Yeah. You may be onto something. Many will have to keep waiting and looking. Maybe people should buy stocks in companies that make vibrators, the same way that people joked about buying stocks in condom companies when the AIDS crisis hit.

This post, thus far, wins the d-b award. I see Long Island, big earrings, and gum smacking.

Why? Why is that not a possibility?

I don't know if it is or not. But telling someone in cyberspace who has not provide a picture they are unattractive is really uncool. Making a comment about personality based on posts is "above the belt." That comment wasn't.

My hunch is that he's very conservative/studious/clean-cut looking and these chicks aren't biting. If he was as negative as our Long Island poster indicated, he wouldn't get the first date to begin with.

Women have no idea what they want... but if we look at what men most women seem to yearn for, he's usually
*quite wealthy
*has socially high status
*at least fairly good looks

You are probably boring. Even if you were ugly you would get a second date if she had a good time. I've gone on second dates with girls who I thought were average looking if she was good fun. You never know, maybe they were having a bad hair day or something.

Dating is all about personality. You have to have a base level of attractiveness and hygience. If you look great then all the better, but as long as you don't look like a ****ing corpse and you can stir up a decent conversation you will succeed.

Go on more dates. The more you go on the better you will get. NEVER give up. You will succeed in the end. I did.

i'm baffled as to why you're not married

maybe you need to move to a city where's theres a higher woman-man ratio.

and i know some of us love Brad Pitt, but you don't have to be Brad to catch a woman. what about the billions of other guys in your age group who don't look like Brad? a lot of them have wive/girlfriends.

it must be something the women are picking up on when they go out with you. just sit and think about all the dates you've been on and see if you can find a common denominator. what do you usually talk about? where do you usually take them?, etc.,

remember what you've done in the past and next time try something different.

All the time that he was talking to her, he was standing there with his hand in his pocket, scratching and fondling himself.

I later asked her about it, and she said that he was gross. All she could hear while he was talking to her was his scratching. I concluded that he either had a serious psychological condition or an itchy STD.
LOL!!!
Best laugh I had all day!

What do you have to bring to a relationship? Having a stable job and being a nice guy does not make a total package. What legacy/mark do you want to leave in this world? Do you have good morals and values.
Other questions? How is your personality? If you can't get a second date and you are this nice/good guy maybe you're too intense, boring, serious, not engaging, don't ask the right questions. I'm not trying to pick on you but in the dating game it's about tweaking your approach so you maximize your results and get what you desire. Maybe you should check out past episodes and advice from the show: the pickup artist.
Good luck.
