You know what? I just remembered one time that I actually did manage to attract girls of my age. It was waaay back in high school, but it was strange the way it happened. Normally I am a pretty shy person. When among a group of people I don't know, I shut my mouth, keep quiet, and sit in the back corner of a room and hope that nobody notices me. That's what really made this event so strange.
I was selected to be part of a focus group to evaluate and give suggestions for a website that was supposed to be used for educating and providing resources on how young people could get jobs at oil companies or something like that. I really don't remember. But they assembled a group of people from my school and another school to give their input. I knew the people from my school, which I suppose loosened me up a little bit. But it was still strange.
The thing is that during the conference, I began to get very chatty, and started to crack a few jokes. For example, when I was writing on my form what I wanted to be after I graduated, I wrote Gigolo, and read it out as written when we had to tell a little about ourselves. But the thing is that I really didn't shut up that whole night, and I always had something to say. I thought that my guidance councellor who came with us was going to kill me at the end of the night, but afterward she told me that I did a VERY good job of providing humor to a situation that could have become pretty hostile otherwise. (Basically, the group of people from the other school were complete idiots, and our group was composed of mostly A students. Their suggestions wer downright stupid, and were grating on all of our nerves.)
But the thing is that the general consensus afterward was that one of the girls from the other school had a big crush on me by the end of the night, and one of the girls from my school wouldn't leave me alone for like months afterward. I eventually managed to get her to leave me alone by showing her one of my "other" personalities, and she decided I wasn't worth the effort. The reason I did that I suppose was that I was afraid of what would happen if I did start dating her, and I really wasn't attracted to her at all.
But the thing is that I showed a great deal of confidence that I normally don't have that night, and it did wonders. Of course there weren't any people around that I really wanted to impress, but whatever. I wouldn't have behaved like that if there were. I would have been much too frightened. The point is that Ms. Pikmin does seem to be right in that confidence is really one of the things that girls look for.
