The Student Room Group

eek! A thread about girls!

Hi all. I'm basking in the freedom of posting as an anonymous person:smile: You gotta love the little ticked box!

Anyway, in my new-found nameless and unidentified persona, I'd like to ask a few questions.

My time at university is nearly up, I have about 6 weeks left, and feel like I've missed out. Should I?

Was it really a massive sex-fest for people here? Quite a few of my mates get laid every other night of the week, yet I never have had a sex life like that at uni. I've had one major relationship, which lasted 4 years and was great, but long distance doesn't work. A couple of minor relationships but nothing to talk about.

So, where am I to find a nice girl to ask out for a drink sometime and get to know? I live in Watford, (after a while someone will figure out who I am!) and to say the least, the girls I meet here are not my type. Ever.

Where would you meet an educated girl who takes care of herself? I'm not after the latest ubermodel so much as someone easygoing who I can talk to on an equal level. Most girls in Watford are not that interested in theories on love, life and travel! I like a girl with an opinion, well read and generally taking part in life, not just struggling through it. Seriously, it's doing my head in. It seems like it really is too much to ask for a girl that likes to laugh, has a brain and isn't obnoxious.

Secondly, I ask the ladies of TSR to hose some male theories down for me!:biggrin:
How do you want to be treated by a potential? There's all sorts of rumours, theories and half baked ideas on the matter. Play hard to get, be honest. I'd like to be myself, but that doesn't seem to be working either.

I'm starting to give up on the whole relationship thing. I've been single for just over a year. Quite frankly, I'm ready for someone new. I'm 6 foot tall, broad shouldered. 16 stone in weight, not fat. 86% of that weight is muscle and bones! I just don't seem to pull it off. Motorcycles are my life, so a girl who can handle speed would be good:smile:

So, gimme a chat TSR. Discuss, criticisem, analyse and help me to help myself, it is what I do best:biggrin:


Cheers,

He who has no name:biggrin:

Don't worry about the sex life thing... as long as you enjoyed at least some of uni it's all good. Getting laid is not the be all and end all of uni... the point was to get a qualification... for sex move abroad.. or just find someone special. As to where? join a few societies with your interests n just flirt with a few girls... Not eveyrone you date has to be 'the one'. Its a numbers game..


As to the second thing: don't ask women for advice about women. Ever. They don't know what they want either.. you'll get a host of replies saying a sweet senstive mr nice guy type... and really they want the guy who will treat them like crap... why? Because he's confident, a challenge, charismatic and most of all dominant. The perfect example of an alpha male.

I would have pointed you towards checking out the motorcycle engineering course my uni does, we have quite a few intelligent biker chicks here, but since you're almost through with uni I'm sure thats the last place you'd want to think about! :rolleyes:

Exactly! That's what makes the whole thing so damned hard in the first place! Two total opposites. As I voted on the chivalry thread however, I still believ in it and can't treat girls badly. They're too small and cute! Although a girl will be along in a second to tell us we've got it all wrong.

I'm not a dominant kind of guy though. I don't like to be, I see no need.

My problem is that I don't have much exposure to the fairer of the species:smile: My engineering course is 100% male. I like motorcycles, and how many bikers are my sort of age and female?
I could go on, but too much detail will give away who I am, and I don't fancy doing that!

Dominance doesnt have to mean ******* if we're being honest here. Women subconciously want a man to take control: they enjoy being submissive... yet if you ask them if they want to be in control? 10 gets you 1 says they'll say yes.


And mamba... in my honest estimation? Yeah sorry.. but thats just my thoughts.

Mind you, who said guys were great either?:biggrin:

kcl students union is full of beautiful women. some are easy, some are not. don't be too nice, girls don't like it. be assertive and if she rebuffs you, smile and walk away, she wasn't worth it anyway.

The thing is though, how on earth are you supposed to come across as that in a conversation at a bar?

You have how long to make an impression whilst not coming on as some sort of macho weirdo? It's something I find really hard, especially approaching women.

It's funny really. I've crashed bikes at 50 mph and flown over the handlebars, been crippled for 6 weeks, stopped a bloke from breaking into my house. But the thing I find hardest is approaching girls. I've tried, and screw up more often than not:biggrin:

I'm not whinging. I can easily accept that people are good at different things, and I'm grateful for what I have. What I want are some new ideas and places to try. Situations and tips really!

Only because you're talking about girls, not women.

Didn't know you already study engineering. Haha I'm your age female and ride a bike, but I'm taken. :cool: Honestly? I haven't ever seen another female biker on the road for agesssss, and rarely are they our age anyway. I'm trying my best to convert any girls I meet to bikes (it sorts the fun people from the mediocre ones) but theres only so much I can do, and no can be bothered to go through with the whole training process. Darnit!

i find that i like a guy when i meet him, in a bar or whatever, then its usually a few conversations later that i realise he's far too nice for me. just be funny but not stupid and witty but not smart. and unless you're good at dancing, don't bother.

Sssh you'll confuse them. :p:

Why do you have to act in a specific way to pull anyway? Why is everything so forced, whats wrong with just chilling out, dating people through gaining new friendships rather than hoping a complete stranger will like you after a quick conversation?

Quite a few of my mates get laid every other night of the week, yet I never have had a sex life like that at uni.


Why not? And iIs that what you're after? :confused:

I did consider it! But I've had enough of education.

tbh, some of the guy's i've met who did extra degrees just seemed like they were delaying cos they didn't know what they wanted to do. unless you have ambition, its not so attractive..

I did consider it. But I did mean it when I said I don't meet girls casually socially. It's just the way it is at the moment. Until I get a small job whilst preparing for my career this summer, it will remain that way.

So it's either take a chance on a few cute strangers, or bugger all! At least it will be god practise on the strangers! LOL!
