It's annoyingly in style right now. Blame it on rap, IMHO.

Well to be perfectly frank people in this day and age are jerks.\nPeople seem to be involved with themselves caring little about anyone or anything else. They are a product of the fast paced world we live in today. Don't get me wrong not everyone is like this. You are obviously old school (a very good trait), but most people in the world today weren't raised like you. Don't give up keep being yourself (even though it may piss you off sometimes). Believe it or not by being the way you are you are most definitely making a difference in the lives of others, even though you may never know it. Good Luck. And by the way good afternoon!!!

Hmmm...I've never heard of that, except for extreme cases. you must be extremely goregeous. i guess as long as you don't pull over, you'd do fine. the people who makes those signs are not real polite because they didn't take how you would feel about those really crude advances to try to get into your pants...

its all in the way you carry yourself. what you believe in and what your self esteem be at. i think i am a likeable guy because i try to be friendly n try to carry myself with respect not only for myself but others...though i do make mistakes. i am not perfect lol. people have their faults n when you have friends who know of these faults n are still there for ya...you just knowyou doing something right.

Yes. I've met several polite criminals and know a couple of them personally. Note that not all criminals are the type that would rob you at gunpoint, kill you or rape you. There are less violent criminals too.

It makes you willing to let other people set the tone for your encounter with them. It is a valid social strategy unless  you allow them to upset you for longer than the encounter or the other person is violent.\n\nBe mild with the mild, shrewd with the crafty, confiding to the honest, rough to the ruffian, and a thunderbolt to the liar. But in all this, never be unmindful of your own dignity.\n-John Brown

Because you are hanging around the wrong crowds if they are that blatant... first off ask yourself where this usually happens... is it clubs and bars? why are you REALLY insistant on still going to them... if it is just to have fun... take along some friends to do the blocking for you just in case you are tempted... or simply to weed out the punks.  Simple answer... you are hanging around some real pricks if they casually ask you that... tough love answer: you are contributing to this quite possibly by putting yourself out there in some way by chance.  I can not say for sure because I do not know for sure.... but that is the most common pathology in that scenario

Gang life gets a lot of 'coverage' in movies, music, etc., people who havent live that life hear about it a little and then think they know it all.  \n\nThats why you see phoney ass kids (typically white) who come from good neighborhoods claiming to be from this gang or the other, wearing colors, and kicking their s hi t to  the side, and thats why they end up getting killed.  hope that helps.

Because if you are like me, when I'm around people I don't seem to fit in.  I am not very sociable mainly because I am shy.  I am not not good with small talk.  When I am home I am not under all the pressure of trying to fit in and be sociable.

Well i dont hate anyone, but here in new zealand we have kids acting like american gangstas. In some ways its just plain funny and you know they grow out of it. I think its a shame that many 'gangsters' or wannabes have to be so negative.

I agree with you, and what never fails to amaze me is the number of young white middle class males who buy their stuff, and copy their idol's image. white  'gangsta wannabe's' are amusing additions to the street scene as long as you don't step on them.

i am almost like u i like to laugh have fun, and also sometimes don't get the jokes people or my friends say. I am very shy around girls and sometimes my friends like that and try to make me feel more comfortable. It gets kinda weird because wenever i am talking to anyone i like, or a teacher that is really i just have this smile that never leaves my face. I do good chatting w/ people and talking to them on the internet but when i meet them face to face i get really nervous especially w/ girls. I am not the kind who likes to talk a lot but i like the environment around me to be quite and calm.

the thing is to not go for the loud outgoing people, they usually like to think they're great and enjoying bragging about it. the best type of people hang back and if you don't look you won't find them. the nice guys are just out there waiting to be found, get talking to everyone you can find and you will soon discover one!
