Trying a little hard there, hoss. But as I asked for you to enterain, you certainly came through.

Like a rock cuz! Dumb as but just as reliable.

Thanks.

You know, at least the OP is a lot better than some of the teenage guys I've met who just recently broke up with their GFs..

"OMG, How will I ever live without her?" /emowristslashhimselftodeath is the epitome of some of the guys I've met, especially if it was their first GF.

My advice to the OP? Don't think about women right now. Focus on getting your shit together, like college or whatever you're doing to get ahead in life (you ARE doing something.. right?), and the women part will take care of itself eventually. You're 19, for crying out loud! You've got plenty of time to get laid and find the right lady when you're ready to start dating seriously.

In the meantime, just go make friends. A helluva lot less stressful, and less pressure on you when you're not thinking on the back of your mind "omg, I want to date her."

[Aristio]

What I really want is sort of being able to flirt with women, without looking like an idiot. My self-image has been shot down extremely, and I just need a confidence booster I think. I'm not sure if this is a personal problem, or something I should discuss on BG, but I need advice from someone.

Edit: Zansho, you're right. That is what I -am- planning, but pissing two and a half years away just sucks. I'm just trying to figure out my next move. First thing that comes to mind usually is just find another one. But I am in college, and looking for a job.

Oh like when you posted some bullshit and I rebutted it with science, and you ran away? Like that?

Is that what you're trying to accomplish again?

You mean the science that backed up what I was saying from the start? Jesus fucking Christ, kid, you're not winning this argument.

Since you need to be walked through this:

4 grams per day is the current maximum short-term dosage for Tylenol, though the only studies showing safety at this dose focused on signs of overt damage to the liver. That recent small study showed elevated transaminases in several patients taking 1 gram four times daily, so an FDA panel last year recommended that the maximum dose be lowered to 2.6 grams per day (AKA, 8 normal-strength Tylenol pills) and recommended that Vicodin, Percocet, and several other narcotics be taken off the market because they contain too much acetaminophen to stay under this new maximum dosage.

The FDA has not taken these final steps, but almost certainly will soon. The reason they chose 2.6 grams is that similar studies have been performed on this dosage, and showed no signs of liver damage as far as two years out.

In other words, I am right and you are an idiot who didn't even read the "science" you confronted me with.

EDIT: Also, what I posted earlier was in reference to the medical definition of "addiction," not "dependence."

Don't you feel good knowing you went to medical school so you can show up kids on the internet?

Well, I would say your ex is pretty cute. Just realize that unless you paid or threatened her to date you, you've got to be good looking enough or been doing SOMETHING right to been able to get a decent looking girl. You shouldn't really have self esteem issues coming out of this.

As for flirting with women, there's no one RIGHT way to flirt with women (although there are a lot of wrong ways to do it). It depends on the person, as well as the situation, type of girl, etc.. some people don't even flirt at all and they do just fine.

There's a good reason I stay out of these threads typically. I just felt like chiming in because I read all about this particular subject earlier in the year to argue the point with someone else, and I'm mesmerized by this kid's inability to admit he's wrong even while he's posting stuff that contradicts what he's saying.

So because you googled some shit after your initial post and found 2.6 grams, which hasn't even been implemented by the FDA ( which by the by is an organization that allows fatal drugs like Vioxx to stay on the market for 5 years ), and decided to say it after the fact and out of context to what I was saying that it proves a point?

Come on nignog, you can do better than this. Stop saying dumb shit and it won't be thrown in your face. We call this 'preventative medicine.'

Yes, you can try to continue chiming in to these threads giving a retards level of advice by saying to take Tylenol over a long period of time instead of contacting a therapist or professional.

You sure showed me.

They allowed Vioxx and Bextra to stay on the market because the makers buried the studies that showed that COX-2 selectivity was correlated with stroke/heart attack long enough to get it on the market. I actually agree that the FDA needs to slow down the approval process, but that fact has nothing to do with the issue at hand. There is good data that supports the FDA panel's recommendation (Which just so happens to be my recommendation as well).

Hint: I'm not running to Google to help me out. If you are going to try to keep this argument going, I suggest you start reading what a few Google keywords turns up before you post it.

Protip: If you want to convince people you aren't using Google, don't post facts as an afterthought to a post after someone shoots it down. Just sayin'

Oh ya, I totally forgot that there aren't any companies that profit off of acetaminophen that would use resources to contribute data to study that would benefit their product.

Got me again bud! Boy you're good at this.

I pretty much had her delivered into my hands. It was one of my sisters friend and thought I was cute, so she gave me a chance. I kept her by my wit and charm. Fuck you're right. If I could get a girl as good looking as that, there is no reason because of this, I can't find someone just as good.

But to be fair, she was broken goods to begin with. Fucking low self esteem, bad history, immature(And still is), and a nearly abusive family. Was easy picking looking back on it now.

[archibaldcrane]

Just be awesome all the time, the girls will come.

[Weeks]

Just tell me which non-sequitur angles of attack you're likely to take and maybe I can do something about shutting you down ahead of time. Or was I supposed to foresee you confronting me with an article which says that a larger dose which I consider unsafe causes liver damage and you switching your attack to the credibility of the FDA because they agree with me and not with the fact that you made up yesterday?

Well, assuming she didn't cheat on you, there has to be some reason why you didn't end up losing her to some other guy.

Regardless, stop questioning yourself. You want to have higher self-esteem? Then stop thinking so much and worrying. That's what bitches do.

You must be new to arguing. You see, you say something, and then I counter it. You say FDA supports X, and I say oh well hello the FDA also supported Y.

I'm trying to help you look like less of a dipshit, but you have the tendency to say dumb shit with the same frequency a Parkinson's victim uses to make smoothies.

Nice attempt with the helpless woman routine since you couldn't find any more "facts" on Google or Wikipedia. But don't let this post stop you, please, proceed...

[Weeks]

I have a feeling I'm just being baited, and I think it's pretty clear which one of us knows what he's talking about. And I'm not new to arguing, I just am accustomed to it progressing once the loser fails to find any backing for his argument. Feel free to find an article that backs up the fact you made up yesterday and I'll change my practice. Also feel free to grow up.
