Good ways to play the sympathy angle to get a gal

[knapplc]

Dude, you pretty much yadda yadda yadda'd the best part of the story.

Did it get you laid?.

You guys are are way too blunt, and too anxious to jump right to the juicy parts. I guess it's a by product of the IM culture.

A good story has a good preamble.

Plus valor requires that I use some discretion, and leave a little of this story to your imagination (and my memory). After all, Jenny may very well be lurking on these boards somewhere . . .

Err.... yeah.

Methinks this is beginning to remind me of some other threads you've started here. Glad I caught this one early.

H**l I figured there'd be pics.

Are you sure it wasn't twins but you only saw one because of the eyepatch? Or that you left both eyepatches on and ended up making out with your roommate?

FWIW, the stubble on "her" chin should have tipped you off.

Haha interesting story. I can't say I use the sympathy card too much. It just seems weak and amateurish to me.

Every time I hear the name Jenny I think....
"I may not be a smart man but I know what love is."

The real question is did he keep his eye patches on while he was doing the dirty dance.

Thats what I want to know.

maybe Jenny wasnt as cute as he said she was

I think thats a safe quote, I'd second it also

I've played the sympathy angle completely unintentionally though...and you don't have to act like a wuss.

Within the last year and a half I was diagnosed with a pretty severe heart disorder and had to have a defibrillator put in my chest...I'm doing fine now and they said it shouldn't shorten my lifespan (although I can't do certain sports activities anymore, which really sucks...could be a lot worse though. )...but I'm on 100mg of toprol to regulate my heartrate...unfortunately it also has a side effect of lowering blood pressure and getting me light-headed.

On a side note, if you think there's something not quite right with your body...go to the doctor...don't wait...especially if it has something to do with your heart...it could save your life.

So to get to the sympathy angle stuff...I am a bit stubborn when it comes to this disorder I have. The first time my defibrillator went off, I was playing basketball. The thing literally knocked me off my feet...and it didn't feel too great either...but I kept playing, just not running quite as hard...and the thing knocked me down two more times...so I stopped.

But when I talk about that story, it similarly makes the ladies want to take care of me...it's kind of funny...you can hear the tone of their voice change, their brow scrunges up a little, and they get this concerned/nurturing look on their face...they just want to take care of me. And most are quite attractive...anyways, apparently you can also play the sympathy angle by making stupid decisions that may endanger your life...

Same thing goes with the side-effects of the meds...if I stoop down and stand up too fast, I can come really close to losing consciousness...so I just take a knee reallly quick and try to get my bearings. Often someone will ask if I'm ok, and I say "yes, I'm fine"...but again...they go into this nurturing/care-giving mode...it's actually useful to find out who would probably be a good mom...I don't need the pampering, but I want someone who's going to help take care of my kids (when I have them).

Good anecdote Spodog...you truly have a way with women...and with simple narrative.

I really can't believe spodog posted another thread about girl advice. First he's asking it, now he's giving it. Somebody made a post involving a hand+Hawaiian Tropic sun tan lotion=the hawaiian beauty he was talking about in the other thread. That was gold.

I"ve found a great way to get women is to find a group of them that seem chatty, drop in a random open-ended story or comment, and then sit back and watch them all kick it around...
