Mental (cont.):
5. Get some self help books. Download this torrent: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4846125/__Ultimate___Pick_Up_Artist_s_Book_Collection . The first book you should read is "Magic Bullets." It should be your new bible. After that skim through the "Love Systems Routine Manual" to learn some routines you can run on women when you're just starting out. The rest of the books you don't have to read all the way through, but they will be good references for you if you want to read some additional material. If you feel especially bold you can try and take the StyleLife 30 day challenge (included in the torrent I linked you to), though I don't recommend that until you've built yourself up a bit.
6. Stop making excuses. Admit that you're not living your life the way you want to be living it and take some fucking initiative. Get ready to put yourself out there and do thing you'd normally be uncomfortable with doing. Trust me, when you're done with all this, you'll feel amazing. I know I do.

Physical:
1. Take a shower every day. Not every other day. Not once a week. Every day.
2. Shave your fucking neck beard and make a habit of shaving once, or even twice a day.
3. Get your acne under control. If it's really bad, consider dermacare treatments. Order anti-acne pills off the internet or buy them from a store. Get an acne wash and use it every day. Personally, I order both my pills and my anti-acne kit from Nature's Cure.
4. Brush your teeth twice a day, and don't do it half assed. Make sure you get in there and scrub. Seriously consider getting whitening strips. Actually, forget considering it, you need whitening strips: get them.

Physical (cont.):
5. Get your white pasty ass in a tanning booth. Make sure you don't skimp out and buy a pass to the older beds, those will get you cancer, get a pass to some of the new generation tanning beds. Once again, don't worry about what your friends or family think, this is about what makes you happy. And to answer the inevitable question you will be asking yourself: yes, you will be naked in the tanning booth, that's how they're meant to be used. Don't wear a bathing suit for Christ's sake.
6. Get groomed. Pretty clear cut really. Get a haircut that looks good. Schedule it at someplace that's really nice, not a big chain like Mastercuts. Don't be afraid to use a little product in your hair from now on. Go get a pedicure and a manicure while you're at it. Women do notice these things.
7. Get good fashion. Don't go to /fa/ for help; they're a bunch of faggots. Go into a trendy store and get yourself some new gear. I prefer Macy's or Nordstrom Rack myself, but you'll have to choose a place that fits your own style. Don't try to dress yourself. Convince one of the store attendants to put together an outfit for you. Preferably the attendant should be an attractive woman who looks like she knows fashion, but if there are none work with whoever is there. If you're too embarrassed to just admit you're trying to put together an outfit that will make you look better; tell her you're going to a fashion show and you want to look your best.
8. Do something permanent to seal the deal. Thus far anything you've done can be undone, and that's bad for your psyche, since you'll believe that you can back out any time. Make sure the last thing you do is something permanent. Get a tattoo where it's visible for everyone else to see, or get a piercing. Let it be symbolic for you making a permanent change in your life. This is more of a mental thing then a physical thing. You have to be in this 100%

Jesus christ, some of this advice is so fucking retarded it hurts to read it and think some stupid faggot might follow it.

FAQ:

If I keep being myself, I'll eventually get the girl of my dreams.

Look man, even to get a low quality girl you have to be willing to put yourself out there a little bit. And seriously, how do you know who the girl of your dreams is if you haven't gone out there and dated a few of them? That's like saying you know your favorite type of music even though you've never listened to any music. It doesn't work like that. Secondly, this isn't about changing who you are, it's about removing the inhibitions you have that are preventing you from being who you want to be. There's nothing wrong with that.

What about my friends and family? What if they don't approve of me trying to change my life?

Your family will just have to accept you for who you are. If you have one of those really weird conservative families that will actually ostracise you if you act in a way they think is unnaceptable, you'll have to make a decision. Do you want these people controlling everything you do for the rest of your life? If your answer to that question is No, then it's time to start asserting yourself and letting your parents know that this is who you are. As for the friends, if they're the kind of close friends you can be direct with, just let them know up front that you're trying to improve yourself, mentally and physically. If they're not that close, then get get new freinds. Don't hang around people who will try to drag you down, find people who will lift you up.

Wont I stop getting good grades, stop achieving, and become a total douche?

No, unless you were a douche before. Once again this isn't about changing you, this is about removing your limiting beliefs and becoming the best person you can be. In fact, this will improve your performance in most aspects of your life, since you'll be more motivated to persue your goals with less fear of failure.

>5. Get your white pasty ass in a tanning booth.
So you are trying to turn everyone to guidos?
Get that shit out of here

FAQ (continued):

What if I don't have the money to afford all this stuff?

First of all, if you don't have a job, shame on you: start applying everywhere. I'm not going to write an entire guide on how to get a job but I will say this: don't be afraid to remind them that you're applying for a job. Call them at least once a week to remind them that you're enthuistiastic to be considered for the position. Secondly, time to start making some budget cuts. Soda? Drink water from now on. All that sugar is going to destroy your health anyways. Don't eat out. Make sure you cook all of your own meals, and don't get any of that canned food shit (unless it's like canned vegetable and fruit, that's ok, just don't get chef boyardee). If you don't watch TV, stop paying for cable. If you don't have a real use for high speed internet, downgrade to a modem. You're going to be spending more time out and about anyways remember? Just learn to cut around your budget in order to cater to your new life style. You're going to be happier, I promise.

This stuff is really scary and hard.

Know what's really scary and hard? Coming off of a crack addiction. Sign up to volunteer and help at a local rehab center. That will give you some perspective on what's scary and hard. Your dilemna is fucking tiny compared to the other problems in the world. So man up and start taking charge of it. Nothing in this world worth having comes easy.

8 is just terrible advice

you should only follow 5 and 7 if you're a bro who's interested in generic american girls. /fa/ actually does know their shit if you ignore the trolls, and dressing like a /fa/g will get you far more interesting and cuter girls.

>>4146592

or just dress like an ordinary guy, gosh
jeans and t-shirts are fine by me
i don't like emo boys or indie hipsters or whatever
and the girls they attract are not "interesting"

just shit

ITT: How to stop being yourself and become a pretentious douchebag.

Really mate, this advice sucks ass, you are trying to make everyone look like those typical club fags with their popped collars and orange skin.

My advice? Just try to make yourself a little better, stop doing all the stuff that you know is ruining yourself (You know exactly what I mean).

EVERYONE MUST LOOK THE SAME

The mental part had some value, maybe.

all that sounds hard id perfer to take the easy way but thanks

I don't have to have a tan to be confident. I'm white as hell but Christ that's how I was born. It's like a black man trying to get whiter. Tanning is only a quick fix. What OP fails to mention is that the most important thing is to increase your SELF-ESTEEM and CONFIDENCE, and you DO NOT have to spend money to do that (OP you fucking consumerist). Do some introspection: think long and hard about why you feel the things you feel, why you do the things you do. Try to think of different reasons, and don't go for the quick answer unless you have a few to compare it to. Meditate, spend some time alone thinking hard about your life and where you want it to go and what you have to do to get there.

>>4146614

Jeans and a T-shirt makes you look boring and projects insecurity. Ordinary is usually associated with insecurity because the woman will subconsciously assume you dress in such a way to avoid conflict. Which makes you a pansy in her eyes.

>>4146592

for 5, no girl is attracted to the idea of a guy who spends all day inside. Getting tan projects the fact that you get out often. It's a programmed attraction switch that exists in all woman. Fashion displays confidence since your willing to be outgoing and dress in a way that look attractive.

Think of it this way. Which girls do you fall hardest for in terms of physical attraction? The girls who only bathe? Or the girl who tans, puts on make up, dolls up her hair, and wears a dress that shows off her cleavage. Is it possible that there are other girls that see the dolled up girl and say "omg, what a slut, who does she think she's kidding?" Yes. Does it change the fact that she's way more attractive then those girls and gets more male attention? No.

I liked it up until the part where I realized I've done all this stuff independently and am still ronery.

You fail, OP. You fail like I fail.

bullshit advice.

>>4146690

You failed because you gave up. You have to be stronger than that bro.

>>4146688
Just accept that you are by far the worst tripfag on 4chan

>>4146688
>for 5, no girl is attracted to the idea of a guy who spends all day inside

I spend almost all my time inside doing projects and things. I don't go out to clubs and other shit often at all. I don't tan or make myself look like I'm a person who parties all the time.

I get laid often and have quite a few girls interested in me.

Your point is invalid.

>>4146715

You must have some other things going for you then. None the less, being tan is an attraction switch, and not being tan does hinder you with women, even if you still manage to get laid occasionally.

For srs, those douchebag cavemen that stayed inside the cave all day long couldn't get any tail at all

ITT how to pick up all the gay men you want.

Great advice OP. This is the perfect system, if you want a big guido cock up your ass.

how bout instead of a tanning bed you just go outside every now and then, you know, like in the sun.

>>4146739
The only thing I really have going for me is that I really, really like myself and am completely happy being myself.

I don't go out just because it might get me chicks, I don't talk about what I think women want to hear, and I don't pretend to be someone other than myself.

That's all you need, just be true to who you are inside and learn to have fun in your own way. Everything else falls in place when you learn to make who you are outside match who you are inside. And for me, that's being the kind of guy who stays home a lot and persues solitary persuits. I do socialize often, but I don't make excuses or apologies for the fact most of my time is spent inside doing what I want with my life, and women really dig that.

>>4146755

That works too if you live in a sunny area.

olol ITT OP thinks there is a magic switch to flip.

>>4146764
Well, not socialize often, not sure why I put that there. I think what I consider "often" you'd probably consider almost non-existent.

>>4146764
because of this

how many cocks have OP sucked?

>>4146744
This true. I am a gay guido and want to fuck OP.

I'd get a girl if i wasn't so busy with work all the time, I mean I'm a fucking catch, 18 with a good car and a good job.

I just don't have many places to meet people is all.

>>4146825
I know it's got it's issues, but since the only pier you are around is the company pier, why not try fishing off of it?

>>4146764

Well, since I'm a psychology major, and I hold the theory that all humans are creatures who desperately need and want attention. The idea that you willingly seperate yourself from society doesn't sit well with me. I think you're making excuses, and you're not really being "true to yourself" as you say you are.

And seriously, how can you ever meet high value women if you never get outside? It just doesn't work that way.

Actually, this looks good to me (I just noticed that I had 8 Gb of porn before I deleted it, and never even used it anyway so that was well done), except for two things: 1. Self-help books, imho, are not going to help you, or at least not the kind of self-help book you recommended. 2. I think that you're right to not recommend going to /fa/ if you've never done anything with fashion before, you're just gonna get trolled. However, just going to a big chain department store and asking an attendant to help you is just an invitation for said attendant to dress you up like a mannequin and gobble up the commission. Try www.wellcultured.com first, you're pretty much exactly their target demographic. Also, remember that fashion is a language; you want people to perceive you as you really are. Not a big fan of the tanning booth either, but I'd chalk that up to personal taste. Surprisingly enough, I'm all for #8, although I'd personally go for a piercing over a tattoo. That's exactly what that sort of thing is for: making a meaningful, well thought out statement about your life, commemorating an important person or event, things like that. Go forth and do likewise, more or less!

>>4146839
I know myself better than you ever can. Your point is invalid.

>>4146836
Haha, good one, but seriously, theres no sea for miles.

It seems every girl i meet is just immature and stupid, oh wait.

>>4146839
Goddammit, you are a fucking faggot. I didn't say I never went outside, I just don't do it often. I talk to women on the phone, or on the net, I get to know them at my pace and the way I want to approach them.

I approach them when I'm shopping, or going to rent a movie, or at stores when I'm buying supplies.

I've also met quite a few of my girlfriends through work, and they were some of the best relationships I had.

Some aren't takers, but that doesn't mean all aren't. I have found some great partners without even realizing it.

I don't have to do your stupid shit to get women.

I like having low self-esteem. Fuck off.

>go to a doctor and ask him/her to prescribe you anti-depressants.

been taking them for 3 years. I am also seeing a shrink every week. I'm still a bipolar, suicidal, lonely faggot.

>who liked the whole idea of getting a tan
no. just no...

>Get some self help books.
PUA books /= to getting girls
I read all of them, tried most of the openers, routines, time constraint, negs bullshits and non of them work.

>Take a shower every day....
I shower once even twice a day, brush my teeth every after meal, use a lot of facial products...

>Get good fashion
I work in the industry

>>4146492
>First step is acknowledging that you have a problem.
good job from quoting that from style, Master PUA

OP, I acknowledge all the typing that you have done here but I believe that you read too much Pick-up artist stuff.

tl;dr
I am.

>>4146915

Man, if you've been taking anti-depressants for 3 years without improvement, maybe it's time to ask for some more serious treatment. Also, consider volunteer work, it will increase your sense of self worth and make you feel way better about yourself.

>>4146915
>I read all of them, tried most of the openers, routines, time constraint, negs bullshits and non of them work.

That's because they are merely vehicles to help you get your personality across. They alone can not get you laid if you don't have the attitude to go along with it. If you're relying on the techniques, you're doin it wrong.

You wouldn't believe the corny shit I've used that's worked.

This is bullshit. It's only skin-deep.

Consider why you (roneryfag) are unhappy. There is a cause for it, yes? I'm not talking about the sequence of events in the past that lead to your loneliness and, thus, unhappiness. I'm talking about the thoughts and feelings you experience that result in other thoughts and feelings that are, essentially, your loneliness. Don't think that loneliness is a state of being that cannot be escaped through any other means but changing your state of being, meaning, getting friends, a girlfriend etc. There is no law of nature stating that the situation that you are in must cause unhappiness.

Whether your situation is an unhappy one or not doesn't depend on the situation itself but only on what you THINK of the situation. For every situation there exists a mental attitude that will make you feel happy. Kind of like the saying "look on the bright side of life" but more like "make the place you are be on the bright side". I'm telling you, it's possible and most importantly, it's a certain method.

This superficial tricks won't guarantee anything because life can still kick you in the balls no matter what you do to keep yourself where you are capable of being happy. The best thing to do would be to become able to be happy anywhere.

>>4146979

It's easier to be happy if you do things that are socially rewarding. You brain is programmed to be happy whenever you do something that increases your chances of reproduction. So getting out there and socializing and having tons of sex is pretty much guaranteed to make you happy.

some of it is good, most of it is shit...

protip:
However you get your confidence, get it.

>>4147002
Okay, you just completely threw out any credibility you had with me.

Alright Jon So you've just tried to help out a board that have lots of problems with this kind of stuff, and i guess you think that you know all about how its done because you've had this experience through this method. Therefore you want to be the know it all etc. Truth is, most of it is b ullshit that only affects people depending on the person, its Subjective.

You need to be much more general when giving points, and not be a faggot, but i can see you're genuinly trying to help the brobots out so Good effort. Also, don't hate on /fa/ =.= best board around.

OP, what if I'm ugly and have no personality? What then?
And I do mean it. I've tried to improve my looks by losing weight, getting muscle and getting a haircut - shit actually got worse, people tell me I used to look "cuter" when I was fat. I buy new clothes, but reactions are always negative - nothing seems to look good on me.
And on personality - I have no passion. I used to love vidya, I used to love my studies, I used to love anime and would do crazy stuff for most of it. Now I've just lost motivation. I keep looking for something to do - I tried writing, I tried drawing, but since I'm not really doing it out of some kind of wish to do it, but because I'm looking for something to do, everything comes out half-assed and again, nobody is interested. I can't even hold a fucking conversation - I only get short replies, though most of the time I can't even think of something to say, and if I'm conversing with more than 1 person, they always just kind of ignore me, brush me off and I end up on the side.

>>4146940
I don't know dude, my shrink told me that I will improve over time. It just needs time.

>>4146943
>They alone can not get you laid if you don't have the attitude to go along with it...
I want a girl not just to get laid. I want someone that will comfort and love me. Who will be there by my side... It's just that I also don't have any friends at all... I don't consider the folks I hang out with as friends. They were never really their for me like when I am crying , when I am alone you know shit like that bro.
I remember I tried that "do you those two women fighting outside" opener then the girl told me to fuck off. I almost cried on my way to the taxi... It just don't work bro, not in my location (not in the US).

>>4147043

Well it's a combination of several things actually. I have had success using these methods, and I've seen plenty of other people have success from them as well. But I'm also a psyche major in college, and all of these attraction switches can be explained on an academic level as well. Even though these may seem to be things that would only work for certain people, they're really general methods that anyone can apply to themselves.

And seriously, I'm here to help. I'm not a troll as some people have been trying to imply. Feel free to ask me anything.
