How about you just get on with your life? Seriously.
I'm not being mean - I'm just saying you should build a happy life for yourself. Sure, being single is probably detracting from your happiness in some ways, but just concentrate on being happy overall. I have a friend who thinks his single status is the root of his unhappiness, but it's really just a SYMPTOM of it.
I'm perfectly happy outside of my dating struggles so you're preaching to the choir here

Join some groups or teams. Develop some hobbies.
I already do this

Maybe create a thoughtfully put-together dating profile on a website and contact women selectively based on their full profile, not just on whether you like their picture.
I tried this in the past and it resulted in about 50 rejections

Oh, and cold approaches are fine if done respectfully, but they are inefficient in my view. Yeah, you might be attracted to the person, but unless they have other things in common with you, it's not going to lead to anything permanent. And it's hard to tell if you have something in common with another person just by looking at them.
I have a huge range of interests so I can get along with most people

Then just be patient and persistent. It will happen for you. If you're truly happy in your life and with who you are, and you're not a horrible person (who is just happy being awful), someone is going to recognize that as long as you keep putting yourself out there. I truly think it's that whiff of desperation that a lot of people exude that sends potential romantic partners scurrying. I know that was my problem about a decade ago, and I currently will zip faster than the Roadrunner if I get even a scent of it from a potential partner.
Look, that guy I mentioned in my previous post is a GREAT guy. He's not bad looking at all (not my type, but he IS perfectly acceptable), and he's very sweet and funny. He's intelligent and kind. But he is DESPERATE. He has huge voids in his life, and he is hoping someone else will come along to fill those voids. You sound like you're handling your own ****, and I think good things will come to you because of that. Eventually. Just keep doing what you're doing and try new things as they occur to you.
Now, if you just want to get laid, just go on Plenty of Fish or whatever it is the kids are doing these days
I absolutely love hearing women talk about rejection
They make it seem like rejection is nothing bad, that any man who doesn't want to get rejected a 100 times is a coward, yet 99.9% of women utterly despise rejection and will avoid it like the bubonic plague. It is just hilarious hypocrisy. You hear stories of girls having a crush on a guy for months and even years and never doing ANYTHING about it because they are so terrified of rejection
Stop the hypocrisy guys
Yep. You know so much about my gender. That's why you can't get a girlfriend or even a date despite how supposedly fun, outgoing, and good looking you are. Rejection is part of dating for men and women. No one likes rejection, but it is part of putting yourself out there. You presuming to know so much about how women think and act when you can't get any of them interested in you to save your life is really entertaining. Carry on.

You have to admit lots of women are hypocritical about rejection. They act like it's nothing to worry about and men are cowards for not enjoying rejection yet they won't even say "Hi" to a guy they have a crush on because they hate rejection so much

And this hypothesis is based on what? I know a lot of women who will make the first move, or at least make their interest known to a guy they like. No one enjoys rejection. If you want to meet someone you have to put yourself out there and face rejection. There is no way to avoid rejection. You can either accept that it's part of life or you can refuse to put yourself out there and carry on here complaining. It really is that simple.
