Been a while since I been here and did try to do a search to make sure this aint been done before or at least not too recent.
On a positive note, what was the best advice you had been given, that really had an impact on your life? Or maybe a well known quote, you strongly agree with?
In my younger days, I went through a phase were I was a complete and utter cow to anyone and everyone. Then my mum told me something that always stayed with me. Basically saying, you should treat others, how you want to be treated.
Ok... Go!

Life is reciprocal; you get what you give.
yuck hehe
That one definitely helped me get my head in gear.
I also like Nike's slogan: Just do it!
Those two are sort of the mottos I live by now.
"Ever notice that 'what the hell' is always the right decision?"
Whenever I'm being reluctant, I just say "What the hell" then I go through with it.
...what the hell
And, don't be afraid to tell people to fuck off.
"Life is not counted by the years that you lived; but the love that you gave, and the things that you did."
I think hey sod it and do what you have to. My main outlook is life at the present is that I don't EVER want to look back when I'm old and wrinkly and say "oh I wish I did this" or "I wish I did that". I've got to do everything I could ever want to do now and in the next few years before life gets boring! The good, the bad and the ugly included!

She said don't be friends with girls - either have more than friendship (whether that's fucking, dating, a relationship) or nothing at all. She said if a girl you like just wants to be good friends tell her no, you're not interested in that. Don't waste your time being the chump who has to sit through being with a girl whinging how she can't get a guy / her bf is horrid etc. Fuck it all - demand more than friendship or cut them off entirely. This advice has made life so good in the last couple of weeks - I've "stopped my losses" not wasting any time with girls where things aren't going to work, and have got what I wanted with girls who like me but wanted to take things slower.

You always regret the things you didn't do, more than the things you did.
It's always later than you think
And the third which applies well to work and household chores
Do it now!
you are a horrible person
Today I am a complete and utter bastard and a total cunt. And I am so, so much better off for it. I get exactly what I want in life and am most of the time feeling fucking great and happy. I've minimised the time I waste getting nowhere, and efficiently ensure everything I do has a purpose that will improve my wellbeing/happiness, career or health.
Guys who are getting nowhere with girls and upset about that, turn into a fucking bastard, it will be so good for you. :thumb:
That's a very dangerous bit of advice. I saw a gorgeous girl the other day, and the way I wished to be treated was for her to jump on me, pin me to the ground and do naughty things to me. So logically.......:p
The hot friends of my female friends have been a far more fruitful pulling ground than any other source.
At the time it was advice from a technology techinician at school about entering a remote control lorry design and build competition but at the time he pointed out that it applied to the rest of life. I've got so much out of off chance asks or trys so far that I've learnt it's true. If there's something you fancy doing, think you might enjoy, then it's worth a shot.
You can't look after other people unless you look after yourself.
The same technician (he was an awesome guy) when I was running myself into the ground trying to look after a friend, but it's very true.
ok fair enough. if you think its working out for yo better this way, so be it. but i still dont think its a good way of treating women. it boils down to what you intentions are and yours isnt what one would consider to be dignified. frankly, if the girls youre after hears the stuff you say here, they are likely to shun you away.
Perhaps a bit of a contradiction here?
Anyway, keep up at being the complete bastard and when you REALLY need someone to be a friend, you won't find anybody.
However I've found the guys I've been nice to have always been there when I needed them.
:yes: :yes: :yes:
Incidentally, when I say "clicked straight away", this is an euphenism for "we had a couple of drinks and spent several hours shagging each others brains out". And why not, eh? Where's a good hitman when you need one?
