1. stop talking about yourself. maybe its burnt into us from the time we are born that we are the center of the world, but its not the way to interact. you were fat once, its the past. its over. you seem overly obsessed with bettering yourself. that is good in some ways, but it also puts people off because you could be spending some of your energy listening to them or being a bud. just relax.

2. i liked Mondak's advice. you need to dirty up a bit, brother. you seem uptight and anal. no offense (hell i was worse!). stop living life on a schedule and being so hardcore. like in the matrix, stop trying to hit me and just hit me. you don't need plans, clubs, yada yada. you need mojo. quit working out so damn much! you know what that is? its masturbation for your ego.

3. learn to listen to people. im not just talking about listening to them as it relates to your own needs either. seems you are having a problem making friends and you need to address that before you can make a girlfriend. find a couple of grubby, obnoxious bastards and go to a strip club together. nothing brings men together like tits and ass- tell me you won't have something to talk about? find guys who you might otherwise dislike, distrust, or have absolutely nothing in common with and then just do it. some of my best college buds were people i had nothing in common with at all. you will learn a lot from these guys and you will have fun being a young man.

4. never, ever talk about yourself to women. at least not until you are in a relationship. it will turn them off because you are trying too damn hard. just listen and ask questions about their lives. otherwise you might hear that they complained to someone, "all he did was talk about himself". (hey, ive heard this one)

5. drink. yep, i agree with Mondak. uptight people need to drink or get put on paxil. go out with the guys, get messed up and have a ball. then you won't need to be drunk to have something to say to them (but it still helps). when you find a group of fun guys, the ladies naturally will follow. it was funny, the ugliest guy i knew back in college (my best bud, looked like a train ran over him 3 times) had a way of bringing me all the ladies. he had a way with women, but they just weren't attracted to him. he would be like my ice-breaker and lots of times id get a date through him. god i love that guy

good luck bud- and move out of your parent's house ASAP.

Just wanted to say that I support almost everything he said. Go for it!
