Neat study though.

My nickname in certain circles is Stoneface. Make of that what you will.

Batman likes it when a good plan goes in to action!

I had two initial thoughts of this;

1) That is the creepiest smile I have ever seen on a super hero.

2) Do Poison Ivy, Selina Kyle, and Rachel Dawson know about this?

I smile all the time and I have never had any trouble forming relationships without too much duct tape.

Why so serious?

Wow so the typical unnattractive nerd Rape-face is attractive now? Study is stupid.

Locking eyes with a random girl and smiling takes balls. If they dont smile back you have been rejected.

I agree.

I once bumped into a woman on the street; I said "Hello Pretty, would you like to come to my house for an afternoon?"

I said it with a cheeky smile on my face, she said yes and we had an absolutely fantastic afternoon.

I still have no idea who she was.

I laugh and smile all the time.

The world is just too funny not to.

That's not a sad fact, it means you value you relationships and don't use people for sex.

I've not had any relationship of any kind, nor have I even had my first kiss, and whilst it can be a little annoying <insert 'forever alone' image here> to me it just means that I value these things to much to simply throw away...

...That and it's difficult to find someone who even acknowledges me in that way...

*sniff*

Read what Avatar said again, and take it to heart.
At the end of the day, guys who aren't arsebaskets win out eventually, no matter what kind of crap you hear on the 'net
about how 'chicks only dig bad guyz den whinge about em, waaaaaaaahnobodylovesme.'
People who say that are clearly not the nice guys they claim to be.

Protip: Don't take relationship advice from someone who doesn't have relationship experience. No offense Avatar, but you can value relationships and date lots of women.

Women like confident men: stand up straight, square your shoulders, and walk around like you expect the world to accomodate you. It usually will.

Just don't be completely oblivious to obvious signals women throw your way. Like when a girl says, loud enough for you to hear, "I'd totally go out with biccat if I ever broke up with my boyfriend," then dumps her boyfriend the next day, don't hesitate. Yeah, I was stupid about women in high school.

Edit: Protip #2: Don't take relationship advice from the internet.

A strange number of people have come to me for relationship advice lately (only about 2-3, but it's strange because I expected 0, seeing as they all knew I had <0 experience myself) and they seem to be doing fine.

Just sayin'

Protip #2.1: Don't take relationship advice from narcissistic tabletop wargaming forum members.

Women wants sex too. I fail to see the issue here. As long as you're not lying to anyone and not propagating viral crap, sex is a-okay.

And being a virgin doesn't make you a better or worse person. Not being a virgin because you're afraid is bad because fear is a terrible motivator regardless of cause, but that doesn't mean you should be in a mega rush either. I'd say when the opportunity comes up go for it unless you have a good reason not to.

Protip #Omega: Always listen to Cannerus.

Indeed, Protip #Omega always takes precedence.

Protip #OmegaPhi Take advice from a known internet sex fiend at own risk

Friend. He meant friend, take his advice!

Always take advice from your local internet sex friend...

...yeah that doesn't sound quite right...

I doubt that

I think if you have an internet sex friend, your already heading in the right direction

Dude, you're 17. You're doing better than most.

Oh jeez, this is turning into the "Im a virgin" thread again. This happens every now and then

I'm not.

Here we go....

Just wanted to disrupt the flow of "I'm a virgin" posts

I think you and I are bad influences in the OT. How many times can we go OT in threads in a week

Chicks don't dig anything, women like things that the woman in question likes.

No, women are attracted to strong, dominant men.
Smiling is reserved as a reward for a job well done ;D

Well, if it works for them, then cool. When you're older you'll find out that high school kids don't know gak about gak, so you should take their advice for what it's worth. After discounting them, you look for someone with experience in whatever problem you're having.

I will keep that in mind if I ever come across any.

Damn. That was funny!

I smile all the time, among friends. In public I usually try and keep up the "don't feth with me" look just to distance myself. Of course I'm married and have all the woman I could ever need.

Maybe we should stay in the pit.

I already know most high school kids are brainless, I left that crap hole almost 3 years ago and a lot of them have gone to Uni with the same childish mindset they had during high school, so I don't ask the vast majority of them for advice, just one person who has been my best friend (and pretty much only true friend during high school) for years, but I don't tend to ask him for relationship advice now i've matured a bit and realised half the stuff I asked years ago was, quite simply, moronic.

As for the people that asked me, they aren't in high school either; one is in his early twenties, the other is in her early-mid twenties (and apparently what I said had been essentially what her family and more experienced people had told her, so I must've been saying something right); I swear another person asked, but I can't remember, so feth it. Yes, they're still reasonably young, but for the latter person at least it was advice on a relationship that was planned to actually go somewhere, none of this "You want to see a movie?" "Sure!" crap, but actual move-in-get-married-and-start-a-family stuff. It's probably the exception that proves the rule in terms of taking advice from people without experience, but hell, a good lot of relationship advice experienced people give is pure common sense to begin with.

I'm not saying that i'm the God of relationship advice (that's Cannerus' job), nor am I trying to say that i'm not clueless, so I should be listened to; i'm just saying that I seem to either be giving reasonable advice in the two cases i've come across, or that i've been extremely lucky, so YMMV.

Disclaimer: Don't ask me for advice, it may or may not be BS, but err on the side of caution, and ask Cannerus.

Well, good for you. And I really do believe you gave some good relationship advice. Given the age range we're talking about, most people's questions about relationship advice is "should I do this stupid thing," to which the proper response is "no, don't do that stupid thing."

However, you're probably the exception rather than the rule. In general, my advise is to not take advice from someone unless they've tried and failed.

Then again, Catholics require that you talk to a priest before getting married, and lots of child psychologists are childless themselves.
