Steps to getting a girl.

1) Be attractive

2) Don't be unattractive

3) Have confidence.

[–]Ramses3 10 points11 points ago

The first one is a bonus.

[–]crossfitfordays 6 points7 points ago

4) have chest hair

[–]SunAndCigarrets 5 points6 points ago

5) Have a beard.

Do you really expect the friend-zone whiners to know this?

[–]bultonic 9 points10 points ago

Whoa there, that got a little personal fast. Looks still matter. Its just that you can get by without them, as long as you make sure you are confident and interesting.

[–]DeepMidWicket 19 points20 points ago

the interesting bit kills me... im so boring..

[–]Porojukaha 12 points13 points ago

Then get off reddit and go talk to some girls.

It's like riding a bike. You fall off a lot at first, but with practice you can be riding them all day.

[–]The_Mischief_Man 36 points37 points ago

It also possibly helps if you're rich and famous. Bitches love rich and famous.

[–]mrbarber18 9 points10 points ago

I see this phrase a lot, but I think a better description is "all other things being equal, chicks prefer confidence". Not as catchy but more accurate I think haha.

[–]cjackw 4 points5 points ago

No. Confidence really is above many other things.

[–]trouphaz 2 points3 points ago

that's it. confidence can be more interesting than appearance and status. i knew this guy in college who never seemed to have any trouble getting women yet he was the weirdest looking guy. we used to call him "cloud head" because he had this giant afro (quite like the guy this thread is about), but he oozed confidence and people were drawn to him.

[–]whatismyproblem 2 points3 points ago

I suppose being popular, successful, funny, likes to dance and is in a well known "music group" helps out in his attractiveness.

[–]GrampappyJoe 8 points9 points ago

The problem here is when ugly sons of bitches like that guy and myself display this 'confidence' it's usually perceived as being delusional' 'omg why does that guy think he can just come up and talk to me, doesn't he know how ugly he is'

[–]mrbarber18 10 points11 points ago

Exactly! "Chicks dig confidence" is half the picture. The rest is that the confidence has to be based in something. A guy can have confidence in his sense of humor, his intelligence, or whatever good traits he does have, but having confidence is not going to make people simply forget his flaws.

[–]muddzm 8 points9 points ago

What about having confidence in having confidence?

[–]wishediwasagiant 9 points10 points ago

Confidenception

[–]cjackw 6 points7 points ago

You aren't really confident if you have that in the back of your mind. Most women can smell fakeness and part of it is also seeming interesting and not needy. Best way to describe it is you are "someone that has something going on".

[–]trouphaz 2 points3 points ago

A confident guy wouldn't worry. He's shrug it off and move on. You go up to a girl feeling like you're going to fail and most likely you will. You go up to a girl without a concern about failing, your chances of failure decrease immensely, but nothing is a guarantee. If you are confident, not getting with a girl won't feel like a failure, but just another step in getting towards the right girl. I think I read it on reddit recently where they said each rejection is basically cutting the field down by one more person who isn't right for you (or something to that effect).

[–]imrich2 2 points3 points ago

Gotta own it.

[–]yourmomsanalbead 2 points3 points ago

Well then he should change it to, I'm confident and girls know it.

[–]Tripleh280 3 points4 points ago

That's something I never understood. A girl can have all the confidence in the world, if she's ugly or unattractive to me i still won't sleep with her.

[–]tha_dood 0 points1 point ago

And money. Confidence alone doesn't do shit when you're that ugly AND aren't rich.

[–]EverGreenPLO 0 points1 point ago

Money dude. Chicks dig money.

[–]Shadow3 306 points307 points ago

That is the sole reason it is supposed to be funny....

[–]CheeseMonkiesAttack 75 points76 points ago

I thought the same . . . the dance kills me every fucking time. Even in the car I see that dance and giggle uncontrollably.

[–]Manial 62 points63 points ago

Yeah I don't know how anyone could watch the music video and think they're being serious.

[–]erishun 23 points24 points ago

Harsh, bro.

[–]cbarrett1989 3 points4 points ago

Listen, your fucking axis need labels. No excuses for laziness.

[–]Ceejae 4 points5 points ago

OP lives in a world where jokes do not exist. It is the only logical explanation.

[–]inormallyjustlurkbut 32 points33 points ago

I know, right? This is almost as bad as when Weird Al had that Amish Paradise song. He's not even Amish!

[–]janosaudron 63 points64 points ago

Oh... yeah this... it's a new thing called humor, they say it's the next big thing.

[–]koerbchen 4 points5 points ago

Really? We should make a subreddit for this.

[–]WouldntThatBeNice 10 points11 points ago

That'd be funny

[–]thedawgboy 2 points3 points ago

What you did there... I see it!

[–]kharmakazy 28 points29 points ago

I guarantee he is better looking than OP.

[–]WhereMyDaughter 1 point2 points ago

I demand OP posts a picture of himself so we can make a comparison

[–]LoCHiF 70 points71 points ago

TIL There are a lot of upvoting mother fuckers who don't know LMFAO are a comedic band.

[–]Tkpwns 3 points4 points ago

I still don't see why not many people like them...

I do just because they are ridiculously hilarious.

But only if you married a weatherman and he picked the date.

[–]sexgott 3 points4 points ago

It's a freeee riiiiide

[–]Mac_Anu 3 points4 points ago

But you've already paid.

[–]DICKTracey 4 points5 points ago

The only thing ironic about that song is that none of the things she states are ironic, but mearly unfortunate.

I'm still not sure if she's a genius or an idiot.

[–]D2_Smurf 3 points4 points ago

I think you just answered it for yourself

[–]nofelix 2 points3 points ago

I just looked up the wiki page for the song. Either she's so dumb or an amazing troll. In response to the criticism about not understanding irony, she is quoted as saying

"For me the great debate on whether what I was saying in 'Ironic' was ironic wasn't a traumatic debate. I'd always embraced the fact that every once in a while I'd be the malapropism queen. And when Glen and I were writing it, we definitely were not doggedly making sure that everything was technically ironic"

Which is a fucking wrong use of the word 'malapropism'. I shouted at the screen when I read that.

[–]ForcedToJoin 2 points3 points ago

She would be a genius if NOTHING mentioned in the song was genuinely ironic. However, some of the things are, confirming that she simply doesn't know the meaning of the word.

[–]wildlyoscillate 56 points57 points ago

Jesus H. Christ, you really don't understand this?

[–]JustinBiebsFan98 2 points3 points ago

Even more terrifying: 862 upvoting redditors don't get it

[–]Avohaj 6 points7 points ago

What is Jesus' middle name?

[–]nofelix 13 points14 points ago

Hesus

[–]kvachon 28 points29 points ago

No, wait. That makes no sense.

Holly. That's a name.

Girl, have you seen his body?

[–]HappyLittleTetrad 18 points19 points ago

He's not all that ugly. His hair is pretty ridiculous though.

[–]kosure 7 points8 points ago

He's not really that bad looking.

[–]Graizur 6 points7 points ago

Status is sexy, so is money, talent and the ability to overcome obstacles.

[–]comfan 13 points14 points ago

Cue a definition of irony

[–]TheAntsKnuckles 10 points11 points ago

Honestly, I think he's kinda cute. 6/10 would hug.

[–]bobtheunbeatable 14 points15 points ago

because he's probably still more attractive than the majority of reddit

[–]Berkel 4 points5 points ago

I thought he was rather handsome.

[–]SwellSeason 7 points8 points ago

That's the joke. Their music is satire.

[–]kevka 4 points5 points ago

Maybe you just don't know how sexy he really is.

[–]MysterVaper 3 points4 points ago

In satire irony is militant.

[–]Dragodot 3 points4 points ago

It's almost like satire doesn't exist

[–]nowrongwrong 2 points3 points ago

He's now rich. That's the sexy.

[–]kittengrenade 2 points3 points ago

Oh crap. Are there still people that haven't caught on to LMFAO? I remember when they first came out and a surprising number of people just didn't get it, which blew my mind. I've still got kind of a standing argument with my SO about whether or not anyone STILL hasn't caught on... do I lose?

[–]DaenerysTargaryen2 2 points3 points ago

That is the whole point of the video.....It is meant to be ironic

[–]soulkissernl 2 points3 points ago

You can be sexy AND ugly. Being sexy doesn't necessarily mean you're attractive.That's just my opinion though.

[–]Rulebeel 2 points3 points ago

http://i.imgur.com/uvJng.jpg

That is what he has to say to you

[–]eziocreed 2 points3 points ago

he's not ugly i think he's sexy

[–]Lkoiuj 1 point2 points ago

I have an explanation it's called this is a repost

[–]MorphotheDragon 2 points3 points ago

These comments confuse me. I thought Reddit hated LMFAO, now it's praising them and their sense of humor?

I will never understand this place.

[–]Still_a_dill 16 points17 points ago

Because Reddit is a Borg collective where everyone and everything always thinks the same.

On that note, since you had to ask that question; when was your last re-alignment to the hive??

PS. Resistance is futile.

[–]adokretz 2 points3 points ago

It's not because of irony.

[–]lzpj 0 points1 point ago

Big Head Todd's version is excellent!!

[–]Mugros 1 point2 points ago

I kid you not, one of my friends sisters slept with this guy. He gave her a foot massage.

[–]420greg 0 points1 point ago

Rockwell is his half brother. Both Redfoo and Rockwell are the son of Berry Gordy. The other guy in LMFAO is Berry Gordy's grandson and Rockwells half grandson.

[–]BJUmholtz 0 points1 point ago

Nepotism.

[–]Ozaze 1 point2 points ago

Also that's the whole joke. Do you like fishsticks?

[–]Rotidder81 0 points1 point ago

whats to understand??? he has a shit ton of money.

[–]faceback 0 points1 point ago

Confidence. Also, being the son of the founder of Motown Music helps.

[–]FreaXoMatic -1 points0 points ago

Have you ever watched the video?

[–]leftlooserighttight 1 point2 points ago

They LMFAO'd all the way to the bank....

[–]JermStudDog 1 point2 points ago

Did you ever even watch the video?

It's a fucking joke!

[–]Dat_Wolf_Pack 1 point2 points ago

Are you like 12? Or just stupid. It is pretty obviously a joke.

[–]Jimbamacus -1 points0 points ago

Sex appeal dude, you have to have a little bit of everything, balance and stability is key.

You accidentally a letter.

[–]ElPeruano 0 points1 point ago

I'm not gonna lie, I fucking hate that song but it's pretty awesome that an ugly motherfucker like that can still look himself in the mirror and be happy with who he is.

[–]Trakis 0 points1 point ago

yet i'm sure he gets more action than any of us.

[–]formerlylurkinlurker 1 point2 points ago

Confidence means good self esteem. Its a GREAT quality to have. This song boasts that, and it's so upbeat people love it.

[–]Teenage_Handmodel 0 points1 point ago

That's the whole fucking point. It's called irony.

[–]xxlittlemissxx 1 point2 points ago

I actually think he's kind of attractive, but then again...confidence.

[–]ForcedToJoin 0 points1 point ago

The entire song is about having confidence and loving yourself even if you're not the hottest stud in town.

I mean, if we're gonna be this cynical, I think we can all agree that Pink is at least a little bit less then fucking perfect.

[–]t2gunnz 0 points1 point ago

Like rappers rap about being rich? And killing people?

Or country stars about driving a tractor? Or living in a small town?

Naivety.

[–]ans84 0 points1 point ago

It's more upsetting to me that this is the actual spawn of Motown mogul Berry Gordy. Dad must be proud?

[–]TheNewcsboy 1 point2 points ago

The band is called LMFAO what do you expect ...

[–]axemonk667 0 points1 point ago

The song is meant to be sarcastic,

I think

[–]klousGT -1 points0 points ago

Simple, he didn't say "I'm sexy and YOU know it"

[–]Skeetrap 1 point2 points ago

IMHO, LMFAO was trolling the entire music industry when they released this song, because of how stereotypical pop music has become. Think about it.

[–]PenguinPerson 0 points1 point ago

Well sure confidence... and possibly he was making a satirical song?

I'm sure I'm missing the joke in it all but I've only ever met 3 people that agree the song was meant as satire.

The hilarity of the music video says it all.

[–]UlicQelDrea 1 point2 points ago

I thought the whole song was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek..

He talks about wearing speedos at the beach and stuff.

[–]ChikiParm 0 points1 point ago

Having a bagina, you should mental note this little fun fact: overly confident = turn-off! Unless you're Robert Downey Jr. Then you can be as cocky as you please.

she's pretty easy on the eyes, but I don't fund her sexy one bit...

[–]slugsmile 0 points1 point ago

I once heard of something called "Irony", don't know what ever happened to it though.

[–]callmeRichard 0 points1 point ago

It's his hair. A friend of mine has identical hair and girls come up to him all the time because of it. I mean on a daily basis.

He actually went as this dude for halloween last year. ANother friend was dressed as the robot guy.

He said sexy, not physically attractive. Sexiness comes from confidence, the lack of which being the reason why you're always so lonely and unhappy.
