[QUOTE=Foghorn;28237063]:geno: Get out.[/QUOTE] Your avatar terrifies me.
[QUOTE=Foghorn;28236912]No, seriously. I mean you pretty much know THE rules of women and how they work and I mean you're like, really attractive. shit are you....God?[/QUOTE] Me attractive? Woman, you need glasses.
you can tell when a girl means it and when she's fishing if you really know her well, you'll know if she just wants you to make her feel better or if that's what she truly believes and you'll know what to say [editline]23rd February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=MaverickIB;28237203]Me attractive? Woman, you need glasses.[/QUOTE] I have them. Lemme just get them... HOLY SMOKES YOU ARE A HOG D: [editline]23rd February 2011[/editline] ;) [editline]23rd February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=ViciousRaptor;28237182]but how get girl to let penis in vageina without screem? i confuze[/QUOTE] Get. The fuck. Out.
[QUOTE=MaverickIB;28237168]I know you're going to hate me saying this, but she's just hunting for attention. It makes her feel good when you lathe her in compliments, so she continually tells you that she thinks she's ugly in order to get them. It's a lot like skinny girls telling everyone that they think they're fat, they love when people jump all over them telling them how awesome their body is. This isn't necessarily a conscious thing, sometimes it happens subconsciously. Like any addiction, the best way to handle it is to shut it out. Instead of shooting compliments her way when she complains about being ugly, just ignore it or change the subject right away. Eventually, she'll start being more aggressive about it because she'll want you to fucking compliment her. Just stay the course, fight through her withdrawals, and through time she'll stop whoring for attention.[/QUOTE] I dunno, she doesn't seem like the attention seeking type. I've thought about it a lot, and I've considered it, but I'm not sure. Is there a way I can be certain before I take your advice? It seems if it's not that, it could do more bad than good. Also, how would I go about changing the subject without it seeming like I'm intentionally trying to avoid it?

What does the IB mean in your name?
ib? it means INCREDIBLY BADASS [editline]23rd February 2011[/editline] or INSANE BASTARD
There is no "type" for attention seeking. Sure, there's really obnoxious people that are obviously hunting for it, but that's not the only kind of attention seeking person. I mean, who really constantly brings up their faults? I have goofy ass eyes, do I go around entering conversations and trying my hardest to bring up my goofy eyes? Do fat people constantly bring up the fact that they're fat (unless they're joking about it)? If you're not talking about her physical appearance and she brings it up, it's pretty clear that she's hunting for some attention, yes? Just gotta deflect the conversation when she brings it up. If she says, "I don't think I'm pretty," you can just keep going as if you never heard her say that. If she gets direct and says, "Do you think I'm pretty?" you can just respond with, "Does it matter?" If she gets all upset about a response like that, there's some issues y'all need to work out before the relationship goes any farther.
I love coins Any tips on that?
GD is fucked beyond comprehension if Love Advice got deleted. It was killed due to innactivity, but I am pretty sure we are going to get one LA-thread per 2 days, unless this thread does its job.
[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;28237332]What does the IB mean in your name?[/QUOTE] A looooong time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I was a huge Halo fan. When I was 13-14 or so, I was on a Halo forum called Halo.iBonk.org. My name there was Maverick. When it closed down in the 8th grade or so, I started using the name "MaverickiB" at every website/forum I went to in an attempt to pay homage to where my roots are. Interestingly enough, a lot of what I tell people here is what was told to me at iBonk, since I was a little kid asking for advice on girls. There was this older guy that was always helping me out, which is kind of what inspired me to be the same way.

If I tell her she's pretty and she then says she isn't, is that when I should just completely avoid engaging her, or should I just say "that's absurd" or something and talk about something else?

Compliments have more weight when they're sparsely received anyways.
Okay. Thanks Maverick, I [I]really[/I] appreciate it. You're a real bro.
[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;28237438]GD is fucked beyond comprehension if Love Advice got deleted. It was killed due to innactivity, but I am pretty sure we are going to get one LA-thread per 2 days, unless this thread does its job.[/QUOTE] This thread is great but it won't fix the main problem here on GD, which is: people don't take the 20 seconds required to see if their question has already been answer. This problem is further complicated by all the idiots thinking their situation is unique when it really isn't. [QUOTE=MaverickIB;28237525]You should just stop telling her that she's pretty. Compliments have more weight when they're sparsely received anyways.[/QUOTE] Yeah, compliments also mean a lot more when you're not being asked for them. Why women often can't seem to figure this out, I'll never know.
LA was also my vessel of hope for someday becoming a moderator, so that dream has been crushed as well :( Damn, and I had just published my first sticky thread ever, haha.
Go get em' Maverick.
There is also Wing Girls on youtube, they are are girls. WHat do oyu think - taking advice from girls for such things is good?
Taking advice from girls is a terrible idea. Girls will tell you that writing a note and/or telling a girl you've always loved her is cute/whatever. The bottom line is that girls think that shit is cute until it happens to them, which is when they find it creepy. In reality, they just want guys that look like Brad Pitt doing crap like that for them. It's okay to take a girl's input on problems you're having and whatnot, but you should take it with a grain of salt. Girls have a habit of living in fantasy worlds, they say they want guys outside their window holding a stereo, but when that really happens, they call the police.
So is this thread going to be the replacement for LA or what?
Hey guys :buddy: I've been going out with my girlfriend for over a month now, and theres only one thing I dislike - Shes very quiet around me, yet really talkative around her friends. How can I get her to talk to me more or be more enthusiastic? She says shes fine and that nothing's wrong, but it could obviously be better. Plus i am a really outgoing guy, so I don't know what else i could do :sigh:
Ive said it before, and I'll say it again, I fucking love you Maverick.
Damnit, it sucks that love advice is gone. been my most posted in forum for over half a year. Now gd is gonna get flooded by the ridiculous threads we'd see in la, but now they will be given much more attentiion.

Fuck, what happened to LA?

I had a habit of asking advice from my female friends. Where I got with that advice? I got turned down girl after girl. Then I finally grew some fucking balls and started acting like a man should. Now I'm steady with a girlfriend already for 4 months, with two previous relationships behind me and several other girls that I might get into a relationship anytime I wanted to. It's all in the balls.

Which isn't exactly a bad thing, it just shows that she still wants to look good/impress you. Once she beings to stop worrying about making a good impression for you, she'll start opening up.
Maverick, someone told you about the love advice group, right? [editline]23rd February 2011[/editline] If it's not already (I don't have time to check) you should add this to the OP for people who want responses to their problems: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/group.php?groupid=2226[/url]
