How refreshingly candid of you MrBiggles. I think we would get along just fine IRL, but as I just said to someone else on here who suggested we could meetup, that will never happen - not intentionally anyway. I am older than most on the DNM's and Reddit, I suspect, but I don't do grumpy. As for your comments regarding the eye contact whilst on meth, I put that down to paranoia/over-thinking the situation. Meth may have some benefits - weight-loss, etc - and I don't want to sound all high and mighty when I show my contempt for that drug(poison), but the downsides ( ageing, meth mouth, etc) easily outweigh the benefits and I'm about to cull a very dear, child-hood friend of mine because of it. He's five years in and not the same bloke anymore - he actually frightens me sometimes, something I never thought could happen.Consider a switch to coke. If it's confidence your after, there's nothing finer. Hit a club, chat to a looker, and tell her that she can come back to yours to do some lines. The success rate of this method is high. I lived on the Gold Coast (Australia's easiest pitch) for a time in the early 2000's and was a reasonable looking fella ( modesty prohibits me from a full physical description), but with a few lines of coke under the belt and some readies back at the digs I took 'picking up' to another level. Give it try. I reckon you'll be able to maintain eye contact on the coke too, it's that kind of drug - quietly confident...and calm.

What's with the footpath thing? Melbourne? or Sydney? Sounds fucked. Don't have any footpath issues myself but might be due to my age, look, etc. Who knows, but it sounds fucked. Have a think about what I said. Might change your life...for the better. In friendship, take care.
