she was probably playing what she was gonna say out in her head and probably is interested in you

[Nigga{e} !EMraGAEm42 No.8882262]

I get lot of compliments from girls, some times i caught them mirim, sometimes they come up and tell me. My general answer is "thanks i appresiate that".

being black and effay is the best thing, since you got no competence, and it's rare to find a black effay guy

[Anonymous No.8882266]

>>8882253
maybe
she has been acting weird for the past 4 weeks

>>8882373
you were doing good till Ayn rand, what the fuck lol
also your principle of not taking advice from strangers also applies to (shitty) books

op my two cents are to just complement them back. find something you like about her outfit or hair or whatever and let her know about it. if you dont want the focus on you, redirect it positively. being able to take a compliment humbly yet confidently is a skill that usually involves reciprocating. even if your thought process is "this outfit isnt even that good I dont deserve a compliment" youre still being self centered and most people won't stay interested in that kind of false modesty for long. being humble means realizing you deserved the compliment and that they have something worth complimenting too.

and dont feel pressured to keep the conversation going. if you force it youre going to feel awkward and probably fuck up. be ok with silence and let the convo flow naturally

the girl is obviously into you anon, this should be real easy. I assume you're in hike school. Can you drive to take her somewhere?

Seek HER out, and ask her if she wants to get coffee with you. Flat out. You'll never be able to do it if you wait for the next time she says something to you. All you gotta do is go up to her and say, "Hey. I was wonderin if you want to get coffee with me.". If you're shy by nature, it's okay to sound shy when you say it, so long as you smile a little. Play off of your personality.

I've done this type of thing in the past. I'm shy by nature, so I'll embrace it and act shy in a cute way. Just say it clearly, and slower is better than faster. If you start to get really nervous, just smile. Even if you look at the ground or something, it's better than a straight face. Nervousness with a smile is cute. Nervousness without, is awkward. Practice it to yourself aloud before you do it.

At this point she will definitely say "shurrereer", cause she's obv into you.

If for some reason she hesitates, or gets shy herself, just say, "..or are you not single?", and smile when you do. This will give her an out if she wants to turn you down, but doesn't want to hurt your feelings.

She'll say yes, it'll be no big deal, then you'll pry fall in love and live /fa/ ever after.

>implying you sperglords get compliments

You crackas tend to make fun of MFA and "dadcore" and even though I don't like those either, you'll get much further in life looking like that than rocking your finest goofninja pieces. Because face it: if you are not an artist or in the fashion industry etc. then you're NOT bout that life and you can't pull off full Rick.


The problem with you guys is that you go overboard with this shit. See, a Rick leather jacket or a pair of Ramones alone can pimp a fit and not look outta place. Full on Rick on the other hand just looks fucking abysmal. But somehow that seems the ideal for (a vocal minority of?) /fa/ so it's no wonder you guys have no idea how to properly present yourselves in public.

I know what I'm talking bout, have been rocking monochrome goof for so long and was, despite being a social and outgoing person, always the weird guy to everyone. Zero friends. When I started dressing like a sane adult all of the sudden I became the alpha male, had pussy all over my dick, lots of new friends and all that.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

Objectivism is what edgy suburban white kids who are too ratfuck stupid for even babby's first philosopher Nietzsche read.

There is a reason Ayn Rand never became a philosopher or economist like she so desperately wanted to be, and a reason she is never taken seriously by anyone in those fields, and became a shitty manchildren's writer instead and this is reflected in the type of people who read her.

Ayn Rand is fine. All she did wrong was romanticize entrepreneurs as all being good people who want to make good products in a responsible way. Instead they all make shitty products in an irresponsible way that fall apart in a year because they're pieces of shit so you can buy a new one.

But she is right about the standard of living increasing thanks to rampant capitalism. Even poor people have a TV and a refrigerator.

everyone at my uni dresses like complete fucking garbage and im in somewhat of a flyover state so you can assume the worse. ie: cargo shorts in winter, boat shoes, polos etc. i was pretty surprised since i wasnt even that happy with the fit, but she complimented my whole style which consist of
milsurp jackets, rain tech jackets(arcteryx rei), clark boots some new balance and other shit. normally black/dark jeans.

Here is how you handle compliments,

Ignore the compliment, treat it as an invitation to talk and flirt. If someone complimented you, they aren't looking for gratefulness, they are looking for your attention.

However this only applies if they are potentially interested in you, if someone is just complementing (another /fa/g then just say thanks and say a few things about your fit.
