    when meeting new people or trying to impress employers/women how do you make it look like your a sophisticated person ? do you talk about achievements or do you dress in a rousing fashion ?

    Am self confident enough that I don't make myself out to be anything other than I already am. Which is only fantastic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 222 ✭✭Captain Farrell


    Just be myself. Acts don't impress anyone who is worth impressing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Slam my BMW car keys on the counter.

    Such gimicry is beneath one such as I.

    I am a man of obvious refinement.

    It's never something I think about. I talk casually with people. If I want to "raise my profile," I prefer to make people included in what I'm discussing. Although, a few people I know would suggest I don't do that too often, I can be quite a dismissive git appearently :P

    Route through the wad of 500's looking for my politzer prize and accidently Flash the pictures of me taking on 5 Eskimos attempting to club a seal.

    If that fails I'll usually end up in Coppers...

    Everyone knows the politzer is the poor mans Pulitzer.

    Dressing well, and in a manner becoming of the social context in which you find yourself, will always create a good impression.

    Unfortunately it is something that many Irish men really struggle with, many of whom look like they've dressed in the dark with clothes rooted out of a skip behind a charity shop.

    A pair of cheap boot cut jeans, dirty runners and a Metallica tshirt might do the trick if you work in Gamestop, but it doesn't take much effort to dress well.

    Lazy generalization. I'd say it's more a reflection of you if they're the only men you know.

    Stuff my bra with bog roll.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,468 ✭✭✭✭OldNotWIse


    I dont like people so I dont bother my hole trying to impress. Having said that, I manage to be immensely popular anyway. It's weird :P










    ...then remembers the daily routine of getting out of bed early to shower, do makeup. hair etc and the general not wearing of trousers or flat shoes Monday to Friday :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,642 ✭✭✭MRnotlob606


    I stuff my skundies with rocks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,314 ✭✭✭caustic 1


    Have a notion that as you get older you couldn't give a flying fluck what anyone thinks... maybe that's just me.

    We could be twins, but I don't like you either! :eek:



    "Feelings mutual" says you! :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,465 ✭✭✭✭cantdecide


    Honestly, I won't do the little dance even if it means I somehow gain from it. I'm the same cantdecide for all seasons. I'd rather be dismissed for the right reasons than accepted for the wrong ones.

    Do you look upon women as some kind of opportunity?

    Seriously; be yourself - shallowness doesn't impress.

    Ach, only with other shallow people. I wouldn't want anything to with them, in any case :D

    *Lord Flasheart opens the door..

    Lord Flasheart: Enter the man who has no underwear. Ask me why.

    Lieutenant George: Why do you have no underwear, Lord Flash?

    Lord Flasheart: Because the pants haven't been built yet that'll take the job on!

    Lord Flasheart: Woof Woof!

    I fart loudly, creates a great first impression. Not entirely sure why I'm single, but have always assumed it was for other reasons.

    You a guy or a girl? Because women who are in control of their gatrointestinal expulsions are the ultimate aphrodesiac :p

    I go against consensus. I openly disagree with people (after researching my argument). Boards give me good practice.

    No he is dead right!
