To all those who say acting like Dim will get you the girl – if she has any sense of self-preservation or self-worth, she’ll be shutting that door and DIm won’t have a date at all, much less one with an R-rated ending,

Honestly most of us just have to man up and simply ask her out. Dont be too cheesy. Like Chris M said, be confident. Women would fall into your arms if you’re confident. It doesnt matter if you are ugly, short, or fat. Guys, just be confident. It will take a lot of practice and like CHris M said, try it out on one of your female friends.

I have to admit I am not the greatest dater and I’ve been rejected several times. But you cant take the rejection too emotionally. Theres really such thing as a bad boy. The Dim guy is just extremely confident. Dash on the other hand is a bit nervous but has confidence as well.

So I guess what I am trying to say is be confident! Forget everything else. If you like her, ask her out!

I believe a wise red neck put it best:

“If you show up to my place and honk the horn, you’d better be dropping something off, cause you SURE ain’t picking anything up.”

I was going to say, Dash isn’t getting any by being the nice guy, that’s for sure. That’s a pre-purchased one-way express ticket to the friendzone. It seems women these days have lost their abilities to tell the difference between the jerk, aka “Dim”, and the alpha male; they also have a hard time telling the difference between the guy that truly cares about them, aka “Dash” and a sissy who they’ll throw in the friendzone faster than Dim can honk his horn. That’s just some hard-earned experience talking.

Guys, stop downplaying what Dash or Dim are doing. It’s all about balance.

When I first started dating my girlfriend, I was more of a Dim than Dash but as time went by and we fell in love, I became a Dash but remained a Dim in bed.

It’s all about balance, and always look at it from the point of the woman’s… If you’re like Dash in the beginning, it may come off as needy.

Dash may just be the coolest name. Ever.

Here’s Truth: girls like Dim, that’s why he can be so callous and rude – he wouldn’t behave this way if he wasn’t so awesome that women crawl all over him. Dash behaves as he does because he is desperate and can’t get any action. The women whom Dash treats so baroquely are the cold/dried up/bags who aren’t giving out any candy in any case. Boys: be Dim, forget Dash – this is the same as saying be carefree assholes & women will like you better. Be uptight momma’s boys and the women will laugh at you and flee.

Here’s the problem – it all starts in high school. The Dim’s are the cool guys/bad boys, and that’s what teenage girls like. So the Dim’s get all the action. The Dash’s try to act like they’re from their grandfather’s generation, which makes girls not want to go out with them. Fast forward a few years, and (some of) the Dim’s have matured and are now the confident, respectful Dash’s that we all want to be, because they’ve had a lifetime of actual dating to build real honest-to-goodness confidence. The guys who were Dash’s in high school didn’t date a lot, didn’t build up real confidence, and are uncool guys as adults because of it.

So the moral of the story is, you need to be a Dim first and then mature into a Dash, otherwise you’re just pretending to be a Dash by reading articles on how to act gentlemanly, rather than naturally evolving into a confident Dash.
