I need help I just cant seem to get a girlfreind is it beacuase I hunt or am a country boy tell me what you think and please no *** comments.

RE: women
 

Chances are it's the things you say and the way you act that turn girls off. I don't know you, haven't talked to you, haven't been around you, but 9 times out of 10 your personality is what they really pay attention to. It constantly amazes me how many guys worry about the way they look more than how they present themselves to people in general. If people had a little more confidence in their personalities they would have a lot less trouble approaching and dating women (or girls as the case may be).

I doubt the fact that you're a 'country boy' or the fact that you hunt turn girls off. I was raised in the country and have hunted and fished since before I can remember. I generally have no trouble with girls.

That being the case, back to the issue of personality... A few questions to start off with;

Are you cocky?
Do you come off as self-centered?
Do you talk about yourself a lot?
How do you appraoch the girls you like?
Are you shy?
Do you talk a lot or are you more of a listener?
Are you funny?
Are you witty or are you more of the class-clown type?
Do you flirt a lot?
If so, do you flirt with many different girls or just specific ones?
When you compliment a girl, are the compliments sincere or do they come off feeling like lines from a movie?
Do you try to be cool by using pick-up lines?
If so, do you say them jokingly or sincerely?

I could go on, but until you fill us in a bit more I can't help. I won't call myself an expert, far from it. But when it comes to girls I do know a thing or two... ;)

Let us know a bit more and I may be able to help you out a bit.

I think Dan said it best :D

Plus you have plently of time to meet someone believe me. Just worry about things you have to do for yourself first :)

RE: women
 

yeah they all have a valid point. most of the time the reasons above will be the deciding factors. but i have met girls that wouldn't go out since i hunted and they didn't like that, but that's there opinion and you have to respect that.

RE: women
 

I'm shy sometimes flirt definitely not self centered or a class clow just an average joe that likes to hunt and stuff.

RE: women
 

i agree with the last few posts.

btw- do u usually stand on your head in all your pics :D

RE: women
 

well... I may not be an expert..... I tend not to ever have a girlfriend because I really don't want to spend the money or take teh time just to go from girl to girl. But heres my advice. Quit focusing on finding a girlfriend and work on just being a good friend. If you have to go out looking for a girl to go out with you're doing it all wrong..that only works on tv and for vacation flings.... try to be a friend to teh girls you already know and the ones you meet....and the girlfriend thing will come on its own.

RE: women
 

thats a valid point...a recent study concluded that most women agree that men are at their best when they are rightside up!

RE: women
 

Not exactly a good idea. Sure, if you want girl friends, this is the way to go. Go shopping, hang out, whatever... But that's all you're ever going to be. Generally, once you cross over to being 'just friends' that's all it's ever going to amount to because neither of you will want to hurt the other.

If you have to go out looking for a girl to go out with you're doing it all wrong? What? How exactly does that work? Why do you think everyone always talks about the 'bar scene' and going to clubs? Why do people do that? To meet new people.

In my experience the best way to get a girlfriend is to meet as many girls as you can, pursue the ones you like, and befriend the ones you think would be better off as 'just friends.'

Half the fun of getting a girlfriend is playing the field. Meeting new girls, flirting with differen't girls, and learning the do's and dont's of dating. Just because you take a girl to the movies doesn't mean you're together. Think of every date you go on as a learning experience and use what you learn the next time around. The more you date the more your chances of getting a steady girlfriend improve. How are you ever going to find 'the one' without playing the field a bit? If you just pursue the girls you're friends with you're going to miss out on a lot of fun oportunities.

RE: women
 

Well...okay...if you want to go thru 100 girls the bar scene and meeting "as many as possible" is the way to go. But I think its a little silly to ask people out that you barely even know. And maybe I'm unique...but most of the girls I have been friends with eventually liked me as more than a friend....that didn't always work out too well but thats another story.

RE: women
 

Which makes you a little deceptive in a way. You're being friends with these girls for the sole purpose of eventually becomming 'more than friends.' You obviously don't care whether or not things work out in the end, because if they were good friends you wouldn't want her to get hurt if something happened and the relationship ended.

It doesn't cost money to meet new girls. Our local mall is filled with prospective dates on the weekends. A dollar each way on the bus can get you at least one new phone number and a possible girlfriend each day. You don't have to spend money to meet girls. Dates can cost as little as $20.00 or as much as $100.00 depending on who you're taking out. But don't ever think you have to spend money to meet girls, because you don't.

Grocerey shopping with mom? See a cute girl bagging groceries or shopping with her mom? Bump into her, start a conversation, get her number, take her out.

You will be told no. Don't get me wrong. Things won't always work out, you won't always get her number. But you can't just wait for the girls to come to you.

Confidence is key. You can't be scared or intimidated by the situation, approach the girls you would like to meet. Chances are they won't approach you.

RE: women
 

Well...I never have started a friendship with the idea of it ever being more than that...so no deception at all...in fact I go out of my way to make sure that kind of thing doesn't ruin the friendship.... I'm not saying I go out with friends...just that if I wanted to get a girlfriend right now I would look for someone I already knew so I had an idea what she was all about.
To be fair to you..I haven't ever really tried to do it the way you recommend...I never really needed to...it probably works just as well as you say...I just prefer to not go into things with no clue what kind of girl she is...but if you are going into the whole thing more for fun than anything, I would agree that meeting lots of people and treating it as a game to be learned is the best way.
But I will agree with you...confidence is everything. Not just in dating, but in everything from bull riding to hunting. People will always be attracted to someone who is confident in themselves and feels good to be around.

RE: women
 

I guess that's just where we differ then.

I'm too young to take relationships too seriously right now. I've tried the long term, serious deal and got hurt. So for now my dating is short term and infrequent.

RE: women
 

to tell you the truth, I am at the same point..too young (18) to take it seriously. But like I said, I don't want to go out dating people I don't know, but I would feel horrible just casually dating one of my good friends and messing up the friendship...so I just don't dat eright now..fun life huh? lol

RE: women
 

I had the same problem. Everytime it would end about 3 months into it so I gave up at 15yr old :D

I tell ya what though....I have a ton more $ to buy deer huntin stuff with :D

RE: women
 

Dude you dont want a girlfriend for a long time! Too much work!;)

RE: women
 

Yeah, they are trouble. :D Being single is more fun because you dont get in trouble as much :D

RE: women
 

Just date around, it is more fun for you and for them. No one cares if you look at another girl or not. Date around, take risks, and love every minute of it!

RE: women
 

sooooo many comments... sooo little time;)

RE: women
 

*putting hand on face and shaking head* lol

RE: women
 

What, no popcorn and foam finger this time, RH?

RE: women
 

I'm just waiting for an agrument, then i will :D

RE: women
 

i got the same problem

RE: women
 

;)women are fragile delicate creatures that need very little respect. they will bend to your whims and woes and try to please you in any way they can. the best way to win one over is to pick one up in your car on a street corner on friday. these usually prove to be the best ones. no flowers are necessary. flowers are an invention of the greeting card industry. an EVIL invention. you only need to tell her she's beautiful long enough so that you don't have to pay her to be with you anymore. once thats over, you may tell her how ugly she really is. don't worry about asking for permission to go out with the guys, just go. she thinks its funny. if when you get home she says she's angry at you for going out, play along. be angry too.


if you take my advice you're an idiot:D

RE: women
 

thanks alot 89 lmao

RE: women
 

How old are you...then I'll tell you whether or not to start worrying about girls. If I could tell people when or how to do it. I would. But...I sure as heck wouldn't lose any sleep over not having a woman. Doesn't really matter up until college anyways (cause the you can get married to the girls).

RE: women
 

Well for one you cant get a picture turned the right way. Girls will come around but at the same time dont wait for them to come to you. You look a little young to be worried too much about it anyway.

RE: women
 

Ha, perfect. Here you go Red Hawk!

RE: women
 

As the song goes: If your havin girl problems I feel bad for ya son, I got 99 problems and a [girl] aint one. :D

Try tickling the ear lobes. [:-]

RE: women
 

My advice - dont worry about it until you get to be my age - I'm gonna be 23 in October - no girlfriend after 4 years of college - thats why I'm goin back for my 5th! :D - seriously - from the experience I have had/have seen others have - relationships when you are young(er) don't usually amount to anything much - some will end in marriage - but not many - if the right opportunity comes along - take it - but dont go out just looking for a girlfriend - that usually doesnt work. - My $.02 - take it for what its worth

RE: women
 

maybe you were just meant to be *** ?[8D] im sorry that was mean but funny i couldnt help myself lol. but anyway try and really get to know a girl beofre u actually "try" for her. but dont chage jus because that want u to. jus be urself

RE: women
 

Just a comment on the whole friends issue. It's always been my opinion that you can always try dating someone that you have had a friendship with, and if it doesn't work out, you can revert back to being friends (basically because you already know you can be friends with them). This is something that you can rarely do with someone you meet, and immediate start dating because you had no other feelings for them beforehand besides that first interest of dating. From my own personal experience and from all of my friends that have tried, it's a proven theory. It might be a little awkward for a little while, but everyone get's over it.

Another argument in favor of having a number of friends of the opposite sex... the most obvious. Those girls know plenty of other girls. Anyway, I don't know how old you are, but my advice is don't take it too seriously. Relationships are great learning experiences... about yourself and others.

RE: women
 

tee hee, i sort of have your problem, i can't get any girls to be good friends with me because, well one i cannot stand girlie girls, so they r the first ones to go, and 2 all the chics at my school hate, and i mean HATE hunting, so therefore they don't approve of me, lol, and the guys at my school r all city boys and only like video games.
