You guys act as if you're totally oblivious about why boys tease girls on the playground... Damn.


The thing with assessing is that we keep track a lot more of our successful guesses than our unsuccessful ones

A few programs, tutored kids, taught people how to swim

I think we try to deceive ourselves. We often invent reasons why women do like us, when in reality they don't. Let's say you ask a girl out and she says she can't make it. Unless she makes a new offer or proposes a new date herself, I'd say it's probably best to cut your losses. But most men seem to think she gave a valid excuse, so she might still be interested. Then they ask again and again.

Not at all. I just said it's easy to know whether or not someone might ever be interested in you.

I never understood an alcohol addiction. You have to consume such vast amounts of alcohol to get physically addicted.. I try to go a few weeks/months without alcohol at all every so often though. Just to be on the safe side :D.
Look the post below.

it's psychological, i have a friend who drinks 2-3 beers no more every day religiously, he just has to have his 2 beers
This...2-3 beers and it's OK. No beer at all = day is ruined.

what if shes playing hard to get? the bigger assumption is that a girl's fancy is something constant, which it is not, trying to understand human behavior is a guess work at best especially women's

She's a local girl. Phycologist at a local high school, teaches night classes at the uni. We get along great, she's prettier than I am.

Once you get to a couple months it really isn't all that hard to not miss drinking.

I've done 2 years without a drink before while training hard for competition climbing in my mid-20s, I never even really thought about booze after the first couple months. Didn't miss it at all. The trick is to keep yourself busy doing other things. A lot of drinking happens out of boredom in my opinion.
Depends on why you drink. If it's self-medication, that's one thing. If it's because you enjoy the sensory experience, that's a little different.

Not really. She told me she about a couple weeks ago that when we met in May she thought I was an asshole and didn't want anything to do with me.
And now she shows you hers. :oops:

But now you're fucking. Big surprise. Girl likes dude she thinks is an asshole.
First time evah. :D

if he cant do more work for himself, help others, social work is a great way to help yourself
:agree:

Weightlifting/exercising/sport are some of the best replacements for drugs/alcohol. They eat up time, they make you feel good, they make you look good... They do pretty much everything.

And like you say, social work is another great form of self-help. :tup: One of the things that made me realize just how bad it can get when I was 19-20 was volunteering at a community centre kitchen on the downtown eastside in Vancouver. You see a lot of really messed up people and hear a lot of stories about people who started in the same places a lot of us do.

I mean, none of this is going to help with full-blown alcoholism/drug addiction, but our Bolivian friend seems to be suggesting something a little lesser on the scale, so filling his time with other things that make you feel good should help him.
