I have been spending way too much time just sitting thinking about just how much I love this game. Along with the way too much time that I already spend playing the game I am left with very little chance to do anything else. As such my work as suffered, and I've had my my tasks responsibilites severly curtailed. I think they are about to get rid of me in all honesty. I hate the job anyway, like eating but I'll get by somehow. That's not the problem.
Thing is I've spent so much time on this thing that I really don't know how to meet women anymore. Since my exfiance left me just more than two years ago I haven't had a date. Not by coincidence also about the same ammount of time that I've been playing eve, so don't go blaming this game for that failed attempt at marriage. So I never really got back into the game so to speak.
I tried going to bars with friends but I never was the type that could approach someone in a noisy place like that anyway.
I wanted to know if anyone in the forums had any advice about what I could do to meet women during these DB crashes? |

Cancel your subscription and take a reality check. If EvE is getting in the way of real life tasks, no matter how soul destroying it may be, then something is seriously wrong.
Just go out and have fun don't go out specificly to get a girl, if you do find someone just introduce yourself maybe offer to buy them a drink and act normal. ------------

You're asking a bunch of people on an Internet Spaceship online forum how to pickup chicks. That's like asking for dieting tips at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Any one working at a fast food restaurant will tell you not to eat there for obvious and not so obvious reasons

Please don't remind me of my tenure at my local Wendy's. I avoid that place due to the sheer fact that I know how they run. (Which is why I quit.)

Eve is quite a jealous girl...
...she doesn't like other loves besides her and wants all your attention all the time.
Face it!

You see, a girlfriend is a lot like Eve Online. She's high-maintenance, costs money, and usually doesn't do what you want anyways.

Biggest two tips I can give to someone wanting to pull:
1. Get a suntan. Doesnt matter how fat/skinny/normal you are, you always look better with a tan. You may already have one, but I'd guess you don't given the amount of time on EVE.
2. NEVER go out to pull. Go out to have a good time. Go out to have a laugh. And DO laugh.
I **** you not, I have seen this work countless times.
Chin up,
Steeley

If in Ireland, go to Sachs Hotel in Donnybrook. You should be able to pick up something in there. |

Gurls are overrated, they nick your money and hurt your ears. Just so you can have limited access to their soft and squishy bits.
Far better to stay in front of your computer and troll the Eve Online forums.

Personally I have no problems getting dates, my problem is actually the opposite.
Anyway, here are a few basic tips that will go a long way:
1. Ensure you are clean, wear clean clothes have a positive attitude and are well groomed.
2. Start some sort of physical activity, go to the gym, take long walks or whatever you think is fun. Getting in shape will improve your self esteem, your posture, your social status etc. The list of positive effects is almost endless.
3. Train your social skills by going out or attending social gatherings. By engaging in conversation with alot of different people in different situations you will soon find that you get better at it. As you get better at it you will relax more and your social status will improve. You will also learn to recognize the subtle signals women (and men) use when talking to you. This is a fact, body language, tone of voice and other subtle signals will tell you alot more then the spoken words.
4. Be relaxed, be yourself and go out to have fun! If you go out and really want to find a date you will appear try hard and desperate, that will lower your social status and make it harder for you to find a date. Be relaxed, be yourself, and always have fun as your primary objective. Women will notice this and it will be reflected in your body language, posture, how your talk to them etc. This in turn will raise your social status and dramatically improve your chances if finding a date.

What I find strange about the russian womem I have encountered is that they all have sick mothers. And that the treatment required to fix their mothers always costs $500. It's amazing, like they were making it up or something.
And Czech women too, except the medical fees are priced in euros, Ç500 to fix their mother's malaise.
