I think that criminals and psychopaths have a better chance of making a relationship last longer than me.

Please don't take this the wrong way but the fact that you can look at it from their point of view....

ie the psychopaths/criminals point of view

And gauge there ability to form any sort of relation ship,

Means that by default not only do you have infinitely more chance of forming said relationship, but also the capacity to make it last.

Say wha? So being abusive, violent and going out of control gives me a better chance of getting the one I want.
Why did no-one tell me this before?

It's a confidence thing. Some people take it too far.

Those who have no confidence never ask a woman. And women rarely ask men. So the shy guy is stuck.

The most likely person to care is your future girlfriend. And she goes by touch more than looks.

I will admit though, it's an interesting thing to look closely in the mirror and see muscles changing shape.

Right, I don't think it worked.
Just told a woman how worthless they are and how I would hurt them. I haven't heard back.

Confidence for men? Heck! Girls have to have confidence as well!! !! !

My last boyfriend(not sure about our status right now, I think significant other) rode my case because I was supposed to be confident about *myself* not just my accomplishments. Meh.

I was browsing my acquaintances on FB the other day and I realized something.

Literally all my real life acquaintances are in relationships, my coworkers, my former college colleagues , school colleagues.

Well, some things can be faked.

Some things can be exaggerated.

But not everything can be faked.

and this thread isn't about people who try to appear 'cool' on FB.

Sure everything can be faked. I could even Photoshop myself into the driving seat of a Lamborghini and post that on Facebook if I wanted.

And my point was, don't put too much thought into how good people make themselves look on Facebook, it's all exaggerated.

Maybe. I'm not sure about the state of that relationship. We are both stressing out, and there are just a lot of details to it, and we are going back and forth, and bleh. Complications. Something that I used to be so sure about is now is an empty hope. So I don't *have* a relationship....I have the idea of one, I have the hope of one, I have the history of one, I have the maybe of one but nothing is sure.

PastFixaions:

I in no way shape or form said go out and act like a criminal/psychopath and treat women like dirt. :roll:

I meant that being able to see from the prospective of another is a valuable trait to have. :D

Like I said meant no offense, not used to being listened to at all.

Clarifying. Usually the guy asks the girl to start the relationship. The guy has to have confidence every step of the way, to build to that point.

The girl just has to sit there for the ride.

Your man is acting weird. Hope it turns out okay.

While I do agree with you that I have felt that way plenty of times, I will also state that if you want to be in a relationship just so you can have bragging rights on Facebook and abroad, you're not going to be a happy camper. I know from experience that while I would like to be in a relationship, I would rather be in no relationship than a bad relationship. So you see that all these Facebook friends of yours are in relationships and thus have better "romantic" skills than you, but do you know what goes on behind closed doors? I can bet you that a lot of those people on your list are in relationships they're not all that happy with. People will settle into relationships just for the sake of being in a relationship and it turns into a disaster. You don't want to be that person. Don't care what other people are doing; focus on what your life goals are and what makes you happy.

If you truly believe that being in a relationship would make you more happy, then I suggest seeking out a group of guys who get together and help other guys with this part of their lives. I'm pretty sure there is such a group that meets near where you live. Look them up on meetup.com.
