Why is pulling so hard?

    Apparently, when he does score, that's exactly what happens.

    Because he's so good looking, y'see.

    You didnt get my point tho, the point i was making was that he could end his dry spell by making an effort to go and chat up a woman rather then doing nothing and waiting for them to come to him

    P.S Guys for those saying 'oh your an insecure narcissistic' a narcissist would never admit to struggling to pull.


    The denial is strong in this one.....


    dude - stop defining yourself by how you think other people see you, or how you think they should see you

    Not exactly, I'd be like walking around dancefloor or bar and then they'd like tap me on the shoulder and be like 'eh your really good looking blah blah' but the problem is I don't look good enough to be confident that I can pull easily hence I wait for girls to come to me.

    Big decision about whether to go out tonight, so much at stake and not in mood to drink and the chances of me pulling without drink at so low, PP odds don't go up high enough for that.

    This doesn't happen

    I have to say EdenHazard you're growing on me. Not because you're all Justin Bieber this and Justin Bieber that, but because you remind me of a friend. Now I'm guessing your about 16/17, amIright?
    As you get older you will go through changes and become more confident in yourself. It's easy to pull when you know who you are and what you want.
    Take up bodybuilding. Your testosterone will be through the roof brah and the women will fall. It's all size brah ;)
    Stay away from the Juice though until you turn 21. You don't want to mess up your endocrine system.
    Workout at least 5 days a week and make sure to get plenty of rest. Drink lots of milk and make sure you're getting 3 liters of water in to your body each day.
    BCAAs can be very helpful, more so than protein power I find.
    Make sure you're getting plenty of Vitamin C, Zinc and Omega 3s 6s and 9s.
    Take a multivitamin too and you'll be flying in no time.

    Edenhazard you're not good lookin, you might get the best lookin girls in what ever small town your from but that does not equate to good lookin, ur photo presents a very Irish culchie head..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,477 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    If you're not comfortable then you can't even really portray confidence, not to mind actually "having some".

    If you don't think your comfortable in the club scene, then realistically this is not the place for you to be picking up women. I've a good few friends who I think look awkward in a club. They stand near the corners or at the bar with their drinks and they small talk to each other while staring around the place. It's not an attractive look, or vibe, to be giving off. Maybe try some pubs, where its easier to sit around with some of your friends and have a proper conversation with people, if this is the case. Or as mentioned, join a society or club.

    Personally, I make sure the majority of the people I go clubbing with are energetic, fun and the key part --> female. Go out with a few of your wimmin friends(without trying to hit on them), with just the intention to have some fun and you'll be surprised at how good a night you can have and the attention you may get from other women.

    Sometimes I find a good wingwoman is far better than a wingman :D

    Funny enough it used to happen to a mate of mine, now sadly no longer with us. Women would ask him to dance/buy him a drink/just walk up to him. Then again he was a tall handsome bloke who stood out. That's rare to be fair though.

    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.

    Eh nah, I just disagreed about your point. Looks are subjective so I can't say your wrong about the not good looking comment, harsh though.... But I defo don't look typical Irish, I actually don't really look Irish at all, most people presume I'm a foreigner, got told to go back to my own country by 2 nackers before :rolleyes:

    I never pull when I go out, but that's because I'm unattractive. Using science, I deduce you, too, are unattractive. The cure? Go to a darker bar.

    I look like Shrek but I have the prettiest hot shapely tight assed Eastern European girlfriend you ever saw. I don't have any money either. Before her was another hot Eastern European girl. I never pulled in clubs either without wanting to poke my eyes out the next day. Clubs just don't work for me. Maybe because I just can't hear what people say, dress casual all the time and usually drink too much. For some inexplicable reason I found girls throw themselves at me in work or in mutual activities where we get to know each other over time. For years I would watch drunk girls throw themselves at greasy Latino dudes in Coppers etc regardless of whether the Latino had any personality, character, had abuse convictions or could even speak english. It was very demoralizing and left me seeing a side of women I didnt like to see. I'm totally sorted now though. A bit of experience and knowing how to talk to girls counts for a lot.

    Ok rant mainly because people brought my looks into it so....

    Someone called me 'deluded' in here, deluded about what? Did u read the thread? Am I deluded about the fact I don't pull? So in actual fact, I do pull? Thanks for the compliment if so.

    I said when I pull, girls come up to me, its true, it doesn't happen often but when I do its how I usually get girls. Absolutely no reason for me to make that up in a thread I started about struggling to pull.
    But if it suits your agenda(or jealously for some odd reason) be my guest.

    I think youse think that I believe I'm some sort of ladies man or something hahahha, it couldn't be further from that.

    I'll say it again but you guys take my posts on here too seriously. Chillax like. I've posted at maximum 10 times about Justin Bieber, asked on the fashion forum(made for the kind of question) what hairstyle Olly Murs has and posted a few pics on here, mainly just because i got a new camera and said might as well stick a few of them up. I know boards might be full of some people who are the complete opposite to me and maybe hate what I stand for but yeah calm down like. Where's the hate for the regulars who plaster their faces around every 'know your' thread every few weeks? Also there's loads of other posts from me on here which are just general run of the mill typical boards posts.

    oh and finally thanks for the helpful tips from some of you here :) , but its not meant to be a personal issue thread, its you guys who direct these threads the way they go, everytime I post anything its always the same......ok its boards ha so hardy matters but is kind of annoying.

    oh and a P.S P.S will youse stop with the samantha brick comments, she's an ugly bint who think's she's the business, i'm gonna assume you guys must think judging by my pics that im full of myself(which again thank u for the compliment) but that is only your assumption, i think i boasted once in a thread ages ago which was quite clearly a joke but after hours really does take itself far too seriously. the beautiful people thread might look like it was boasting but i didnt think i'd get in(not that it matters i actually did think it was like proper exclusive beforehand) and i posted expecting it to be funny that I didn't make it in, guess your humor is different to mine though.

    I was very drunk but not a messy drunk lol I hope. I wish I had all that money back. It's a mugs game. In the company of your best friends the clubs are fun but otherwise if the company is shyte I find those places soulless. I could strike up a drunken conversation with someone like he was my best friend but in the end it was all about the drink and the smokes.

    *Major UPDATE*

    Sadly bad news, severe lack of pulling and I was fairly locked so exuses out the window, seems no hope left. Just gone out the back and burned all my wannabe justin bieber clothes. I think I'm just gonna sit back and try be fat from here on in, least that way my humongous ego will be squashed by my humongous excess fat and all my hope will be gone. I think I'd be happier that way.

    Pick yourself up, head off to the gym and use this dry spell to get some gains in. There's no point sitting around your burning justin bieber camp fire getting fat off of tubs of ice cream like a woman. You think that's going to help the situation?

    Yeah it will. I don't even need to repeat it but the lads here have already summed it up for you. Just go out with your mates and if you get talking to people, talk to them to have a laugh not to get in their pants. I guarantee you'll be getting a lot of interest this way.

    And I'm sure you've got some vanity along with that ego yeah? Well making yourself unhealthy when you want to do all you can to get a GF won't help you. In fact if you do gain a load of weight, will you be attracted to whatever comes at you and will they be good enough for you and your standards?

    Btw, what age are you?

    When all seems lost and society has rejected you there's only one thing left to do. Become a vigilante. Go find some people up to no good and beat them up with a lump of a stick. Priests would be my recommendation.
