Oh yea? From the NewYork Times to Osama's hide out, I'll make them know you had one!

Wow, someone almost as screwed as I am.

Heh.

Well, it seems to be all athletics. Get in every team you can find and limit your vocabulary to 2 syllable words. It also helps to wear a puzzled expression, keep your mouth open at all times, and fail every class.

Yes, I'm bitter and non-conformist.

Heh, I love this stuff.
Alright. The first thing you need is confidence. This is why girls go for the ghettos and the jocks. It has nothing to do with the things they do. Girls don't like assholes any more than you do. Girls like confidence. Stand up straight, make eye contact and get your hands out of your pockets. Don't dress sloppily. Wear clothes that are clean and without holes, don't worry about following any certain crowd, you don't have to go to Pac Sun or the Gap. If you seem self confident a girl won't care, believe me.

Next, all male school huh? This is where things get difficult then. School is probably the best place to meet girls. Well, until you can go to the bars anyway. This means you have to go to things like parties, dances, the mall and other places girls frequent. Don't be afraid to talk to them. It's not like you are asking them out, yet. DON'T hit on her and don't compliment her yet. Being complimented by a stranger is creepy. Best way I've found is to ask questions, get her to talk about herself. Sooner or later you'll find something in common or come up with a personal anecdote you can relate and you'll get a conversation going. If things go well, ask her for her phone number, or even a messenger screen name. Most girls are online now and they are usually more willing to give that out then their phone numbers. I've picked up a LOT of girls that way. Oh yeah, if it goes well at the girl but she's not her type. Stay in touch anyway. Girls have friends. She might know someone that's more your speed.
Lastly. Things change a LOT after you graduate. All the social barriers come down. The cliques dissolve and nobody really cares anymore. The ass that used to make fun of you in the hallway will invite you to parties and drop by just to say hello. The girls that seemed out of your league in high school will hit on you at parties.
You only really need to remember 2 things.
1. Be self confident
2. Be social

I cant get a girlfriend for a number of reasons.

1: I'm a cynical, sarcastic, hateful bastard, at all times.
2: I do decent in school (3.4)
3: For some reason, gregorian/Latin chant music turns off the ladies.

4: Oh, and I dont talk. Not unless it's needed, or if I have something to contribute of worth.
5: ph34r my m4/\/80085!!!!!!11111111

I think #5 is the clincher there.

Thats some girls. Girls cannot be generalized that easily. Though if you go to a preppy private school, this is probabley good advice.

Actually I've yet to find a girl that this doesn't work with. I mean, this isn't foolproof. A prep will usually still turn down a gamer or a nerd. This is especially true in high school. A lack of confidence however, is the biggest reason ANY girl will turn you down. If you have confidence, the battle is already half won. All you have to do is convince her that you are the guy for her, and that in itself a lot easier if you are confident. You want proof of the power of confidence?
Here is a TRUE example, believe it or not.

My friend Mike and I go to the mall. Hang out at the coffee shops and sit on the benches.
Nothing out of the ordinary happens.

Go back the next day, I am wearing my kilt and my friend Mike wears this really gaudy costume necklace with lots of fake diamonds in it. You might ask what this has to do with anything. Well, it takes guts to wear this stuff in public plus it gives anybody coming up to you something to talk about.
Mike gets 5 phone numbers and a girl offers to buy him lunch. He later goes on to have sex with 3 more of the girls.
I get 2 phone numbers myself and talk to several other girls. I don't get laid (at least not right away. Mike was looking for sex, I was looking for a gf)

My school doesnt offer any other language then Spanish. So I've taken it upon myself to learn the languages I want through music.

Currently working on German/Latin.
