Agreed about the feminist stuff. Not to say we have to walk around with our heads in the clouds, but avoiding the influx of negativity out there would benefit all. Part of that avoidance might have something to do with my line of work in the Emergency Room. You start appreciating things you have...your health, your mind, hell your life and body parts after a short time in that field. After 9 years I have no doubt seeing the worst of people has had some influence, but like all things, you can turn that into a positive.
MikeCF and McQueen have a lot to say about being positive. I never realized the full implication of that until moving back to the States a year ago. I think my success over there had more to do with my positive attitude than anything. The women were "different", living abroad was exciting, learning the gaming ropes from my friend, and having a strong social circle made me optimistic about many things. Conversely I think a number of negative observations and experiences from the first 2 weeks in my current city led to less bangs, at least when it came to club/bar game. Rejections are fine...price of the game, but nasty attitude/argumentative and bitch behavior left a sour taste, that took a while to remedy. I won't go into the details, but for the first time in my life I even had a physical altercation with an americunt over a few words. And I'd describe myself as being friendly and chill, but as a few others have mentioned on here, sometimes you have to call these girls behavior out.
I'm curious if anyone else on here has experienced a negative vibe in a city, country, club, bar, etc that was difficult to shake?
Definitely something to be said as other pointed out for watching comedians...Daniel Tosh, Seinfeld, Robin Williams, to name a few.
@godofwar. Good observation. Compared to some of my friends, I'm more mellow and i know trying to imitate them would probably come off as try-hard and incongruent. Therefore I'd say having friends that give you that added boost will bring out YOUR gaming "sweet spot", and get you on point.
