Syndicate Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) This is the only way I know how to get over an ex fast. This is a serious post. You have to buy some high fibre foods. Get some cans of beans, stock up for at least 2 weeks. Eat the beans and fibre rich foods so you get gassy. Whenever you have to fart (in private), think about your ex- visualize their face. Then, cup your hand over your butt and catch the fart. Put it up to your nose. It won't smell like feces but, instead, the smell should be toxic. Although the idea seems silly, it works. It will make you stop thinking of your ex in such a positive manner because when you start thinking about her you will associate the thought of her with a disgusting smell. The most important thing for moving on is to stop thinking about your ex, so for those moments when you do, you will most certainly associate your ex with the smell of your fart- not right away, but after a bit of practice. P.S. You have to do this for quite a while. It may sound disgusting but it is for those who are desperate. Edited July 16, 2011 by Syndicate

thelovingkind Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 The key to moving on is to start looking forward with a positive vision rather than looking backwards in any manner at all. Even if you are looking back at your ex and associating them with the most repulsive thoughts and sensations known to humans, you are not ultimately helping your cause. Imagining yourself as a healthier, better, smarter, improved person going on a date with someone new and exciting, and doing all the things you need to do now (work out, self development, healthier eating, more passions, better work ethic) to realise that vision down the line is a better approach. In saying that, there is a period of time immediately after the break up where thinking about your ex and the times you had together, good and bad, is all you are going to want to be doing and all you really should be doing. This is just as much a part of moving on as the latter stages of truly letting go and moving forward are.
D-Lish Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 I'm really not offended by my own farts, so I don't think this theory would work for me.

You should read about Neuro-linguistic programming and you will find that it is a good idea to think about your ex for a period of time with the goal of creating a negative association with thinking about them. All you want to do is think about your ex, cuppa fart, and hold it to your nose for a period of time. Basically, you do it to the point where you cannot think about your ex without thinking about the smell of a nutty fart.
thelovingkind Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Ah yes, Neuro-linguistic Programming, that totally discredited quack-science that just about every independent research body and council has found to have no empirical basis and zero claim to scientific credibility.

thelovingkind Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Whatever dude, you're the one trying to convince people to smell their farts for weeks on end.
Trimmer Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) I'm really not offended by my own farts, so I don't think this theory would work for me. My farts smell like expensive French perfume or fields of flowers, depending on what I've been eating. So yeah. but then whenever I have to fart.... I'll be thinking of her.... All you want to do is think about your ex, cuppa fart, and hold it to your nose for a period of time. Basically, you do it to the point where you cannot think about your ex without thinking about the smell of a nutty fart. ZOMG, Dr. Freud, paging Dr. Freud..... First of all, you're doing it wrong... Aversion therapy should work where you wait until an unwanted thought comes into your head, and then you invoke the aversion stimulus as negative feedback. What you are suggesting is that you have to wait around for a fart to happen, then you have to intentionally summon the unwanted thought, and then attempt to use that negative feedback to quench the very thoughts that you just summoned up intentionally? How screwed up are you trying to make yourself? And then I don't think you're getting HeartOfAPhoenix's point. I'm going to be farting for the rest of my life, I'm fairly certain. You think your technique will program me to attach repellent feelings to thoughts of my ex, but the attachment goes both ways, so isn't it going to bring up unwanted thoughts of my ex, every time I fart? It's not like I can stop farting for the rest of my life once I've deprogrammed myself... It seems like for aversion therapy to work, you want to use a repellent stimulus that (1) you have significant and immediate control over, and (2) won't be a regular part of your life forever after. Like, OK, here you go. Instead of farting, carry a hammer with you. Every time you find yourself thinking of your ex, put your hand on a table and hit it with the hammer. Ouch, right? Now you will associate this unpleasant stimulus with thoughts of your ex, and by your theory, it will banish those thoughts, is that it? And see, it's unlikely that you will be regularly hitting yourself with a hammer, so once you are "deprogrammed", you put the hammer away, and that stimulus will not come back (as will last night's bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and guacamole...) to remind you of those unwanted feelings. But thanks for the laugh. I loved "nutty". Edited July 16, 2011 by Trimmer
