Then obviously that's not enough, right?


It's clear that good looking/successful/driven/intelligent/friendly/great character is not nearly enough. There's a certain X Factor trait that I'm missing that I need to get in order to attract women, my job is to find out what that is

I'm just missing something, maybe a certain series of traits that makes me very unappealing to women when I'm first talking to them

Don't approach her at the gym - she's just trying to work out
Don't approach her at the bar/club - she's just there to have fun with her friends
Don't approach her on the street - it's creepy
Don't approach her at every other location imaginable because of X, Y and Z reasons



So what's going on here? Do 99.99% of people just find their partner through their small social circle? Are you doomed to be alone if you don't have any friends who know single girls?


I don't mean to sound bitter in the slightest bit, just curious what one is supposed to do

Don't approach those types of females. They're doing you a favor, and when they're older and still single and wonder why they are still not in a relationship or married, hopefully they can look back and see how stand offish they were. Just go to the next one; life is about lessons-- hits and misses. You're going to miss your target most of the time, but that makes hitting it all the better

Perhaps you seem as unhappy and resentful in real life as you do here. Those are massive turnoffs.

Not at all. I have nothing to be unhappy or resentful about in real life


I'm actually very very grateful for what I have and what I have been given. If one aspect of my life (dating) is a complete catastrophe but the rest of my life is going as well as I could have possibly hoped for, then I think things are still going great overall

Women cannot stand men, and only allow us in their lives because they need something.
Women don't like being approached by men, and prefer to talk to a brick wall instead.
Women want certain qualities in men then deny men with said qualities--and they joke about it later with other women.
Etc. Etc.

How is that for truth?

Perfect post right there

It seems that the only possible answer in your mind is that it's everyone else's fault and there is no possible way for you to get a girlfriend. Yet TONS of guys have girlfriends and wives.
I have a feeling he comes off as desperate without really realizing it. Most women don't respond well to pushy men.

Either that, or he's not as good looking or well-liked as he seems to think.

That used to be part of the problem but I've worked very hard on eliminating that


Now I just try to act myself. The nice thing is that I've made a lot more female friends over the last year than before (I have now 2 friends who are single girls as well as all my friends' girlfriends, wives and sisters all love me) but it hasn't helped me at all in my dating life

I think you are both right.

OP I get the feeling you don't have a lot of self reflection, that you actually think you are better than you really are. On this forum you come across as entitled, whiny and kind of petulant. And at the age of 23 you really seem utterly desperate which is highly unpleasant to watch in here, I can only imagine how yucky it is in real life.

Maybe you should take a break from all the women stuff and just enjoy your life as it is instead of constantly whinging about your lack of action.
