not sure what's worse: the "be obnoxiously cocky no matter what" advice or the bunch of **** that Cuddowls wrote


as many have pointed out there's no set formula that'll bring you success in every scenario, but the general rules would be:
1. take care of yourself. means personal hygiene, wearing clothes that fit, at least a decent-looking hairstyle, healthy diet, working out, studying, reading etc
2. DO listen to what people have to say to you when they are talking to you. instead of bombarding them with questions after questions try to make some positive remarks after they say something, just say it like you actually mean it and not only doing it for the sake of doing it.
3. people dig compliments. not the walking up to a grill and saying "omg ur so hawt" while drooling but the ones that you actually mean. bonus points if it's their clothes/their work, basically anything that's the result of THEIR effort and not something that was given to them (like naturally good looks)
4. you have to put yourself out there to meet new people and experience things. we've all heard plenty of comfort zone memes but no matter how small, from answering out loud in class to going to an arts exhibition by yourself, it will help you get more comfortable with yourself and build up confidence (after the first few anxiety attacks). basically you have to develop a mentality where you do things not to impress others but because you want to do them and you don't care about the outcome (aka the "don't give a ****" attitude). this is probably the hardest part because a lot of people take this for a "be an ******* to everyone and dgaf" message but that is not correct. what it means is that before doing something you ask yourself whether you really want to do it or only because someone asked you to/you dislike X/ this might impress Y.
5. accept that you can't and won't be liked by everyone. doing what I said in 4. just helps figure out who likes you and who doesn't. basically by having integrity and doing what you want and feel is right will categorize people. by not being afraid to speak when you have something to contribute to a conversation you put yourself out there and people get to know something about you (like what you did during the weekend/what you like/what your hobbies are etc)
6. HOBBIES. they and work/school are #1 for meeting new people. other than working out take up a sport as a hobby or learn to play a musical instrument or even do some crazy **** like rock climbing (can recommend actually it's a lot of fun). it's just as important to have an active thing to do as it is to read and educate yourself
7. strong eye contact and posture help a lot. be relaxed and confident while walking/sitting/doing whatever. don't look at the ground while walking and look people in the eyes when talking to them
8. don't use pickup lines. don't be an "obnoxiously cocky" guy. every person who's at least half a cent worth will see through your ******** immediately and will reject you. if you ever gather up the balls to approach a girl just greet them and introduce yourself, no need for corny pickup ****.
8. be confident. even if you have to fake it, as long as you're not mistaking it for arrogance, it WILL help. figure out a plan before doing some ****, trust that ****, and do that ****

TL;DR: be yourself. do **** ONLY for yourself. be confident. don't be an arrogant *******

Why?
Building rapport is pretty much THE BEST way to get friend zoned.
Breaking it makes things exciting for her.

Her: "I play a lot of League"
You: "Oh, me too, what's your favorite champion?"

Fail, you're her ****ing friend now. This is how most people would advocate you talk to a girl because they have no ****ing respect for the primal mind of humans.

Her: "I play a lot of League"
You: "Oh so are you like a complete nerd?"

Personal to her and it's lighthearted. If she likes you, she'll start qualifying herself probably.

Her: "I play a lot of League"
You: "I don't like that game."

This is neutral. You don't take any steps forward, and it's probably a slight step backward. If you say this, you really don't like League and you are looking at her less favorably in your mind. This is an observation she will make and attraction obviously goes down.

I don't think repeatedly showing desinterest regarding the way the girl chose to live her life is a good foundation to start a relationship upon :p

Showing desinterest as well as interest is fine, as long as you are being honest and aren't playing a dating sim trying to hit the right answers.

My great idea for talking with women is to treat them like they're men,

It seems to be working.
Exactly. I find that a number of people tend to think that the opposite gender is some kind of alien race that are unable to understand their behaviour. We aren't aliens, genders aren't thát different in behaviour and ways of life. If you just act like a human being, be honest and also treat women like human beings everything should work out.

Last thing you want is to live your life with someone you don't understand and to just lie to her every day just so you can stay in a relationship.
Change is gooooood

Be honest now, do you really think Cuddles ever dated another human being?
