I keep reading the thread title as "LadyGaGa advises ManGAF"

I've read the actual title several times since it's been up, yet to this day when I quickly catch a glimpse at it I see a thread that would ruin every man who would dare participate in it.

Just had to get that out there, carry on.

Thanks. Although I'm a very outgoing person, I tend to keep my thoughts/emotions to myself. But she's super cool and I'm opening up to her, this is just another step for me.

Aka, I'm leaving my comfort zone :l

which is good. You'll never know what kind of reactions you get until you try! If anything you really are "practicing" on her. Just have fun with it and be honest.
 
Sometimes I see the girls on GAF oggle guys/guys bodies - I do notice/see that girls tend to care less about physical appearance than guys do, but now I wonder if maybe I am just less aware.

Does a muscular (not grossly so) and fit guy have that much more of a chance with the ladies?

All other things being equal between two guys? Probably. But it's not anywhere near the first thing I look for.

Less aware but I will concede both of my relationships involved primarily being attracted to a personality. I think that being fit and generally more confident and attractive will provide more opportunities with the ladies, but that doesn't mean the relationships will necessarily be better, if you get what I mean.

Well that makes sense, but it sounds like if all things weren't equal, physical fitness wouldn't have that much of an impact on your opinion?

I guess what you're saying is that a good body is better at hooking a girl, but not necessarily important for keeping one.

I ask because I am thinking about going to the gym on campus, they spent the last 2 years rebuilding it, and it's finally finished as of this week, and it's pretty awesome. But I am not particularly... unfit. So I am wondering how much it will help with women if I work out :p.

Fitness impacts my opinion insofar as it's about health and a desire to take care of oneself. Being buff is icing on the cake.

But really, doesn't matter how healthy and fit you are if you can't carry on a conversation or we have nothing in common. If I have to ask 20 questions to get 10 words out of you, it aint' gonna happen.

I think I am plenty good with conversations - that's actually probably my strongest point, usually when people talk to me they get... surprised or something. I get a lot of "I really like the way you talk" or the much less eloquent "you talk nice" when I meet people randomly. No, I just need more hooks - right now my hair is doing all the work, but if I want to broaden my options, I need to look into diversifying my assets!

Well hey, if ya got "the brains", fitness is a good next step. So is having cool hobbies.
 
Noez said:
Quick question to LadyGAF..

How do you compliment a female friend on her looks without being "blatent" about it?

I don't have feelings for her, it's just that every now and then she looks pretty/cute and I just want to express that. But saying "You look cute" just seems awkward to me.
Click to expand...

Nothing wrong with being blatent as long as you ain't rude about it...

Just tell her she looks good today or looks nice ...

What if my hobbies contain collecting game artbooks? I'd think that would be a turn-off. Or a turn-on, I don't know how you girls like your mario. I like him clothed.
 
You know what sucks? Living in Iowa and having a thing for women with accents or more exotic/foreign looks. Well...we got corn.

Been single for about 7 years now (I am 25). Getting a bit harder to meet people too as I only have a few friends left in town. Not turning this into a sob story, but it's tough to meet someone who actually shows an interest, you know?

Blame Space has it down apparently.
 
They've got a caucus there every few years. All sorts of politicos and workers get shipped in to work the day(s).

I know a couple who met through working the caucus. True story.

Move to a city. I grew up in New Hampshire, and as someone else who is also attracted to the "exotic Other", moving to go to school in DC has been really great for me for meeting girls
to fantasize about dating instead of actually dating

I am not political really, but interesting thought. Anyways, I have a solid job, but am looking to leave the state eventually so who knows.

We've got women for sure, it's just finding a meeting one that's actually willing to give you a shot that's hard.

Anywhere I can Devo, anywhere I can. Tried the bar scene, which I still do occasionally, but even though I live in a college town it's not as easy as one would think. Most college girls go to the bars with these cliques and have 3 other girls and about 6 dudes with popped collars with them.

My best chances has always been meeting friends of friends, but that happens less often as my college buddies scatter around the country. Having a best friend in town is great, but he's married. On the other hand my younger brother is now in college but damn, was I that stupid a few years ago? :P

I assume I'll figure it out. I have no problem starting a conversation or whatnot, I always just want to see a bit of enthusiasm on the girls part to let me know I'm not totally wasting my time. I think that's fair!

Edit: No Steve, not Gaf, I know there is a real world out there.

Bar scene sucks. Some people get lucky but it sucks. Have you tried anything related to a specific interest? Take a class in something, like cooking, women will be there.

I do love to cook. May see if anything like that is offered, but then again, It would most likely be through The college, of which I graduated three years ago. I do work out of town now, got a new job in April, so I am scouting that out.

What's wrong with that college? Besides it won't just be undergrads. All kinds of people take those classes, but I do know single women (like my pals) do stuff like that.

Your best chance to get yourself out of forced social situations and join larger social activities. Join a local rec league, go to some shows, etc. Meeting girls through friends is effective too, but it really depends on how they vouch for her.

Mainly my work schedule and costs. Still paying off my Bachelors Degree trip through college as is. :P

Edit: well ladies and gents, I am off to bed as I should be getting up for work in about 6 hours. Thanks for the suggestions and listening to me vent a bit. I will check back in the AM for anything I missed!
 
Devolution said:
Wait what? I feel like if you're interested enough in someone you should just go for it. Not everyone is obvious enough about their signals or overtly flirty.
Click to expand...

That post was from this guy, right here. The issue is I'm not interested in someone who isn't showing any towards me. Sure I would try and get to know them if I was interested, but as it is, they're just a stranger who seems indifferent to me. To me, they're just another face in the crowd.

You are attractive but you probably know this. You could work on your personality which, judging by this post, is pretty awful.

I am everywhere and no where, I am vengeance, I am the night. I am Batman.

Yep, that's totally why I don't have a girlfriend.
 
:-/ What? I'm not a shitty person :( I was just genuinely curious, I've had a really shitty few weeks emotionally with family and women-related, I just was wondering if girls actually thought I was good-looking. Thanks for being mean :(

Confidence/sheer force of personality definitely plays a bigger role unless you're at a nightclub (where they're only caring about hot bods).

I used to think looks played just as big a role for girls, but then I had a girl drop me for this douchbag creeper who is way sloppier-looking than me, and way chubbier (she was a PIA headcase tho).

So yea. Believe. XD

Sure. You're a good-looking guy.

Just get rid of the moustache. It makes you kinda weasely. You can leave the rest of the stubble, I guess. I feel you have too much hair poofing up in these pics, making your head look disproportionate in shape. And your expressions are kinda smarmy. Not all ladies like that. xD
 
Plywood said:
Wait, she's picking the ring for you? BAIL OUT
Click to expand...

No she isn't picking it out. We have been to a jewlery store a few times in the last two years ( we both have a niece and a nephew and they both had baptisims and first birthdays so we got tie clips for the boys and earings for the girls ) and everytime we go she looks at the same ring settings. I never watch what she is looking at , but i normal go back the next day and ask what she was looking at.


$10k is just a number in my mind. I have no idea what she thinks is a good amount to spend. I don't want to be cheap either and spend $500 bucks on a ring . We've been dating over 2 years now and we both agree marriage is still 3-4 years out for us . I figure I want to propose in a year or a year and a half.


I'm guessing 10k is a bit . i will prob try and spend $5k .
