I'm hungry.... Do i eat a sausage sandwich or summat a bit healthier... Like an apple?
Posted by methylated_spirit
Ideally you should be eating healthily, but a sausage sandwich tastes better and will fill you up more. I intend to have a king rib supper in about half an hour, but i am really hungry. Toss a coin, or if your really hungry, have both!

hey, meths/kim/guys....
i'm back with another problem. and this one is kinda serious. its not about me, but a friend's predicament that i'm asking advise for.. okay here goes.
so, my friend JK is a successful accountant, making pots of money. but, the thing is he's pretty lonely, and isn't very good with the women. the thing is he is interested in women, but he always has expectations that are pretty high. he has a vision of this 'perfect' girl and kind of judges every girl he meets according to that yardstick.
i've tried telling him that its not the right way to go about it. also, he isn't very good at socializing. (maybe the bootcamp would've done him some good
).
he hardly has any friends, and basically is a recluse. he's always believed that once he's professionally well settled, the personal life would sort itself out. but, even though he's pretty much settled, the love life isn't as well bloomed.
so, the thing i want to know is, how do i advise him on making new friends (of both sexes), and how do i convince him that the perfect girl probably doesn't exist. (he's adamant on finding the perfect one)
thanks!!
Posted by vanquish
well, personally, i think he wont find the perfect girl, but he will find the soulmate, which does exist, i am sure of it!
YOU need to invite him round, watch a film and drink a few beers. if you make an effort, then he will really appreciate it and not feel so down in the dumps about life and what ppl think of him.
and then he will be a bit more confident. also, he should join tai-kwon-do, it really does boost ur self confidence and make you feel proud of yourself!
and lastly, you should advise him to love himself. there is a famous saying, that you cannot love others if you do not love yourself. encourage him to go out, get a nice suit, make himself look good, and he will feel more self esteem to make the first step with others and say, hey, come round to mine bitch for a hard night in bed
Posted by plasmadog
tai kwon do is a good idea!
he does need a lot of positive image building.
thanks vanquish!!!
Posted by vanquish
thanks
btw: i didnt mean to say that you had to do everything, but if u are a good friend then it would help
BEAT YA TO IT METHS!

Well spending time at the strip joint always seems to help, especially if he is rolling in some serious cash. The girls there a near perfect (well at least the strip joints I go to) and I always willing to please...hey I even dated a few of them.
Remember boys and girls strippers are not sleazy they just hot sexy girls doing a damn good job of what they call a job....
I dont know if you all have strip joints in India but there are some seriously hot Indian babes around that I am sure you can persuade to do a little strip for your mate.
Posted by kimcheeboi
that's what i call advice!
Posted by methylated_spirit
Actually, you could combine both vanquish's and themarques' suggestions. Why not organise a boys night out, get a few beers, go to a club (not necessarily a strip club), and make sure your buddy has a good time, and gets to know the people your out with better. You need to help him get relaxed into talking with people first, dont throw him into the deep end. If he gets comfortable chatting and making friends with peope of similar background and circumstance, he will soon find it easier to talk to a more diverse range of people, including the mystifying, tantalizing holy grail, the laydeez.

Meths speaks from experience (occasionally if has relapses) so listen up!
Posted by vanquish
yeah, meths finds it hard getting girls and mates
GET IN KIM!
Posted by plasmadog
thanks guys! i'll probably take him out this weekend. and hopefully he'll loosen up a bit.
Posted by blackspot
your friend probably need a major dose of reality to make him understand the real concept of ladies and relationships.
Posted by plasmadog
@blackspot.. that is indeed true.
the thing with most indian guys is that they accept women and marriage as a thing taken for granted. most marriages are arranged, and the guy knows that if he's professionally and financially well off, he can get a very hot wife.
so, the emotional bonding between him and his wife does take a long time to happen... and the guy is more interested in career and money before relationships.
Posted by blackspot
I think arranged marriage is very common in a lot of Asian countries, I know some people here who were married to partners that their parents chose for them. Mostly they are done for political if not for business reasons. I don't like it and I think it's not good for the couple.
And you will have to be the angel who will show your friend the path towards the light!
I hope your friend is not bound by some political or cultural obligations, otherwise your efforts will be futile. Good luck!

Dear Uncle Meths,
I am in need of some advice. I find it difficult to deal with people whose sole reason for existence is to find confrontation wherever they go and who seek to pass their poisonous opinions onto all who will listen. I just want to hurt them.
Please can you help me deal with this uncontrollable ire I face?
Your faithful reader,
Dave
Posted by methylated_spirit
Ah, that old chestnut! The best thing you can do is remain calm, and keep your reasonable points to share amongst adults who will discuss your point, in a mature way. Im sure you dont mind people disagreeing with you, as long as its done in a respectful, open-ended, constructive way, but i would too draw the line at being called a liar and a racist, by a very childish person.
I find this smilie helps me no end in these situations:
Posted by dave_uk
Thank you for your valuable and helpful advice. You have hit the nail on the head - perhaps you should take this up professionally, what with the sixth sense you seem to possess. Almost as if you knew exactly what I was talking about.
Please, sir, where can I find such a smiley to ease my frustrations?
Posted by methylated_spirit
No problem, old bean, i am professionally trained at this. Simply click "edit" and you can lift the link for the smilie from my post!

Duh!

I also have another problem
i really want to plan mutiny throughout Esato, and if i get all the members to back me up, then world domination will not be far off
how would i do this?
Posted by methylated_spirit
My advice is: Dont bother. There have been a few attempted coups, im thinking of EGG and ELF, and they all failed. Why bother? Esato is great anyway...
