Good show mate but there's a lot you've yet to see. Also, your "essay" reflects your viewpoint on the issue very well, but although you express your concept clearly, the vanity and selfish pride involved in your thought process is very obvious as well.
Mind that all girls aren't blonde beauties. Rebuking this while thinking that the rest just aren't worthy is just giving into the same feelings that the "jocks" have. We're all animals in the God-blessed (or Godforsaken if you're a pessimistic deist) universe, and how they feel is just as humane as anyone else. Stereotyping both the jocks and the rocks is OK here since you're attempting to take an objective and moral standpoint on the issue while trying not to be curt or abrupt. Stereotyping for the sake of gathering the information 1 though is not. Doing so compromises your objectivity and makes what your developing vulnerable to emotions and opinions.
Let's say 90% of all people are nice when it comes to the one on one situation 2. Everybody knows that meeting people individually provides a completely different approach than trying to impress the bunch, the group, or the mob. The latter requires rehearsal, tenacity, charisma, and (oh yah, you know it) luck for perfection and lack of the unexpected. Nerds, geeks, dweebs, etc. tend to be not exactly apt at impromptu and just dwell on the what ifs afterwards. Most people, will be honest with you and can have a sense of trust developed with them when you meet them by yourself.
"But those who are suave never get caught in those awkward situations!!"
Comon. You're gonna tell me that they're ALL so lucky NATIONWIDE (or all over the world, take your pick) that they just randomly happen to get stuck like that? First, they have brains too. They understand how to avoid the case where you usually make a fool outta yourself. Second, they have friends and the balls to go out and make new ones. Surround yourself with friends, and you'll be happier than being without'em. Even Buddhist monks that are always meditating live in a monastery with their devout brothers in study.
1: Of course you gathered information on this separately rather than depending on your own experience 100%, right? Unless this was an assignment for creative writing or psyche, I'd mark pts off for lack of resources; mind you I'm a H.S. senior as well.
2: What's nice? Where'd that %age come from? Comon, just be nice and let me use a nice # as a given. Trust me!
<The rules are being pushed here, but there's no nation called Robonic so there's no PMing the OP of the original thread.>
I'm not going to flame here with some long ass rebuttal speech, so if this hasn't inspired a response, maybe my sig will. Maybe it won't.
