Attack of the *Official* Relationship Advice Thread

Something I don't get and have probably talked about before: guys go crazy for me over the internet.

Never had that problem.

But it's probably that they like the projection they've created of you in their mind. It's fairly easy to take the personality you interact with online and the images you've seen online and flesh out the rest to create a person you'd be interested in.

I imagine all of you looking like Ashley Greene.

Even the guys.

Give her a chance?

Does she even remember your name?

Just surprised you're putting more effort into this.

I mean give her a chance in that I'm more willing to pursue this than I should. I don't know, I guess its because I know what kinds of guys she likes, and I don't feel like I have to act a certain way to impress her like I normally do with girls I like. So I feel like this is a chance that is too good to just shrug off without trying. I know the odds are against me in that I don't see her unless I make an effort to, but I don't want to feel like I'm letting something slip away like I normally do.

Something I don't get and have probably talked about before: guys go crazy for me over the internet. I don't really do anything special, but almost every male internet friend I've had ends up with some sort of feelings for me. But in real life, I may as well be called Ms. Cellophane. I get zero male attention except for ones that just want to be friends. I used to wonder if I was ugly or something. I'm perfectly fine being single, I don't need a relationship to validate me as a person, and I don't think I'm ugly anymore and no longer care if anyone else thinks I am, but it's still perplexing.

Interesting, it's the opposite for me. I want to follow you around on the internet now and observe to see if I can figure out why lol. There's gotta be something to it that you can translate over to real life.

I've encountered this syndrome before.

I call it: Social Network-nitis.

See, most humans (on this battlefield) convey a unique dual personality. Most people are not even aware of the subtle differences when coming to their cyberspace self and their planet Earth self.

It's quite intriguing really.

Of course, it could also just be that more subjects or gents can obtain the art of seduction and persuasion easier through posting than to actually approach an individual out in the real world.

No lie, but the girl that I really liked once told me that I was a completely different person when we spoke on AIM. She even said I should be more like that in person and I didn't know if I should take that as a complement or an insult. But basically she meant I more tense in person and not as animated as I seem online.

i can honestly say that some of the posts in this thread lately have been longer than most of my relationships

I've been guilty of this when I joined a dating site. I had some women's personalities pegged based off their profiles.

I had a girl tell me I should be more like my facebook pictures. Of course, she was referring to older pics of me at the club. I'm a lot more laid back now so that was kind of insulting. Oddly enough she was one women I dated off okcupid that gave an impression of being reserved. Turned out she was into some freaky stuff. That didn't last long , lol.

The internet is basically the biggest roleplaying game in existence.

 

[SpideyVille]

That's why as easy as it is to talk to people online, I still prefer getting to know them in person because you can pick up a lot of things just based on their mannerisms and behavior that will never get translated over the web or even through texting.

I don't believe this one bit.

wow . so what i thought all along was true.... my so-called " friend " , a backstabbing, conniving, sneaky, scrawny little **** basically stole my gf behind my back.

if he liked her he shouldve had the balls to tell me. which he didnt . and when she broke up with me she shouldve atleast admitted she liked him when i asked her several times. which she didnt....

i want to beat this dude's head in.

What are you doing in my past?

How'd your pal "steal" your lady-friend?

 

[hellblazer103]

How'd your pal "steal" your lady-friend?

while we were dating they talked and hung out . alot.


she agreed to be in his " band " .

he constantly posts statuses about wanting to tell a certain girl how he " feels " on facebook.

the same ****ing day she broke up with me, she hung out with him all day .

i already put 2 and 2 together by the time a friend of mine finally spilled out the details .

and the piece of **** , like i said, didnt even have the balls to admit he liked her .

before we were dating and i told him i liked her ( didnt even know they knew eachother ) he went " meh, she's cute but ( shrugs) " as if he DIDN'T like her.

he lied to my ****ing face, pretended he didnt give a **** i was dating her , acted like my friend, and did this all behind my back. and obviously she took part in it....

whatever, atleast we werent together for like a month and she just led me on and started cheating on me with him or something...

Well, thems the breaks kid. Hopfully this doesn't f**k you up for life.

like i said , im used to this ****.

maybe it's karma.


my first gf broke up with her bf ( they were dating for 9 months ) to go out with me. and obviously there were other problems with them. i didnt intentionally get her to break up with him, i just let her decide for herself. but then the dude basically hated me for it forever after that , and kept bothering me and her to the point where she broke it off within like 2 weeks.

ever since then my luck with the ladies has had its ups and downs.....

it just seems strange to me.

and now im in somewhat of the same position as that guy .

i feel like im already ****ed for life just for that one thing....

How long were you two together? How long have you and this guy been friends? I understand why you're pissed... They made a fool of you, but chances are this wasn't gonna last anyway.

it was only 2 weeks... so yea, of course it wasnt gonna last but that's still ****ed up for him to do.


btw, nice avvy. childish gambino = boss.

 

[Charlie Boy]

True, at the very least I'd give this "friend" of yours some dirty looks and a couple "what the **** bro's".

And thanks.

 

[Anubis]

Well, could be worse.

Let me tell you about a friend of my brothers.

This guy was best friends with this dude whose baby mama he had a thing for.

They were having problems you see, and dude took advantage of this. He purposely gave his friend bad advice......which resulted in his baby mama dumping him. Then, he moved in. Before that guy knew it, his kid was calling that guy daddy, and he was getting married to his baby mama.

10 years later, they're getting a divorce. She ruined his bank account, called the cops on him saying he was beating her and her children, and basically banging all his friends.

So, you know, while I don't think it's wrong to try and steal another persons significant other, you should be careful what you wish for.....it might come back to bite you in the ass.
