Akili and I were talking yesterday about girls, boys, and relationships. and this is what we came up with:
Don't listen to
fuckwits tell you what they think you need to know about this, they don't know any thing it'll only lead to many slaps (for the most of you) and disappointment (for ALL of you) What it is a bullshit method that makes a mountain out of a virtual mole hill.
Your first mistake is thinking of a relationship as a "Task" and a perspective mate as a "target" your not a SEAL or a member of Uncle Sams Misguided Children*. So stop acting like it.
Here are a few things that have served me really well and have lead to my relationships being stable and wonderful:
1 DON'T be a Jagoff!!! (this is rude and wrong and will probably serve you a punch in the face)
2 Men and Women are human beings talk to them as such. (if you are confused refer to 1)
3 If you wish to dress up have fun, wear what you feel is cool. Don't get hung up on what others think. Remember you're attracting YOUR perspective partner not anyone else. (refer to 1)
4) Be positive about your self. This took me a while but once I started thinking positively I had a smile on my face and I had a bunch of confidence. (refer to 1)
5) You cannot get what you do not ask for. Don't be afraid of actually asking that special someone out. Its nerve racking the first time but give it a try! Muscle up some confidence and do it.
(refer to 1)
6) Disco's, nightclubs, and trance-bars are the WORST places to meet people. loud music prevents conversation and if you want more then some stranger grinding up against rather then conversation that might lead someplace, find a quieter venue. (refer to 1)
7) Its okay to talk but remember your not the only person in the room. (refer to 1)
8) Common interests rock! That might mean keeping your eyes open at your favorite places. Just because you fancy Fantasy books and D&D doesn't mean that there isn't some one for you. (refer to 1)
9) tasty tasty food! If you are lucky enough to live in a big city with a large amount of restaurants try asking your date out for dinner (this works for friends too) try something exotic if your gutsy or high quality favorites. You can't go wrong on an full stomach. (refer to 1 and 7)
10) Be your self. I cannot stress this enough, try to avoid lying about yourself to impress your date. They might call your bluff and slap you (also that's called being a Jagoff) stick to the truth even if you still haven't decided what to do with your life, people like honesty.
11) nice guys do not finish last! This is a lie. the "nice guys" in this statement are closet un-confident douche bags that piss and moan about how women look them over but lack the balls to ask them out. Do your selves a favor and refer to 1, 5, and 7. Grow a pair!
These are a few points of "the tao of sid" soon to be written and published. Many thanks to my rad rad girlfriend who is an example and inspiration to this list, and my equally rad roomie who stayed up all night last night talking to me about this!
* if you are a SEAL or USMC still try and turn off your targeting system and act like a normal human being
