Like Chao collector.

You're not one to talk.

I'm Chaclon. The world's fastest Chao


Chaclon ID:018817 2008/01/15 19:56:15
I am kinda new, but I have been here quite a while now, like a few months.

By the way, I've a small problem. Wonder if you could help. I'm a very shy person, and I can't stand up to anyone, and there's this girl that thinks she's all it. To me she looks like a Ratgirl. She whispers about me... She has a fat friend too.

Its like, I'm Knuckles and She's Rouge. Except I can't stand up to her. What can I do?

Well Chaclon chalcon chocolatewhatever

Here's the thing. you have to be patient and observant in order to really burn someone. You have to learn as much about your subject as possible to royally bone them.

Not like internet insults.

Everyone has a chink in their armor, wether it's a seemingly meaningless feature about them that if exploited could send them into a corner, or if it's a deficiency they have, or perhaps something of a more personal nature.

To boil your lobster friend, you need to find those details. Little things. That's the key to all battle, to find your enemies weaknesses, and exploit them.

Don't make fat jokes at a fatty, because they've probably heard them all before (unless you do it right, and with enough neutrals watching).


By neutrals, I mean someone who can be swayed from one side to an insult-fest or another if you get a few good disemboweling words in. If you can get the world to crumble arround them, then not only are they weak-minded, but probably deserve it.

I've been both on the recieving and delivering end of this, and it is a real killer.

Footnotes.

1) Observe patiently for weaknesses. They must be solid. No guess work.

2) Rehearse those insults untill you're certain there's no flaw that would allow them to turn it on you and make you look the fool.

3) ake sure you have an audience of either peers, or general public. This is key to utter humiliation.


If you're not looking for such a cruel response to this, then simply smile whenever she offends you, smile at her as though you had some big secret that made everything she did seem meaningless and pointless. And when asked why you don't retaliate, simply state, "Why bother? It's a juvenile game, for simple minded and easily amused chimps."
Or something along those lines. Also note, the more people that hear you say that, the better. But you have to be calm, and say it with a straight face, or a halfhearted smirk.

The real trick. . .


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/15 21:56:28
Is not to let it bother you. The moment you get flustered or stuck, they've got you. Always maintain your composure. In the long run, you earn more respect for not playing the game, unless you want to be an asshole. I picked that route, and it suits me just fine. But some people need friends.

Go figure.

Playing the queen bee is a recipe for disaster...


Gigazubyte ID:015441 2008/01/16 00:47:35
but eventually, you WILL run into somebody who's better at it than you are, and you will get burned. Payback's a bitch, and at that point you aren't likely to have anybody to back you up when you've been tearing people down. Even if you never meet anybody like that, you wind up spending so much time obsessing on covering your weak points and ferreting out those of others that you don't have time to just enjoy anything else. A good defense is nice, but in the end the person with no need for a defense at all is much happier than the one inside a fortress.

Ahem. . .


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/16 01:41:36
"In the long run, you earn more respect for not playing the game"

Basically what you just said.

And I don't have any weaknesses to ferret out >_<


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/16 01:44:44
Because none of my faults really bother me enough to be used against me.
Mostly due to the fact that I don't care what the majority thinks of me. If I did, I'd be whining about everything.

Know and accept your own faults :P

Want me to list them?


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/16 01:46:37
If it interests you, i'd do so, but i'm not in the mindset to contemplate it at this point in time. maybe i'd do so if someone showed an interest. But since they can't really be exploited, there's not much point.

But you've admitted there are things that upset you...


Gigazubyte ID:015441 2008/01/16 04:16:58
And getting disowned sent you on a pretty impressive drinking binge. Not all weaknesses are self image issues.

Re: But you've admitted there are things that upset you...


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/16 06:04:16
Ahh, you misunderstand. the binge was manditory. it had little to do with the family issues, which i've cleared up by "playing queen bee" on them.

I pointed out the absolute idiocy of the actions that had transpired, and my older brother came to my place, gave me a big hug, kissed my cheek (I don't get that. it was creepy)
and stated "Your big brother's an asshole"
I responded "Well i've known that since i was 4 and you whipped me head first into the laundry post"
That seemed to be the end of it.
Once they understood what assholes they were being, it all mellowed. As for that binge, I always get sloshed for the hollidays. I hate the holliday season.

Laundry post?


Gigazubyte ID:015441 2008/01/16 08:51:32

Re: Laundry post?


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/17 07:18:09
A post holding a laundry line. for drying clothes outside. Not everyone used dryers where I came from. Sunshine does the trick real nice.

Oh. We just attach lines to trees.


Gigazubyte ID:015441 2008/01/17 07:38:15

Whispers about you? So? Just ignore her...


Gigazubyte ID:015441 2008/01/16 00:40:12
I found that staying out of the gossip loop served me just fine.

One thing that may work just as well.


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/16 02:08:26
If she's always whispering about you, walk up to her and her friends and say this,
"Look. . . I'm sorry that I didn't want to go out with you, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to sit there and get flustered while you're whispering to your friends. I don't care what you're saying, and I don't care what you're trying to prove. To talk about someone behind their back just because they won't date you is petty, and childish. I just thought i'd let you know"


That generally works for whisperers.
>:D

If that's what they're whispering about.


Gigazubyte ID:015441 2008/01/16 03:44:47

Re: If that's what they're whispering about.


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/16 06:06:03
If she's whispering about him and laughing while they're looking at him, it's a safe bet. I dislike people who play games like that.

Yeah, but people are often paranoid and assume something is about them when it's not...


Gigazubyte ID:015441 2008/01/16 08:53:04
And think about it, won't you feel dumb if they're whispering because your hair happens to be a mess or something and they were debating how best to break it to you?

Never been in that situation.


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/17 07:24:14
Even when my hair was shoulder length and untrimmed (bangs flopped over my face(which is horrible since i have curly hair naturally)) the girls still didn't pay much mind. I mean I talked with them and they giggled and whatnot. . . I never thought I was good looking or anything but girls always responded well to me. And when they did mention my hair being a rats nest. . . I simply said "So?" and left it at that. I think it's about how you interact.
Females are people, just like males. The only differences are intimate and subtle ones (aside the obvious cosmetic and biological differences).
Humans is humans and if you treat them just like you would a guy, then they probably wouldn't have problems telling you about your hair. :P


On a sub-note, I agree. . . To an extent.
Sometimes it's best to just ignore it, because it may be benign, or something completely different from what one thinks. However, would you piss and moan unless it was an ongoing thing?

I think Chac there's probably been dealing with it for a while now, otherwise he'd have dismissed it as a one time incident. If it's an ongoing thing, would you really bet money that they're just discussing how to break a bad hair day to him?

Treating them like a guy has never worked so well for me...


Gigazubyte ID:015441 2008/01/17 07:35:34
Except for rare exceptions, they generally don't take well to roughhousing. Also, some of them have a tendency to get mad and not tell me why. Most guys I know will punch me and call it even, and I don't have to spend a week wondering what I did wrong.

You're on the wrong level.


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/17 07:51:47
Roughhousing isn't in.
I've never been one to roughhouse, due to my intimidating height and build. Few people wanted to wrassel with a behemoth. And on a different note, if you did something to piss them off, just blow it off. If it's so important to you, bug them till they tell you, otherwise it's a waste of energy.

When i say treat them the same, I'm meaning don't sugar coat shit for them. Just act like you're talking to one of the guys. If they don't like it, then appearantly you and the guys are spewing too much testosterone arround having willy sword fights and whatnot.

When i talk to girls, i'm talking to people. When I talk to guys i'm talking to people. No hidden agendas, no underlying inuendo, no sugar coating, and no sparing someones feelings at the expense of fact.

I don't go arround armwrestling with the girls (though i have, and they weren't that strong but i did let them win, they felt left out when we were having tourneys so I just played along), but I don't treat them differently either.

Re: You're on the wrong level.


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/17 07:57:02
Can you tell if someone's treating you differently than others because you have a penis?

It's obvious that you can.

So can a girl tell you're treating her a certain way because of a lack of one.

I'm not trying to isolate them from the collective for reasons of any kind.
I do believe that's why they responded so well to me. I was the only guy -not- trying to get their panties off.

So you ask your guy friends about the hood of your scion too?


Gigazubyte ID:015441 2008/01/17 08:11:47

If they ask about my penis, sure.


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/17 08:27:10

It was all a joke anyhow, so why not?


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/17 08:28:46
I'd probably say the same thing to my sister-in-law if she asked about my wanger.
If anyone actually accepted i'd elabourate that it was a joke.

As far as the net goes though. . .


®Prof. NohmNohmz™ ID:017807 2008/01/17 09:24:52
It's harder to discern my lude sense of humor from advances on someone. You'd have to know me in person.
