Well, it's to give you the general idea. Yes, my tone probably isn't likely to be found with many 20-something. Although my son knows how to compose a polite message of this sort... Point is, if you want to attract quality you have to *be* quality, LR.
Practice. Just like any skill. Besides, being able to compose polite messages is useful in your professional life.

Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.

Professionally, no problem. To girls? MUCH problem. Too much problem.
Today has furthered my notion about never getting excited about anything involving a girl; every time, it turns out extremely poorly. My bet is, if I were more attractive, she would have been there for SURE.Because we have to chase him. Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

Why is it different? Polite discourse is always polite. As for your attractiveness, well, if what you say is true she is shallow. So what have you lost, again?

Polite for business' sake is way easier. Polite doesn't attract girls; that's boring and prudish.
What have I lost? My last chance. I'd say that's quite a lot.Because we have to chase him. Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

lol. I'll have to remember to tell my partner this. Maybe I'm not a girl, just a boring old chick. What do you think?

I was married, no longer. I suppose I'm approaching a similar status again, but my partner happened in a way not too different from my example. In fact, my partner is much more polite and fun than my ex ever was. My ex was also very vanilla.
You think you can't be exciting and respectful at the same time? LOL, you have much to learn, grasshopper.Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.

Look, I don't mean to get into age stereotypes but 18-25 range has no room for vanilla politeness. That doesn't attract the opposite gender whatsoever.

Okay. Good luck with your strategy. Seems to be working for you... but perhaps you are right. Your issue is a volume one, not your approach. Hard to know, though, since you won't do the damned experiment..

Explain why all the good looking girls go for utter tools...

Too lazy to want to get to know someone more than superficially? This is why you need to stand out and make them step up their game. Insist on being treated politely and with respect with your own behaviour. Can't say it more plainly, LR.

Please stop making it so easy for me.Never regret anything that has happened in your life. It cannot be changed, forgotten or undone. So, take it as a lesson learned and move on.

Not quite 18-25, but I work with a LOAD of 22-27yos. They are all polite. And they are all in RELATIONSHIPS and have lots of FRIENDS. Originally Posted by Love'sReject
