Take it in stride, and learn from it. Glad you posted it so I can learn from it too.

Hahaha sorry but that really cracked me up! I was going to reply with 'Wow you really handled that well!' but then I got to the end of the post! Dude, that's her bitch shield - she was screening you for congruence. She gives shit tests, and you plough through them to prove you're a guy worthy of her attention. I have to say, you did amazingly well with the first shit-tests, but then you caved and ejected.
'Look if you don't like it you can leave the table'
'Oh no, I love an antagonistic attitude!' said with a smile
'So, was this girl psycho or is it true that all girls don't like people to have "bad" pictures of them?' to her friend.
If you get this problem often, then you might want to use a shorter opener. Personally I find long openers only hook well if they have a lot of funny material in them, and the opener you used isn't the best for humour. You did well to break through those initial shit tests if you're new to this, so don't beat yourself up. Next time, keep plowing just a little further!

I think you did great for a first approach -- you showed a lot of poise! Most newbies (myself included) would have probably been blown out by those first shit tests.
However, I really thought you ended on a sour note. Style has a really good saying: "there is no such thing as a bitch." You never need to tell a girl to "fuck off" or get angry.
This is why we call it the GAME. You would never get emotionally flustered and tell a video game to fuck off if you failed to get to the next level. You shouldn't treat this any differently.
Even if the girls were completely rude to you, I think you should end every interaction with "pleasure meeting you." Telling her to fuck off lets her know that she totally has power over your world. You probably meant to express that her rejection doesn't mean anything to you, but your emotionalism tells her otherwise.

HB: I don't think you do, I am a nice person and that is why I have let you go on this long but you need to get to the point (as if she had better things to do)
ME: Basically was this girl psycho or is it true that all girls don't like people to have "bad" pictures of them.
-That was the main problem to me- even though she may have been right, you totally seemed to give her a needy attitude giving her the control, and then actually getting to the point, as if saving her time as if she really did have better things to do.
But you did your best and you posted it- well done.

You're not a serious gamer, huh? :D

lol i do all sorts of weird shit when playing a game (though it's usually only if a poor design flaw means i died or whatever it is that annoyed me) usually resulting in me shouting at the tv as if it can listen to my problems and fix the game accordingly lol
