Hello. Today I plan to meet a new person (human) for a date. I pity them.

please provide advice for wooing the fairer/less fairer sexes, specifically as it pertains to the portland metropolitan area.

I have attached a photo of myself to assist in your critiques and strategies. (for example, should i crook my eyebrow even higher?)

I'd recommend some scotch tape to get the eyebrow up as high as you can until it just starts to bleed a little bit, then layer tape over the blood until the blood isn't visible

but genuinely good luck goon

Well, from the picture he's kind of handsome in a very goonish way, you could give it a shot if you're into that kind of thing, and I bet he hasn't gotten laid in a while so he might be easy, but I made a napkin sketch of a goon once and it basically looked just like that so.... Pretty typical I guess

Oh, that's you OP? Hmm, yes, carry on

Do the beard trim stuff it's important.

Make sure to use the word "pulchritudinous" at least once during the date.

there's this one shockwave dragonball z game that was on cartoon network dot com and the menu screen just has that bit of the theme playing over and over again, but the audio compression muffles "ROCK" into "gently caress"

The point of dating is to find someone with whom you have chemistry, roughly aligned future goals, and shared interests. You can discover all these things by just being genuinely curious about this other human and genuinely interested in who they are. (i know this is not a mind-blowing revelation, i'm just table setting here)

I think one problem many guys have on dates is that they treat people they date like validation vending machines, paying a bit of attention in exchange for getting to be interesting, handsome, sexy, funny, whatever. And I think people know when they're seen in that kind of transactional way. I think people find it exhausting when they realize they are having to manage someone's sense of self-worth or dance around their insecurities.

People who date just want to go have a nice time with someone they enjoy being around, and this person has identified you, yes you, as someone who might be enjoyable to be around. That's half the battle right there! So just do your best to make them feel interesting, don't be afraid to share your own interests too so they can return the favor, and just try to keep a nice even rhythm of learning about them and learning about you.

And other than that, just let the date be the date, you know? Let this fun evening just be a fun evening. It doesn't have to be the start of an epic love tale, the first in a series of embarrassing calamities, it doesn't have to be anything else, just a nice time with a fellow human. Be present for the date, not planning out 5 steps in advance. And I'd say, let yourself consider the date a success if the two of you have a nice evening together even if you never see each other again. Then, if you DO see each other again, bonus, and if you don't, who cares, you had a nice evening.


edit: oops, i answered with sincerity like a loving cuck. Uh... let's see... hey, heh, don't forget to shave your balls and brush your teeth, and DON'T get those two mixed up lmao boom gottem

Do something with your hair

Agree with the facial and head hair needing to be shaped and trimmed. Go to a nice place and treat yourself to a barber that also provides beer/scotch.

Wear something slightly nicer than you normally would, buttons are good.

Have good posture, just standing and sitting straighter can make you appear (and feel!) more confident.

Have a few talking points that can lead into actual conversations. They might sounds cheesy, but asking open questions that are simple can get the ball rolling. (where was the last place you went on vacation and what was the best meal? Who is your favorite character from ______ and why? )

you didnt shown your teeth in your pic, but a nice set of chompers goes a long way. brush, floss, and for satan's sake (if you can afford it) get your teeth cleaned.

Good luck! and stay off your phone!

When I was on the market I got a fair amount of attention from women just by simply being a normal dude. And to clarify, I'm not a particularly handsome guy. I went into every date with the honest intention to only be friends and expect nothing from it. I certainly didn't have every date go somewhere but I did a lot better than a lot of the guys who were much better looking but desperate as poo poo. desperation stinks.
