    Super Xmas gifts for GF family?

    in supertrash

    Posted

    I am going to run through things that I've bought gf's parents in the past:

    1.) Board games - brings family together, helps cement you as a non-scumbag

    2.) http://www.tasteofcheese.ca/store/product/THE%20MYSTERY%20CHEESE%20BOX-335/ + a nice bottle of wine shows you're not a classless chump (you can do one red and one white. i endorse white Chateauneuf de Pape and Cote Roti for your red if you can find them)

    3.) planning christmas is a huge chore. Offer to cook lunch for the family if you're having dinner with them later. You can leave a material item like a service platter or a set of wine glasses (and as perviously mentioned, a bottle of wine to fill these with will always be appreciated).

    4.) something charitable. i don't know many people who are averse to getting a card from someone saying you've donated $150 to feed a small child in africa for a year (though I'd tend to avoid religious associations where possible, for PC reasons)

    thanks guys. i've been talking some pretty stupid shit on here lately so i hope that didn't ring totally hollow.

    @Mass: definitely goes both ways, if a girl can't hold a conversation it's never really going to be there.

    @boybetterknow: sure, but all i've been doing lately is selling myself. the underlying problem: not much to sell right now.

    Djrajio Dating Thread/Advice Column

    Posted · Edited by broneck

    Introspective rant/general advice directed at anyone wondering why they can't get their shit together:

    A while ago I posted a lamentation about how I don't seem to sleep with anyone I give a shit about anymore. Since becoming single I've probably slept with more girls in a 4 month time-period than I have in the past 5 years or so. Some of these girls were really gorgeous and incredible people...others decidedly less so (let's be frank, this sometimes comes with the territory of wasted 4 AM hook ups). In any event, I've noticed a pattern emerging: ultimately, I don't maintain much positive contact with the ones I find myself interested in beyond the confines of drunken booty-calls.

    Having not really been single for a very long time, I've had no problem figuring out how to get back in the swing of getting laid, but I'm really having trouble maintaining anything beyond that - even just seeing a girl on a casual basis.

    I've recently started living with a new crew of people, one of whom is the lead singer of a fairly successful band. Over the past few months I've watched this guy turn down more 10s than I care to remember. This makes sense - he's a frontman, and sings really catchy emotionally charged songs that make women fall in love with him while he's on stage. But after all's said and done, once he's off stage he's just a normal guy like any other. So I found myself asking "what the fuck?!"

    But at the same time, he's not really a normal guy. He doesn't just listen to music, he absorbs and carefully considers music. When he's not actively writing music, he's exploring new instruments and ways to make old ones sound new. He refinishes old and unlvoed guitars and makes them beautiful again. He consumes culture voraciously, be it literature, art, photography or film. He delves into the history of his interests. And in being thoughtful, well read, cultured and storied, he becomes impressive to listen to off-stage as well as on.

    It made me realize that I'm probably apearing less and less impressive to the opposite sex than I've ever been before because I actually am a much less impressive human being than i've ever been before. When I was in school, my focus was almost entirely on bettering myself as a person: learning, stretching my brain, putting a pen to paper or standing on a stage and actually having a forum for ideas that I could at least partly call my own. Regardless of whether or not this is as impressive as being a singer and songwriter, it nonetheless was something I could be proud of. I was good at debating, good at undermining people's logic, good at making points and delivering them in a unique way. I was happy with myself and my contribution to the general betterment of my school and peers, and I can't help but think that a large part of the confidence i had with girls was due to the fact that i could look at myself and be fairly impressed with what looked back.

    fast forward 3 years, and i'm out of school and properly single for the first time in ages. over the past few weeks, i've tried to figure out why the ability to carry on a relationship with a girl i'm crazy about has fallen off so fucking drastically. i've finally concluded that it's because i haven't done anything to really make myself better as a person since i've gotten out of school. i've maintained some things (for example, I haven't allowed myself to rapidly expand to the typical fat-guy desk jockey i definitely could have), but i certainly haven't improved much. in school i was passionate about what i learned, what i believed in, and that passion stayed with me everywhere. now, i work a job i hate from monday to friday, drink my weekend away, and start all over again. any passion i had has been strangled by apathy, and at the end of the day i have less and less ability to converse with intelligent women not because i'm any less intelligent, but because i literally have nothing new to say.

    if i see a boring turd when i look at myself, what the fuck must the women i'm interested in see?

    which brings us to advice that hopefully i will take myself. if you find yourself in a spot like i am - frustrated with your inability to maintain anything worth maintaining - fuck all the shit we talk on here about playing games, about waiting to text, about how to make sure you keep an upper hand. be a better person. pick up a new book. learn a new instrument. discover a piece of art you didn't know , fall in love with it, and learn everything you can about the artist. teach yourself to sew, or ski, or anything you didn't know how to do before. keep learning new things, constantly. take a risk you wouldn't have taken last year. do something you're passionate about. good things will happen.

    ps. this is officially my gayest post ever.

    Learning new languages.

    in superculture

    Posted

    So I'm really bored and want to learn French. Anyone have any experience learning a new language later in life (i.e. past 18)?

    I have a rudimentary knowledge of the language as I was taught a lot of the basics from a young age, but I'd like to get to a level of conversational fluency.

    Any programs to investigate? Any to avoid? Is Rosetta Stone a complete crock of shit?

    I defer to experts here. If you just want to tutor me for free, I'll take that too.

    Incredibly enough, my room mate did. In the midst of me kicking the asian chick out she met him and they started chatting and she wound up with him. When I woke up in the morning and realized what had happened I couldn't have been more happy that I kept Li'l Clopek far away from what she was sellin'.

    this thread is still soft as fuck. confession: Last weekend I got really drunk at a dance party down the street from my house. I got a few girls' numbers but I was really smashed by the end of the night and nothing came to fruition. As I was walking home I ran into an old fling who decided she wanted to come home with me. Being in the state that I was in, I agreed. When we got home she immediately ran up to my bedroom, while I went to get another drink. In the interim, my room mate showed up with a huge crew of people including several very attractive girls. I hung out downstairs for a while and things were going well with a particular girl, so I felt I needed to extricate myself from the situation I'd created. I went upstairs to find the fling passed out on my bed. I woke her up and told her she had to go because I had to work in the morning. I put her in a taxi that cost her at least $70.

    haven't heard a word from her since.

    i've never felt more like a fucking 8 year old boy than when we're talking about our work christmas parties. 2 girls suggested paintball as something to do, which i'm totally up for. and fucking 5 other chicks come out of the woodwork to whine and complain like "OMG WE'LL TOTALLY HAVE LIKE BRUISES ALL OVER US"

    what the fuck bitches, are you for real?

    i haven't been sleeping well lately, and i don't wanna drink myself to sleep every night, so i've been self medicating with weed. it's fucking me up though, because between juggling two work schedules and falling asleep high as shit, i've been waking up in weird panics where i literally do not remember what day it is, and which job i'm supposed to be going to when my alarm goes off. today it went off and i almost rolled back over to just fall asleep thinking it was saturday.

    it is not saturday.
