Good advice to base your life on... By: Mike
:stop:I bet you cannot argue any of the below. Try me! :stop:
----------
I've told many people this in real-life and they become intrigued. I hope this info is worth your while. I have yet to see anyone argue any of the tips below! I have based these facts from experience, and learned from them. I wrote this on my own without any help. I have my own little real-life experience that goes under each topic. This is common sense, but broken down into easy to understand examples. Well, hopefully my small collection of knowledge can inspire people: :glow:
----------
1.) Don't be scared or shy. I believe: "The worst enemy in this world is yourself." This means that only you can prevent you from accomplishing your goals and dreams. There are no excuses, no matter what. There is always an alternative to it, but when you work hard enough, you'll get there and know it was well worth the effort! Anyone can do what they want to do in life, they just do not put forth the effort. You may miss out on many opportunities in life if you let it pass by you. If you have even the slightest thought of doing something...do it. Nobody is holding you back but yourself.

My Experience: I've always wanted to start dancing, talk to girls, and be a very friendly guy. I always stood on the sidelines near the dance floor, would think they girls are "too good" for me, and didn't think people would like me. When I started doing just the opposite, and doing what I wanted to do, I was quite impressed with the results. It has given me more motivation and confidence than ever before! :applause:
----------
2.) Do what you want to do in life. Don't let anyone stand in your way. Who cares what others think? If you're having fun, that's all that matters! When you ignore jealous people, you feel better, because you don't notice it! In fact, they usually get more upset since they are not getting a response from you! If they don't like what you're doing, then they do not like you for who you are, or are jealous. Remember, a relationship is supposed to "add" to your life and not "take away" from it.

My Experience: I was dancing in a nightclub on a cruise ship I went on. Sometimes, there were only two to five other people on the floor with me...and once in a while, I was the only one! I came there to dance. I love dancing, and kept going. I had a great time, and was very energetic! I didn't care what others thought of me while I was the only one dancing. This is because I was in my own little "dancing" world, having fun, ignoring any people making fun of me.
----------
3.) Be yourself. There are many stereotypes about genders all the time. This is because many people have seen others perform such acts and base most of the time. Stand out. . Shine in your own unique way, so you can differ from the rest of the rumors and crowd. If you do, people will really notice you instead of what they are used to seeing in their everyday life.

My Experience: I love to cook. I can cook well, I know most guys who cannot. The more I'm outside of the house, the better. Many men I know personally don't do those two things. There is too much to do out there! I have chatted with a few girls recently and have usually found them surprised by the fact. There are many guys who can cook and are active, just by their reaction, I can tell they have rarely heard a guy who cooks and is active.
----------
4.) Listen, learn, and care what people are saying. Don't be stubborn and keep your old ways stuck in your routine. Why? You may enjoy it, such as the saying: "You never know unless you try it."

My Experience: A girl I spoke a few words with at a house party knew how to dance really well. I was never interested in it until I tried it. I felt great, was burning calories, and had a blast...all at the same time! :run:
----------
5.) There is a whole world out there. Whatever your interest is, the world contains it. For those people that said, "I will never get a girlfriend/boyfriend..." They are wrong. Those kinds of people are actually not looking hard enough. If they wanted a girlfriend/boyfriend, they would have one!

My Experience: I used to play video games, not stop. Even though they were entertaining, there are things out there in the world that are 100 times more fun! I went on a cruise ship for a vacation for a week. I didn't know how I would like it. I actually have the most fun while cruising, visiting other countries, etc. I also thought the thought of "I'll be single forever." I probably would of if I didn't do something about it and work hard! Work hard and it pays off in the end. Get up. Get out. Get going! :jumper:
----------
6.) If something small happens in life, brush it off your shoulder. An example is being rejected or breaking up with a boyfriend/girlfriend who did something horrible to you. An example is the following: "A guy walks up to a girl in a nightclub and starts talking to her. She rejects him for whatever reason. The guy walks away and then feels slightly down." Instead of focusing on the rejection part, focus on meeting someone else. Why? Because you came to the nightclub to meet people, and not have a sob story. The best example is that if your boyfriend/girlfriend is cheating on you, then you breakup with them, try not to take it so badly. I know that you put forth a lot of effort in your relationship, may feel betrayed, and thought you could trust him/her. Instead of thinking about it for too long, think of it as a blessing. Nobody wants someone that cheats, so here is another chance to get out there and find your ideal guy/girl!

My Experience: I have been rejected many times. Who hasn't? It's life, and everything is not perfect. I used to feel down when I would get rejected. Instead, its no problem to me. I did look like an "idiot" in their mind, but heck, it doesn't hurt to try! I have not been cheated on. I had a friend who did after seven years of dating him. My advice made her much happier! :yay:
----------
The whole point of this article I wrote is to let people know that they always have a bright future ahead of them, regardless of their situation. If you opened a treasure chest full of silver coins and there was one gold one, you would always notice the gold coin first and be interested in it more than the silver coins. This means, stand out, and shine your brightest! I used to be a video game addict, smoke, be inactive, and rarely got outside the house. Now, I rarely play video games, don't smoke, I work out, and always outside of the house any chance I get. I have turned a new leaf, and feel great about myself with confidence and high self-esteem. I also am independent, work full-time with a small income, attend college part-time, and still have plenty of time to do all the fun stuff! I can cook, I clean, I'm tidy, I'm active, and have a positive outlook on life. If I can do it, why can't you?

:bye:I live by these basic rules everyday. I feel happy, even though I'm single. Live life. :bye:

Thanks! :)

Hey there everyone! Since I'm on my phone now and not near a computer to upload new photos, I have managed to update my profile info based on how I act/feel. Ill update my photos later with more recent ones a bit later. I feel much more confident about myself than 3 months ago. I have talked to people such as friends and they tell me I really helped support them when they needed someone to talk to.

How is it?

PS: If you have any questions on anything with life or life issues, I'd be glad to answer them in a friendly, more unique way that you may expect!

I have probably emailed around 50 women..and roughly 3 replies. This other dating site I am on tells you if they read, deleted, or did not read the message you send. I get a lot of women reading the message, view my profile, then delete the message.

Harsh, but I keep trying. The forums is a good way to meet people...to an extent. I have seen nobody on the forums even remotely close to me. Its good to have online friends, though.

Do I qualify, even though I look 30?

How do I sign up for the club?

Lol, kidding. =P

My name is Mike, I live in Palmdale, CA.

So how do I start this up?


...oh yeah...hello under 30 forum!

Welcome to Mingle2.


Yo..yo..check it..

Welcome to Mingle2
We all know you're new
This is the coolest dating place
Yes, sir, that is the case
Once again, my dear friend
Welcome to Mingle2
The proud and the few

There is a Hooked oh Phonics I still have I my closet. I would be more than happy to send it to you. =)

Capslock key is cruise control for the original poster.
I think you meant the word "advantage."

Anyway, you (and many other people) gotta be smart about it. Just be careful. Maybe even carry a can of pepper spray if you're unsure. I really don't get why people do that.

I'm not a creep. Never have, never will.

Glasses? Yes, most of the time.

In my opinion, for some people, it can really bring out their great facial features. =)

Fear of my things being stolen. I have worked very hard for them. These things are like my computer, car, cell phone, etc.

I don't care, because I have full benefits: PPO medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability...oh ...and 401K.

I do have the above things, but I wonder why America's health system doesn't work like Canada?

Just wondering what peopke typically use for a cell phone, what plan, and how much you pay for it each month. Here is mine, I will start.

Phone: G1 (Google phone)
Provider: T-Mobile
Monthly Bill: ~$86.00
Details: Unlimited text, minutes, internet. When you call my phone, instead of it ringing you get "Rick (Youtube it if you don't know what it is.)

...your turn!

The humor is my mom was pretty much forced to do a semi-evil deed to a cute, fluffy, harmless rodent. =)

My mom was driving down a two-lane freeway. (A rural area) She was driving through the desert on a hot day, and there was no traffic. She also had a lot of speeding tickets, so if she got one more, she would have to go to driving school. All of a sudden, a cop is driving behind my mom. The cop didn't have the sirens on, he was just driving. A rabbit starts running across the road, at full speed. My mom didn't want to swerve and possibly getting a ticket, so she kept driving. Unfortunately, the rabbit became roadkill. All my mom heard from her car was "ba-boom, ba-boom!" (Tires going over the rabbit) my mom felt bad, but I laugh about it and give her a hard time about it!


Funny or no? (Slightly messed up but I just invision the rabbit screaming "I can do it!" And thrn...failure, lol)

In a nutshell, you should have:

More pictures that have smiles in them! Also some pictures in other places (parties, school, vacations, etc)
More info on your interests, hobbies, your ideal first date, and future goals
No offense, but do your hair, look pretty for the camera

Hope this helps.

Yes. I think everyone has thought that before. =)

More info and pictures would be good. But I say no, because your profile pretty much equal to the people
that have no picture but a huge description.

You can do it, just take some time on it.

Austalian, British, or Russian is so HOT!

Armin is such a cool there name!

Welcome to the Mingle2 lounge.

Have it your way!

(^_~)y

I want a girl that can play video games with me. =P

No, really...

...trust, respect, and someone who knows that a relationship is not one-sided.
