I actually think one of the causes for divorce is that women aren't picky enough. Actually, people aren't picky enough, and that's a real shame.

When women say they can't find a decent man, it just means they can't find a decent man they're attracted to, that's attracted to them, that shares the same values, religious and political viewpoints, and all sorts of other areas of compatibility.
They're picky but they're picky about the wrong things such as height. This is why they're divorced at 35 and hence "Why can't I find a good man" is proclaimed. Men are the hunters..and women are the gatherers, women are just not good at the gathering part of it because they aren't properly taught about men when they are younger.
Also many women never had a father so this is makes the problem worse and is partially why they were never taught.

Well, then you have something in common with them. Some people don't take responsibility for their own situation, and you don't take responsibility for your unwarranted insulting remarks toward other forum members (i.e., Hurricane). You so casually throw out demeaning comments, i.e., "common denominator", further clarified by you as meaning not taking responsibility, but it was clearly unjustified.

I can't speak for Hurricane, he's probably forgotten about you by now.

What we're left with is a clear result: Is Broncos Quarterback big enough to acknowledge his own insulting behavior toward another forum member? We have our answer: No.

Broncos it's just as easy to lob accusations that the problem vaguely lies within as it is to say that the problem lies with others. I'm not sure what it is I'm doing wrong, if I'm doing anything wrong at all. I've been in various environments (high school, university out in California and now university here in the region where I grew up). My high school was pretty much all people who've grown up here and my current uni has people from all across the country. I'm not ugly (ask a few people on this forum and they'll testify that I'm no Brad Pitt but I'm not Quaismodo either). I like to think that in real-life conversation I come off as friendly and personable. So what part am I doing wrong?

For starters, why are you not at least in the sea, in the pool, or at the bar?!

He was stating a fact. We are all the common denominators in our lives. Little more is as obvious as that. Where you find it to be an insult, I find it to be a compliment.

Also, I think most people would prefer someone who's been "good" all along.
When it comes to relationships and women I've always been the same..I have never been a bad boy so I'm not a reformed bad boy. I have always liked nice girls and would prefer a woman that isn't a reformed bad girl.

I was at the pool for about an hour and a half earlier and my only company was a family of four. Perhaps I'll try the hotel pool tomorrow instead of the villa pool, it's got more activity. I doubt anyone's gonna approach me though :|

Well, these places are not great for guys your age, but did it ever occur to you that you can approach people, too?! Instead of wasting your time online, at least practice general social skills - talk to people! For real!!!! Young, old, kids, men, women... doesn't matter... Just talk to people!

I'm also curious where maturation comes into play here.
Agreed.

This might sound goofy, but would you want to date you? This was a question I asked myself many moons ago. I know many folk are of the mind of oppositeā€™s attracting, but I've always been a likes with likes kind of person. So, I thought to myself, what (qualities, hobbies, career, education, worldview, etc) do I want in a partner? Then, to the best of my ability, I set out to become that person. Of course, this might not work for guys.
