How does he get girls so easily?

You must have a hard time with women to post such drivel.
Without him doing a thing? He was waxing "profoundly" (relative to his age of course) at a high school party where everyone else was busy probably getting drunk, high, and hooking up. He shared something intellectual with this girl he ended up talking, and they vibed. Funnily enough, it's also what she ended up getting sick of in the end, based on her hooking up with others once college crept in. And she said she was tired of his gloomy outlook all the time. Ah, but for the shine of a new relationship to wear off. We've all been there.
And then there was the college girl. They spent time together with the couple in the canyon and I think it's natural for kids who are away from home for the first time to sort of cling to the people they first come in contact with. It wasn't like the movie indicated this would be some crazy longterm thing, or even that it would go anywhere at all. Just that he met someone and onward with life.
There's also something to be said of a mysterious loner though. The movie clearly showed he wasn't considered the "cool" kid, as indicated by the bullying in the bathroom. Mason marched to the beat of his own drum. He didn't try too hard.
And finally, Mason did move around often in his childhood, and I distinctly remember the buzz whenever a "new kid" came into a class of familiar neighborhood faces. It was always exciting to see how that new kid would fit into the group and who thought he or she was cute and so forth.
Again, you probably have a hard time with women, so you see Mason getting two girls in this movie as something unattainable or unrealistic. -

I didn't necessarily think it was unrealistic for him to get girls. It was just kind of annoying that he complained all the time even though he was getting with hot girls. I mean, jeez, your life isn't that bad kid. Stop whining.

Speaking as a woman who was once a girl Mason's age too:
He's a good looking guy, at least, I would have had that opiniong of him back when I was his age. He's cute in an emo way. He has a pretty face.
He's also the laid-back, artistic, sensitive type. Not all girls like or want jocks and macho guys and "hard men." Not all girls want confident loudmouths. Some positively are drawn to the opposite.
I can totally and completely see Mason's cute, artistic emo appeal to the same type of girl. -

No numbers game. No hitting the gym. No grind. Apparently no girl Mason comes into contact with can resist his hands-in-pockets, emo hipster schtick. rolls eyes
First the high school girlfriend falls in his lap without him doing a damn thing. Then the FIRST girl he's introduced to at college acts like a besotted groupie around him. I wanted to yell at the T.V. screen when she was biting her lip waiting for him to kiss her.
Maybe it shouldn't bother me, but it does. I can't stand bullsh*t. Particularly when something that's incredibly rare and difficult to achieve (in this case a sexual/romantic relationship with an attractive girl) is portrayed as easy.
Mason is beautiful, but he's not boastful about it. He's not boastful about
anything
, really - there's in fact a quiet power to him, which is appealing. He's an observer, which ultimately manifests itself, creatively, in the form of photography. I could see a great
many
women being drawn to him. -

ask them questions, be interested in them.
oh, yeah..all older parent figure guys give you that advice.
Ask them about themselves, let them bang on forever about themselvesdon't interrupt.They love that.
Some guy who was selling some kind of sure-fire pickup book/video a few years back, also said something about actually looking at their mouthes when they are talking to youalmost like a dental examinationsaid it does something to them.
Not sure what. -

When I was in High school I was a dork and nobody really showed any interest in me, except girls who were definitely not my type and most often they were just playing and didn't mean it, which still hurt. I reluctantly asked this girl to the prom and then she asked me to her senior ball (she was a senior when I was a junior). But we just went as friends. And she wasn't really my type. Not sure whatever happened to her. I used to see her walking around my neighborhood all the time but last time I saw her was maybe 6 years ago.
But now, many moons later (I'm turning 28 in less than 5 months) I've gotten in good shape and feel much more confident about myself, personality wise and looks wise. I've put myself out there on Tinder and OKcupid. I have gone on many dates, most of which didn't work out, but there were a couple that did last for a short while, and resulted in me getting laid. A lot of those girls turned out to be bitches. Some stopped talking to me for no reason. Others blocked me for no reason, when I simply asked how the day was. If I was being a creep then that's different. But there were a couple who broke it off with me for reasons that I understood. I was bummed but I got over it. I was going out with this girl a couple months ago but right after New Years I guess the chemistry just faded away and I don't think we're going to see each other again. She barely returns my texts. I'm not going to push it anymore. But as Dory the fish says, just keep swimming.

I thought the ending was ridiculous:
As soon as he gets to college, him room mate's gf just HAPPENS to have a cute single room mate that's interested in him? Please. And it beautifully times following Ethan Hawkes's "the right one will come along that appreciates you" speech.
