As it has already been said: some girls do like geeks and geek humor very much! It is of course a matter of taste and personality... I got empirical evidence enough of it (luckily )
My last fiancée loved my geeky enthusiasm in fact, while not being always be interested in the object of geekiness!
(She would have heartly laughed at the original star wars line, and feel pleased more than a generical obvious one...)
And girls who likes geeks and geek humor would also very probably like self-confidence, smooth talking, tenderness, proper hygiene and care for what you look like as any other girl of course... Geeks lacking this are just a stereotype, and on the contrary a geeky attitude can be very useful here...! (Attention to detail and whatnot...)
And the stranger thing is: while being a geek can be adhorable for the right girls, while the above qualities will better your chances with more or less any girl and are not at all precluded to geek... these things are not at all necessary requirements to be loved! Not at all!
Anyone is worth of love for the right person... it's not just a fairy tale, it may sounds strange, but it really seem to work just like that
Not only do some women love geeky nerds, they ARE geeky nerds.
Like my. Sometimes, it's too much for my boyfriend...
It's true, though, that many women (including me) love to hear nice things.
Now back to something nice Guybrush could say to Elaine.
"You're more precious to me than even the biggest treasure a pirate could find."
In real life I never find people in general who are interested in adventure games, let alone women. The only people I know play them are people I recently convinced to start playing them.
"I find the most erotic part of a woman is the boobies"
Works. Every time.
If you're trying to scare them off, then yes, a line like that would work every time....
It's a Futurama reference. Zapp gives Kif a book of terrible pickup lines, like "I find the most erotic part of a woman is the boobies", and "If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you take off your clothes and dance around a little?"
Haha, oh wow, Scapetti. That image will haunt my sleep for many many years to come.
I can just imagine the dialog choices.
1. Come here and unlock my chest, plunder bunny.
2. I've searched for years to find some booty like that.
3. Let me put my arms around you and make some Big Whoopy.
4. I've got a three-headed monkey in my pocket and he needs to breathe.
5. I'll make love like a dairy farmer if you'll make love like a cow.
It's a Futurama reference. Zapp gives Kif a book of terrible pickup lines, like "I find the most erotic part of a woman is the boobies", and "If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you take off your clothes and dance around a little?"
I know. It's a real shock that Zapp Brannigan can get anywhere near a woman.
It's like I suceed then blow it again. She wanted to take things to a new level and I wasn't ready and you all know how I act and the things I say about that level ... she seemed to have lost some interest now and I don't know what to do . I am just a little nervous I guess I shouldn't be I guess I should just say ok let's do it ...I did the exact opposite of what I wanted to do and say .
ROFL... @Scapetti: How did you make this picture? @Secret Fawful: ... LOL. Number 2 might work. It's getting warmer...
"Unlock my chest" is very funny, too.
Guys, this is TELLTALE GAMES and MONKEY ISLAND... I don't think dialogs like that would feel right in a MI game.
There ARE games with dialog choices like that, I would lie if I told you I didn't enjoy them (I have to say that the female character could say things to a male character).
But as I said, this is MONKEY ISLAND and not an RPG with romance options.
Well there is a moment in Monkey Island 2 where Guybrush is lying down (by the big tree with the bone song). I just stuck that onto Elaine's bed and added a quick animation to Guybrush's hand
I tought women my age like a nice guy she offered me the big one and I turn her down and then it's all gone down the tubes. I don't think she respects me anymore .

Doodo, this is probably not the proper forum, but I think you need a few words.
I'm not a professional adviser, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt...
Maybe you were just not ready yourself, or maybe it was just a misunderstanding originated by your respect for her (being a "nice guy"), inexperience AND ALSO the simple fact that it's not so easy at all knowing exactly what another person thinks and wishes.
That's nothing wrong with either two! Misunderstanding and people fumbling communication, even when they care a lot for each other, happen all the time. And you're not supposed to read the other person's mind, you're both supposed to try together to work out an understanding of your feelings and needs and a proper and satisfying way to intimacy. You're the man, you have roll first for initiative usually, so to say The "tactic details" of the thing are not exactly "equally shared", so to say, but nonetheless it's a thing that's done together by two persons. And don't worry to understand it all now... it takes a lifetime for anyone! And there are surely a lot of girls at your level of development, take it easy
So, FIRST of all, understand you don't need to feel guilty and wrong. Allow yourself to feel it, if it suits you in this moment, but understand you don't need because you aren't.
She's possibly (probably, I dare say) feeling refused, that can explain her distance! Talk to her, open to her, and express how you're feeling with the thing, and how much you care for her, how much you like her, and how much she's special for you, tell her about what you love of her. Be sincere with it and don't overdo If you're feeling like, do something special to show it (flowers are the classic that comes to mind, whatever, but if you can find something more specific for her, all the better).
Be prepared it will probably be complex, and it may take more that one time and one discussion.
BUT if she doesn't listen to you, or if she doesn't get it at all after a few attempts, be prepared to recognize that she's not the one, and move forward and find another one.
Because, SECOND: you deserve someone who cares for you enough to try to understand you and allow you to feel how you feel, and excuse some little quirks of yours, if you have any at all. That's very important. You're worth it, and somewhere there do is/are apt person/s.
She may not be her. She would be another one, that's ok. Don't be afraid of it (or, again, feel that way if it suits you, but know rationally you'll find your significant other). Or she may be the one after all, and you'll be surprised by how much she cares after you two find "your way together"
And while you're searching for that special her, or mending with the present one, THIRD: be the first to care for your yourself, to have love for yourself, to respect yourself, to allow yourself your feelings and needs. That's very very important!
Again, these are only my thoughts, which depends on my development! We are all struggling with it in a way or the other, you're not alone in the big mess of romance!!
I just got back from a party where everyone ignored and avoided me . My aunt slapped my ass and ...I sat in the back yard for like 3 hours listening to the neighbors radio. It's not that I don't try , it's just that I wasn't meant for this world , I don't even know if I was meant for this life. I just can't fit in , I've only ever had one girl friend and it did not last longer than a semester . The only place I can go to not be ignored or to have a conversation is on the internet . No one seems to understand my situation but I can tell no one gives a *beep* anyways . I'm fine the way I am , I don't want to play a victim card but life has certain aspects in it that need a certain amount of skills and quality . My life is very quiet , I'm still trying to get a job and I am 21 years old and just started looking for one. Family even closed off from me. I can't wait until college where I can meet new people and hang out with them and have a challange that I actually get to do.
"girl to me your like a diamond,i love the way you shine,a hundred million dollar treasure, i give the world to make you mine"
what do you girls think?
I'm not a girl, but I'm sure not many likes that. How would you feel if someone told you that? Awkward.
Like, we're only humans- it's simpler than that. Some people likes a compliment and it can really feel good if it's said just honestly and not in a cheesy way. I think a well timed "I like your smile" crushes stuff like "Oh, would thousand universes compare to your beauty blablabla". Just show a little bit of interest without saying like "I wanna do you right here" and it'll be fine. Talk, be happy and smile, show you're someone who enjoys life.
I remember telling a girl that I thought she were smart and she really got turned on by that since most other people just assumed she was beatiful and dumb so whatever.
it's just that when you feel a connection like that with someone you can take it for granted and think that you can go on feeling it without a person . You don't realize how special the way you feel is for that person is (how they make you feel inside , how alive and what you learn about life and how you learn to live it ) and that it can't survive without that person and then you can loose a large part of your heart and a sense of how to live .

Nah.
When you're young, you confuse infatuation with love. When things go wrong, you think that the way you're feeling is "special"; that you have lost a large part of your heart and a sense of how to live. You feel like nothing can ever be the same, that you'll never be happy again. The future seems bleak.
And then, after a while, you realise that you were wrong; you look back on the experience and think "Geez. What was wrong with me? It was no big deal."
Doodo, we've all been there. You're young, but you'll learn. Take it easy.
"girl to me your like a diamond,i love the way you shine,a hundred million dollar treasure, i give the world to make you mine"
what do you girls think?
I'm not a girl either but, honestly, that would be horrible.
You have to be specific and believable while making a compliment, you have to have her feeling special among all the others, your line is way too generic... the best compliment should be about something about her, something in which she can recognize herself and see how you appreciate specifically her.
And, hell, be sincere, usually a girl can smell a fake compliment a mile away...
I just got back from a party where everyone ignored and avoided me .
Mmmh, I've been there. ... And came out with a renew trust in my longtime friends
Maybe it's not they don't care, it's they don't know how to deal with you. People are often lost when dealing with depressed persons, especially in a situation like a party, which is supposed to be a moment for, well, partying and not intimate counseling.
It's sad and harsh because when you're depressed is exactly when you need people most, and feel you cannot cheer up by yourself, but it's the sad reality, it's a kind of vicious circle or virtuous circle: the most you relate and cheer to people, the most they relate and cheer to you, on the contrary the most you isolate yourself, the most they isolate you. Again, especially, in public situations.
People are just people, often it's not they don't care, it's they are not able. Or taken by their own issues which in a party they'd like to forget. It's a party.
If you go to a party or similar, you have to find by yourself the strength to stop the vicious circle and start the virtuous one. It's difficult but it's how it goes.
If you still can't start the virtuous circle in this moment, then a party is not the proper place, you should ask a friend time for a more intimate moment to talk between you too. Be polite, respect their time and their own issues, appreciate what you get, and you'll probably find someone to talk
It can't be that strangers care enough about you to stop and give advice on the internet, and your own friends don't, don't you think? Just try and ask for a proper moment.

Those are kind words, Goz. And Doodo, we're all glad you feel at home and accepted here, but don't give up on your friends, or love. Sounds like you got your heart broken and right now it's souring almost every aspect of your life. I feel for you man, but trust me when I say this kind of thing needs to be experienced at least once. Don't be afraid to face your misery, it's a testatment to love's exciting and terrifying power. So go ahead and wallow in it for a minute, listen to the Smiths, Leonard Cohen, watch the films of Wong Kar-Wai, whatever's meaningful to you and just bawl your eyes out for all it's worth. You'll reel yourself back in when the time is right, but first you gotta excorcize the demons. You mentioned in an earlier post that sometimes you feel as though you weren't meant for this world. On the contrary, the world needs more sensitive and soulful cats like you. Hang in there.

Yes, absolutely. To survive a depression people are often forced into introspection of themselves and understanding of the others and their relation, which mature them enough in this to become perfect to be part of the real backbone of the democracy, being strong both with their individuality and with care for the others.
They may not be themselves the happiest persons on the earth or the neighborhood (idiots are, usually), but they can be integral to make earth or the neighborhood a place a little happier to everyone... and have their good share of it
How about this saying this
"girl to me your like a diamond,i love the way you shine,a hundred million dollar treasure, i give the world to make you mine"
what do you girls think?
It might be a little bit too much for most people, but if someone wrote a poem like that for me, I'd think 'how cute'. Call me... whatever, but I like it.
It might be a little bit too much for most people, but if someone wrote a poem like that for me, I'd think 'how cute'. Call me... whatever, but I like it.
Oh. So then we have probably been too hard to Wolfstar27
But, let me guess: what you would appreciate would be the dedication to you, the effort... more than the content. Am I right?
Wouldn't it so much more flattering if it included something about you?
I mean, instead of "i love the way you shine" something like, I don't know, "I love the way you squeeze your eyes while you laugh" (not sure if "squeeze" is the proper word in English, sorry ) or "I love the way you curl your hair while talking" (first things that came into my mind), supposing these actually applies to you...

Aww well thank you Mary, at least someone cares , but guys what i said, wasnt meant to be a pick up line to use on a random girl in a bar,the suject of this thread was
"What do Monkey Island fans think , is this a nice thing to say to a woman?"
so i thought id say something nice with something Monkey Island related like "diamond" or Treasure"
LOL you all speak the truth and if she doesn't want to be together there is always next semester at college . Lots of women their . I can't wait to go back to my city ghetto college !

Well, yes, if someone wrote a poem for me (especially someone who's not an experienced poet or writer) I wouldn't care even if he called me "Plunderbunny". (Oh my gawd, are those pet names kitschy... )

Well, I AM a woman. I can't speak for other women, but some of us actually like kitschy romantic words. (Before you ask: no, I'm NOT one of those 12-year-old girls who drool over teenage pop stars.)
