I've put them on a pedestal, taken them off, put them below me, to the side, above, perpendicular, diagonal, every which way....for them the view is still the same, "What does this jerk want thinking I'll go out with him?"

That is hilarious. I know what you mean Miles.

I had looked into a couple groups/clubs/classes, but most require money (either to eat out at meetings or for classes or for supplies, etc.) which i dont really have right now. I did make friends with a couple at a dance club one night, but having 2 friends from coney island when i live in riverdale, doesnt really help me.
It just seems that the majority of people i meet and see have no interest in making friends or talking to anyone. I'm from upstate and i guess im pretty used to knowing about half of the people i see everywhere i go. I tend to feel really different from everyone around me, though im shy im also really silly and fun and happy go lucky but everyone i see (especially on the subway) has this grumpy i-hate-my-life expression. its weird.

and on top of this, two weeks after i moved, my boyfriend broke up with me, out of his "fear of moving to nyc" basically he said he didnt want to "spend half his day on the subway, get mugged and have to look at ghetto people all day." when i explained nyc is nothing like that he just argued with me. what a freaking *******... so i guess on that note... where do people find potential bf/gf material? especially when i work in fashion all i see are girls and gay men....sigh.

It's funny I didn't notice you had a pic up. So, with looks like yours the only problem you should have is keeping all the guys off you! Don't worry, sweetie, I predict you'll be making tons of friends in no time at all. If I were a guy, I'd be hitting on you as we speak!


* no wonder you weren't worried about your old BF breaking up with you. You go, girl!

Or if your bold enough, go up to her and spark a conversation.It's not that difficult.

i know its not that difficult. but i don't want to be a "salesman" about it. i hate how honesty never works and u have to walk around the lawn 569877565 times before setting foot in the door. some of us just don't have the capacity to let our conscience deviate too far from what each of us consider moral and honest. i understand but also look down on the guys who try to start a conversation with "ay bay bay."

looks is just an example. what i was saying was, whatever you feel confident about, you have to have the qualities to back it up. take sense of humor for example. you have to actually be funny to be confident about your sense of humor. few bad repetitive jokes doesn't cut it. that's just lame. if it's so easy, everyone would have a good sense of humor.

i sense Miles have a wonderful sense of humor from his quirky replies.

Know what you mean. Here I am, an honest guy/no hot chicks, to be exact, no chicks. Right now out there guys are lying like hell, whispering sweet nothings and somethings into the captive ears of easily swayed debutantes and getting to first base with hot chicks.

Tell me, somebody, is there no place in the new world order for honest, decent fellas? Must a fella be dishonest to snag a chick? Are we honest dudes doomed to forever be displaced in the race by glib, smooth-talking, fancy pants characters talking a good talk without substance and getting all the sexy women here in NYC?

Would you consider becoming an escort? Not only would you be compensated for your time, but you would be able to meet a lot of friends working in that capacity.

You are suggesting putting Caza in harm's way. So not cool.

[nyc_composer]

I wasn't suggesting anything. I simply asked a question and mentioned a couple of benefits. Like medicine or science, there are different areas a lady can pursue in the escorting field.

Mentioning that Caza would be in harm's way informs me that you may have preconceived notions about the line of work. Here's my explicit suggestion. Educate yourself and realize that the line of work is not for everybody, which is no different from any other type of employment, and there's a lot more to it than what you see on the television.
