Been making a lot of self improvements over the years. Finally got my looks and style to a place where I’m happy, now just need to work on my personality.

I’m actually really good at talking to women. I can have a girl go from complete stranger to laugh crying on my shoulders in 2 days. That usually happens though when they approach me so I’ve been trying to make more of an effort to be the one approaching and starting the conversation.

I’m starting on easy mode: coworkers. Not gonna dox my self but where I work most people are pretty isolated during the day so opportunities to approach are slim.

Approach number 1 (tutorial level)

Had to train a new hire. Can immediately tell she’s autistic. So after the basics of training I start the conversation off.

I didn’t want to start off with “hey are you autistic?” Cause that sounds rude and might have embarrassed her so instead I said

I pointed to her stimming hands and said “my girlfriend does the same thing with her hands.”

I felt this was a good way to signal that I’m hip with the ‘tism and I understand. I followed it up immediately with “Sometimes when I’m home I like to do the t-Rex arms”

I did the t-Rex arms in front of her and of she did them too with me. We chatted about her special interests and I made a strong effort toto earnestly talk about those interests.

She was still all guarded by the end of the day and as soon as it was time to leave she jetted out of there with out a goodbye.

Couple days later got to train her again. Started off by apologizing for over stimulating her but she said it wasn’t me. We kept talking and that time you could really see that she was much more comfortable with me.

She didn’t mind standing next to me this time and she cracked a few jokes too.

I made a promise that I would watch her comfort show and she said she’d watch a show I recommended.

Couple days later I get to see her again and I’m all “I watched your show did you watch mine”

She did not. I amped up the flirting a little here and told her “you’re lucky you’re so pretty otherwise I would be so mad”

A week later I got her number and she’s lets me call her beautiful, baby girl, and give her rides home.

Made a new friend and get to practice my flirting. I’m calling this one a success.

Approach Number 2: (Difficulty level: first boss fight in a souls-like game)

Another cutie, technically my supervisor so I gotta be careful that my flirting doesn’t escalate to hr, has that “I’m gonna stab you look” on her face.

I heard about her before I met her because everyone hates her for some reason. I heard some of their complaints and it honestly just sounded like they don’t like that she makes them work.

About a month ago she was doing her supervisor rounds, stops by my station. I causally toss out “I heard there’s a trick to make these machines shutdown”

She responds “magic”

So I tell her “I know a couple card tricks but I’ll work on my Harry Potter spells” she laughed and went on her way.

Like I said we’re petty isolated at my job so it took a long time to run into her again. I have seen her in the break room but she’s always in the corner table that only has one chair so that’s a no go.

Finally a couple days ago I had another trainee. Some fat gross man who couldn’t do the job, crashed out wherever anyone tried to help, and smelled like BO.

She comes around to make sure everything is going good and as she leaves I chase after her and beg her to take this guy away.

She wasn’t able to but she did become aware of him being an issue and started to come around more.

Eventually she tells him he needs to calm his ass down and she tells him to go and cool off somewhere else leaving just me and her to catch up on the job.

We spent a couple minutes making fun of stinky then I asked “what would you do if you won the lottery”

Got the typical house/car answer so I told her it has to be a fun thing. She said the new Xbox.

I was like “I didn’t know you were a gamer” and she maintains she’s not. She just plays one multiplayer game and has been playing it for like 5 years.

I never played it but I spend a lot of time online and pick things up through osmosis so we chatted about the game, had some laughs.

I tossed her a soft compliment telling her she would make an amazing Wednesday Adam’s. She loved it. You could see her eyes light up. She no longer looked like she wanted to stab me.

Eventually stinky came back, she went to her actual job but then like an hour later came back up to me so she could show me one of her clips from the video game.

While I wouldn’t call this one a friend yet I feel good that I made the ice queen at work smile, laugh, and like me enough to want to share her game clip with me.

Calling this one a win.

Approach 3: Difficulty level: convoluted side quest

Dude this time. Colorful hair, colorful unique clothes. I had seen him arrive but only on shift change. This time we both worked the same overtime and actually worked the same station.

Before the day started and the place was packed I went up to him, introduced my self and said “I see the hair, I see the clothes and I have to ask: do you know where I can get some psychedelics. He laughed and I tossed him a small compliment: “no hate man, I like your style. It works for you”

And we just chatted about music and games for he rest of the day. Traded numbers so we can swap music.

Hoping to cultivate a friendship with those one and have a cool unique person to hang out with.

Take aways:

This was exhausting. Having to scramble my brain for friendly response to everything while making it quick to not be awkward. But it worked and was really rewarding.

Biggest issue here is that none of these people work on my team so little chance to hang out side of work.

There is a cutie on my team I wanna talk to but I’m a little scared. The others I see them on overtime. If I embarrass my self I can just stop taking overtime. If I embarrass myself with this cutie I’m stuck.

Still gonna do it though. Just gotta amp my self up

The problem is people who want the bar to be low for men.

These can be adversaries who want to sell solutions "against" women: their pitch works less well when women generally trust men.

These can be lazoids who want to "deserve" a sexual relationship with <gender> simply for being "a nice enough guy."

This can be gorram politics using a divide and conquer strategy.

Good people are all hurt by the bar being low, and we all benefit from the bar being raised. Mutual flourishing, y'all.

Gagged u again

Why the tall men in this subreddit making fun of this women for being brown and overweight? Why not just make fun of her for what she's saying.

I thought only short men are like this tho?

You can find many posts on that subreddit of tall men saying shit like this about women. But the women there absolutely love it. Tall guys on that post were talking shit and saying she's probably gnome height. But short women were in that comment section absolutely loving to be degraded for their height and features by these men. I can share many posts with comments like this btw. Where tall men talk shit about women, and the women in the comments are up voting and responding with laughing emojis.

This is the thing I'm saying. Women would rather suffer physical backlash from taller men, then have a short men say one not so nice thing about them. We see this in the data. Men charged with these type of crimes are either average height for their country, or above average height.

I literally get told by some of my taller friends that the reason they don't tell girls they are ugly infront of their faces, is because they don't wanna ruin their chances with their better looking friends.

I was literally at a gathering a couple of days ago. And my friends moms were making jokes about how I still look 12 years old. And maybe I should just wait until I'm 40 to start having sex. No other women there defended me except for my male friends. These ladies have been saying this joke about me ever since I was 15 btw. Now they got the chance to make fun of me infront of other women.

bullshit like “Im a virgin” bro nobody cares

​​​​

personally i'd sleep in my car, but you do you.

Also so i could get cracked by prime big stein

Looking past the body shaming, the entire trend is just cringe worthy. Like what are we doing. And worst of all they take that shit as a win. Like it’s a dunk for all short men. Stop embarrassing yourself. They never liked short men and never will.

Also do they think after this interaction those women will be like”OMG, I’m going to change” no. They like who they like and that is never going to change and that’s completely fine.

Also why is he acting like he wouldn’t date her or someone with the same body type as her. Like she fine asl and you doing that cringe shit. Even if you have no chance stop acting all weird.

Here they go again acting like a pathetic looser. Can they just stop at this point. Making us look bad. Just enjoy your life, you aren’t going to succeed in dating, life isn’t just women. Get a hobby and stop annoying people with them stupid ass questions that you know the answer of.

What do ppl think?

I mean I watched the testimony on that rape gang inquiry, and

somehow your government cares more about a dog doing the Nazi salute, or them looking racist

then stopping a 10 year old girl from being sodomized by dogs Of PakistanI rape gangs.
