4chan on making acquaintances friends and being fun

I want to throw my to cents into this conversation.

So the idea of being more fun is definitely somthing I have not taken into consideration in my social improvement for some time. I will take it into a count more going froward. Besides that I do have some gripes with the messages this post is trying to put forward.

First of all. I do agree with the fact that most people want friends and that alot of them are to lazy to do anything about it, but assuming that everyone wants to make friends is a bit oblivious. Some people have no interest in gaining more friends. I'm by no means "popular", but even I have trouble keeping up with all my friends and keeping in contact. Some people have enough friends to not seek out or want more friends and some people don't want friends (for different reasons).

The idea that somone would want to accompany you to do normal mondane tasks is a bit far fetched. I know some realy nice and fun people, but fuck no if I would want to take time out of my day to go with them to DMV or places like that. Hanging out and chilling, no problem. Going to a place like DMV or to go and fill gass. No. I value my time a bit to much for that and I can spend it much better than that. I do get that if you're a fun person people would want to hang out with you more, but I thats a bit of a no brainer. Not anything most people don't allready know.

If someone asked me to accompany them to the DMV I might be flattered or I might think that the person asking me thinks I realy have nothing better to do. It could show signs of confidence, but I think people will also think of you as boring and I can't imagen it working out. When it come to asking a girl to go with you, like a date. I would never in a milion years sugest doing that unless you want to be friend soned. She will think your boring most likely and a bit weird. Dates should be exciting and fun.... not boring and mondane activities.

The whole idea that you're a loser if you can't get people to go with you to do boring shit like you're sugesting is ludacris. I don't throw the loser brand around lightly, but I do not understand your mindsett here. The whole idea that you should seek out loser because they are like your kinda sugesting "not as good as you are" is dumb. Seeking out loser because that will make you feel better and it easy is shallow as fuck and honestly makes that person seem insecure.

I do agree with the message of trying to find the humor and joy in mondane activities and things, but alot of this is rubish in my opnion. Sure if you get really hyped over going to the gass station it might innfect the others going with you or you just seem realy fucking weird.

And the whole when she says no, she actually means yes thing. I don't understand your tough prosses here. Unless a girl was realy hot or I was head over heels for her I would never go on a date to someplace like a DMV. When she says no to go to the DMV does not mean shes keen on going someplace else. It could lead to that, but most likely it's not a great first impression.
