nothing will attract women to me, what do I have to offer?

I make a meager $14 an hr as a casino security guard, I have a crappy apt in a complex full of drug dealers and gang bangers, I dont have a fat bank acct or a fast car, I dont have the body of a god, or any tattoos, and most of all im awkward as f+ck socially

Why would any woman want me

If you go through life without reaching out or approaching women, most likely you'll never get anywhere.
Nicely said. women like to be treated well first, courted...its an art ..OP ur prolly not in a great state to meet "non-escort" women...divorce is at an all time high , give urself some time and go with the flow....dont take it too seriously.

I forgot his name but do you realize that one of the biggest womanizers in modern history was a doorman at a upscale hotel. He slept with thousands of women that he would shag in vacant hotel rooms.

Dude, you are in a goldmine. You work at a casino which means there are lots of drunk women walking around on vacation and away from home.

All you need to to is chit chat with any woman you see who is alone and show her a good time ( and she might offer to pay).

As far as what girl to target, start out trying to spot a woman who has same level of self esteem as you do because if you aim for a really hot girl who has a much higher self esteem then you, you will not be able to handle her.

Are you studying? If not, is there a chance of promotion in your job while you look for something else? As a guy, you just can’t rely on looking nice and being friendly. What other options have you considered for a job?

No woman I've met is interested because I lack confidence and am now unemployed. Oh, and as for the online route, that is ALL I've tried, and it isn't working. There is too much competition from guys who have thriving careers and haven't been married before.

Yes, I am picky. I'm picky because I'm looking for a wife, not just a fling. So why shouldn't I be picky?
How long were you together? When was the divorce? If you are unemployed then why should you even worry about women at this point?

Sure, you can be picky but remember the online is not working for your which means they are picky too.

Why meet a woman, even one online, only to find out she doesn't want to see me again because I'm unemployed (even though most women wouldn't give that as the reason)? I don't want to find myself interested in someone and face more rejection. I am picky on looks too, but thats subjective. Many men prefer blondes, and I strongly prefer brunettes, for example. But like I said, it doesn't matter at this point.
So are you getting unemployment? You live in Atlanta and what kind of job are you looking for? Why not get something different still work? Work for lesser pay for now? Like I said earlier, you can be picky as much as you want. They are picky too so why complain?

We were together 7 years. Divorce was 2 years ago, and I'm still not over it. As for being unemployed, I've been told over and over to not let that stop me and that the right woman won't care so much, as long as I'm trying to change the circumstances. But I completely disagree, so life is on hold until I get a job, and at this rate, that could be years. Am I really supposed to just stop living and stop dating until that happens? I guess so. Thats certainly what I've done.

$14 is pretty good actually especially in Las Vegas where the job and housing market is a disaster. Fast cars means nothing. You can workout to get a built and diet, etc. You need to work on yourself first. Do stuff you can control.

This gets really tiring! There WAS a job you didn't take!

I have been in your boat, never married but together. Stuff happens, its common. 2 years is not a long time after 7 years. So with time, it should get better. Work on getting employed at this time. If you find someone now, it will show your lack of confidence in the relationship from your past which will lead to more disaster. There are other things to do then women.
