    I know this isn't a dating site but that's not why I'm here, I'm a fairly average lad, 21, all that craic, but my personality seems to be lacking. I just dont talk a whole lot, man of few words I am called. It affects me with a lot of things, And I"ve been told I have one of them faces that, even when your face is just relaxed it looks like your annoyed. I find it hard to talk to women too and that's the main reason Im putting this up, how can I improve this situation and even meet someone?

    Any help is much appreciated.

    ...talk more. It doesn't sound like a problem at all. Try being a bit happier with yourself.

    Talk to women. Forget they're women. Most of all forget your own ego and self concern about how you come across and talk more to people. Get involved. Repeat for practice and for life.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Get off the internet first of all, you meet all sorts of creeps here - you'll never get a woman under 30 and not covered in a pizza topping on the internet.

    Great advice, I tend to see them as mere screeches in the back of my eardrum.

    Viagra!! Stop living in denial. It doesn't make you any less of a man*.












    *Yes it does.

    Just talk and not care, about five years ago I worked with this guy who was mental (more than a few screws loose) and foxy and tubby but he had no shame whenever I was out with him, went up to every girl, didn't give a shit, tried it on with anyone, pulled every single night, really opened my eyes.

    Instead of saying 'hello' in a bar just gently slap you penis against their leg, they love this


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    I'm probably the same as the OP, don't talk a lot and probably look pissed off 99% of the time, only difference is I don't give a toss.

    That is great advice, I'm sure the woman he forces himself on will be grateful.

    you might be right there, sure we'll leave it where is for now and see what happens. Sure we'll get a laugh if nothin else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,417 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


    I knew a guy or two like you. Take an attitude of repentence all the time.. As if you have something to be sorry about (even when you dont).. Or go the evil route.. Reel em in with offers to pay for lots of nice things on a regular basis but grind them down and make them believe their nothing without you?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭LETHAL LADY


    I dont know you and for all I know you could be quasimodo but most people are actually quite nice and polite if you approach them.
    Stop fretting about it, whats the worst could happen they say no, plenty more fish (rude) in the sea.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,300 ✭✭✭HazDanz


    OP I just put what you've said into a Text to Speech program. It's made me laugh hard and I don't know why!

    You should book yourself a holiday over to Thailand, you'll find that these traits are looked upon more favourably over there.

    That could be awkward with a really hot girl, I'd get an erection, start to grin like a fool, turn red and sweat. And dry-humping her isn't going to make things better.

    Been there OP! I could tell you to change our life and personality and become a social/conversational dynamo but that tends not to happen. Quiet people tend to remain quiet people - loud people remain loud. Of course, take any oppurtunity to put yourself out there more but be yourself.

    You seem to be saying that you're not great on the first impressions - so you gotta play to your strengths by allowing people (women) to grow to like you........wear them down if you will ;)

    So join a team, club or society. There youdon't have to make one big first impression just turn up and have the craic.

    Quiet men tend to marry ridiculously chatty women - fact (source: me)
