BoshStrikesBack 11/02/11 12:47:00 PM #251:	People should continually work to improve themselves. That doesn't mean they should completely change who they are. This is a completely arbitrary distinction. For some people, improving courtship skills is "changing who one is"; for others, it's not. All you're doing is trying to deflect the question behind an empty sentiment. literally needing self assurance on a post....maybe youre a beta too..... Maybe. Better a beta here than an abject loser everywhere. I can still maintain a respectful approach to women and better myself as a person. I can become a better me and not turn into a manipulative, sex-centric douchebag. Tying this in to what I said above, you've established that improving your courtship skills constitutes "changing yourself" instead of "improving yourself." Again, going back to what I said earlier- which you still haven't bothered to respond to- that's fine; just don't expect many women along the way. And again, what makes your principles so great? Are they really worth sacrificing a potentially blissful union? Are you that shallow? No one said you need to "completely" change who you are. But changes are definitely needed. Well said. It's naive to think otherwise. -- Houston Texans: 5-3 If you have to put it in one word, it's lackofexecution.-- Ravens H.C. on loss to Jags <cite>BoshStrikesBack posted [p:494753] in Why can...

Did I walk up to her and tell her the first time we spoke? No. Doesn't it though? Aren't you conciouslly not revealing that information for fear that once they hear it they will reject you? I'm sure if you had a good job that would come up, but if you had an embarassing one, it wouldn't. <cite>wg64Z posted [p:494754] in Why can...

wg64Z 11/02/11 12:51:00 PM #258:	Just think of courting women as a skill that you need to improve. That's not changing who you are as a person, at all. If I start to learn how to play guitar, am I completely changing who I am? You're just learning to be better at a skill or aspect at life you'd like to improve. Think of it this way, as a PC. You think we're asking you to rip out the motherboard and replace all the internal hardware. When really you just need some new software.

But this is exactly it: in every social situation, you reveal certain things about yourself and hide others, because you want to either form or continue a certain impression of yourself to certain people. Not doing it with women doesn't change the fact that you do it with everyone else, which is a big part of the reason why claiming it's "shallow" is so silly.

No; I got what I wanted out of it, namely sex.

You can sugarcoat it however you want, but unless you actually said to yourself, "I only need a girlfriend for X number of weeks/months/years, then I can dump her because she'll no longer be useful to me," then you are no more special than the rest of us who have experienced failed relationships. So what you're saying is people can never change their minds halfway through a relationship? What if I'm deeply in love with someone for a few years then suddenly I have a resounding "meh" feeling towards them. Did it fail then? No, we just grew apart.

But if you entered the relationship without the express forethought of when you were going to end it, then yes, the relationship failed. You can sugarcoat it however you want, but unless you actually said to yourself, "I only need a girlfriend for X number of weeks/months/years, then I can dump her because she'll no longer be useful to me," then you are no more special than the rest of us who have experienced failed relationships. Typically, I go into a relationship with an open mind. Some turn out to be hook-ups, some turn out to be long-term. You don't have to plan everything in advance, and yours is an attitude that women find very unattractive. Then you're still essentially saying your way is better than his way and he should adapt to your way because your way works and his doesn't. That's what I'm getting from every single post you've made in this topic anyway. "Works" is the word I'm avoiding, because clearly, his way "works" better if he wants to cling to his silly ideals. From experience, however, I'm arguing that my way is better for his own happiness, if employed at least a little. You are not very open-minded about other people's ways of thinking, it seems. I'm not a relativist, no; I maintain that there are better and worse ways of doing things, and that we can understand such choices through well-founded reasoning and argumentation. -- Houston Texans: 5-3 If you have to put it in one word, it's lackofexecution.-- Ravens H.C. on loss to Jags <cite>BoshStrikesBack posted [p:494788] in Why can...
