Long as they are mentally stable who gives a crap about finacially stable - those that have it together in mind and spirit are the ones you want - the material part will take care of itself.

I asked because generally attract like-minded people, so if you're unstable, I can't imagine you're attracting stable people, you know, the kind you have healthy relationships with...

What do you bring to the table that would have a person wanting to be with you romantically: Are you interesting, funny, charming, charismatic, and fun to be around?

What life do you bring to the table that would have a person wanting to be a part of it: Do you have an active social life, worthwhile social circle, and appealing life experiences?

The women I know want a physical connection.
Do you approach any woman no matter what she looks like to see if she has stability and what she can bring potentially to a relationship? If not then don't ask someone to do what you can't.

The women I know want a mental connection.
That's where compatibility comes in and the can't get a second date hints at incompatibility.
Or it could be your behavior was a turn off, the way you treat it, the conversation was boring/stale/awkward, and/or the dinner was off putting.

The women I know want an emotional connection.
That's where personality & enjoying being around him comes in.
The can't get a second date hints at they don't like your personality or enjoy being around you.
Or it could be that the date was unenjoyable so that lacking experience was connected to you therefore you're unenjoyable.
Since you want women to look past your appearance you're going to have to step up in the mental and emotional connection bits.
And the women you know will always be on dating services because there is no PERFECT MAN

No second date for online dates simply means you're either older/look older than you claimed, shorter than you claimed, or have bad manners.

You can keep telling yourself that but it doesn't make it true.

I have the perfect man, for me. He is intelligent, witty, attractive (in my eyes, not necessarily in others). He is a hard worker, has a decent job, owns his own home and car. He is kind, considerate, thoughtful, respectful, worldly, has ambition, a variety of interests. These men do exist out there.

If you're not that, you have to find your path in life that makes you desirable to someone you'd also like to be with, rather than making sweeping generalizations about the rest of the population based on your limited successes.

Stable people are way overrated anyway. They tend to be preaching bores.

Jealousy is SUCH an unattractive quality.
