If you do not have any female friends, should you take it personally?

<p>**** off</p>

<p>Maybe you should listen to your own advice.</p>

<p>Why would I need your advice to listen to my own advice.</p>

<p>Thanks to the people who contributed to this thread. Thanks TA for having an intelligent post. Everyone else can suck it.</p>

<p>Christ, is this thread still going? You have your advice; put down the Krispy Kremes, clean the drool off your chin, and go out and be good at something.</p>

<p>“Christ, is this thread still going? You have your advice; put down the Krispy Kremes, clean the drool off your chin, and go out and be good at something.”</p>

<p>QFT.</p>

<p>Seriously, man, grow a pair and stop telling people to **** off just because you don’t have to motivation to follow their advice.</p>

<p>I shouldn’t come to a forum where half the people spend their lives on the computer and ask for advice. That is what I get from this. My thread wasn’t even asking for advice in the first place.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Stop being an attention whore little ***** and maybe the world will start spinning again.</p>

<p>Incidence #2 of Darko needing to take his own advice…</p>

<p>To reply to your thread title alone (and not your myriad of problems that have been exhibited throughout this thread), no you shouldn’t take it personally. Women are very boring creatures to have as friends and the interesting ones rarely care about you. I try to have as few female friends as possible. Have you ever been in a relationship where you find your partner really interesting and you love hearing about their stories and can talk for hours on end, but when you break it off you find that they never have anything interesting to say and were actually pretty boring people in the first place? </p>

<p>Yeah, that’s because women suck as friends.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s true. Most of the people here are in the same boat, so they shouldn’t even be talking. Honestly, this is the wrong place to go for advice on anything like this because this place is full of arrogant nerds who think they’re perfect. Forget them and know that you can do it.
I can’t find any particular forums as I don’t really spend much time on the Internet anymore, but here is a good website I found: [Succeed</a> Socially.com | Free social skills advice](<a href=“http://www.succeedsocially.com%5DSucceed”>http://www.succeedsocially.com) It covers just about everything.</p>

<p>P.S. You’re welcome. I’m glad I can help, but remember to actually follow through with it if you believe my suggestions will work.</p>

<p>Edit: I mean to actually ask questions on such things in the first place, not advice. What the hell does anyone here really know about this stuff anyway? Let me answer for you: ****</p>

<p>I have plenty of female friends and am well enough off with women romantically - I’m not some sort of womanizer or ladies’ man but I’m getting better through the years and I catch women’s interest easily these days. And no, I’m not good-looking, or remotely wealthy, or freakishly tall.</p>

<p>Yet it’s funny that TA and Darko agree with each other because they have the same worldview and experiences it seems — seeing women as some mysterious, mystical porcelain entities. Listen, they crap, they fart, they have insecurities, and they get horny just like any other human being on this planet. There’s no great mystery.</p>

<p>That being said, it’s not that unusual not to have any female friends. It’s because in some cases, it’s easier to relate with other guys (duh). However, I’m guessing you are also probably trying to go after hot chicks to have as female friends because you want to screw them. There’s nothing wrong with that, but you might as well pursue them romantically than trying to make some go-nowhere friendship. Because either she’s interested in you romantically or she’s not, and if she’s not, she won’t want you hitting on her even if you’re her best friend. (By the way, one of my good friends - who is an average guy like the rest of us - just made out with/ hooked up with some girl after an hour or two of meeting her. He is now dating her. IT TOOK ONE OR TWO HOURS. This girl apparently had a “great friend” for months who finally started pawing her/ trying to “date her” after she became recently single a few weeks back — listen, if it doesn’t happen in a relatively short amount of time, it’s not gonna happen. The friendship route SUCKS.)</p>

<p>Girls can also sniff out if you’re interested in them, 9 times out of 10. The hot girls you’re trying to ‘befriend’ probably realize you want to screw them and have no real interest in this alleged “friendship” you’re trying to sell them.</p>

<p>Another possibility is that you merely want to be seen around “attractive women” to either “appear cool” or to spark jealously/ win admiration from other women. Again, if you go this route you will probably make for a pretty terrible friend and the “friendship” won’t last long.</p>

<p>Why don’t you just try to enjoy the company of women? You can have the maturity to realize that not every woman on this planet wants to shag you, and realize that <em>that</em> is okay (really), and so you can form a friendship with one (which can be rewarding on its own) and erase thoughts of trying to pork her.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Um, no. I’m a girl and I have plenty of friends of both genders with varying looks. It was never hard for me to talk to guys and I always found it much easier to get along with them.</p>

<p>I never said anything about getting girls, sex, or dating. Next time, read the entire thread. Everyone is not caricatures or categories to slip into.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, I posted this in another thread:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s why assuming is silly.</p>

<p>What’s wrong with wanting certain friends? There is only one game and you either play or you don’t. Don’t sit at the sidelines thinking you’re unique or special because you’ll only miss out and lose at the end. That’s my point. </p>

<p>BTW, you’re playing the game, Peter. So what’s the issue again?</p>

<p>So let me see if I understand — basically you’re just saying that everything people do socially is some vain, reprehensible, or maybe just plain matter-of-fact silly effort to climb “the great social hierarchy.”</p>

<p>Eh, maybe to some extent, but I think that’s overly simplified. Maybe women enjoy that game more than men. Men just try to climb that superficial hierarchy (or pander to some subculture, like at nightclubs) … merely either 1. to have sex. ----- or, more commonly, 2. try to alleviate that burning hole in their ego and self-esteem (if I sleep with enough hot chicks, things will be different! I will be complete!)</p>

<p>But some of us have realized that–</p>

<p>A. You don’t need to fuss over “the popular game” to have sex with hot women at all.</p>

<p>B. Sometimes sex is just not f’ing worth the effort. Honestly. I’m busting my balls this much when I can just go and masturbate for 1/10th the effort? Eh…</p>

<p>I guess I am playing the game of blindly following my biological impulses and trying to have sex with people while silumatenously feeding my random, constantly unsatisfied ego. Can you blame a dog for being a dog? lol</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The popular, pretty, or rich people have the best opportunities and the best parties. The best careers go to these people unless others bust their ass and get lucky along the way. Even then, what makes anyone else think they’ll hit the lucky draw? </p>

<p>I’m not for using people, but people want to gravitate to the best for a reason. It’s not far fetched and if one feels they have a chance they should go for it.</p>

<p>I know that socializing is for fun and meeting common ground with people, but another major aspect people are missing is networking</p>

<p>If all of your friends are ugly or considered socially undesirable for whatever reason, it is perfectly normal to wonder if there is something you are doing wrong. I’m not saying to ditch those people if you’re happy with them, but remember that they are considered that way for a reason.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Nope. If that’s what makes you happy, good for you. It’s not just about sex for most people, it’s about getting the most out of life in general.</p>

<p>you’re in engineering and you go to GaTech. I’m sure things will get better after you graduate.</p>

<p>Peter, I admire you’re De Angelo style attitude you bring to this thread but getting girls to have sleep with you is not what I had intended to discuss. Although it might be relevant seeing as girls generally want to sleep/be around with guys who are higher up “the ladder”.</p>

<p>What I originally intended is what you described in your second post about superficial hierarchy. If you are low in this so-called game that everyone plays, should you take it personally. Of course ultimately you decide yourself what you do in the world is important and matters. But does that mean you should totally dismiss this ladder?</p>

<p>Don’t take anything personally. I mean everyone has there ups and downs and is not like everyone can get the same amount of girls. You may have more disadvantages than those other people. However, some of those disadvantages can be fixed so fix them if you can. If you can’t fix other disadvantages, learn how to get along with those disadvantages. I mean there are probably some things in life you cannot fix (or not yet) so my best suggestion is to learn to live with it and sort things out from that perspective.</p>

<p>No. </p>

<p>Even now, insanely attractive people are still friends with people who are…less attractive. It just depends on whether or not they run in the same social circles and their personalities mesh. This is especially true for girls–at least myself and the ones I know. The guy doesn’t have to be attractive if I’m not thinking about dating him, I just have to like him as a friend. </p>

<p>I have this one clear ex. in my head of this guy Jared who isn’t physically attractive to most, myself included, but he has the most kickass personality of anyone I’ve ever met. We could just hang out, one on one and have a great time. And most of his friends are girls, so… </p>

<p>So if I were you, I’d question whether there was something about me personality-wise that girls didn’t find to be attractive. </p>

<p>Then again, I probably wouldn’t be thinking this hard about it anyway.</p>

<p>There are probably tons of guys out there with great personalities who don’t have any female interaction. I don’t think personality has much to do with it. And physical attraction=/hierarchy status (though in college it can come pretty close)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Most of his friends are girls…interesting.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I was probably pretty bored when I started this, something to think about nonetheless.</p>
