OT: Were you a ladies man in high school?
Let's be frank here. It takes a gift to woo the ladies in your direction especially the hot ones that went to your high school. Most guys in the world have issues or problems when it comes to picking up girls. I myself was never really a ladies man back at Darby. I played high school hockey but what killed my rep was being in the marching band, but come on. When you’re in a marching band as amazing as ours was and still is, it gives you pride and a sense of accomplishment. Unfortunately a lot of the other students (especially girls) never gave us second looks. Unless you were in the drum line because our drum line was always in shape and practiced with their shirts off every summer which helped in their efforts in search for women. 6 out of the 12 members picked up both the volleyball girls and cheerleaders. As for the gift it self being on just individuality it takes a trait too or just plain talent.
I didn't carry it, my dad didn't carry it and my grandpa never did either. But if your one of the few that did, or still do, then hats off to you my friend. I guess now that I'm in college it's easier because not everyone knows what was on in your high school days. It's funny because my girlfriend now came from the same backgrounds me (high school wise). She was an athlete from Worthington, played volleyball and did marching band but she is definitely NOT one of the typical bandies portrayed in Hollywood bogus films. So who else here struggled with “being on the scene” in high school?
You know Sparkles too?
She graduated, and I didn't run into her again for a few years. I discovered her dancing at the Vu under the stage name of Storm, where I made her take her tip from my mouth with her breasts, for old time's sake.
Storm - did she look anything like Halle Berry? (Mmmmm, Halle Berry stripping...)
She was cute though

Maybe you should have played the head pin angle more often.

My story is a big load of FAIL.
I was on the football team all four years of Highschool (plus 2 years of middle school), competed on the track team, had plenty of friends and was well respected by everyone, and was/am still pretty decent looking (Ed Note: I'm not trying to toot my own horn I hope I don't come off as such).
However I was such a big pussy in school I had girls making all the moves and I still could not seal the deal. Perhaps one of my biggest regrets because it has fucked me over and set me back in terms of women and creating opportunities with women to move further than just "talking".
For whatever reason, I was "afraid" to take chances and ask girls out cause I didn't think they liked me, so I never manned up and most of the girls just gave up. I would then wonder why they would quit on me and it didn't become clear until after I got to college and kept coming across the same thing over and over again.
Man what I would do to go back and do everything over again. I could have been a ladies man had it not been for me stepping over my own damn feet.

I have had girlfriends before, it's just that the amount of girls I talked to and nothing happened, largely outweigh the amount of girls I talked to and did form relationships with.
I guess I wasn't completely FAIL. I still have time and am currently fixing everything.
March 11th, 2010 at 12:48 AM ^
Chances are we like you, too, but are too afraid to ask you out.
I've come to find that out haha
I'm picking up on hints and clues that girls lovingly give out and it's making for a better time now.
haha that's awesome! I'm friends with mostly guys, and I see this over and over and over again--most guys are WAY more awesome than they give themselves credit for. That said, most of the guys that truly are awesome but aren't very confident are horrible at reading/acting on our signs.
No being a wuss, if you like someone go after them. At the end of the day, what the hell do you have to lose? You'll be more upset that you never said anything than if you do and it doesn't work out.
Exactly.
Some guys are just terrible at reading girl's signs and they completely blow it and then wonder what went wrong. I'm glad I learned my lesson, cause now it's like reading a book. Now I have to just keep myself in the game long enough to keep reading.
I think all we really want is a guy to make us laugh. Make us laugh and you've won us over.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:17 AM ^
LIES! That is what all girls say, they are looking for a sense of humor. From all the "I consider you more as a friend" replies I get from girls whom I make laugh, I have found this to be a massive lie.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:53 AM ^
It's TOTALLY true. Everything else wears off. I think it's important to guys, too--one of my good friends broke up with his college gf of three years a couple years ago. When we talked about why, he said she's amazing and will make some guy very happy one day, but she just didn't make him laugh.
If at the end of the day you just make each other laugh, you can work through pretty much anything.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:58 AM ^
Don't act like a clown, just be witty
At college level, the guys girl's like can't form the words to be funny, and a sense of humor to them is beer coming out of their own noses.
Now, when a woman gets a little older, that changes quite a bit (yeah, you always become a ladies man when you can't have the ladies anymore...)
..but they can sense desperation. Don't try hard to make them laugh, to get with them. If you're hanging around like a puppy, trying to make them always laugh, then they'll friend zone you. It can be a hell of a line to walk properly.

"Some guys are just terrible at reading girl's signs and they completely blow it and then wonder what went wrong. I'm glad I learned my lesson, cause now it's like reading a book. Now I have to just keep myself in the game long enough to keep reading."
If a girl will be alone with you in the dark or a semi-secluded place, she's into you.
Are there more signs than that one would need?
I went to Michigan!
But now that I'm a college graduate with a job, high school girls are easy to pick up.
I don't have a job.
Just so I can use them all to upvote you.
I haven't laughed out loud that hard at a post in a longggggg time.
Edit: Still laughing.

...I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.
Getting girls got easier as I got older.
Freshmen year was solid, and meeting girls from other surrounding schools helped out a lot.
Hit a sophomore slump because the girls kept going for the older guys once we were out of the freshmen wing.
Junior year improved immensely.
Senior year... by this time all I did was party and go after girls. Let's just say I barely remember most of this year. After football season my life was a haze from then until freshmen year of college.
Wash, rinse, repeat. College has been the SAME EXACT WAY.
Seniors get more tail than Freshmen! Story at 11...
I went to a public school, but I lived in an area where over the half the kids went to private schools. The problem was that while the girls who went to my school were both hotter and less slutty than the Catholic school girls, nearly all of them were either only interested in the fratty-ass Catholic boys or (I suspect) didn't possess hormones. After my junior year (I haven't dry humped as much at any point in my life outside of that time. I forgot how good it doesn't feel) I decided to take up the "fuck it" motto. My senior year, I got on homecoming court and dated for the first time. Now I'm in my first serious relationship and it's lasted over a year.
My advice?
Don't try too hard.
Don't over-pursue.
Don't be a Mouton.
Side note: being on the M drumline is worth so much more street cred than being on my high school line.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:19 AM ^
a Mouton? Explain
March 11th, 2010 at 10:43 AM ^
Obi and Mouton are a rather odd pair to watch. If you look at almost every play where they both get negative points in UFR, it's usually because Ezeh just hovers in space until a lineman comes out and blocks him, while Mouton is hauling ass, but in an awful direction that runs him out of the play. He tends to bite way too hard on fakes and counters.
EDIT: On top of that, I know a few girls who have hung out with Mouton before and since they'd rather hang out with me than with him, he must be an anti-ladies' man.
Being a Mouton is better than being a Larry Harrison.
Just sayin'.
Pimpin' ain't easy.
March 11th, 2010 at 11:43 AM ^
You ain't pimpin'
I go to an all-guys high school. Considering that, I've done ok.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:34 AM ^
I thought wearing white pants after Memorial Day was cool.

I occasionally read, and even leave comments on, several sports-themed weblogs. Therefore, I have no trouble "getting chicks," as it were, and even engage in "threesomes" nine or ten times a week.
Despite our carefully crafted delusions, the deciding factor is often not what is said, but who is saying it. Please watch this short and you will know what I mean, embedding is disabled.

This is so true. A lot of times the difference between being bold and being creepy is how you look. Goes both ways though. When an ugly chick is all over me, I think about how desperate she is. When a hot girl is, all I can think is "shit yeah".
not at all
