Great.

Cons
Short (5' 3")
Brown
Quiet/shy
Tee-total

Pros
Decent-looking
Nice place and car
Well-off
Good friends
Happy with life
Good cook
Well-balanced mentally

Frankly, apart from the "Cons", I'm feel pretty good. Now, how to get women to look past the "Cons" especially when there are other men around...

 

[Warm Machine]

Why? Why would i need/want to drink at all in the first place? (Other than the society's damnable "because we do it" attitude, which i don't care for nor listen to)

Yeah, i need a reason. Good one. As i said, i'm not one for the experiences themselves so...
Don't ask why i'm like this, it is just what i am.

"I love drinking; I hate people who don't drink. Never met an interesting person in my life who didn't drink. If you don't drink you're a boring cunt and all your stories suck. All your stories end the same way: "and then I got home." No one cares that you've been promoted at work and nobody gives a shit that your kids don't have bruises. Ever asked a non-drinker why they don't drink? same fucking answer, "I don't like the taste of it." NONE OF US DO! Nobody likes the taste of it! Nobodies ever had a shot of tequila and said "oh, that was lovely! I think I'll have that next time instead of pudding. It's so morish." We drink because we fucking have to. We drink because life's shit and you gotta do whatever it takes to get through the day.
I've decided that I'm going to punch people in the face if they say the following sentence and I encourage you to do the same because they think they're better than you. Anyone who says, "I don't need to drink or take drugs to have fun. I'm high on life." punch that cunt in the head until your hand breaks. Just "Really? [punch] Well I'm angry on alcohol...Now drive me home." - Jim Jefferies

See through the vitriol of the quote and to the underlying truth. Being out with friends and doing things you wouldn't ordinarily do gives you interesting life experience you can relate to others for entertainment. People go out and socialize and drink to be enthralled and engaged and possibly have their own adventure where the night takes them.

 

[Woorloog]

In moderation, it has health benefits. Again, IN MODERATION.

I know. But that's not what i was asking.
I was asking why drink in the first place?
And as i said, i think the negatives outweight the benefits (And what i didn't mention before, since they don't really factor into my decision but i'll say this for completness' sake: I may belong to a risk group, my family seems to have pre-disposition to alcoholism and other issues, though i don't know for sure)

EDIT i have no issues with other people drinking. Do what you like.

EDIT apologies going a bit off-topic. I think i need to make a thread about people and for people who don't drink.

Sex is pretty much the most overrated thing in existance. Yeah, I would rather do that then say pull hairs from my taint but still.

Thank you @NeoGAFshitposts for bringing this post into my life.

Yeah man, it's only the thing that makes human life possible. I don't get the hype either!

If it were for me, we would all reproduce through parthenogenesis.

 

[Crash Station]

But here's the thing, a couple of you sound generally uptight, and this definitely won't help in your endeavors.

Based on what I've seen, you don't have much room to complain about other people being uptight.

That being said, there has to be a middle ground. Straight-edge people that see themselves as better than everyone are almost as bad as those that have a "if you're not drinking, you're not living" philosophy. I think people that don't drink have a right to not be seen as sub-human and questioned at every opportunity, just like those that do have the same right.

I'm not the one asking for pro/con comparisons about drinking here.

 

[Surface of Me]

I think I'm a little picky as well, for a relationship I definitely want that "click" with personalities, but I haven't really had that with many people.

 

[Crash Station]

Anyway, I become even MORE self-conscious after a bit of alcohol. I'll at least talk to the people around me when I'm sober. I'll just stay 100% silent if I'm tipsy/drunk.

 

[Foffy]

But here's the thing, a couple of you sound generally uptight, and this definitely won't help in your endeavors.

I can only speak for myself. It's not a sense of being uptight, but more of a focus on other things in my life, as I believe I said originally in this thread. My focus is on very different, very specific things (if you want to know one example, vocation and self-validation), so anything else that isn't that is really shrugged off for the time being. It's not a sense of making a defense or being hostile to those things entirely, but really more of focusing on my own niches and habits for the present frame of time. If I came off as seeing abhorrent to such thing in their entirety, I apologize. It's just for me, what I view and what I presently long for, that shit's not in the repertoire in my life. And as I have said previously, it's fine if it is for others; I have my own vices. The people full on battling it should really not even be prying into it if they don't do it, was well as those doing it battling those who don't. Different strokes, different folks, or whatever silly cliche you wish to accommodate for this stuff. What clicks for you does not mean it will click for another.

Not interesed in experienses like that.
I have very narrow field of interests (ignoring that depression kinda kills any interests). Socializing is not one of them. Experiences for experience's sake are not really interesting.
"Adventuring"? Yeah, no, not in that form.

Yes, i know i have bias against alcohol (for myself, others can do whatever they want) and it makes it hard to see this from the other POV.

A couple of more points i think i should mention: I'm not sure i want to lower any inhibitions i have. Perhaps i fear that? Anyway, i have quite a bit resentment and hate due to various things, toward various things. Don't really want to let those loose.

 

[FartOfWar]

It also makes for pretty good start up conversations with just about anyone. The bartender, a friend, what do you recommend here? What's your drink of choice? It's one of those things where enough people do it and it can be used as a pretty good icebreaker since it's not niche.

I get boozed up beyond belief and throw lines from this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnpGBbs01so They never know I'm swiping. I feel like I have a modern day Cyrano with me at all times.

 

[maxxpower]

-fellow brown dude

It's definitely a con, depending on where you live.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Hmm, actually also include barely virgins too.

Are "barely virgins" the ones who only put the tip in?

 

[Commander Jameson]

I know. If I was 6' and brown (or 5' 3" and white), I think it would be much less of an issue. I don't seem to fit in anywhere; in majority-white groups or Asian groups.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I think the onus of the guilt here is on such places, not the brown people.

 

[andymcc]

they're the ones that attempt to have sex but the heat emanating from the vagina cases them to ejaculate prior to entry.

 

[Piggus]

You're doing it wrong.

Good sex is incredibly awesome and memorable when you feel really connected to the person. It's probably the least overrated thing I can think of. My gf acts uninterested in sex for the most part but when we both get into it it's amazing. You just need to go slow since foreplay really does make it a lot more awesome.

People need to stop being so intimidated by it though. It's amazing, but it's not something you should be actively pursuing. Pursue things that will make your life better (such as losing weight, eating healthy, and gaining confidence) and you'll eventually have that special person.

 

[Commander Jameson]

For sure. I don't feel guilty at all for what I am. But I just don't know how to get other people to see past it because it's one of the few things I can't change.

 

[Karl2177]

You forget the parts where I don't feel too good. When I have a headache and vomiting, kinda hard to hide that. Even with just a headache, I'd be less amusing to talk to.

well that sucks

I know. If I was 6' and brown (or 5' 3" and white), I think it would be much less of an issue. I don't seem to fit in anywhere; in majority-white groups or Asian groups.

Don't worry about fitting in based on your appearance. That's some pretty superficial stuff.

 

[Timedog]

Many people are inable to want to change anything about themselves. If you are unwillingly to change or try on different points of view, just wack off to internet porn and do your thing. There's nothing wrong with that. But don't expect the world around you to suddenly change, and for you to start getting laid, when that hasn't happened for your entire life.

Seems like there's a bunch of people who act like they want to change, they acknowledge that there's a problem, but then when they receive any criticism they fight against it vehemently. You obviously do not know the solution to your problem, or else you would have solved it by now. So either listen to others who may be able to help, or quit even thinking about getting laid. Shit or get off the pot.

I wonder how many would change themselves if someone would give them a little push IRL.
Stuff in the internet is after all easy to ignore.
You know, perhaps some fear change alone, but with someone behind them they might be very willing to do that. Personal pressure, it is quite different from peer-pressure or internet advice.

 

[AcceptableGhost]

In real life I have probably had (proper) conversations with like 3-5 people total since the beginning of the year.

 

[Jzero]

Don't really feel like making the effort of finding someone to get laid with.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Are girls into 5'7 140lb Asian Guys?

Some are.

 

[maxxpower]

I don't see the point in getting a girlfriend anyway. As soon as I disappoint the fuck out of her in bed she'll dump me so I'll be back to square one.

 

[threetri333]

Point me to them!

That sounds like confidence issue? EDIT insecurity, whatever it is the proper word?
Gotta work over things like that in a good relationship, no?

What if you're disappointed in her? Just asking what you think you'd do.

 

[Devolution]

Not gonna find too many of 'em on GAF. Except Shan but she's taken.

Great sex doesn't just happen. It takes getting to know each other.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

I think your avatar might be the problem if you're really into that shit

You forgot to add "pony avatar"

Yes, because women can't respect a man for watching shows that aren't targeted to 18-35 year old men.

 

[Foffy]

The only person that matters to you that you could ever hope to disappoint is yourself. It sounds like you've already assumed the worst in a situation where you haven't yet tried.

 

[andymcc]

Yes, because women can't respect a man for watching shows that aren't targeted to 18-35 year old men.

unless she is well-acquainted with the show, i think she'd perceive a significant difference between a guy that likes a superhero cartoon or a shonen anime and a cartoon with fucking girl ponies.

If you want some brutal honesty it's not a good/hot look what so ever.

 

[Raxus]

Even then. Why would you bring it up immediately. If at all. Surely you would have something else about you to share about that she would be interested in.

 

[Astral]

I just don't talk to people unless the situation forces me to. That's pretty much it I think.

i can agree with you but let's be perfectly honest here and think of how many self-identified MLP fans can be outed publicly due to embarrassingly wearing the merchandise like a t-shirt chastity belt.

 

[jon bones]

if you've admittedly had trouble connecting with women all this time, don't you think it's time you tried listening to some outside advice and rethinking some things?

To be honest unless you're just finding people into the same shit, making any show/game/whatever that much a part of your personality is kind of offputting.
