Eureka!!

[kellinator]

I know my problem in social settings, both platonic and romantic, is that I try too hard to get people to like me. Well, I've got it. If I ever have a date again, I'll pretend he's a lawyer that wants something from me and turn on the ice-queen act that I can only pull off with said lawyers. I'll protect my emotions, and for an added advantage, much as you may try to deny it, guys love ice queens!

Ummmm yea, that'll help. You do that. *shakes his head*

On a related note I'm going to be an asshole from now on because I want women to like me and everyone knows women like assholes.

Heh...

In the town where I grew up, this is filed under "We hold these truths to be self-evident."

Looks like they'll have to start another folder. *rim shot*

Honey, you know when I'm being sarcastic, right?

Anyway, I can only do that ice queen thing at the office and only for about thirty seconds at a time. I was being pleasant by the end of the exchange that inspired this post.

Yes, you know I'm being ironic right? :)

Ice queens

... much as you may try to deny it, guys love ice queens!

... Given my track record, I'm not even going to try to deny it.

Sadly, I've seen women use that tactic and it actually seems to work.

"Huh? You're being a bitch to ME??? Well, that's it. I'm going to find out why and then change your mind..."

AH, dating. I sometimes miss it. Oh wait, NO I don't.

No, we don't. The only queens I like are on a chessboard or restaurants, preceded by the word "Dairy."

No drag queens or drama queens? ;)

[gmslegion.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. I've not actually met any drag queens, though I'm sure some of them might be lovely people. Drama queens, with the exception of the fictional character of that name from my comic strip, and my daughter, who out-dramas anybody on LiveJournal, and yes, I mean that, I could use fewer of.

Oh, wait, there's always "Burger Queen," that incredibly moody song by Placebo. I quite like that.

Pah! Back to your bars, your temples, your massage
parlours!

Uh... alright...

Cna't say anything, i get to work on my own pickup/social skills soon :)

This is absolutely the god's truth. Men ADORE women who treat them like dirt. I don't care how many men sit around and deny it, it is the TRUTH!

The worse you treat a man, the better he likes you. It is fucking SICK but it is true.

[adamosity.livejournal.com]

it goes both ways though--think of 'nice guys finish last' :-)

[moongarden1971.livejournal.com]

It's too bad the nice guys and gals couldn't find one another and get together, and leave the ice kings and queens to battle it out.

But opposites attract... Oh well...

That's it! We should start a certifiable match-type service -- website or something -- and you have to have references to join. Like, you gotta send in a list of like five people who will confirm that you are Indeed a Nice Person.

I gotta get on this. If only I knew how to program and advertise, I could make bank.
