SilentVoice Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 This list is stupid as hell because a) I don't do any of that stuff b) I would NEVER do any of that stuff 3) I don't know anybody who DOES any of that stuff. They had some stuff on the list I can see is pretty common, and see why women would have a problem with it, though (Wearing a bluetooth, wearing skinny jeans, sloppy table manners), and some stuff that I can see why would be a problem, but they seemed to make too big a deal out of (talking about video games). But most of this shyt is stuff that seems WAY the ***k off base, and I don't ANYONE who does that shyt (Wearing Christmas sweaters, wearing cutoff jeans/leather pants, walking around with no shirt on in public, grabbing your nuts for no reason, calling people "Dudester" and "Broski" [The only people I know who say shyt like "Dudester" are guys that are making a joke about how only the douchiest of douchebags say that]) I also love how one of the chicks on the show was talking about how a guy with a chain wallet must have no money and four unused condoms in it. Who the **** has used condoms in their wallet? Booyah!!! lol but I hope no one is actually takes this list serious .. it was all for kicks. Link to post Share on other sites

HokeyReligions Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I just happened across that show the other day and watched a little of it. Mind you, I'm in a Vicodin haze (oral surgury last week), but what I saw was absurdly funny! The scariest thing is that there are so many gullible people who will watch it and follow it and may miss out on the best love of their life. Any man who can go thru waxing off their body hair is someone I might trust to understand ME a little better!! I do agree with the comb-over as undateable though. Link to post Share on other sites
WTRanger Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 The show as for entertainment. The show featured opinions, not facts. Anytime they wanted to counter widely agreed upon opinions on things such as juicing, fake tans, waxing a man's eyebrows, tanks tops, etc, they just asked the cast of "Jersey Shore." I mean, seriously, you are going to listen to Paulie D, Snookie, and J-Woww about their dating habits? Jesus tap dancing Christ! Not everyone finds the same thing attractive and what are you willing to do to compromise to better your chances to find a date. That's what makes this dating thing so fun. They could ask every girl in the world, and each will have slightly varying opinions about what she finds sexy in a man. Just as each guy would about what he finds sexy in a girl. Some of the basic topics were good, but they are all common knowledge. I mean, who burps out loud or publicly takes a Beano (anti farting medicine) on a first date? If any guy did any one out of the 100 things, it's not shocking that they are a dateless wonder. Link to post Share on other sites
LucreziaBorgia Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I haven't seen the show, but I have looked through the book. Some of that stuff is so funny, and I do see more than a few guys walking around looking like they are in that category - not necessarily for looks, but for the way they wear their clothes, have their hair, groom (or not groom) the facial hair and so on. Some stuff I personally don't care for: dad jeans grizzly adams beard (further points detracted if the person smokes) douchewear shirts tucked into said 'dad jeans' nuthuggers/moose knuckles tighty whities mullets (zef mullets like Die Antwoord are exempt) banana hammocks novelty shirts like you find in Spencers Ed Hardy ghetto "style" - pants on the ground, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

C'mon Hokie, if you were out on a date (and for all intent and purposes), your date burped and passed wind at the dinner table, you'd be okay with that? That's really the whole premise of this show, I would imagine...But, it sounds kind of funny and now I want to watch it. Link to post Share on other sites

Hahah, don't get me wrong, I totally agree with WTRanger here...it is definitely just for entertainment and shouldn't really be used in any fashion as a definitive guide to dating...when I turned it on and watched a couple of the segments, I was just hooked, as I see a lot of what they cover all the time...and it makes me laugh... And I didn't have anything better to do on a Friday night... Link to post Share on other sites
Rorschach Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I just finished watching the marathon, I'm glad the only one I'm really guilty of is playing DnD, and temporarily I have man boobs =P but I knew that one already. Link to post Share on other sites

I played Magic the Gathering pretty obsessively in my younger days. There's nothing wrong with that. Frankly if you can find a girl into that, you win the prize. They do exist. The only way I can see something like that making a guy undateable is if he's obsessed with it. Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, i don't see it being any sort of problem, I play DnD one night a week which lasts for about 4-6 hours, sometimes i play boardgames with a boardgame group on sundays for another couple hours. Its no different than any hobby somebody has, mine just doesn't involve getting drunk with friends, rather PRETENDING to get drunk Link to post Share on other sites

Well actually it is pretty geeky There are a couple of bars in Chicago I frequent that have stacks of board games and many girls love to play them (as do I). That doesn't make you undatable. If you're doing it the majority of your free time though, well, you're taking yourself out of the game by definition Link to post Share on other sites

I have enough good things going for me where no reasonable person would give a damn anyway. And like you say most girls like boardgames (though I probably play ones you've never heard of, though I still enjoy a good game of yahtzee) and some even like DnD In my opinion fantasy football is just as geeky as DnD, so I secretly laugh at people whenever I hear them talking about their rosters.

TaurusTerp Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I just watched some of this show. I find it completely and utterly stupid. It goes to assume a bunch of things. Like that all guys that play games live in a basement of their mothers place, and don't have a job, and are fat. I have a single roommate, I live on my own, pay for everything on my own, and have a great job, and I'm not exactly fat. I'm not in shape but I'm not fat, not by a long shot. Some of the stuff is just obvious too, like grabbing your crotch in public? Or saying "bros before hoes" in front of your girl? seriously? Judging by the fact that the show is hosted by girls who have less intelligence then a walnut and by comedians...I don't think the show should even have one iota of credulance put to it's name. You are taking this show WAY too seriously, man. Chill. Link to post Share on other sites
Ariadne Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I saw bits of this show and it's very misleading.. Basically: If you own sports shirts you are undateable, if you have a lava lamp, if you wear a tank top, if you this and that etc, etc. Shows like this just create insecurity in people that are already having a hard time.

Disciple of Mystery Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Metal you say?? The show is wrong. I've worn metal-related shirts and it has sometimes been a conversation starter for "normal" looking girls. i agree with you. i used to like to wear such items and they worked for me and some of them are very good conversation starters. i learned a whole lot when it comes to dating from The Pick Up Artist in the past couple years and read all of his related material and all his stuff works to my surprise and was blown away with the results that came forth from doing that!! From that i learned that it almost doesn't matter what you wear as long it is clean and presentable (and use a lot of confident body language) you WILL call a girl's interest and she will find out what you are all about. heres the thing that makes all of what these 2 women (the authors of the Undateable book) look ridiculous. they are picking certain celebrities that wear such attire against their book to the point where VH1 labels these individuals as a "repeat offender" and making them "undateable". and this list of: Bret Micheals, Criss Angel, Russel Brand (i dont like him but he still gets chicks), Ray Jay, and Justin Timberlake. HERES THE NEWS FLASH!!! THEY ALL GET CHICKS!!!!! They can even throw in the Masters of pick up and call them undateable while they are at it. heres the funny thing. every time i type in UNDATEABLE, my spell check wants to correct it and change the word to UNEATABLE. so even my Mac is noticing that something is wrong with all of these needless rules. and im only talking about 15% of the whole list. what do you guys think? mention something that i missed.

Im with ya on that dude. also the rule we cant wear the Hawaiian shirts anymore. OK ladies what about the Hawaiians? ARE THEY RULED OUT??!! come on! that will be the day. A DAY WITHOUT THE HAWAIIAN SHIRTS IN THE STATE OF HAWAII. i bet these girls are the typical kind that want to go after The Artifcial Man of their dreams cuz they think that is what a real man should be. Didnt our mothers taught us guys to be who we are and not the person that WE ARE NOT?? as much as i love the girls in the area that i live in, im only able to be more closer towards girls from out of state. i even dated a mexican chick (who was really hott even though she was an illegal immigrant) who i had more fun with in 3 months than going on 1 date with this chicks who demand us that we have to get our balls cut off. by the way, dont be yourself. but be your BEST-SELF.

Don't give up on geeky habits... as long as you don't overdo them and make a woman feel as if you're not fulfilling her needs to spend time with someone / do mutually fun things together, they won't mind if you occasionally partake in something "geeky." I do a *ton* of geeky things (some of which are possibly geekier than DnD) and my current girlfriend is totally cool with them. We even have a ton of geeky things in common... haha. In past relationships, I always felt myself "undateable" sometimes because I'd always have to suppress or hide my geek side in order to be compatible with anyone, and it made me feel a bit self-conscious. It's totally not impossible to make it work though -- and you'll be so much happier if you feel like you can just be yourself around a woman who accepts you. I'm a rather geeky/eccentric/sarcastic person in real life (think Sheldon Cooper + Gregory House) but my current gf says that this is the most attractive quality about me to her.
