BAM! Be A Man. Do The Right Thing.

What Do I Need To Bring To the Table? What Can I Offer? Yes mates, you need to have something to offer. Not just for a potential partner, but really, for just about all aspects of your life. So, in speaking about having something to offer, along with your interesting activity that you are (will be) doing, you should have a job or some other way to earn an income. And you had better be able to pay all of your bills on your own. If you do not have a traditional job you should have something productive that you do during “normal” working hours. Sorry fellas, but hanging out at home playing video games in your moms basement, watching sports in TV, or endlessly watching YouTube videos until the time that you venture out to your "outside" group activity will not be enough. People have enough issues dealing with their own lives and they do not want to think that they will also have to take care of you too. For you artistic creative types, you will need to have a steady paying gig at least up until the time that you and your talent are finally discovered. And if you are the creative type it would be good for you to have a portfolio of some finished work to show people. One critical aspect of having something to offer is to not be in a position of having to take from others. Get your act together and be involved in productive activities. Life is not all fun and games. One other important tip is to have some - at least, a bit of a - sense of humor. You do not need to be a stand-up comedian, but you ought to be able to tell a joke or two or be able to add some wit and charm to a conversation. Be careful. You do not want to insult people and although a little self-depreciating humor can be funny, do not over do it. Too much will come across as having low-self-esteem. You will need to mix it up. Taking it to another level up, having a sense of humor can also apply to developing some flirting skills. Think about it. Flirting is humor with a direction and purpose! Flirting should be in good fun, never offensive or threatening and you need to know the limits of flirting when you do it. There is a fine-line between being the fun flirtatious guy and being a creep. Everyone will have their own sense of humor. Find yours and find the way to incorporate it in your conversations, again, both with friends and when on dates. Nobody likes a stick in the mud.
