Al-right guys, and possibly girls. I have two main questions. I thought each of them were quite short so I have thrown them together in one post.

The first question is, sorry if it is already up but I could not seem to find it.
Does fat affect the game?
I am a big bloke and was wondering what peoples opinions on this are. Lately I have been going out and opening sets that have seemed to go well so I am semi believing that no it doesn't or I may have to make minor changes. But seeing as I am new I thought it would best to get someone else's opinion. Preferably someone with experience directly to this but any opinions will be valued.

Second question is.
How do you feel about negs based on stereotypes?
Such as the other night I was in a backpackers bar in Brisbane called down under. I opened a set with a Norwegian blonde 7. I used a neg that went something along the lines of this. "oh your from Norweigh, so it's safe to assume all you listen to is death metal yeah?" She giggled and then later told me that she was actually in to Bruce Springsteen.

Stereotype negs are great just don't use something truly offensive. Yours was perfect and as you can see it worked. The rule is - if she doesn't laugh or doesn't understand you're just teasing, you did it wrong.

Now the looks. Looks do matter. The good news is they matter much LESS for women. Women don't care about looks nearly as much as we do. They care more about your personality. If you're moderately fat, good game can easily overcome that handicap. If you're seriously overweight - it will be very hard - and it also communicates to her you neglect your health. If you're seriously overweight - you should lose it, not just for women but first and foremost for your own health and self-esteem.

Once again, INSULTS ARE NOT NEGS! Sarcasm isn't negging, teasing isn't negging. Negs are complements, with some part of them being negative, but the overall comment is a sincere complement. And using stereotypes will always run the risk of someone not being too understanding and getting pissed at you over it.

teasing is ofcourse negging sometimes.
Lets take a look at whats going on here
me: wew! That shirt you are wearing is awesome,
she: thanks
me: i remember your sister was wearing the same shirt yesterday
she: you are a lier, bastard, it's my own
me : (hugging her) ah! It's ok darling
she: punches my arm
now tell me what was that? A tease? A neg? Balance of ioi and iod ? So negs can be a tease too

neg is a negative compliment, a compliment with some negative aspect to it, simple as that, it is not a tease, it is not an insult, in the above post, that was a compliment with a negative aspect to it, just like HEY FROM FAR AWAY YOU LOOKED LIKE SUCH A BITCH, BUT FROM UP CLOSE YOU ARE SOO NICE,

nice nails are they real?, oh well i like them anyways,

wow you are so cute, just like a little sister

wow nice shoes, they look comfortable

it is so nice small talking with you

my dear tease is just the same. Tease also has a negative hit. Without a negative hit how can you tease someone? Gimme an example. You can't. I appreciate your reading mystery but remove the magic from that guy and he cnt get chicks. Plus read, "instant sexual attraction" by sin, gives u info abt mystery. Plus mystery method is fucked up, it got many guys into confusion, and make the robots literally
