Subject: 111 Tips To Being Confident

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

Well on the wonderful world of 4Chan a guide was composed of tips to boost both confidence and as a result general appeal. With all of the advice threads on this kind of thing posting a list like this seems the logical thing to do. To reiterate I did not write this list, the original writer is of course unknown. I leave you with the list, enjoy take it in, don't live by it, but I hope at least a few things here help you guys.

1. Have you ever been hugged and told you smell good? No? Invest in a GOOD SMELLING cologne.
2. On top of cologne wear deodorant, no one likes pit stains.
3. If you sweat a lot buy some high quality cotton shirts. Thin cheap ones won't absorb sweat. I personally always wear an undershirt, always have and always will.
4. If you wear a polo/button up -blam!-, WEAR AN UNDERSHIRT, the 16 year old nerd look does not work.
5. Buy a nice leather belt. You can wear it with almost any pants, excluding of course dress pants.
6. Don't dress like a rich -blam!-. Yes you should buy nice clothes, but don't go over the top. Some nice jeans for $60-110 and NEVER spend more than $110 on shoes unless they are dress shoes.
7. Never wear a bluetooth earset. Everyone will judge you.
8. No scarves either. Ever.
9. Smelly feet? Wash them with soap every day and step out of the shower in a different spot then where you stepped in. Boom everything on your dirty feet is now on your clean feet. Put baby powder in your socks. Also, if your shoes smell and you've cleaned them and let them dry, get a new pair.
10. Do some manscaping, just don't go overboard. This being Bungie.net I won't go into detail on the forums.
11. Shower every MORNING. Do you really want to be walking around with all the -blam!- on your pillow on your face? Plus no one likes the greasy hair look. Preferably get a good shampoo/conditioner combo and use it every day.
12. Use soap first, just regular soap, then use your good smelling body was.
13. Wash your face every night. Use an exfoliating wash, it helps
14. Bad acne? Put a fresh towel over your pillow every night, or if you move a lot, just change your pillowcases every night.
15.Never grow a mustache. Ever.
16. Only grow a beard if you can. Wash it often, as often as you do your hair, and of course after eating.
17. Brush your teeth before you sleep AND when you wake up. If you don't want mad morning breath be sure to brush your tongue. It should be pink, not white.
18. Want to know if you have bad breath? Lick the top of your hand, wait a few seconds, then smell it. Gross right? It works.
19. Never call a girl to just talk, have a purpose, ask her to hang out or something.
20. When you are asking a girl on a date, don't make it sound like a question, say something like "I'm free tomorrow. Come over and lets hang out" etc.
21. If you text a girl and she doesn't text back you better not text her for ALEAST 3 days, unless you see her the next day and it goes 100000% well. If she doesn't text the second time forget her, wait for her to text you.
22. You like the girl you're texting? Never. Ever. 1 word reply. Never even 2 word reply. Make every text interesting enough to continue the conversation.
23. If a girl is interested in a guy, she will prefer to talk to him side by side. If a guy is interested in a girl they prefer face to face. Use that to your advantage!
24. When talking keep eye contact in the same eye, don't switch eyes. Only break contact if you NEED to and only in between subjects.
25. Have that sexy smile, not your normal smile. Girls love a good sexy half smile, but don't make it creepy. Practice in a mirror.
26. Smile when talking to a girl, especially if she seems interested. Never make the smile creepy. Once again, mirror practice.
27. If you are interested in a girl, don't engage in a serious conversation with another in the room. Yes, you should talk to other girl and make yourself seem "hard to get", but she should still get the most attention.
28. Always be the one to break up, but don't be a douche about it. Don't use "it's not you it's me", do it in a semi-public, yet private location. Always do it in public! Have a civil conversation about it. Don't freak if she cries. Don't be a dick when breaking up, or she WILL tell other girls and you WILL get a reputation.
29. Never have bad breath. If you get mints, get those really small Altoid ones. If you do chew gum make sure it's minty and fresh. Always have extra gum to give her, if she doesn't ask, offer yourself.
30. Never cheat on a girl. Break up with her. You WILL get a bad reputation and no decent girl will go for you.
31. If a girl has a history of cheating, even once, don't bother. If she did it once she will do it again.
32. If a girl cheats on you break up with her and don't look back.
33. Be nice to all girls. Never let a girl hear you talk about about another girl no matter their social status.
34. Don't -blam!- talk girls you might go for later, even with friends. They will call you out on it, and you will look desperate. Your opinion on girls will change, so don't limit your options.
35. You know the tiers; -blam!- tier, bad tier, okay tier, good tier, god tier. Only go for good tier and up, don't "work your way up".
36. If a girl doesn't want to commit after around 2 months then walk away. If she asks you to "wait a while" just walk. Don't make it seem like you are forcing her into the relationship, she will tell friends, and they will think down on you. Walking away after 2 months is way easier than 3 months when she confesses she might love you. It will all be gone in 2 days and she will make it seem like your fault. Don't let her, be an alpha, only communicate with her if she initiates it. Trust me.
37. Don't go back to exs, they are exs for a reason.
38. Don't dump a girl and instantly go to her friends. Wait at least 4-6 months before going for her close friends, even then I would not recommend it.
39. If you are still in high school and the girl obviously likes you, walk with her to class as much as you can. Just do it! Trust me on this one.
40. Compliment your girl. If you aren't dating but you KNOW she likes you, tell he she looks pretty or something like that. Notice the little things like painted nails, or different hair cuts and styles.
41. Make it so a girl can never say it seemed like you didn't care if you really did. Compliment her. If she really likes Milky Way bars randomly get her one now and then. Make it so your little things are noticed.
42. Only tell a girl you love her if you mean it.
43. Don't let things go physical too fast. Trust me, wait at least a month and a half to get intimate.
44. Don't be a man whore. Hookups feel good in the moment, but are bad for long term. No girl wants to date a guy she thinks will think of her as an object.
45. If you are in a group and there is no room for you to walk in the line with them, walk IN FRONT. If you aren't in the conversation then stay to the front and say nothing.
46. Say hi to her when you see her, but don't go shouting it down the hallway.
47. Carpe Diem, really.
48. Never walk like you don't care. Always look like you have a purpose, shoulders squared and head up. Never look down and don't slouch. Swing your arms when you walk, but practice in a mirror so you don't look douchey.
49. When walking look people in the eyes, but never for more then half a second unless you plan to say hi to them.
50. Always say hi to people you know, unless you'd be interrupting a conversation. It keeps them aware you are on good terms.
51. You need friends. Friends get you places in life.
52. Don't friendzone yourself unless you KNOW you will NEVER want to date the girl. We all have that awkward girl friend, so don't be ashamed.
53. Don't wear headphones when walking around. You DO look like a douche and you WILL be judged.
54. Oh and never buy beats or some other brand name headphones and just wear them around your neck. Seriously.
55. If she starts talking to you, but finished the conversation talking to her friend, or quickly starts talking to her friend then she is NOT worth it.
56. If she never looks you in the eye when talking, but you always do, she is not worth it.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

57. If the friends of a girl you talk to come and talk to you and never have before, she likes you A LOT 90% of the time. Use that to your advantage.
58. Don't compliment to a point of being creepy. Trust your instincts.
59. Never make fun of people you think no ones knows or who leave the room. Chances are someone has for a long time and you now seem like a douche.
60. If you ever think "wow she is dumb" you are right 100% of the time. Don't fall for looks unless you can prove that point wrong. Talk to her friends to find out more, every situation is different, so check it out.
61. Exercise every day. Preferably run, but just do someting, lifting, pullups, anything. Just don't half ass it and act like you've accomplished something.
62. Don't eat like a slob, don't count calories, but don't be a pig. Exercise so you don't have to count calories, and just be smart.
63. Kiss a girl on the neck when making advances. Don't be a vampire or something, just a soft kiss.
64. Whisper things to them when you are intimate, cute things, compliments, etc.
65. Know about EVERY music genre, if she brings music up you want to be able to talk about it. It's a great start to get to deeper conversation.
66. You have an entire keyboard. Use it. Haha and Lol are acceptable here, but don't type like "Wat iz up gah hmu now i gon tlk t u!"
67. Pay attention to politics. Always.
68. Don't be an idiot, pay attention in class and to current events. Be knowledgeable, no one wants to talk to an idiot.
69. If someone says something you disagree with and you are in an appropriate setting, speak up. Girls like someone who stands for what they believe in, just don't over do it and be a douche.
70. Don't be a pervert. ESPECIALLY AROUND GIRLS.
71. If you're texting a girl and she starts using periods in her messages, she is most likely pissed.
72. Never ask a girl if she is on her period. If she is, she will get pissed, if shes not she will get REALLY pissed.
73. No, she most likely doesn't care about WoW or video games. Shut up about it.
74. Don't let video games or the internet consume your life. We all need to work on this. That's why I bothered copying this all down and why you're reading it. I spend to much time here. You do too. You don't meet girls on the internet. Rule #16.
75. 69 is not funny. You sound like you're 13 when you make jokes about it.
76. If you're talking nerdy things and want to do it in public, talk quietly, you may not care, but your friend might. So don't go yelling "SO BRO I WAS CODING SOME C++ AND I HEARD YOU DID SOME BACKEND PHP, CAN THOSE COMPUTERS TOGETHER MAKE AN EXE?"
77. Don't drive fast or reckless with friends just to look cool.
78. Be strong when things fall apart - Blink 182
79. You don't have to say no -blam!- after any moderately -blam!- statement with close friends. They know you're not like that, it's okay, meaningful, and human.
80. No, your friends do not have 8 inch schlongs and you don't either. The average is 5.6, don't lie and call out your friends. Really.
81. Say hi to her, just do it.
82. You want her number? After flirting if there is an awkward silence ask then, tell her shes fun to talk to.
83. When hugging a girl go arms under, no girl wants to feel like they're holding you up. Unless she's too short/you too tall of course.
84. When hugging a well endowed girl *cough* don't press your entire body against her numnuts. You will look desperate and like a douche.
85. Smile when you're talking to a girl. Not some creepy I wanna do you smile, a cute one. Like I said before GIRLS. LOVE. SMILES.
86. Why listen to me on any of these posture and walking tips? I was a model convention in high school, not like super model, like commercials and such. One class I took was "Presenting Yourself" and was run by some famous lady.
87. Ask a girl how her day went if you see her before school/work ends. It shows you care.
88. Don't brag to your friends about any action you got. It makes you seem like a douche and the more you do it the less they will believe you.
89. Just because she added, likes, commented on her facebook DOES NOT mean she likes you.
90. Don't let your first interaction be on facebook. Ever.
91. If she specifically says she will call/text then wait for it before you do, at least a day. If she doesn't answer that then forget her.
92. Don't be a hypocrite. I am thinking specifically of one "friend". He pisses me off.
93. If you have a beater car, don't spend a crap ton on rims more expensive than the car itself.
94. Appearance matters always, both for you and the girls you go after.
95. Always have nice shoes. Don't let them get dirty. Don't wear them a lot if they are brown. Alternate between at least 2 pairs.
96. Dunt -blam!- talk like dis brah. It is annoying and people will judge you. Learn to speak english properly and eloquently.
97. You only live once, and I mean that in the non go do something stupid way. Please don't jump in front of a bus screaming YOLO.
98. "If you aren't pushing your limits in EVERYTHING you do, then you might as well die. Yes there are platuees, but you can overcome them." -Bruce Lee
99. You can do anything. ANYTHING. Don't you ever think otherwise.
100. Own some sweaters, you can wear them at almost any occasion.
101. Iron your shirts. Don't be that guy with wrinkled up clothes that look like they were in your hamper for weeks.
102. If you life a girl and she invites you to her birthday and says "NO PRESENTS" get her a giftcard anyway, or atleast a card. Write something meaningful in it, don't use those generic Hallmark sayings. This goes for any major holiday aswell.
103. Make the first move.
104. If you want to talk to that hot girl at the bar/pool/work/school, just do it! If you're at work or school walk up and say hi. If you're in the pool swim up and say "damn it's hot today" then swim off. Come back later and say "Hi I'm anon, and you are?" or something like that. If it's a bar or club start talking about the song playing. Trust me.
105. You only live once, so just live no regrets. I mean this one. I've repeated it 3 times now.
106. Do crazy stuff, but don't get known as the crazy guy that can never taking anything seriously or something like that. People like the fun guy, but they also like someone they can connect with an be emotional.
107. When it comes to girls be predictable yet not. Predictable in the sense she knows you are always there for her, but unpredictable with your comments, when you say them, and of course your dates.
108. If you have yellow teeth seriously get whitening strips. No one and I mean no one likes yellow teeth.
109. Only date a girl that you can name 3 important things you have in common with.
110. If your deepest conversations are over texts it is NEVER going to work out. Remember this always. Face to face is ALWAYS better.
111. It's not cool to ever hit your girl. Ever.

So concludes 111 tips. I hope you have enjoyed and taken some of these to heart. I'm hoping to start seeing a whole lot of success threads now instead of depressed one. Have at it Flood. Go out there and be the man you were meant to.

A got a tip for confidence; don't give a flying -blam!- about what anyone thinks about you. That is literally it. For example, hobos have the highest amount of confidence because they really don't give a -blam!- because they've lost all hope in their life and they are worth less than absolutely and utterly nothing at all. Therefore they are worthless and don't have anything at all to lose. As a result of this, they have limitless confidence because of their -blam!-lessness.

Well if you do that you will most likely come across as douchey. You have to have the right balance. Like it or not appearances and personality do count.

You'll get a reputation as a douche then and no one will want to be friends with you? I thought that was common sense. There is a difference between confidence and hitting on everything that looks like a girl. You don't want to be that guy.

Then he's an ass and you shouldn't care what he thinks. You're your own person and you can redefine yourself at any time. Just make the choice. As for you family them not accepting you is pretty awful, I can understand how that could be hard, but you just have to be happy for what you are.

So two hours into the relationship was too fast?

I would recommend it, though I have no doubt it's true. Like the guide says, you can use that to your advantage by walking next to her. Trick her mind. Also thank you, took a heck of a long time to copy over from the image.
