Or does he have a life and not on here like the rest of us? Hmmm lol

OP, you are thinking about this all wrong. It is not about you pursuing one woman along with 99 other dudes.

It is about you pursuing 10 women, some of who, will break up and date more than one guy.

The world is not a static place. Meet people, ask women out, get rejected, try again, get lucky, get dumped, try again, find true love.

Thank-you.

The net on the phone does make it easy to access this forum. Plus you can do things more while on the phone.

What about people with cronically bad luck? I do believe that is a "thing". I don't believe that life is a level/even playing field.

While your number appears to be correct for women, unfortunately men are 10% higher.

WIN - Statistics

Well there ya go. If OP is unwilling to date a porker, as he states, the he is pretty much up sht creek without a paddle.

I believe that while life is not an even playing field, we all have our own choices to make given where we are in life. Even inaction is a choice.

IMO, chronic bad luck is something you're bringing onto yourself, whether consciously or subconsciously. You're not an innocent bystander to the things that happen to you in life.

We do have some control but the older I get the more that I see how that control is limited. At this point I would say that success is 80% luck and 20% work. Work without luck is dead.

idk, OP--what's the point of rolling out of bed in the morning?

Go for the women who don't have so many men fighting for their attention. Simple.

OP? Are you there?
