Just gotta keep it weird but not creepy weird.

For those unsure. Often the difference is the displayed confidence. If you're showing embarrassment or are unsure, it quickly becomes creepy. If you own it with confidence, then it projects "screw the norms, I'm good enough to ignore them", which is attractive to a lot of women.

The confidence doesn't have to be real either. The difference between fake and real is entirely in your own head. No-one can tell, unless you let them.

I was Shrek for Halloween and suddenly got a lot more attention so maybe I should be Shrek all the time?

Once picked a guy up at the bar by drawing him Nigel Thornberry on a napkin. Weird shit starts a conversation at least

What's the dating app controversy?

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

You're not supposed to go up to penguins in the antarctic. It's prohibited.

But you can do something goofy until they get curious and come over to see what's up.

This is the dating version of that.

Can confirm this approach works

Getfiscal still creating controversy on the internet since ~2009.
