ITT: I become a 'Yes Man' for a month.

[Awarebrahhh]

Do you accept to kiss the girl before the play starts on thursday?

[SimonThePieman]

Good for you OP, that movie actually kinda impacted me. Stupid flick, awesome idea.

I'd suggest you amend that you won't say yes to things that would compromise your morality or safety

If you're taking requests from the thread


I'm requesting that you pay a compliment to every person you speak to for more than five seconds tomorrow. If the conversation is more than a hello, say something nice about the person's outfit/behavior/etc.


Challenge accepted? Every single person.

read the book. Even if you don't normally read. Its soooooooooooooooo funny and more like a funny mate telling you a story. In all honestly its quite similar to the OPs musings except dare i say, funnier.

Will you say yes, Jake?

[Hctap]

Would you buy a global gathering ticket and go there on your own? I'll be there with about 7 mates, if you went and we seen you it would be funny as phuck, consider it atleast, aint that far from you either im guessing

If I can get the time off work I'll go. I get cheap as phuck ticketz cuz, dat der noise pollution .

would love to do this but...

I am in a 8 year relationship and if I do everything friends ask the bish will get mad or ask me to stay with her at home.

What do?

What do? Do it bro! You never know what will happen unless you try it. Do you find being in a relationship which is constantly making you say no fullfilling?

there is only one answer

YES!

I suggest you read the book by Danny Wallace then bro, it's a good easy read. And sure, challenge accepted! Will be fun when I go shopping, speaking to cashiers etc.

Would say yes, but we're not going to the play on Thursday, and looks like we might not be going next week cause it's not on next week apparently. Either way, we're still on for a date, actually texting her right this second.

I dont always have to say no, i go out and hang with friends alot, but lettuce be cereal, how many guys in a relationship could say yes to everything friends want to do and everything be OK. I need a balance so I can do this, or kill my Bish.

P.S. we own a home together its not like we live seperate.

[ascension666]

Don't forget it doesn't go well for Jim Carrey's character in that movie!

Totally understand, find a compromise. Rather than saying yes to everything just change your mindset so that you're more open to everything. If going out with your pals is gonna cause a conflict between you and your mrs, perhaps reconsider accepting the invite. What I've learnt from my short time of saying yes is that it's all really about being open to suggestions and ideas that you would have instantly dismissed at first, so if it's something you'd usually say no to, say yes.

Good on you OP - I realize this thread is old as fuk so I guess I went full retard, when I have time i'll sit down and read your updates.

The random compliments thing ironically ends up making you feel good yourself. Just make sure they're sincere even if it's something totally stupid and trivial.

[Harloe]

Cliffs on how this has worked out so far?
Anything cool happen?

[user265]

why don't you post this on your ******** so that people you know can actually have an impact on you...

Yeah I know what you mean, man. When I gave the tramp all the money in my pockets (only a few £'s but anyway) I felt phucking amazing. Like I'd just saved the world.

Check page 8 dude, there's a compilation of updates there.

Someone posted a very good reason why something like this shouldn't be done, I'll find the post and edit this reply when I do.

Edit: here's the post:

This is a good idea, OP. Forget about people trolling you with stupid suggestions and you being locked into this. That's the opposite of what this is about. It's about your response to people who have no idea about this. If you tell them you're doing it, it stops working

good luck

Ratfish pretty much summed it up perfectly. If you tell people you're doing it it stops working and it becomes more about people taking advantage of your situation rather than things happening because you said yes to the opportunities.

Seriously? you must live pretty close then brah? its similar for me but for glastonbury festival if you ever been, get cheaper
tickets, better parking etc. but yeah that would be keen as phuck if you went, i was gunna make a global gathering thread too see if anyone on here is going but due to combination of join date, posts and reps probably best leave it to someone else. Any way keep up the good work with your saying yes goals, imagine all the things you could say yes too at global gathering!

Yeah man, very very close. Go make the thread dude, only *******s care about posts/rep power/join dates, can't imagine they'd be too much fun to meet at a festival anyway!

Already had it suggested to me and unfortunately had to turn it down. It's something I've always dreamed of doing and would love to try but I wouldn't get insured to do it as I had heart surgery two years ago. Enjoy the jump tho mate, experience of a lifetime!

[SimonThePieman]

You said you are allowed to say no to drugs, right? Otherwise cream fields is going to get messy.

PS Reps for life.

[Lovol]

interdasting, good luck with that. tried it before, didn't work out so well.

Haha yeah, I'm not going to be taking anything, just drinking. As I mentioned, I've had heart surgery, I'm probably pushing it enough living the life I'm living at the moment, popping pills is pretty much just asking the death to come and phuck me.

You can't skydive because of that medical condition? That includes bungie jumping or zip lining?

[josh120]

Subbed and starting this tomorrow OP. this seems awesome.

[StarvingGluuten]

Anything that will make his heart go into over drive i would think

[SimonThePieman]

I've done 2 sky dives. Awesome. The scariest bit is the few seconds before you jump

[LurkingBrah]

Give it a go, bro! Do what I did, change your screen saver to Yes, surround yourself with little reminders that you're saying yes, it really helps.

So with this advice have decided to start it off.. however, one of my friends/neighbours who lives near me constantly asks me to play PS3/PC games with him online to the point where I just started making random stuff up a few weeks ago so that I could so something more productive. What would you do? I mean, it seems like an obvious choice to say yes but afaik it's somewhat prohibiting opportunities, lol.
