I occasionally watch daytime talk shows. And in these shows, I see beautiful women (sometimes) with absolutely horrific guys that treat them terribly and do nothing to protect them. Guys who cheat with $2 prostitutes on their wives, and their wives are beautiful! Expose them to diseases, beat them, ignore their kids, and basically act like children who can't control their impulses. And the women beg for them back!

I am single, I think I am an intelligent guy that is decently good looking. I'm not very tall and I'm stocky/muscular, but most girls that I'm friends with tell me that I'm a good catch. (Of course, they could just be being nice ). I have a good job, a full head of hair, and no drugs/alcohol abuse. I would never dream of treating a lady this way. I'm not saying that I'm not strong willed or will never disagree with her. But disagreement or sticking to your beliefs is different than outwardly treating her like a ragdoll. Meeting women just seems so difficult. I've had 3 dates in the last year off a major dating service, and none worked out.

Is their some site where I can post my pics (anonymously) to see what women think of me, physically? I say physically because I can't even get a girl to write back on these online dating services. Also, if a woman doesn't respond back after you write to her once, is it okay to write to her again? Not continuously of course, but one more effort is okay? I see women that I match up with 100% in what their looking for (height, education, interests, etc) but I don't hear back from them.

I assume I have to work on my photos, as that seems to be the initial hurdle to overcome. I'm quite confident that once I can get on the phone with her, I can get to the next step (I have a good speaking voice, but I cannot usually get to this point! its beyond frustrating!) Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks

Switch off the damn tv... most of those people you see on there are freaks. Those women on there are not what you want. No way. Way too messed up in the head.

That's not going to be productive in any way.

Online dating is tough for the average man. So if you are below that, then it's going to be even tougher.

I think real world dating (networking and socializing) is a better bet.

Yea, don't pay attention to the TV. Reality TV is not real. Basing opinions on it is fruitless.

If you like, you can post your pics here. I'm sure you would get responses.

I agree. I am kinda on the shy side, and I'm mid-thirties, my guy friends are mostly married and can never go out and be my wing. I would say that I'm solidly average, 6 on a 10 scale all around.

hmmm... send me your picture I'll let you know... I am known for my brutall honesty

On the other hand, you could join some interest groups, meet up, and the like, where you'll meet real people with the same interests you have, and the first hurdle is over.

This really has nothing to do with it. I don't watch them all day- I work 3 - 10 pm, and I'll have the TV on while I have lunch.

Most of them are freaks, I agree. I don't want the women, I just want to understand what keeps these women coming back to these a-holes, when there are decent guys out there that would never treat women like that.
