After a long work week, I am watching the Basketball game and I get a call from my best friend, who tells me we are going out. I say, what the hell, let's go. We all decided to go bowling. No problem.

So we get our lane, pick our balls, shoes, things like that and we happened to be sitting next to some decent, yet country, women/girls. They were around 6.5/7.5's body wise but I wasn't attracted by the way they carried themselves, although one of them was flirting with my best friend (there are 3 of us) So they leave, and around 10 mins later, this girl, who was around 21-22 years old, and was very nice looking, around a 8-8.5 face wise (rather slim and no shape) came and asked me how to set up the scorecard (I happened to be sitting at the table), so I showed her ,and her "friends"showed up.


Now I used alot from what I learned from this site to figure a couple of things out: a) She didn't date anyone of them, rather they seemed to be jockying for her attention. b) Although she was nice looking, very nice looking, I caught myself glancing a couple of times, she wasn't by any means a supermodel, but she had been treated like one. Had guys brining her drinks, laughing at her un-funny jokes and so on.

Anyway, I am a VERY good bowler, as so are my friends, on an average game the winner has around 180-190. The first game we bowled I bowled HORRIBLE, around 125, but honestly it was mainly the ball, I kept picking up the wrong ball which was too big and I couldn't control it, therefore I co uldn't pick up spares. Anyway, around the 8th frame I got the energy to put up the balls that wern't ours and I bowled 4 strikes and hit 8 pins down to end the game, bringing my score to 132 (just to let you know how bad it was before that) so I was feeling it, and it carried into the next game, which is when these guys and the girl showed up. So I was going first and she happened to be going first. I let her go first (bowling edquitte) and she gave me a smile, which I wasn't paying any attention about, we play for 20 a game and I didn't want to loose anymore money and I came out HOT, I bowled 4 stikes and 1 spare in the first 5 frames, so needless to say I started talking off at the mouth to my friends. I wasn't being obnixious but some of the stuff I was saying was downright funny. I notied the girl was laughing at some of my jokes, which I though was cool, at least someone was. So around1 min later I hear this guy say "he's not that good" and she says "he has 100 points in the 6th frame and you have 40". so he gets up with me when it's my turn, I guess he is trying to prove apoint, and he gave me this look. I looked back at my friends and they started laughing so hard one of them started crying. I bowl straight usually, but this time I put some spin, alot of it on the ball, to show off, and bowled a strike. This guy gut up and knocked 3 pins down and guttered the 2nd frame. What is even funnier is the for the next 4-5 times he got up we kept laughing at him, so much so that they quit and left after the first game. I actually bolwed over 200 that game, around 220 (even so, I only won by 9 pins) or so, which Isn't my high but it's pretty darn close, havn't felt it like that in a while, but that as you know is besides the point.

What I don't understand is why did this guy think he had to prove something against me. Even though she was attractive I wasn't going to try to take her, too high maintance. It's not like I pulled her to the side and asked for her number. Not only that, why would you try to prove something against someone who you know is better than you. Not trying to brag, but I was head and shoulders better than him, or anyone of her friends, just as my friends were. Are guys so insecure that they think that they have to "fight" for a womans attention at allt imes? Again she was cute but damn, No one is cute enough for me to make me look like a damn fool just so you can get a good laugh.


Let me poose this questoin? If you were trying to impress a girl but there was someone there clearly better than you doing what ever it is that you are doing, how would you handle the situtation.

Interesting story. Not much to do with being a DJ, but interesting nonetheless.

If I was in a situation where I knew other guys were better than me, I'd be damn sure not to make it a competition. I'd act like I totally didn't care about the game, and I might even make fun of how bad I am. Not in a self-deprecating way, but in a "i don't care" kind of way. I'd just make sure I was having fun. You can only lose if it's a competition. If you act like you're just trying to have fun, and you do have fun, it's not going to hurt you with the girl at all.

....unless there was another guy, also *doin' stuff* to the other half of her body, I dont know why I would need to impress her at all?


Moral of my post, using animals :)

There is the peocock who try's to get a peahens attention with his feathers,

There is the robin who sings his heart out for a chance to win a she-robins (? i dont know much about bird...)

And finally, there is the dog who runs the b1tch down, and has his way with her.


:)

No, im not suggesting rape, but why would you even need to compete?

Good observations backbreaker...

I would say the reasons for his Quixote-like challenge would be:

--desperation; and
--unclear on the concepts.

He was aware enough that the 3 of them were in a slow horse race for [shapeless] HB (does that make her a -B??? anyway...) and no one was pulling ahead.

Then you show up and--having been in these before--you know that another guy shows up, has a good time, and the girl is immediately in the flow with the other guy. You just know it.

And AFCs are ultra-sensitive to these things happening.

Because they've seen it happen so many times before--
Because they've usually caught in the losing part of the equation here--
Because they're used to losing at this point--
Because the set-up (they're AFCs, right?) means they'll always be in the inferior position--
Because they know it so well and can see it coming even before the girl sees it--
And because they're tired of it but can't do anything else.

And because they have to do something.

At least bowler-boy tried.
 

Well I'm here to tell you there is such a magic wand. Something that will make you almost completely irresistible to any woman you "point it" at. Something guaranteed to fill your life with love, romance, and excitement.

I wish.


Nothing "wild and crazy" about a guy failing horribly to get a cut's girls attention. That's pathetic.

What makes it worse, and what confirms the DJ philosophy even more, is that out of the three guys, she was "into" the guy that paid her no attention. He was talking with us, and even laughing at the other guy most of the night.

Geezus, get over yourself son. It's just bowling, nobody cares. The guy's a LSE and a stupid one at that to be jealous over your 'l33t bowling skillz'. And you're just as funny getting all ****y over bowling.

The point of the entire post was to post a question, not to take about how good of a bowler I am. If I wouldn't have told you that, the story wouldn't have made much sense.


And me being "****y" over bowling. It's not ****y when you ARE actually good at something, that's called self-assurance. James Bond isn't ****y because he can pick up any girl he wants, it's "being ****y" when you have to tell yourself over and over that you are something that you aren't. I know I can bowl, I have been bowling my entire life, literly was rasied in a bowling alley by my grandmother, I even try to pick up a few frames on my lunch brakes durning the week. I don't have to convence myself I am a good bowler, I am at least above average, which is proven by my scores.

I may have not worded the story correctly: The bottom line is that a guy was trying to impress a girl by bowling aginst a guy who happened to be me, that is clearly better than him, and made a fool about himself in the process. That guy could have been anyone, it happened to be me. The sport could have been anything. It could be dancing for all I care, it happened to be bowling.

The question I posed was how would YOU handle a situtation in where you were competing at something and you were against someone clearly better than you. For instance, let's say you took a girl to put-put golf for a fun date, and Phil Mickleson just so happened to be there, putting his left handed *** off. How would you handle the situtation? That's all I was trying to ask. NOt saying we were competing, but any sport is competative.

This guy has reeking desperation and jeliously issues. You run into AFCs like this all the time trying to kiss the girlies asses. They usually come in packs (like you noticed) and it's actually quite sad...you can tell right off the bat that they're not getting any and they're "friends" to her, but they don't seem to notice that quite yet. :)

I'll provide a simplier story which illustrates a similar point. Yesterday afternoon I was at the bus stop waiting for my bus. There was this girl standing there behind it with her arms crossed and a kinda bad look on her face, she was about an 8 in looks, dressed fancy with her arms crossed and a sour look on her face. I could smell the reek of a bad personality from where I was...my gut was just telling me things. There was this guy near her who would occasionally talk to her, I thought he was some guy trying to hit on her.

Well I figured I'd say something to her for the hell of it (definately not my type but I like these conversational challenges), so I walked up, made EC, smiled at her, and she looked away. I fully walked up to her and smiling said "you look like a cold and angry peacock". I throw random crap out there a lot, most hotties eat it up and I use it as a good initial personality/inteligence test. She didn't quite seem to get it and said she was just cold, we chatted for a very short time and I went back to the bus stop, end ended up starting some small talk with that guy. The guy ignored me, and went back to talk to her, probably asking her what I had said. The bus came around and they both got on and off together, but didn't talk much (maybe they were angry at eachother).

I've had experiences like this before with many american college students. Some people are SO closed up and living life with blinders on their eyes that it's actually comical, and the look in that guys face when I was simply TALKING to that girl, trying to pass the time, I'm sure a lot of you notice this happening.

Past these stories, the point is that there are a lot of guys who are so insecure that they get like this when someone else talks to their GF or a girl they like. Worse yet, there are girls whose egos are so inflated by guys like this constantly kissing their asses that they fail to use (or even cultivate in the first place) an outgoing nature and a friendly demeanor.

Not to burst your bowling bubble, but you consider yourself good and you throw a straight ball, and on top of that you use an alley ball? My current boyfriend averages around 205-210, and as any really good bowler does, throws a mean ass hook..starts it at the right gutter and sweeps it in from there. Normally i wouldnt get on you about this but you did seem to go to extra lengths to expound upon your bowling prowness, when in reality...its not so much. Other than that, good luck and good scores with the ladies..pun intended lol. :)

The point of the game is to knock the pins down, not to make the ball swerve. If someone throws it straight and gets a 220, he still beats the guy who has a wicked hook and has a 210. There's no style points. Incidentally, posts like this are why some people don't like girls posting on this board.

Id like to clarify... My boyfriend AVERAGES 210, he doesnt get a 220 once in a while. DO you know what it means to average a game that high? That means he bowls every game in the 200s or higher just about. If he gets less than 6-7 strikes a game its a bad game. He bowls many games in the 250's to 270s, and has bowled a few 300 games. And in addition, I have never, and i mean never seen a very good bowler throw a straight ball, trust me it doesnt happen. Just to clarify.
 

Peace and Quiet

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.

And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

It is the call of nature. Guys are naturally competetive, especially when there is a "prize" involved. He thought if he beat you he would win the woman`s honor. But, you didn`t want her and still he doesn`t have her because he is riding her coat tail.

This is exactly why I hate girls posting on these boards. They come around here and talk about their wonderful BF's....

We don't give a fvck.

Go to another forum. (Except the few who do participate in some intelligent discussions, whitout mentioning their "Better Half")

SaliorB!tch, you've missed the point of this post, entirely.

Go tip your canoe.

Great Story, Breaker.

These guys always give me a laugh.

It doesn't seem like anyone is answering the true question here.
If it was my girl and another guy was bowling 220 and I only average 170, I would point out to her everytime you bowled 'look at the way he stands', 'look how his arm comes back', 'look at his follow through', etc.
A true DJ is not afraid when he meets someone who has more skills in a certain area. He is so confident that he can point out someone's good points without being afraid. He would go to the guy(you) and ask 'can you watch me and see what I am doing wrong?'.
You might be a better bowler than me but I am the one who is going to have the bigger balls with my woman later that night.
