No facade. I don't think about how I'd have to be different when I know women will be around. I'm just me.

That's a pretty funny example. However, how you say what you say makes a big of an impact though as what you say. Did you get the reaction you expected?
Yup. And I was 99.99% sure that wasn't the kind of response they were expecting.

What sort of stuff did you say? There's a difference, anyways, between just being a jerk for the sake of being a jerk, and the kind of confidence that's meant to be learned from this page.
I honestly can't remember all that I have said, since I'm not exactly a human voice recorder. If someone does something that I don't like, I'll demonstrate that I'm in control, instead of losing it. However, I don't make a point of being the nastiest jerk around. It's not my style. Examples:
Some person: <insult to Ben/Abbott, or some other comment that might make me look bad.>
Me: <ignore it, sitting or standing there in a cool and collected manner>
- OR -
Me: <Says something that really sets them in their place>
A couple more detailed examples:
Video Game Nerd: Ha ha ...you got OWNED (like after a multiplayer video game)
Me: Just how many hours a day do you play? 5? 10? Also, is there even ONE video game system you don't own?
Some guy: I bet that Ben's/Abbott's a virgin.
Me: <I didn't have a good comeback, so I just sit there like nothing happened.>
You get the idea.

I'm more likely to be called nice than an ass by chicks, but as long as you have confidence, and aren't "acting" nice just to get something, and aren't a doormat, it's no big deal.
I don't do any of those things...it's not my style. I'm the MAN who's in control.
I also do certain things such as open doors, but that's just how I am and what I do (and because I feel like it), not because I feel like I have to do it in order to get some chick.
Plus, acting is a pain in the ass, and being a doormat just makes you feel like crap, as well as makes you seem "less" or not as "good" to other people. So therefore, I don't do those things.
Originally posted by zentraveller The culture of the city/country you're in can make a HUGE difference in terms of increasing/diminishing random (non-skill driven) make-outs and FCs.
To give you an example, I've never NOT hooked up while visiting Manhattan. I once had a very attractive blonde co-ed from Syracuse Univ. grab me on the dance floor...who I tongued her down in about 45 seconds, and she was begging to get F-closed in about 5 minutes while moaning in my ear. I particularly enjoyed her 3 male friends looking at me with hatred while this was taking place.
When I hit nightclubs in the North of Spain every weekend (back in my AFC days), I used to have Spanish chicks come and drag me to meet their girlfriend who fancied my look and style.
On the other hand, I've NEVER gotten this kind of automatic response in the state of California.
Go figure.
Hm...... I wonder how Central Illinois, where I live, stacks up.
Ah well...can't do anything about that, so I guess I just won't worry about it!
