I will give you a real-life story that took place a few months ago. My fitness center has this separate room they call Cardiac Theater. Out in the fitness center lobby they have a sign posting the name of the film being shown that day. One evening I was sitting in the lobby waiting to cool off after a work-out when some guy came through the door, stopped to look at the name of the movie featured (it was the film 50/50), and then quietly joked to me, "Is that the name of the movie, or the odds that I'll survive my work-out?" I could not help but giggle.

In speaking one three second sentence he showed that he was personable, humorous, and was self-effacingly modest. I may not have instantaneously fallen in love with him, but he made it all but impossible for me to be harsh or abrupt. And I still remember the moment, obviously.

A man's dating value to you is his ability to come up with a witty one liner on the spot?

Now you're just making excuses. You don't want to do sports clubs and volunteering? What, you don't want to help the world and have fun, and compete? Yeah right, women can just walk 5 ft outside You know, they do it have it easier, but at the same time, they have to do stuff like this to meet an SO too. Not too many people meet an SO via the street.

I have a lot of fun when I interact with people but I can't do the silly one liners


For some reason, it never stopped me from having a million friends but I guess you need to be a standup comic to get a girlfriend

Not necessarily. I'm not really witty and I do okay.

Not really, I have 2 free days a week and need the time to recover, relax and do errands

Religion is a complete fraud

Not a bad choice for those who believe in that fraud however

Yup - men have it so hard. All a woman has to do is walk outside her door - and there are 20 wonderful men on bended knee waiting to propose!

And there are no ways for you to approach women and there is nothing that will work. All men say this. Yup.

That's funny, but pretty ordinary. Anybody with a self-effacing type of humor can pull this off. I said something like that when I first met my last GF and I'm def no comedian.
