Date of Lies said:Of course, there is always the chance of really offending someone at some time, which is far from being the end of anything.
The truth is, the only circumstances where C+F will backfire 100% is with insecure, prude and just plain unhappy women, and why would you want to be with anyone like that? To get manipulated and pushed around? No thanks bud, you can have 'em and keep them off the streets so I don't meet them, because yes, some women do take it the wrong way and it's embarassing. For them.

Pretty much. He's the sort of guy you see on a TV show like Elimidate.drohne said:are there really grown men who have to resort to grotesque self-caricature and unbelievably bad jokes just to get laid? i suppose humor and confidence are always good things, though you seem humor-deaf and humor-blind, and have mistaken vapid preening for confidence. good god, man: if that's an object lesson in cocky and funny, i can't imagine that it's doing you any favors.
Here's a question: Why should anyone care to listen to a person who is too worried about what other people think about them? "Girls will think you're a douche." That sounds more like a lameass defense put up by someone who would be scared shitless to even approach a girl that way and tell her things like that.Teknopathetic said:" This is where most men fail. "
Au Contraire. Thinking you have to drop lame lines to get women is where most men fail.

Cubsfan, was she hot in real life?
So far I count 2 self-admitted hopeless dudes and one even worse dude that pretends to be a woman dishing out the most "counter-advice" Trouble is, when you post any kind of chat log, 99% of the time it's going to read like drivel. Probably how most real life conversations would read if you dictated them and put them on the internet.
I'm going with Cubsfan supporter on this.
Still good though. People tend to fear what they don't understand. Lemmings. The all of them.
Date of Lies said:I dont give a fuck what they or anyone thinks. This is where most men fail. I've been called a douche, an jackass, a bastard, a motherfucker by girls and they still wanted a piece of me at the end.
Because I ain't acting, C+F is who I am, I don't have to fucking try.Teknopathetic said:"Why don't you tell me how you approach women?"
I just introduce myself and have an intelligent conversation like an adult. It works wonders and I can look at myself in the mirror the next day.
"Acting cocky and funny is about acting normal to the person you talking to."
Why don't you try acting normal instead of acting cocky and funny? Hell, why don't you try not acting at all?

Teknopathetic said:The advice you should give to people is "be yourself."
etc etc
Got it?
Teknopathetic said:Then, nurrr, cocky and funny doesn't mean shit to you. It's called being yourself. You don't need a shitty title for "being yourself." The advice you should give to people is "be yourself." And you shouldn't be defending someone telling others to act like someone they're not.
Got it?
Date of Lies said:hahaha, the greatest psychological paradox: "be yourself"
There are many of "You". There's you with your parents, there's you with your close friends, there's you at church, there's you at work, etc. And of course, there's also the you around women you're attracted to.

Fortunately, all of my "me" are the same, for better or worse. I'm not so dissatisfied with my personality that I alter it to fit in my surroundings.

Teknopathetic said:"When you want to have a job, the "you" at the job needs to act in a certain way in order to succeed. Same with women.
You are not the same person with your mom, with your boss and with your best friend. Guys that are, lets call it, "Good with woman" are guys that have refined the "you" with women. When you're looking for a job, you gotta sell yourself to your employer, right? Same with women only the "marketing technique" is completely different.
Look whatever, I'm not even writting this for you anymore."
I'm just as I am around my mom, around my boss/professors, around my friends, and around women. If *anything* you could say changes would be the amount of times I say "fuck." Other than that, it doesn't change.
"C.G Jung (famous psychologist) says you're wrong, people have personas. Try to find somebody that disagrees with him.
http://www.mageist.net/jungintro.html
"A well-developed individual may have several personae appropriate to business and social situations. The problem comes not in having a persona but in identifying with it to the neglect of the person's inner life.""
John Titor's famous and says stuff too.
catfish said:Ok, so to a person that never gets laid and always complains of never getting laid, you should say "be yourself"? But see, that results in them never getting laid.
Teknopathetic said:An appeal to the authority of a psychologist doesn't change my personality, Cubsfan. Psychologists are not infallible.
Ristamar said:It seems that most people who genuinely complain about not getting laid aren't just failing due to lack of "cocky and funny." There are plenty of whores out there, male and female alike, and even the dumbest, goofiest, most idiotic fucktards manage to pull in tail.
The folks that complain typically want something beyond sex and no "cocky and funny" guise will help them start, develop, maintain a meaningful relationship. The only way to conquer social ineptitude is to do what you always have to do when you suck at something but have the desire for improvement: PRACTICE. Get out and socialize, stray from your daily circles now and then, chat it up with people you may normally avoid or ignore when given the opportunity.
Eventually you'll be able to relax and converse freely in most situations without worry of putting on an act or fear of blurting out the wrong thing.

Mr. E. Yis said:Yay! Common sense!
:lol And your point is? Psychology is not even close to being perfect on modeling the human psyche.
Date of Lies said:Let me just say that he is far from being the only psychologist saying this. This is practically psychology 101 here. Denying that you're not the same with everyone is absurd and it actually sounds more like you're too thick-headed to admit otherwise this far in the argument.
Cubsfan23 said:I made my point clear enough. The research is there. If you choose to be ignorant, go ahead.
Funny how colleges still choose to teach this "imperfect" system.
Litigation Manuel said:Honestly, cocky and funny will only work if all you're looking for is sex. People that are looking for something deeper and more meaningful in relationships are not going to have any luck with cocky and funny. It is just an act. It's an act similar to the persona you put on when applying for a job or when you're around your relatives. I think most would agree, that altered persona you put on in such situations does not truly reflect you. You change it to succeed socially there, but whenever I do it, all I'm really doing is restricting a part of who I am. That is not the real me. It's my personality altered as so not to offend or make awkward. That's why cocky and funny will do no good in attracting anyone besides loose women for one-night stands. I feel sorry for people who think they need to change who they really are to attact women. If you're not attracting anyone, don't worry about it, when you finally do attract someone, it will be someone you're compatible with, that you can have an actual relationship with. Don't try to trick someone into liking you with some sure-fire method, it will work only short term.
