I've been meaning to ask the other guys this.shanshan310 said:
Have you ever woken up with a bonner after having a dream about family members? That is one awkward morning erection.
I tend to sleep on my stomach so it looks like my penis is telling me to get up and go the bathroom.

Also I want to ask the ladies this.
A young woman on facebook the other day posted as her status "I'm one in a million, and you're a dime a dozen." so I answered back "And here I thought I was one in a million. You know... because of the third testicle."
Does that kind of joke work better in text than in person?

Hello Lady-Gaf I come to you for advice. I've only had one girlfriend and she asked me out so I'm a pretty sorry mam. I'm embarrassed to say but I have no game. There's this cute girl in my dorm floor that I see almost every day in the bathroom. That's awkward enough. I want to talk to her but I don't know what to say..... "So how about those dirty toilets?". Anything I can do?
Sounds like a lame joke in any situation if you ask me.

I don't want anything that has to due with my penis, including waking up with wood, to be described as cute. Tell your boyfriend you think his morning wood is cute just for kicks, and tell us what he says

All the time. One explanation I heard is that since you don't go to the bathroom while sleeping, your bladder fills up and presses down on your prostate gland, and your prostate gland being pressed down upon is what gives you the morning boner.shanshan310 said:
Okay, so lets say I'm in a dance bar/club, and I end up dancing 1 on 1 with a girl. We both seem to be having a good time, but no words are exchanged. My problem is, whenever this happens, I have no idea what the fuck the 'next step' is.
Like... usually, when we're done dancing, I will smile and awkwardly walk away, or obliviously walk away. I've realized that I have -no- idea how to pick up a woman, every girl I've been with has picked me up. But I have missed probably countless opportunities.
SO, instead of looking for general catch-all pick up a girl advice, In this particular situation (where I am actually the most comfortable, I love dancing) - what do I do?

My mom told me that she had one of those at university. She said "that's nice." She didn't tell me what happened to him; instead ending the story with "Don't try to use guilt to manipulate people!"

I guilted my partner into it, once. Not a great feeling; probably why your friend was apologizing afterwards too. Much better to keep everyone well rested.

talk. say something man! complement her on her dancing or her shoes or something. it doesn't matter. it's just something to spark conversation.Kinitari said:
then ask her name, and if you can buy her a drink.
continue conversing. ask questions, let her do most of the talking. if you feel a good vibe, (i.e. she's still talking to you) ask for her number.
yes = profit. no = she wanted a free drink.
Hmm, let's see, a question for Lady GAF. It seems that I am in a kind of a self -perpetuating trap, let me explain it for you.
After a lot of soul seaching and surveying my female friends (and some of my ex - partners, whom I have a good relationship with) I arrived to the following conclussions:
- I do have a good deal of qualities, and I even excel at some, sociability included. I am not perfect, but I do have my strenghts and I know how to exploit them.
- However, women do sense that I am actively searching for a relationship, and that's a turn off for many since it makes me look dependant and needy, even if I tend to be fiercely independent (sometimes to the point of being an iconoclast) and fairly assertive (no pussies in pedestals here). Yet I don't know how, but it seems that I do transpire... need. Because I need some goddam proper relationship, goddarn it. It is pointless to pretend it to be otherwise.
- It is a self - perpetuating situation: the longer I am without a partner, the bigger my desire to found one and the bigger the turn - off is. No idea of how to break this cycle. Also, I really, for the love of God, cannot dance nor enjoy dancing.
Sooo, how much screwed am I, lady - GAF?

Um, maybe ask if she wants to move over to the bar to talk? I've had guys try to start a conversation on the dance floor - not one of them has ever got my name right. You just can't hear anything there. If you want to take it to the next level, you need communication, and for communication you need to be able to hear each other.

I'm not a woman but I went through this several years back. Dorky/nerdy (not a putdown) girls, or grounded mature girls that like who you are, especially ones who weren't "hot" growing up (even though they may be now) won't care. They'll see you for what you are. Keep smiling, keep at it, be comfortable with yourself, and get those digits!

Also not LadyGAF, but I feel like I fell into this trap for a while. I've in fact been straight up told that I'm an awesome person by some of my female friends (most have been in relationships for as long as I've known them, doesn't bug me in the least). I'll tell you what seemed to make a difference for me:
I stopped caring. I stopped caring and just said, "Eh, whatever happens, happens, screw it."
I'm still single, yes, mostly because I live in an area where the dating environment is poor and because I'm in no rush, but you know what it helped me with? Helped get rid of that stigma that I was desperate. And that has not only made me feel better, it's made other people more likely to chat with me.
As for advice, junkster said it best.
But I'll let LadyGAF respond so ManGAF doesn't hijack this thread.Also, a question for LadyGAF to keep things on track and get away from all the dancing shenanigans: How much does making a girl smile or laugh matter in terms of judging interest? And I don't mean "Haha, you're so ugly you make me laugh" kind of laugh, but more the being witty part?

I didn't care about relationships most of my life and it never helped me none, so I don't really buy into the idea. Then again, none of the advice I've been given has worked either so I might be in the minority here.

You are not totally screwed! But perhaps you are just going after the wrong ladies? What type are you going after? Just hot ones or fun ones? Ones that don't seem to want to be in anything serious?
Maybe you need to go more for the ladies that are ALSO "needing" a relationship?
In my opinion... oh man, witty dudes are such a turn on~!NihonTiger90 said:
Or at the very least, they are impressive and auto-gains my respect.
I figure being able to make someone genuinely laugh or smile opens them up a lot more to you--makes them more receptive. It at least doesn't kill a peron's interest.

Okay, I am going to imagine what I would do if I were a hot guy trying to pick up a lady off the dance floor in your situation:
- have a good time dancing, and song is over, and you make eye contact
- smile, motion to the bar, offer to buy a drink
- strike up casual conversation "So where are you from? You come here often?"
- insert witty banter, be sure to mention how much I enjoyed dancing with her
- "I'd really like to do this more often with you. Mind if I get your number?" *wave phone in front of her, let her enter her number into your phone*
- reread her name, smile and ask if she wants to go back to dancing / if the night's done, offer to walk her to the bus or hail a cab for her --maybe if you are going the same way, split cab fare
DO I GOT GAME, MANGAF???

If I was a female, I would be impressed.Prax said:
If you oogle her all period in philosophy class, and then quickly look away once she makes eye contact, she'll realize that you are beyond these earthly sexual urges (other than that visit to redtube last night....and then again this morning) and that a man like you is complex and hard to get. She'll realize how valuable you are.Chinner said:

Well, it was already in my post to begin with!
But it may also work if you were an average-looking guy but well dressed.
Or an average guy and were witty.
Or an average guy that could dance.
Just something that will boost you if you don't have the looks down.
Kay, next lifetime, I will come back as a guy and win all the ladies (and gentlemen) with my excellent charms. Hopefully I will also be hot so I don't have to work as hard with being witty and having body coordination. >_>
Prax said:
Okay. Okay that's some solid advice. Basically, motion to the bar and offer to buy a drink? From there I will be okay - it's just transitioning from dancing to talking that is hard for me. I will try this soon, I am going out a fuckton in the next few weeks. But I won't try it at Wet Bar. I don't like Wet Bar.

Yes. Just be confident and smile! That is charming stuff.Kinitari said:
The motioning to the bar is a confident move (in my head)!
If she's ineterested (or being polite), she will follow you and everything else will be grand.
I will just continue to answer questions in a hypothetical as if I were a hot guy from now on.
I always figured I would have made an awesome guy anyway. LEARN FROM MY SAGE ADVICE AND CONFIDENT SWAGGER!

So, going back to dancing, do you have to like it, too? Can girls tell when you're just dancing to be socially obliging, and if so, is that a turn-off?

That actually sounds like too much work. No thanks!NihonTiger90 said:
I actually want to spend most of my supposed "charisma points" that would go into all those charm skills into other areas.. like geeky pursuits and quirks. Can't put pussy or penis on a pedestal, after all.
Depends? What type of breakdown is it? What caused it?Hellcrow said:
Death/injury of loved one => OK, everyone understands. Drop girl who doesn't.
Stress attack from job => not cute, but can gain pity
Dropping good food on floor => is it youtube-able?
Break up / relationship-related => turn off
Deleted from someone's Facebook => turnoff
You should at least TRY to enjoy it and not be bitter about it. Girls that know you will appreciate your effort, and you can get them to "owe you" for doing it.cooljeanius said:
It won't work so well with girls that don't know you / strangers on the dance floor.
If you're a good actor, yeah, you can trick anyone into thinking you're enjoying yourself, but it otherwise doesn't look good if you're not smiling or at least enjoying the music.

True, and that sounds like a worthy choice.
Speaking of which: geeky pursuits and quirks -- are they things the usual girl does not mind as long as they are not too weird or too quirky? My experience tells me "Yes, except for the uptightest of the uptight," but most of my female friends are fellow geeks, so my experiences are shaped as such.
