this is for the guys.


I am sick...and ...tired....of you guys. seriously!!!! single men that is. like myself.


have you ever....ever seen a beautiful women you would like to meet while grocery shopping/walking/at the bar( although i do not recommend taking any girl home from the bar)??


did you get her number?


WHY NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

this is irritating me. i have sympathy because i used to be there. but man it is irritating to watch guys just...walk away when they are clearly interested!!! or see a woman they would like to meet....but just pass it up as "why would a girl like that date me?"


i just want to let you guys know that ...that is the biggest cop out line i have ever heard in my entire life. not only is it completely false....its a cop out.


just thought i would let you know that the day you start realizing that you are a catch, any girl would be lucky to have you....you will be successful in meeting women as well as MANY other areas of your life.

sorry i just watched a friend of mine use the cop out line and it really pissed me off. i am tired of guys taht think woman run this "meeting/dating" show. THEY DONT!!! you let them. the day you stop letting them is they day they dont any more. stop having this scarcity mentality. there are MILLIONS of woman in this state alone. why are you worried baout what ONE of them thinks about you? who cares?!?!!? blehhhhhh

anyway. jsut venting a bit.

Coming soon to a bookstore near you- "Meeting Women For Dummies" by the Merg!
Probably be a"pop-up" book

Brag about your women skills after you load up the June flotilla. You'll have everyone's attention at that point.

Here's a money maker: Merg's Fashion Thong for Men, yellow in the front, brown in the back

Young Merg, I have to say, your one size fits all advice stinks. Some guys are way better off not meeting the woman of their dreams. They should take advantage of easy opportunities for sexual recreation when they happen and then go fishing or something.

I think you are a young Snake Pliskin and you have a long road to walk before you're qualified to give advice to the lovelorn.

Thanks AuntyM, I think that was a compliment.

Actually, I prefer women to approach me.

Yes Snake, that was an off hand compliment.

Some guys really SHOULD run like hell.

I'm just wonderin' how any of us guys managed to have any kind of love life before we read the Merg's post?

I have read this three times and am speachless.. thats pretty un-common.

Vince tells us how to find fish in secrete places and Merg tells us how to find women. I think a day in a boat with you tow at the same time would either broaden my horizons or make me want to shoot myself.

All in all, pretty entertaining stuff. If you can work up a post about how to have my wife not get mad when I scope out all these hot chicks I am terrified of I'm all ears

The Merg stars as DON KNOTTS IN THE LOVE GOD!

Simple. Dont check out hot women. its a lesson in self control the more you have of it....the better off you are. something men ( including myself) have to learn....as we are on short supply of it from the factory.

Now here is a fine example of what i am talking about The blind leading the blind.

i am interested to know your views and expiriences in picking up women of high values and standards? give me a few stories of how well some of the things you have tried worked? work on my confidence for me....what do i need to be thinking when i walk up to a women when i want to get her number? tell me....what do you think about ...what were your struggles, trials, and tribulations in meeting exceptional women and trying to start a conversation with a women you are interested in? i would love to know


If i want to make a million dollars...i will take advice from someone who makes a million dollars a year...not someone who makes 30,000.



i was not posting this to make a point. i was venting. Men let society and women tell them what they should be doing to meet and date women....its a freakin travesty.

90% of women dont know what the heck they want...until they met him

one size does fit all.



one man who believes in himself, has confidence, is funny, clean, chivalrious, sets standards for himself and the people he chooses to bring into his life, and doesnt settle for ANY second class behavior from ANYBODY.....is good enough for every women in this state.....that is worth dating

count on it.

its just an epidemic i see everywhere. men trying to impress women.....WHy!?!?!

the day you dont need some womens APPROVAL ...for ANYTHING is the day women will fight to get yours. its human nature.

ever hear a women complain about something you or some previous guyhas done to her ?? ( we are not talking abuse or anything like that)

" i hate when......my ex used to listen to his music really loud"
normal guys say what?

" oh...i never do that ( in their head they make a mental note not to listen to the music so loud) "

STOP THAT!!!! you are not being athentic. you are lying to yourself and her. if she cant handle loud music at this point in the game....or is going to judge you for listening to loud music.....screw off!! theres like 10 million women within a 10 mile drive!!!!

my answer?

" thats to bad....i listen to my music so loud sometimes...i make the neighbors down the street wet the bed"

funny? yes....its also ' http://www.i dont need your approval.com'

stop trying to impress women....make them impress you!! they're the ones who need to impress you to see if they are good enough for you!

gosh....its ...mind boggling some of the things men do for attention from women!!! look how they dress, dye their hair, wear those cute shoes, silky dresses...who are they trying to impress YOOOOUUUUUUU!!! and the other girls who thought they would be the cutest but mostly you.

Start acting like a women when you go out on a date. seriously!
talk about how the last one screwed up. just a few times. if she spills or trips or slops food...lift up your arms and say semi loudly " your so embarrassing!!, i cant take you anywhere!" its funny!!


be funny....if your not funny....you are lost my friend.

i could go on and on. blehhhh its just irritating to watch my fellow men get bent over one woman....or pine after this one woman....or worry what this woman or that woman thinks, or they have to get wasted to talked to ONE woman!!! just one!! it kills me to watch my fellow man ruin his life worrying about this woman thing....this supposed Elusive thing that is like 75% of a mans life....i just want to shake them " your in a pu**y trance!! snap out of it!"


when you figure out this women thing....and realize you could have any women you want ( seriously) ANY ONE!! it gives you the confidence....a confidence i cant describe. your job will go better. you will get promotions....find a better job...and be well liked by everyone....your quality of life goes up....your a happier person. its one less thing in your life to worry about. what if meeting women...or finding THE woman was just like ....eating. just another function you can do. you dont have to eat all the time. and you certainly could eat BETTER. but your not worried about it. just another part of your life that you can do anytime you want....do you know what that feels like!???? god...its liberating. sorry i am going on and on here but society has made a bunch of pining pansy's out of us and its irritating

Sounds like Merg read and memorized his copy of "The Game."

I'm not sure what I would have done with that kind of information when I was 18 or 20.

Merg, I can only respond by telling you I am a total failure. I have NEVER picked up a woman in my life. Not a one.



As to the rest of your advice, forgetaboutit.

Merg is trying to set the bar where it doesn't belong. Most of you should be fishing, hunting and having a good time because life is too short to obsess about women all the time. Half of them are more trouble than they're worth.

Quality women will find you if you just relax and be comfortable and happy with who you are.

hmmm i have heard of that book....never read it. was recommended to me by a man named david deangelo.

Merg.. is this what your trying to say.

How to Date Fine Chicks
The first rule in dating fine chicks is to treat them like they are ugly. This will keep them from treating you like [censored]. Fine girls know they are pretty, but they do not know how pretty they are in comparison to other fine chicks. This makes them insecure. Unlike ugly chicks, who know that they are f#@king ugly, fine girls want to hear that they are pretty. Avoid that sh!t. Only say they are pretty when they ask. If you go off worshiping her, she is going to wipe her ass with you.

Most of you should be fishing, hunting and having a good time because life is too short to obsess about women all the time. Half of them are more trouble than they're worth.

Quality women will find you if you just relax and be comfortable and happy with who you are.

------------------------------------------


Merg is trying to set the bar where it doesn't belong.

i broke these things into 2 groups. this one down here...totally false. but if you take that first bit of advice....you will do just fine.

the bar belongs higher than most men think . if you set your goals out into space.....and you just reach the sky....then you are doing just fine

and keep in mind....as a woman...you have NO idea what its like in this man body and how much we think about it:)

hahahah sooort of.....hmmmm i will have to think a bit to answer that one but i will give you a really good answer.

Merg, when it comes to picking up women, Bill Murray said it best in the movie "Stripes"........"chicks dig me because I rarely wear underwear and when I do, it's usually something unusual".

you have to understand that no MATTER WHAT...if you are looking for an attractive women....they get hit on, approached, talked to by men.....about 200 times a day. ....beleive me i know...i have a girlfriend



she is the nicest girl. awesome. but i have watched her turn guys down frequently. its like 100 times a day. its nothing for her . she doesnt even think about it. so if your trying to hang out with her and just see if she's even "your" kind of material...you have to have a very different mindset and approach then every other guy. so do the opposite of everything oyu have ever learned or thought about women and you will do just fine : )

make fun of her in a playful FUN and FUNNY way.

cocky funny

borderline arrogant...but arrogance is a false sense of confidence. NEVER BE AROGANT
just be a little cocky BUT always in a funny way.

that girls ass is HUGE
turns into

"j.Lo is in the house"

its funny.

be comfortable.

the one thing i worry about what you said is...never treat a women anything other than you would want ot be treated. that being said...everything i have said...you would love to be treated like that. its fun...ambiguious...flirty...not sure whats going to happen next...different...entertaining.....but always with respect. just like you would want.

Merg, more power to you, but I've been a woman a good long time. I know what they think they want and I know what they really need when it comes to men. I can spot the good men a long way off.

Chasing the arm candy for fun is fine. But if you get serious, be prepared to lose. Lose a house, lose your income, lose your kids.

This is the state of Washington. If you are a man, BEND OVER.

I think B-Run's quote from years ago fits this thread nicely. I believe it goes something like:

"No matter how hot she is, there's some guy out there who's sick of her sh!t" ... or something like that?

Thanks for the advice Merg... I'll try to put it to good use! But at 44... them young twentysomething girls just don't seem to respond to me the way they used to?

Merg,
Your advice doesn't go well here as most of the readers are not in the same position as you. Since this is a fishing board, I will put this in fishing terms. Most of us have taken our possession limit. Any additional attempts to fish, even catch and release, could result in serious fines. Those in that are still fishing, do not have as fresh as bait as you do.

You may enjoy catch an release, but there are some problems with continuing this over the long run (I won't go into the moral objects to this, though if some people are right you may pay dearly for this in the end).
First of all, as your bait gets older, you will not catch as many as you have in the past. The ones you do catch, will definitely not be of high quality and will cut horribably. Most of the quality fish will have already been taken by other fisherman. Agian, while new fish may move be available, they will not take your bait unless you are lucky enough to suppliment it with very expense additives.
As you get older, be careful. As some of the older members here may tell you, there are a lot of down river brights that become extremely agressive as you get older. Avoid these at all costs. They cut horribably and are not worth possessing.
On another note, I noticed that you seem to imply that you like to try to catch multiples. These may be fun to catch and release but while they may appear to like your bait, they most likely are cannilbalistic. If you try to take these home they most likely are more interested in eating each other and leaving you hungry.

If you are smart enough to realize that you should take your possession limit and quit fishing, be extremely carefull. Treated badly, your catch could go bad quickly. If you chose wisely and treat it right, your catch can last you a lifetime.

Words of wisdom from Krijack..Take heed, ass, oops I mean grasshopper!

Hahahaahahhha.......I am amazed that I made it this long without that info. Three kids later and the Merg gives me love advice.........thanks kid ....but chicks like you post are a dime a dozen (but still hot) we've all had 'em then married for content. (too be continnued)

Find a soul mate and you'll chill out.

Just check for an adams apple. Hahahhah.

Thanks for the helpful try.

thats whats funny. its hard to understand as a woman....but all of the physcology...literally thousands of women i have talked to and interacted with...... women do not have a choice in the attraction department. i could show you any time of the week. pick any woman ( thats single, just because i dont wreck homes but i used to just go after taken women in my bastard days)

anywhere. i can establish an attraction with her. its all about your frame of mind and how you come across.

why do women ( 99%) of the time stay with men that beat them???

or treat them like crap??

or pick the wrong "bad boy" type ALL THE TIME????

ever notice beautiful women......with the goofiest lookin dudes??

dont see to many good lookin guys with ugly women.

theres a whole slew of physcology behind it. once you learn about how the interaction goes...and you have the confidence to pull it off....

this is years....Years ...of beating the streets...reading books....hahaha testing stuff out on women. wonce you get it though. its amazing. theres a game going on. No matter who you are, how old you are...there is an interaction "game" so to speak , going on between a man and a woman when they interact on that level.

guys: you ever been talking to a woman....its goin along jsut fine...your thinkin your doin ok...then ...bam....you get this weird vibe like......i think its done...i think i just lost it??? but you dont know why.....or she all of a sudden wont return your calls?? or acts a little weird around you?? its all that physcology that goes with interacting with the opposite sex. you missed something and it basically just hosed you


thank god women can be attracted no matter what you look like because that enables ANY guy to go interact and establish an attraction with ANY women he chooses. ANY!!!!!!

men are totally different. 90% is if we are attracted to the "looks" of a woman. We are all visual. But......thats visually stimulating in our OWN minds. society pushes most men to think that super skinny model types are the way to go. but taste differs. it would have to for the human race to go on. But fit looking women will always be attractive to men because of the fact that , taht is a desireable trait in any mate. visual stimulation. Women are 90% personality stimulation


i have a fat bald friend about 210 lbs 5' 8" .....this man dates some of the hottest women i have ever seen. most of them ...yes...arm candy. but after you date the idiots for awhile you start to narrow down your standards....your morals....and your values. you start being able to get VERy picky.

he finally found one of the most amazing women i have met in my day...drop dead gorgeous....smart....bachelors degree.

no no no i know most of you are older....i was starting this as a vent. mostly i think that 99% of guys under sell themselves.

no offense Krijack.....i think what you said there is underselling yourself. I want the best for myself. the smartest, most attractive women i can find. Dont i deserve that? why do i have to settle.....? I will put it to any man who is unhappy....to not settle for ANYTHING!!! It just angers me when i see men just saying "oh well"


yes i realize most of you are married or taken...whcih makes this an interesting conversation.

but at the same time i wasnt just talking about women.

these days i have seen alot of men just settle...for this job.....for that women, for whatever reason.....for this lifestyle.....its like ... gosh...very frustrating.


my generation has it worse because of the way kids are gettign treated these days and the quality of the parents raising them


i was just venting...alot of it stems from the fact that i see alot of men ( some of my friends) settle for a women because they Crave that companionship.....or they feel alone. they settle because they just give up on meeting "the one" blehhhh makes me puke in my shorts.

have a nice day guys.

three kids!! you are an animal. write a book man! i would love to read it. anybody that can raise more than two is a legend in my mind

Do you have anything in a low-rise, mesh.........bikini if possible?

I think I just figured it out.
Merg is T.K.s illigitimate spawn!

"I reject your reality and substitute my own"

beautiful sig. my friend


if theres anything worth pondering and absorbing this line right here will change your life. saeems so inconsequential doesnt it???

i will tell you in life....you can convince...or do anything to anyone , anytime you want if you beleive what you believe....more than the other person.

"your in my reality now..."

i have boggled peoples minds with this. If you truly beleive this....it will come out in your behavoir. This is a powerful physcological tool. If you keep the frame of mind that your reality bubble surrounds you, and that any one that steps in it is in your reality.....wow.....i have seen and done some crazy things with this. you just smile and know that anyone in your bubble is subject to your reality.....whew...i get a boner just thinkin about it. thats how i have gotten every job i have had....every girl i have ever met ( in the last three years) all the cars i have ever bought ( many) every deal i have ever walked into. its absolutely amazing. i learned it from a physcologist. amoung other techniques and excercises .

Years, Years of beating the ...what?

LOL, great thread!

If this is going to be your lifes work you've got a great start.

Somehow I've gotten into the groove as board bachelor here, and I've had a fair amount of fun poking fun at myself along with the rest of these characters, trust me.....at 45 I'm thinking more along the lines of auntyM's way of thinking, a bit of frollicking fun inbetween fish trips, it's surely not that hard to get laid these days, just a matter of what your willing to give up to get it.....your time? your money? dare I say Self Respect..?? I live under no illusions that I will ever pull the pussy that you're getting....but trust me here, I aint dead yet...... and i don't fish every weekend!

I raised my kids (solo i might add), I really don't feel the need to go through it again, especially raising someone elses kids, and all those little chickadees that you keep us so posted on are great fun to look at....but that right there is a whole lot more trouble than most of us are looking for.

I'm not real sure what you're trying to sell here? My advice to you is, go out and have fun on your own terms and let the chips fall where they may, let the man in your pants run the show....for now, with time my guess is chasing down the chicks just maybe won't be quite the priority for you in a few years that it is now.

Keep on keepin' on Merg!

stam

i think i'll stick to that first stage right now!! haha i'm diggin it

The Merg's prowess with the ladies(and I use the term loosely) seems to be nothing more than ego stroking for himself... Be careful, the lure of easy women also has a consequence which you may or may not be prepared to deal with..Beware of dirty clams...

Merg,

I think Deangelo is described in "The Game." He was a student who became a top gamer and began teaching it.

Your strategy is right on for girls in your age group. By the time they're in their late 30s, with kids and divorced, what they're looking for in a man changes significantly. Those with any brains are no longer interested in jerks, or witty cocky funny guys like yourself. The brainless ones take longer to mature, not unexpectedly.

I just hope Merg gets this out of his system BEFORE he gets attached. If not, he will surely ruin some lives.

And Stam, I don't care what anybody says, you deserve only the best.

Merg, as you grow up you'll learn that, just as with fishing, the older you get quality becomes more important than quantity.

I've seen the pics you post of women and I haven't seen one I'd be remotely interested in. They all look like ditsy airheads who spend life in front of the mirror and hanging out with arrogant losers. Can't do anything because they might break a nail or mess their hair up. I can hear them now "as if" "it's like" "he drives a porsch" "ewwww" "awesome"......these women are why alcohol was invented.

Salmo G.


wow.....you are a very...very learned man. i would be interested just to go fishin one time with you or something. not many people get around to broadening their horizens to physcology and books that deal with physcological issues ( pertaining to men and women) and beyond.

if i remember right, you have a degree in a few things? besides life

not trying to sell anything. just trying to challenge other men to not settle for anything, beleive in yourself and what you do.


"Those with any brains are no longer interested in jerks, or witty cocky funny guys like yourself. The brainless ones take longer to mature, not unexpectedly.


hmmmm that is hard to determine. Deangelo....and ...hmmm cant recall his name ..wrote "the ellusive obvious" says that the character changes.....but the drives that drive us....do not. they just change a little. Deangelo interviews many men into their mid 30's that still are out doing it.

what they say is that it just takes a different approach, when you go for smarter more mature women you also have to step up. tone down. whatever. the issue being....are you acting like you? or decieving someone into thinking thats you?

True....i am not as successful with older women as i am with younger women. Being as i am high energy, intelligent, funny. i have only found one woman in my life that can compare. most peopel are just not that into life, adventerous, outgoing as i am. so obviously my field of women that i can narrow down to the "good ones' is a VERY small field indeed. i will say though that i have done it.....its harder and requires more of my time....and it requires me to act someone i am not.....but it can be done....and if i felt like acting "not me" i could date all the older smarter, fun women i want.


but not as successful. because anytime you dont act like you....people know it.....it just wont work as well. plays back into believing in what you beleive in more than the other person.


the thing about is ...besides it not beign the point of this post.....i dont worry about it...at all.... i dont really care. theres plenty of women out there....i have plenty of time. i can be as picky or as choosy as i want. what do i care how long it takes?? i have all the time in the world. I now have an AMAZING, gorgeous, fun, funny, spontaneous, straightforward, no nonsense kind of girl. one of a kind...in looks....in personality....in everything. I have never even come close to finding this kind of caliber of woman that is responsible, has values morals that she absolutely sticks to. is reasonable. but is still a sensitive women its awesome.

i dont think women are trouble at all. i think its all mindset, you have to be willing to comprimise but still stand up for what you beleive in and what your about. just be reasonable, and caring.


they are as much trouble as you let them. why would they be any less trouble then us men already get into? i think men are just a lot more selfish then women and its hard for them to sacrifice anything, or put themselves in other peoples shoes.

anyway. this conversation is awesome. Salmo G. i am still in a little bit awe of how broad your knowledge is.

hahahaha i never said that those were quality women. EVER. those words did not leave my mouth. You described them exactly as they really are. Thats why they are on those pictures. no girl i date is ever in pictures like that. hahaha thats not quality...thats quantity. meeting women worth your while is a lengthy process of weeding out all the thousands of daddy issue, insecure, stuck up, moronic, women. but.....men have jsut the same amount of stupid, selfish , buttholes, as women. hahahah its all in where your at in life....have you started to deal with the emotional issues you carry around? or are you still blaming everything on everyone else still?

Gee Merg, I didn't think anyone as self confident as you could be in awe of anyone, even yourself, given the way you come across on this internet BB. I think I gave you a bit of grief a while back for some of your hyperactive proclivities, meaning no harm really, but your internet persona is more hyper than the energizer bunny, hahahahahahaha. I get the feeling you're a pretty good kid, and VHawk seems to like you, and you probably are more worldly than most of your age group peers.

Yeah, at this point my degree in
