You know what I got from that one? Treat her like shit and you'll get out of the friend zone. "Call her demented, or a retard." Yeah, you know how the ladies love that. What a fucking moron.

You've got the right, same as anybody, to live and try to kill people.

I don't know much about psychology, so I don't know how to evaluate their suggestions through anything other than trying them. It's hard to verify that you really have a control group though.

However, if their ability to market is comparable to their ability to seduce, then it's easy to see that these guys aren't unapproachable masters of their art.

Anyhow, this stuff has all been common knowledge for so long now that it's not unusual to bump into someone on Omegle who blatantly tries to follow it. It's about as common as the more traditional style of desperate/manipulative loners which sites like this deride.

I will say though, that when it comes to these matters, "Be yourself" is about the most unscientific and fatalistic advice that can be given. It's similar to saying "Only the wrong ones say no". Sorry, but rejection/acceptance is your responsibility. If it's not a matter of effort, then you don't know what you're doing.

Actually, it's really about staying objective, and not playing favorites. Show someone you're not afraid to call them out on being moronic, and you show them that anything positive you've said about them was real, and wasn't said out of mindless infatuation (aka just wanting them for sex).

I'd say the best strategy for finding a quality relationship is to destroy attraction, even liking, while also mutually entertaining each other. Because when attraction is a factor, it's hard to tell whether some one genuinely likes you and what you say, or is 'under the influence' of hormones.

There's another school that goes by "make them feel special". I think people already know how special they are, or not. I tend to be interested in people who seem special to me, not in the people who think I'm special. Heck, they may even think the opposite and I'd be fine with that, but maybe that's just me.

Well when I read the title I thought to myself immediately (*F8ck I just lost the game*) then I came in and was like...oh...well...my day is just messed up now.
