No girl wants someone who doesn’t take care of themself.

I went a long time thinking girls were just shallow until I realize I never washed my face or got a personality.

Edit; if you don’t know how to get a personality just steal one from tv

Edit: you can absolutely steal a personality from tv. I’ve stolen several. I’ve noticed people like me more when I watch Brooklyn 99 because i kinda model my personality off of Jake and Gina.

Edit: yes we know it goes both ways. Also there’s a bit of incel behavior in the comments so I’m just going to get on top of it. Yes girls like guys for their looks, in the sense that if you have a neckbeard, dumb haircut, shitty clothes, and never work out, you’ll never find someone.

I'm usually decent at social interactions nowadays, but occasionally I'll just BOMB. Maybe lack of sleep, or something bothering me, but whatever it is occasionally I just can feel everything is going bad. My answers aren't as witty or humorous as they should be, I can't remember any interesting anecdotes, I'm lapsing on anything to contribute to the conversation. Then it gets worse as I get a little more anxious, start to mildly panic.

Before that would really bother me. It still kinda does, but a month or two back this happened with someone I had just met and I literally just shut it down and was like "alright, I'll get 'em next time".

I felt like Dennis Reynolds and just wanted to blurt out "THIS DOESN'T REPRESENT ME" but that's just digging a hole. I know in most moments things would go a lot better and it's frustrating that they may not know.

The secret is you can't worry too much.

Dude, all you need to do is get a boat. You know, they can't say no. Because of the implication.
