You're absolutely right!vatoloco said:A recent discussion got me thinking about the fact that many guys are missing three key components in order to be successful. Leadership, Initiative and Guts. Let me offer you two examples from my recent experiences.
I'm looking to add a third motorcycle to my stable so I scour Craigslist every morning to see what turns up. Most of it is overpriced trash but from time to time you find gems out there (LOL, I just realized that this is exactly like women -- maybe one of these days I'll make a motorcycles/women post! ).
Anyway, this morning I saw an ad for a bike that would be good for turning into a bobber and it's listed at a decent price so I called the number up. Nobody picked up but I left a VM with my info. A guy calls me back 5 minutes and we talk for a few minutes about the bike. He tells me: "Man, you're the first guy to call. Everybody just texts."
This ad was placed yesterday around lunch and he's had several texts since then but no calls, up until mine this morning. We set a meeting later tonight to go see the bike. I had the initiative to actually give this guy a ring and set up a meeting to see the bike. Sound familiar? You need initiative and guts to call a girl up and ask her out. Sure, you might rejected but you need to swing to hit. If you never swing, you're never gonna get a hit.
I took my current girlfriend's virginity. She had told me she wanted to wait until marriage blah blah blah but I just plowed right through. I was the [sexual] leader and guided her through... ahem! "the process." Now we fuck for hours on end every time we're back at my place. So much for waiting 'til marriage, huh?
If you don't have those three qualities, you need to get on the ball and start growing/developing them if you want to be successful.
When we first started going out, it was mostly near school that we'd go. As the outings progressed, I brought her back home and after we were fooling around is when she ASD'd and LMR'd with the "I wanna wait until marriage" thing. I told her "Sweetheart, I'm not gonna force you to do anything. Let me know when you're ready. Just don't take too long or I might lose interest! " in a playful tone. I took her home then.Chickfight said:Very good and well presented observations.
Could you give me some more details on the plowing through the whole "no sex before marriage" thing? I virtually never had a girl say this to me before, but since I've moved to the US, I hear those dreaded words more often. Still successfully get through it sometimes, just by not taking it seriously and escalating anyway, but it's still annoying. What exactly did you do to handle it with your girlfriend? If you don't mind me asking

if I may interject with a little story of my own, true!
went to see a couple yesterday, been married 6.5 years, two kids, the first isnt his. he 6'3, a little bit of a paunch, great frame, right diet and 3 months of working out he could be pretty jacked, she 5'4 at least 250lbs!!!!
And this is why it's so critical for a man to remain self-reliant and not need a woman to complete him. This is something that I will always be: self-reliant.she is ending the marriage, he is devastated, cant live without her, he has let al his old life go, he has no other interests, he is an empty vessel..and yet, through my eyes, he has sooo much potential and could punch much highe than this monster he is with, she was pretty horrible in terms of personality too, barking at him and talking down to him.
The mistake that many men make (my past self included) is that they become enslaved to the pussy to the point that their relationship/marriage defines them. Once things go south, they literally go through withdrawal once their supply is cut off.I left scratching my head as to the crazy amount of power we hand over to women and its virtually always to the males detriment when he does so.
Sounds like your friend needs more of a personality and conversational skills. Seriously, talking about the table's wood!?Rikudo said:A observation on a nice guy.
So i was going with a friend of mein to his math class he is 1 year older then me not a good wing he is shy so we went ther it was raining a lot his class was still not open so we went into the bar in the bar ther where some class friend of him 1 boy and 2 girls the boy was constantly talking with girl 1 and was ignoring girl 2 the girl he was talking ignored him i call this the bermuda triangel when one guy is interested in one chick but she isent into him and the other chick is interested in the guy but he ignorse her so the show went on he went from bying one drink to the other for the 2 girls and talk about stupid things like the tabel they where siting of what wood it is made and so on so when we got in the class he goes and sits near the girl 1 and agian talking BS.
Dont Get into the Friend zone DOnt buy her drinks if she does not deserv it and dont talk about BS.

Unless, of course, you wanna be like this guy: http://roissy.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/omega-of-the-month/vatoloco said:Don't let her become your mother. Once your partner becomes your mother [who dictates how you should dress, etc.], the romantic relationship is dead. Unless you're into incest, you sick motherfucker!
Not only does it apply to stuff like IT but, to other areas as well. Nobody's born knowing everything. Sure, you should get instructed in many different areas, as well as become specialized in some but, you are always gonna face situations where you don't have a particular set of skills to tackle them.women haze said:This is important I can tell vatoloco that we do the same line of work. In IT especially if you are the ONLY IT Support Rep that works in a small environment of about 300+ people. you cannot afford to say I don't know...the World Wide internet is a big place anything you DON't know can be researched Somebody figured it out!!Never say "I don't know." If you don't know how to do something, learn how to.
