UCFKevin Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 So apparently this is a turn on for some women. I went downtown last night for Cinco de Mayo and proceeded to get extraordinarily drunk. During my bender, I stood up on my chair and began singing along to the music that was being played and used an umbrella as an air guitar. Being drunk, I didn't care what I looked like, I was just having a hell of a lot of fun, my buddy Jeff got up and did the same thing. Well, a bunch of pretty cute chicks were watching and clapping and laughing and I even got a few bucks tucked into my pants, which was pretty damn cool. Then this girl came over to me and told me how she loved how I just got up and made a fool of myself and thought I was really cute and wanted my number just based on that. I found that to be very interesting. Is this a common thing? Women who like guys who just don't care about what people think about them?
IhavenoFREAKINclue Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 I think its more of a sense of humor issue. i would definitely like a guy who did that...... i would think that he has a great sense of humor to go up there and do that.....which intertwines with your personlity....who says getting up and singing is making a fool of yourself? Sing away Kev!
outdated Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 It's called confidence man! Even if you don't think so. Everybody wants to be confident enough to do whatever they want, whenever they want, and I bet there were just as many guys that were jealous of your confidence as there were girls that were turned on by it. NOt that it matters... Girls love confidence and don't consider it making a fool of yourself. Keep up the good work- I see a shagging in your future.
ConfusedInOC Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Dollars mean nothing, Kev. DID YOU GET SOME DIGITS?!
ConfusedInOC Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Originally posted by UCFKevin Well, yeah. ^5 for you, mang!
Author UCFKevin Posted May 6, 2005 Author Posted May 6, 2005 Funny thing is, I didn't care too much. I was just having fun, I wasn't too flirty or anything, I was very laid back about it and that only seemed to increase her interest. And she's older. Haaaay. But I'm seeing someone anyway, nothing serious but she's pretty much the best thing to come into my life in ages.

alphamale Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Originally posted by UCFKevin Is this a common thing? Women who like guys who just don't care about what people think about them? Yes, its shows confidence and that bad boy, dont-give-a-damn attitude. If you can do karaoke it is sorta the same effect cause 98% of dudes will not get up on stage to do it. It puts you apart from all the regular joes out there (of which there are many)
Merin Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 << Finds This kind of Guy very appealing.. It isn't so much what you did in making a fool of yourself.. more that you're obviously able to let go and have a good time and not worry what other people think... so leads me to believe there wouldn't be much this Guy wouldn't do to make me smile.. ya know?!
Author UCFKevin Posted May 6, 2005 Author Posted May 6, 2005 Ah ha. THAT makes plenty sense. Well, good for me, then. I did like having that attention though. I'm such a whore.
XNemesisX Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Yeah, I think it depends on who is doing it. Like say, when you did it it may have looked cute but if someone else did it people would have thought, "omg I am embarrassed for him." Take my friend G, for example. He takes making a fool out of yourself to an extreme. One time we went to wal-mart and he threw himself on the ground and grabbed my pant leg and started screaming "MOMMYYYY BUT I WANT IT!!!" and was fake crying. *cough* no one thought that was amusing. But I think that what you did would have been really cute...would have caught my attention too..and hey when you are intoxicated it makes it a whole lot easier to act goofy doesn't it?
reservoirdog1 Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 With every area of life, context is key. Kev's air guitar? Perfect given the surroundings. That f*cked up whiny baby Walmart thing? Not so much. The older I get, the more I've come to believe that women don't necessarily all covet "bad boys" -- they just need somebody who will keep them on their toes at times. Not somebody so off the freakin' wall as to be totally unpredictable and incapable of being a bastion of security, but somebody whose response to a given situation isn't always exactly the same every time. Gotta mix it up a bit.
Author UCFKevin Posted May 7, 2005 Author Posted May 7, 2005 Oh, I totally hammed it up. It was one of those umbrellas that you press the button to extend, so I'd stand up on the chair, look around at the crowd, and dramatically press the button to extend it and begin jamming. I wish I could've gotten it on tape. I know many pictures were taken of me, though, there and when I got up onstage all alone and danced my ass off. That temper tantrum kinda thing is SO f*cking lame and played out, it's like something Tom Green would do seven years ago, and it wasn't that funny even then. I don't really understand why anyone would find that amusing, let alone do it.
Max Zoom Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Max thinks it was cool for UFC to pull that off. However, Max would like UFC to get married, have 3 kids, age 12 years and try the same stunt at a wedding reception with the wife watching. See how things turn out then.
HotCaliGirl Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Girls feel more comfortable to approach a guy when he is acting a little goofy, not as threatening, compared to the cocky confident guy who is reserved to himself - I don't know many girls who would prefer to approach him, even if he was cuter, better dressed and all...

When first reading your posts I thought you were a weirdo, but you often offer an interesting new perspective on things.
Author UCFKevin Posted May 7, 2005 Author Posted May 7, 2005 You can be a weirdo and still give new perspectives.
gd1039 Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Originally posted by UCFKevin Being drunk, I didn't care what I looked like... crutch, not confidence.
tokyo Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Originally posted by gd1039 crutch, not confidence. True!
KissMyTiara Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 I agree - crutch, not confidence. Personally, I wouldn't find that sort of behavior attractive, but I can understand how acting like a goodball would allow other females to feel as though they could approach you without being brutally rebuffed...
alphamale Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Originally posted by KissMyTiara I agree - crutch, not confidence. i disagree. in an environment where most people are inebriated it does not matter cause all are equally handicapped. it still takes SOME balls to make yourself look like an idiot even when u are drunk. most people refuse to do karaoke even after they've drunk a half bottle of jack daniels.
Lights Posted May 8, 2005 Posted May 8, 2005 Dunno. In my experience it can go either way. Sometimes the guy who doesn't give a crap what anyone else thinks or even does something simple like doing something crazy in public is viewed as the "psycho" or the "crackhead" (those have been my experiences), and other times he's viewed as someone who's fun or funny in a crazy kind of way. To sum it up, if you had fun, great. If you met someone cool too, that's great too.

Author UCFKevin Posted May 9, 2005 Author Posted May 9, 2005 Yeeeeah, I don't really consider what I did to be psychotic or crackheadish.
