How do I get people to like me?

There was a SNL sketch that dealt with it (at the office, but works the same anyway). Basically, it said.

1- Be good looking.
2- Be actractive.
3- Don't be unatractive.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Well I like you just because you have the Apple Logo/Motto in your signature. I’m a long time Mac fan though. Now do you want to know how to get people on the boards to like you or people in real life?

On the boards it’s real easy: be honest, be consistent, be open-minded, be loyal, be diligent, defend the rights of others (even when they disagree with you) and fight to the death for what’s right.

In real life: Same as above, but much more difficult to execute. It’s not that hard to ignore an ignorant comment on a thread. I’ve been ignoring Chrisdo for a week now. It is hard to ignore it when someone cuts you off on the highway. That human essentially just told you that their time is more important than your life. That’s hard to ignore and it’s also why I no longer pack heat when I drive. I pray and I try to follow the ideals of the greatest living Philosopher, Jesus Christ. If you have a faith of some kind then cling to that for strength. If you have no faith then cling to the fact that you have HUGE BALLS and are taking a HUGE RISK with your eternal soul. I think if people would remember their faith in a higher power (or faith that there is no higher power) they would be more resilient.

okay sean i'm gonna give my "great aunt gertrude" advice (long story short, 2 friends of mine used to write an advice column in our school newspaper, but i used to write the horoscopes haha and damn they were scandalous).

first of all be yourself. if you're like me and you have layers, pick the layer that you feel represents you most of the time, which is normally the outside one. more importantly, you must believe that you like yourself, because when a person is confident in themselves, it's like they have this aura around them that draws other ppl to them. people wonder why this individual is so confident, why they are so happy with themselves, life and living in general. i know i've probably said it before, but tell yourself you're hot. cuz beauty is skin deep and sean you're a great person, after getting to know you on the forum, AND seeing your pictures, i'd probably take the chance to date you (if you weren't 16, i'm pretty sure that qualifies as rape since i'm 21 haha). but what i'm basically saying is that if you just be yourself, girls are gonna be attracted to that (if it's girls you are trying to get to like you). for guys, i'm not really sure how male bonding works, you'd have to ask someone else.

but from someone who has had a MAJOR crush on a not-so-very attractive guy (back in gr 8) i learned from that experience that looks aren't everything. mind you he was an amazing charmer, and almost every girl in the school had a crush on him. but he knew how to make a girl feel special. that's another important thing, we girls like to know that we are special to you. because sometimes we feel that you as guys could do better (i know it's a ridiculous feeling, but even i have felt that way about a guy). and we sometimes need that extra reinforcement that you really are into us.

hope this all helps! and if it's anything to you, i think you're cute! for a youngin'

~* you know you love me... xoxo *~

You don't necessarily have to try too hard, in fact, make it look as if you aren't trying at all.

Even if you are sweating under the collar, and spent hours planning whatever it is you are about to do, project an image of a sort of "devil may care" confidence and the feeling that you have everything well in hand and people will flock to you.

It helps if you have a good(and unique) sense of humor. Myself, I tend to lead towards the "holier than thou" sense of sarcasm, and it seems to get loads of laughs because I also let them know that its all an act, and that I really do care about their companionship.

What was the old saying? I may be paraphrasing but it is something along the lines of the best way to get friends is to become one.

I hardly ever called people by names, but I've started to more for some reason these days.

Well, are you TRULY counter-culture? Being something your not might also put some people off.

sean i would def use names. most people love to hear their name, because it means you've taken the time to learn and remember it. i'm always impressed if a person remembers my full name, cuz i will sometimes introduce myself with my full first middle and last name (cuz it all kinda rhymes) and if they remember it all i'm like wow either they have a very good memory, or they actually care.
use names as much as you can.

Yeah I never really like what others like.

That doesn't make you counter-culture necessarily, considering every person I know says that they like something different from "everyone else." It brings back that old joke about emo kids: "I'm different, just like everyone else."

I mean, I freely wear suits and ties, but does that make me counter-culture?
