Took about a month break from here.. come back and he is still here trying to pick up girls..

Question...

What happened to just talking to the ladies and being yourself? Since when did trying to hook up with a gal become an event? Ever hear of letting it happen naturally? Just wow...

Here's why "just be yourself,"or JBY, is the WORST advice you could give to someone, from sosuave.com

JBY is the advice you're most likely to receive from someone who has no clue about how women, dating, and relationships work. It doesn't matter if that person is male or female, young or old, single or married — it's the stock relationship answer when one doesn't know or can't think of anything else to say but doesn't want to seem as clueless as he/she actually is... But what happens if you press them a little, ask for more details? Tell them that you've been "just being yourself" your entire life and it's pretty much gotten you nowhere at all with women. In fact, you haven't even had a date in 2 years. What about that? At this point they'll probably shovel you the stock follow-up answer — "You just have to be patient and eventually you'll meet someone who's right for you." Oh, and don't forget, "And if it doesn't work out between you and her, than it wasn't meant to be."
