead of using your nails. They just slip on around the end of ur fingers and look like u have little claws...pretty kool

 

I have those but can't use them on concert playing classics. It's ok when playing some harder stuff

I don't believe that dreams mean anything. It's just your brain processing some stuff you're not processing while awake. I still dream about my ex sometimes and it's been almost 8 months so I think there is no rule when you should stop dreaming about her or that it has any real meaning. It's just that you didn't forgot her...

Hi all!

I have a big problem - I'm a guitar player (no, that is not the problem ) and the thing is that my fingernails are breaking every time they are longer than 3 milimeters over the finger. I need them a bit longer for playing. What can I do to protect nails from breaking?

Okie

I'm sure I would not - that would show to ex that he/she can do it again and again and will have me waiting for them whatever happens. It's a sure way to hell.
