I highly doubt we'd come off as a couple, I'm a year older and about a foot taller.
pb was talking about himself. He was at the restaurant w/ me.I highly doubt we'd come off as a couple, I'm a year older and about a foot taller.

me thinks it was aimed at both of us unless he likes quoting me for fun.
I had a moment where a stranger girl smiled and winked at me in a restaraunt. She must of liked me.
Me too.
I'll admit that I do have a soft spot for pretty girls, but I don't think I get taken advantage of very often. They don't have that power over me. Sorry. When I find that a particular girl gets her way all the time because of the way she looks, and she tries that flirty-giggly crap with me, I turn them away. I find that type of girl annoying, and it's insulting to think that this will work on every guy. I actually put in a bit of extra effort to turn them down.
But oh my......my ex-girlfriend didn't even have to flirt or do anything, and guys would go out of their way to do things to her. Honestly. She would tell me how she was walking down the street, and guys walking the other way would say "Hi" and smile at her. Sometimes, Korean guys would say it in Korean because they think she looks Korean. She's from Taiwan though, which is why it was so funny.
I wasn't jealous or worried. I trusted her, but I didn't trust any of the other guys. Pervs.
I don't think I could possibly get a girl to do things for me due to my looks, so
That may be a misinterpretation. I open doors for girls, but I also do so for grandmothers, guys, old men, small children, etc. Does that mean I'm a bi-sexual paedophile who also has a fetish for old people? Hardly.
Yep. I'd let you hold my camera too, Cassie!
I think I have the "magic ability" because a couple asked me to take thier picture even though there were far more responsible men all around me.
-but at leaast you wouldn't be a total stranger...
I think it's more like the things guys do to even have a chance at having sex with beautiful women. But yeah, the story was really cute. I agree.
Also, I'm not too sure about labeling men as nice guys or players. While many guys would technically fit in to those stereotypes, a good majority are very hard to define without pigeonholing them.
I've dated a few really hot girls, but I have to say I don't fall heads over heals for a girl because of her looks. I always fall for girls with the 'sydney bristow archtype'... above average looking, but what makes them irresistible is a perfect combination of intelligence, confidence, feminity, and vulnerability.

That's 100% true.
If you're single, and let's face it.... if you are, you're always on the look-out.... then a very pretty girl in the right age category has amazing powers over the poor helpless single male (i.e. me).
Me too.

Same here. If a nice girl needs something, then I'm putty. But if it feels like they're taking advantage of the situation, nothing pleases me more than to crush their egos and say no. Because girls do tie their egos to how many guys said hi to them that day, and did nice things for them.

You too eh? Haha. Actually, I'm kind of discriminatory. I'll hold the door open for whoever, but I'm much more likely to put that extra effort in for a prettier girl.
I concur. With most of the things mentioned. I'm an equal-opportunity nice-guy. Not that it's done me a lot of good per se.
Only recently, I had a bit of a strange situation with a girl who lives across the hall. Let's just mention briefly that there was an early morning (6 AM), towel, and borrowed clothes involved. And a long conversation (and some guitar) up to 9 or so.
Needless to say, I was wrapped around her finger after that. Kind of went places, but not quite the distance.
Now, she won't even talk to me.
I feel so emo.

Most of them know. Only the most modest or naive women don't milk it if they're attractive.
Personally, I find that the only advantage that (conventionally) pretty women have over me is that I like to look at them. I learned quite a while ago that what she looks like is completely unrelated to how smart she is, sense of humor, confidence, self-esteem, bedroom skills, or anything else. If anything, I've found that really pretty women are often spoiled because they're used to people giving them whatever they want. No thanks.
I've found that if I go for the quirky woman who's snickering at the pretty airhead, both she and I will be happier.
P.S., and I regularly make passes at women who wear glasses.
Beauty fades and then they're left with their brains... now that's funny!
its also a scary thought
Yeah that would have been pretty awkward.
As far as I can remember, I've only ever done it once, when I had borrowed a DVD from a girl I was totally wild about, she caught me off guard in the dorm hallway and asked if I was giving it back. "umm er yeah umm I want umm no really going back to give umm it. And stuff." She gave me a weird look. I gave up.

I find that it help to always say the exact wrong thing.
"No, I'm planning on stealing this from you. My second cousin, twice removed, is having a birthday, and this will save me a trip to the store. Would you like a tax deductible receipt?"
Sorry, can't resist an "oo-er".
I know many men that are similar to this though, whether it's a conscious or subconscious decision, they'll always cave in more to pretty women than to the rest of the populate. I personally have found myself not falling into this trap much if at all, unless of course I'm out on the town. A pretty lass spilling their drink on me is always more acceptable than a 35 year old pitbull. There's always a chance she did it on purpose after all.

Great use of words. She probably thought you were retarded, Shakespeare.

Relationship-wise, it'd probably be best to be a retarded Shakespeare, than the real one. Sure, you'd have poor verbal skills, but it's less likely you'll die in an unnecessary double suicide.
