    People underestimate their own attractiveness and overrate others’. People are attracted to different things. You may think you’re ugly for X but someone thinks you’re attractive for Y. They might not care about X. Even apart from that, there are things people want in a partner that have nothing to do with looks.

    I can see shaggy being a total hit with goth girls. He’s got lots of spooky stories and he brings snacks. What’s not to like?

      They’re not posing to get their picture taken, Shaggy just appeared there, and she was instantly paralyzed

    One review of Multiversus mentioned “I never thought I would describe Shaggy as one of the most powerful shoto charachters, but that seems to be the case”.

    Sometimes extreme low self-esteem can lead you to give up on “scoring” so you start talking to beautiful people with no hang ups. It’s not like you have a chance, right? Might as well enjoy their company, even if it’s just for friends. Suddenly you realize you have tons in common and you like their company. You hang out together every day. They are such a good friend. Then one day they say “hey”, look at you straight in the eyes, and kiss you.

    We’ve been together for thirty years last August.

      I agree with this. I had this gorgeous friend that I never once tried making a move on our flirting with, cause she was way out of my league. We got to hanging out alone a lot and I would never do anything but just act like a normal, non horny person for once. All of a sudden she’s kissing me. Like wtf?! Good times.

        That’s why I always tell people to stop ‘looking’, that’s just desperate and off-putting. Friendships will turn into relationships if its meant to be.

            Make the move! You’ll know and they’ll know when the moment is right, but don’t rush it!

              I’m glad I’m not searching for romantic advice in this thread because if I were I’d be so confused.

              Should I search for a friendship instead of a relationship? Should I make a move? Should I make a move on my friends?!

              How so? I’m not “looking” at all. I’m just seeing my friends once in a while and occasionally making new friends. Outside of that I’m just focusing on my studies. I’ve stopped caring about dating for a long time. Of course that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped wishing to meet someone.

            That’s the thing, it will work 100% guaranteed. As long as you’re open to new friendships. Will the first person fall in love with you? Probably not. The second? Also probably not. That’s the beauty of it, you’ll either have an SO or a ton of friends, and having a friend of the opposite gender is like wingman paradise.

              Yeah well I already have a ton of friends. I just think you can’t claim it will work 100% for everyone, because you can’t prove that.

                You’re missing the point by like a mile, you have to be open to new ones. Relationships don’t just appear out of nowhere.

                  I am. I’m just saying it’s not because you got lucky that this will work out for everyone, so it’s not 100%

              No it won’t. I tried that for 30 years with no success.

              For some people, if you don’t put in effort you will not get any of those things.

                It will, maintaining friendships and especially new ones requires a lot of effort. I’m saying when you meet people you don’t think they’ll be your SO, but rather a new friend. That’s now an entirely different conversation, one which has a much more relaxed nature, increasing the chances of a potential relationship.

    Ya’ll better put some respect on my man’s name. Shaggy was a real one, even when he was scared. And he came with snacks.

    I’ve been the boyfriend in this situation with a hot goth chick. No idea what she saw in me.

        She moved on. I was young and stupid and she had better things to do than deal with an insecure loser like me. She had a really awesome black chevy nova with a license plate ‘SPOOKY1’ and one of the most awesome things we did was make a bleeding heart cake to impress her pretentious goth friends. A few years back though, she died from a heroin overdose, her Mom had reached out to me on facebook and we talked some, she was a nice lady. Ex-gf had apparently been having some issues in her life and had not-good influences that pushed her back into drugs. C’est la vie.

      Depends on what kind of imaging she was using. Did she ever rub Doritos dust on your belly?

    As a bitter short guy the first thing I saw was “yeah, he’s tall.”
