The Nature of the Problem


The Nature of the Problem

or Why Aztec will be girlfriendless for at least until mid-College.

another insane intellectual thought I've been having. In the past week, I've noted the similarity of Homecoming Week to 1984's Hate Week, society pushing down women is reflected in AIM names, racism in the senior play during Homecoming Week, and now this.

So without further ado, The Nature of the Problem.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The problem: Why can't Aztec actually get a girlfriend? He knows some girls, and tried once.

The simple answer: I think.

The justification:

After a few years of experience, and please do not hesitate to correct me if I am wrong, most girls follow this pyramid when it comes to guys. Top is better, lower is worse.

-Jocks- sports players

-the "ghetto"- the cool kids

-the all-around performer- he isn't failing everything like the jock, and doesn't come to school waving his gold chains, but is rather a mix of several qualities. This category has various grades of people, from "ghetto jock with a 2.1" to "guitarist with a 3.2 who is on the rowing team". Most people and school stereotypes, such as the "teacher's pet" and the "wannabe ghetto" fall into this category.

-gamers- rather play the leaked beta of a game over LAN than go to a dance (unless they have a girl). Playing HALO once doesn't make you a gamer. People who take this up as a hobby are.

And finally, the thinkers.

The thinkers can be a combination of gamer, as I am. They can be on a sport team, but you'll always be a geek. I'm in rowing, but nobody considers me a jock. Which is good.

The thinkers do good in school, even better than gamers. However, their interests go beyond games into other areas. Basically, that wierd fuckup who knows the WW2 Luftwaffe markings, etc. (that fuckup is me).

I know several girls, but they don't really appeal to me. I hate techno, rap, and pop, so I don't go to the school dances. I don't like Goth chicks (please tell this to my friend, he's trying to hook me up).

I think, seriously, I'm quite a bit beyond some of my peers. For one, I cannot make a coherent sentence in Ebonics (what does "up the heezy" mean, anyway?). My vocabulary doesn't consist of the words "fuck" and "yo". This can lead to some people making entire sentences out of just those two words, like a hydrocarbon molecule.

But the problem goes even deeper. Assuming I do get a girlfriend, I won't "do anything" with her. By that I mean I won't have sex with her. Why? I think I'm Last of the Catholics.



Now I'm not saying I am 100% fucked for life. There ARE girls like me, somwhere. But they hate techno, rap, and pop, so they don't go to dances.

Anyone that has actually read all this deserves Dio's Teh Two Cookies award.

EDIT: All-male school.

People who think, and forge their own path instead of just following the wheel rut in the road where someone before them traveled, will always be disliked by those who who follow. Just find a chick who also is a thinker, they exist, just aren't as common...

You are right. Stay. It's just that you are reguriating information that has already been said.

Trust me, do kung-fu, pick fights and if a jock messes with you, kick his ass. You'll get detention, but who cares?

That and do guitar, you may have heard this already, but chicks dig a guy who plays guitar. And if he can kick ass Matrix-style, even better!

A: I am a blue belt in Tae Kwon Do. Today, in the gym, in the area I was in, people were running around, slapping each other, playing, nothing bad. Someone slaps me.

The ninja in me activates, and I give him a left-leg sidekick.

I didn't mean to hurt him. At least he's lucky he wasn't on my right..

Besides, I don't get harassed much. This is not a problem.

B: Everyone who plays guitar is a poser in my school. So many people do it it's generally assumed that anyone who does is copying. Besides, I tried bass guitar, didn't catch on.

Ok, I'll say something that hasn't been said yet.
*reads through the thread to make sure*
This is not a problem to be fixed. You are, how you are, they are how they are. There is no problem, you are just incompatible...


EDIT: (its kinda funny, describing your situation as a problem is the characteristic responce of the kind of people of which you speak. I have always been kinda on the fringe, since i have an intence loathing for conformity, wich is prevelant in my generation )

I am like you man. I'm a 4.0+ student. I have a good amount of friends. I'm a gamer too. My problem was that I was short. Short and immature.

Well the past year I got a lot more mature, and I've grown considerably so that people no longer make ne references to my height. Problem is is wut u were saying.

I'm just in the middle somewhere. I'm not a jock, a ghetto hoodster or nething like that I'm just a smart kid whos otherwise pretty regular.

My other problem is that my reputation precedes me as being a fun person to hang around but not necessarily a ladies man. ha ha. And i'm like u too, i wont do nething with a girl newayz so i figure wtf do i need one till i get my license (about 6 months.) I am gonna skip homecoming this year to hang out with my buds who are also like me. I'll go junior year maybe, but for now I just wanna enjoy being a "kid." altho i share ur belief in that I am beyond many of them.

Hope that lets you know you're not alone.

Ok gota plan-beer and hamma, its time to listen to your teacher!

Really that sux.

Now, you gota be the all around as you say it. Screw the thinker and the gamer (well not the gamer, the thinker could go byebye cause Europe ain't gona attack us any time soon). Dont talk about gigobytes and dot talk about E=MC squared all that. Dont wear shit that gives too much information (aka Record of stuff in your area) and dont wear anything beyond the colors that would be considered "boy colors". Wear shit from Pac Sun (if there is a such place in our area) and dont exceed into the rock/punk dude, wear stuff that fits your physical apearence. Be quiet, and show them that if you mess with them, you'll bring back the chinesse (aka, you gona defend yourself with Tae Kwon Do shit and your gona defend yourself good).

Dont pick fights, dont be bad, dont do stuff that you didn't do before. What i said may be different but those are litle changes, you already got a back history in your area, we are just pushing the limits one by one. #1, keep your ass shut. Dont talk what they talk, dont do what they do, dont be gangsta as they already are.

Oh and do go to dances. I'm not much of a rap guy either, but if you stay home, it just means more negitive stuff on the checklist.

Now, I will say this as many times as F'ing possible, 1-800-LOVE-191, 10-12 pacific time. Just say you are pretty much geek and you want to be turned around, and tell them your age too, cause you dont want to be taught the way hamma was taught. REALLY, call, the youngest person to call is like 11, so if your 11 and a half, it means jack nothing.



Or, be yourself. There isn't anything thatbad about it, I mean your gona be their bosses some day and they will have to listen to you or else they will get fired. Fun fun.


:note: this post is late, sry if it cuts through a big conversation or whatever.

I really hate conformity...

IT ISN'T A PROBLEM TO BE FIXED!!!! He is an individual, that happens (although alot less in todays society) and should be counted as a blessing, not a friggin curse. If they reject you because you are you, then trust me, you don't want them...
