I have always been a pretty nice guy, and as you know, nice guys don't get women. I have always been social, had a lot of friends, etc. but also been reserved, especially around women.

While I was living at college, it was the same old deal. I was mates with most of the guys there that I felt were worth being friends with (our 'dorm' - in Australia it is a slightly different system to the US - had around 330 people). I was also friends with a smaller group of women, but not as close to them. And then I had a group of my best friend with whom I always hung out. Anyway, I was always friendly and sociable, but I didn't initiate a lot of interaction with new people, it was usually started by them.

Now one night, near the end of my second year, there was a large party. At this party, one of the girls from the dorm came and started talking to me. I don't like to be unkind, but basically she is one of the last women I would have chosen to talk to, but she did give me some valuable insight. It turns out we have a mutual friend. This friend had told her that I was actually a good bloke. This is where the story gets more interesting.

It turns out that this girl and her friends had previously had a nickname for me. The 'axe-murderer.' What had I ever done to deserve such a cognomen? In my mind at that time, I had done nothing. If you asked my friends, I was one of the nicest guys they knew.

However, upon reflection, I know more. Granted, I had a goatee and very short hair (shaved with #3 clippers) and do have a face that can look a bit threatening at times. However, I didn't dress in anything to suggest this attitude, I didn't have tattoos or any piercings and I was a friendly guy.

But I didn't smile at them, I probably didn't smile enough in general. I didn't make small talk with them. I didn't walk up to them at parties and introduce myself. In general, I stuck to the friends I had and didn't make it obvious to strangers that I was a nice guy. So what happened? I still had other guys initiate conversations with me, but not many women. I know that these women in particular were afraid of me, and possibly so were others.

So, I guess the point that I am trying to make is:

People don't know you the way you know yourself, your appearance and actions speak volumes. I thought at times that I was just taking it easy, being friendly and cool. These women found me threatening and referred to me as the axe-murderer. I can assure you that I am not axe-murderer material. I just wasn't outwardly displaying my good mood or friendly intentions. Do as so much advice tells you, smile.

LOL You could have wacked her right then for revealing your true identity right then... HAHAHA!! Damn funny. I guess my nickname must the "The Butcher"... because of my (ahem) round shape.

Could have been good for some serious mystery factor!

Ok, Since I have been doing a *LOT* of drinking today (and still am) I am going to give you young-uns' a tip. Listen closely.

Skinny girls NEVER give good head. If you want GREAT head, always find a fat chick. I'm not talking whale size here, I'm talking about a chick a few pounds overweight. You may think I am crazy, but I am telling you the truth. Skinny girls don't know how to give good head, although you can teach them how to do it decently, the heavier girls know how to do it right. Yes, in case anyone is asking, I have had both. In my experience, the skinnier chicks just lack enthusiasm, and are just trying to "get it over with".

Of course in this case, if it had ONLY been her weight that was a problem, then maybe your tip would be a good one.

Girls are VERY easily scared creatures. I made the mistake a long time ago of memorizing a girl's phone number I liked instead of asking her for it and she accused me of stalking her. I wasn't stalking her, I was just too nervous to ask for her number[Now I know better].

P>S>I don't think I could EVER have a fat chick go down on me [I gotta be attracted to her].......Eeeewwwwww just thinking about it gives me a reverse erection ;p
