I'm telling you, it's jobs. We gotta get jobs. Then we get the khakis. Then we get the chicks.
"Be confident. Be yourself, and girls will like you."
Words than may make your skin crawl. Words that, when uttered, may actually be the most useless, empty excuses for advisement in the long, sad history of useless empy excuses for advice.
Unless I say them.
Being confident means giving no apologies for the way you are. Being yourself means acting on those interests and preferences unabashedly.
You must be aware, however, that if you tell a girl that no girls like you and how all girls are superficial horrible penis-chasers, and how unfairly you are treated and how horrible your luck with girls is, it will not inspire her to instill alot of confidence in you. Likewise dogging everything you see around you as mindless claptrap or uninispiring drivel isn't going to endear anyone to your high intellect. It may inspire them to see you as a negative, prententious and unhappy person.
Girls (and everyone in general), I think, want to be around someone who is confident in that he seems HAPPY to be who he is. He is at a certain point in his life and he is comfortable there. He has his interests, he has his friends, and he persues what makes him happy without necessarily needing to convince others to think likewise. Maybe he is outside the lines of the typical cookie-cutter Mr. Popular, but he does not apologize, and especially does not complain about it. If you are not happy with where you are in life, why would a woman want to join you there?
A good rule of thumb is this: Stand back and think about what you just said. If at any point you find yourself channeling the spirit of either Comic Book Guy or Roger Ebert, nobody likes you.

Gee, I wonder if this is directed at anyone. :P
That's good advice. I intend to take it to heart myself if I ever quit playing video games and decide I want a girlfriend.
