Well, I'm now single (relax ladies
). My wife and I seperated and I thought it would be good for me to get some dating tips from the guys AND gals (I know, "stay off of the religious forums! He he hehehe"). So any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here's some questions I had in mind:
Where's the best place to meet other single people? I've heard the laundramat was good.
What makes a good date? Dinner & a movie? Walk in the park?
What does everyone think about younger vs. older girls (guys)? I'm 30.
What about these internet dating services? I think they're a load. Anyone have any luck?
Do women really prefer jerks? I'm kind of nerdy and I don't know if a nerdy jerk would be very attractive.
Should I "just be myself"? A friend told me that I shouldn't talk about nerdy things to women I'm interested in. I'm convinced though that it doesn't matter what you talk about but how you carry yourself.
I have next to no style when it comes to clothes. Any advice there?
Thanks in advance!! :help:
I'm always happy to share wisdom:
1) Every place is an oppurtunity to meet women. The mall, bars, grocery store, etc. You just gotta make them oppurtunities. Personally I find waitresses are easy to conversate with. I've dated a few. Dance classes are also good because you HAVE to interact with women. :dan:
2) Me personally, I don't do anything cliche' like movies or dinner. At least not on the first date. I always try to be original and set myself apart from the rest of the guys. First couple of dates I usually have conversation at a coffe shop or some place were there's not going to be a lot of loud noise or distraction. I try to get the know the person and see if she's what I'm looking for.
3) I'm 24 so I my age range varies. I do know a lot of younger girls like older guys.
4) Internet dating services work. I met my last serious relationship on there. She lived in my area. Even talked about marriage at one point. Unfotunatley for me I got screwed the worst possible ways imaginable....which I'm still feeling the effects of (Maybe I'll share it sometime). But, I'm giving internet dating another shot. But I've notice since I tried internet dating that it's friggin expensive now. If you're willing to shell out the cash, then it's definatley worth while. I don't pay anything. I'm on webdate.com. Internet dating definatley works
5)Jerks? No. Confidence? Yes. Women go for jerks a lot because jerks are confident about themselves and don't act insecure. You've gotta adopt the mentality that you're are the hottest thing walkin the earth. Don't act needy. BIG turn-off.
6) What you said is right. It doesn't matter what you talk about, it matters how you carry yourself. Be yourself and be comfortable with who you are. Don't give yourself a label like nerd. Chicks will like you regardless of what you like or what you do. And if they don't, show 'em the door
There was a phrase I heard somewhere that said "It's a womens job to try and change you. It's the mans job not to let that happen" Hot women especially try to do this. Don't cater to them too much and always do things on your terms.
I play videogames, read comics, watch Kung- Fu movies, you know.....all of those "nerdy" things. I don't have a problem with women. Why? Because I'm me and I'm not going to stop what I like doing just to get some tail. Take me or leave me.
7) Dress sharp. Always try and look your best. It's not so much what you where but how well you keep up with yourself. Nice clothes don't hurt though.
Most importantley, just be yourself. Don't rush into anything and just let things happen. Don't treat women different than anyone else. Remember your a stud. Or as I like to say "I'm prime rib and all of these other guys are McDonald's Happy meals. You can have the best dinner you can imagine, or you can play with the free toy"
