Help my choose a new personality for myself

    Right basically I've decided that in order to get a woman I need to change my personality. At the minute my personality is a bit nothingy to be honest. Most people would describe me as a "loner" and "a bit odd." So really, any change in personality can only be a good thing.

    I've only ever had 1 girlfriend, that was when I was 15 and she only went out with me because she was in love with my mate and wanted to get close to him in the hope that something would happen. I was completely aware of this, of course she never said such a thing to me, but it was a sort of understanding we had. I was just happy to be going out with a girl who I could snog and get handjobs from, so didn't mind the fact she had little, if any, interest in me. I'm now 24 and really think its about time I got me a woman.

    I'm quite happy with the way I look, I buy what I think are trendy clothes, I always make sure I smell nice, and always make an effort to look good (but I'm not a metrosexual or anything like that). So really the only area I think I can improve is my personality, which as I've said, leaves a lot to be desired. So I was thinking of having one of the following personalities:

    -Doormat/arselicker type: Someone who always puts other peoples needs before theres. Someone who feigns interest in other peoples problems and pretends they want to hear about them. This person will do there best to make the other person feel good, and will constantly shower them with praise and complements (no matter how true they are). This personality type is very effective (I've seen it work for others) but I'm not sure if I would have the patience to carry it off without killing someone eventually.

    -Nice guy: Someone with a pleasant personality who is always sensitive to everyones feelings and won't offend anyone ever. The type of person who puts up with people no matter how big a cnut they have been or how irritating they are. This person will often be seen giving change to homeless people and helping old grannies across the street etc.

    -Moody/brooding/mysterious loner type: This would probably be the easiest personality for me to take up since I'm already a loner. Girls often like mysterious type guys in films and ****, but I'm not sure how this would work out in real life, I'm not sure how I would meet girls with this type, they would have to approach me which I can't see happening.

    -Quirky/random/out-there type: I wouldn't have included this in the list, but in school there was an ugly fcuker with this personality type and he had quite a good looking girlfriend so maybe girls like this personality?

    -Funny guy: Girls love guys who can make them laugh (or so they say at least) so I could brush up on my humour and build a little repertoire of funny/witty lines that I could throw out every now and again and pretend they are off-the-cuff and this could work perhaps. I did have this personality type when I was younger and it worked a charm (not in getting women but just getting people to like me in general) but I gave it up after a few years because there was so much pressure on me to be funny all the time, I felt I always had to be "on" and could never relax.


    This is a question more aimed at the ladies but everyone please feel free to chime in with your thoughts. If you think of any other personality types that could be good for getting a lady please let me know. I will read every post but can't guarantee that I will reply to every one. Thanks for your time.

    so did I MM


    Have your own personality and get that fuck out there.
    As long as you are not a bastard(some women like this ), pay some attention , have your own thought opinions, enjoy your own company,
    there is no reason why you should have to pretend (no point either as it will get figured out).

    You need to get out there. Work on law of averages that one in hundred will say yes ,so just get out there. Nothing worse than not being yourself.

    Its the internet...you only have two options, you can be the "funny" guy or the "I'm tough" guy. But both positions are already filled by millions of people


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,816 ✭✭✭Acacia


    Stay yourself. You sound cool- a loner who's funny once you get to know him.

    ...But this is After Hours so you won't listen to my sensible suggestion...

    Being a nice guy won't get you girls, believe me, I've 22 years experience in the subject.

    Be a mysterious Loner, but don't brood, brooding never got anybody anywhere!

    Be your own man, but be a man. Basically know what you want and go for it in all aspects of life. Be fun. Be open, but not emotionally incontinent. Be noticed, but too noticeable. Keep an air of mystery. Keep an air that you have value and won't take crap from anyone. Have boundaries basically. That'll get people to want to be around you and that includes women, or...........

    .....Sit in the corner of the bar licking your eyebrows. That'll get the ladies too.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭tony1kenobi


    Be gay. Because you are gay.

    yep thats what they say, but comedians often get good because they don't get laid.:D Women like men who don't take themselves seriously. They like men who don't take the women in their lives and their frivolous issues that seriously, but acknowledge they exist. They want a guy who will take the real crap seriously and support them. That's what women mean when they say they like "a sense of humour". It does not mean you're robin williams every time you open your gob.

    Seriously though, yore ma? Have I chance? I can sit licking my eyebrows all night if that oils her axle......

    I choose funny guy. You're probably not very funny, and I relish the thought of someone waking up one day and deciding to be funny, only to find that everyone's laughing at them instead of with them.

    This. Try something a little less degrading, like "putz".

    sure 90% of comedy is just copying other peoples jokes but putting your own slant on it so its less obvious


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    Why don't you call yourself 'Jerk' instead of 'Shmuck'.

    That would be a good start.


    On second thoughts, hang a heavy boot or shoe off your cock and keep lifting it.

    You will be a real ladies man in about a month.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag


    Serious response = Better to be disliked for being yourself than being liked for being someone you're not!

    After hours response = Convince the birds that you're related to Patrick Swayze. You just cant lose with that one. ;)
