Richey, thanks for the feedback. I'd heard some similar things from other people so I've made some changes to the site:

-I've reworded sections of the article on geeky and nerdy traits to emphasize that I only have a problem with their negative traits, not them as people overall.

-I took down the 'Skills and Interests of Cooler Guys' article and put up two new ones that get my point across better: That you should improve yourself as a person (cool guys often have legitmate strengths) and that certain areas of skill and knowledge are socially practical to have (e.g., sports and dancing may not be your thing, but it's hard to argue they can help you get along with people).

-I'll be putting up another article soon to further clarify my views on changing and being true to yourself (it's not really an issue, your true self always shines through, even if you make superficial changes)

Hopefully these will make my site more useful and friendly to its readers.

It is a good site and I read it through a couple of days ago. It really motivated me and I will definately use some of the advice provided.

If I were to complain about something it would probably be what has been already mentioned.

However, a big thanks to you for putting the site up.

The site is now named www.succeedsocially.com. Same info, but without the corny misleading name.

Hi Chris. Im A psychology student, thats why im here, so i cam to ur post. Now i mean...... ur bit about hobbies and not to talk about it too aften etc etc, seems to me like rather than providing tips on turning your negatives into positives, uve sorta told people to get new personalities? i can see exactly where ur commin from and what ur trying to get out, but i think u need to generalise more, theres nuffin wrong with with havin a hobby ur very passionate about, but knowing when to talk about it or express it. coz to be honest, how many times a day u do ur hobby has nuffin to do with ur social skills what so ever. just how much u talk about it can be put offish, i think thats what u were gettin at? but most normal people woundnt introduce themselelfs like 'hi im a star wars fan' lol.

i would love to get involved with what ur doing though, u do make some good points.

But people....remember. shyness is not ur personality, its the way in which you express it. over coming shyness is changing the way u express urself. ta x
