Well I don't even think George Clooney is all that. But I am a woman so I must want him. You too.

Yes, that is very true. I met this guy, he was a fat, bald, divorced pharmacist. No chemistry for either one of us...I was fine with it. Stayed his friend. So, he meets a friend of mine, who is smoking hot, young, and extremely sexy. He falls hard for her. She has zip interest in him. And he continues to lament how he "can't meet any women"....reality check....he can meet women, just he needs to stay with meeting women his age, and ones that have a few extra pounds. He is not George Clooney. And BTW, I felt his main problem was how incredibly boring he was...zip on the social skills. No one wants to hear you talk about your divorce.

I'm not saying there are no available women, I'm just saying I never find any who are available and attractive to me. And why would I want to date someone I'm not attracted to?

And why would she? So I guess you see the problem here.

I would never expect someone to date me if they didn't find me attractive.

And obviously the women you find attractive don't find you attractive or you'd have hooked up by now. Correct?

So something isn't working out, here.

Correct, but I can't help who I find attractive. I'm either attracted to them or not; it just happens on its own.

Edit: And the thing is, while I see plenty of women I find physically attractive, I almost never meet one who has a personality I find attractive as well. And when I do, yep, she's never available.

Look, Lamplight, what I'm trying to say is this: you will eventually probably look deeper than the surface of a woman to find what's actually "attractive," because eventually, you'll figure out that looking at the outside isn't working. And it's likely that at around that time, there will be some average, sweet girl doing the same from her end. And you will hook up.

Yeah, I know, settling, blah blah, yadda yadda. The overwhelming majority of the world is average (that's why they call it "average"). Look beneath the surface because if you haven't already been getting the soopa-hotties, you're probably not going to.

The girl for you is out there and you WILL be attracted to her.

Yes you can. You can look below the surface to find out what you really find attractive, long-term.

Or not. You could keep walking around lonely.
