That still doesn't mean that every woman you speak with is looking for an out because she finds you physically unattractive. Unless each one of those women told you that she finds you ugly, I won't believe that all those women were thinking that way.

What do you talk about with these women and where are you meeting them? If these conversations haven't worked, have you ever thought about changing your approach or venue?

It just sounds like you need to branch out a little. Not every woman in the world is going to find you unattractive.

Well, given the lengths men go to to avoid making eye contact with me and that my last stint with online dating (Match) resulted in just over 1,000 profile views (in 3 months), with the only messages I received being from a scammer in Florida and one in Chicago, and of course, the wisdom gained on this board, I'm either super hot or beyond ugly.

The bottom line is if someone doesn't think you're attractive, they are not likely going to be interested. I have girl friends who tell me they don't understand why I'm not approached more because they find me rather attractive-in fact, I get hit on by women far more than I do men. Men, however, are simply not physically attracted to me for whatever reason. It's frustrating because I can't fix what's broken if no one can tell me what it is.

I just aim to make myself as attractive as reasonably possible. It helps that it's apparent I care and do my best with what I'm given.

I.e. in shape, well groomed, well dressed, good hygiene, etc.

Beyond that it's stupid and wasteful to concern ones self with attributes that cannot be controlled.

I.e. height, hairline, nose, and other typically unchangeable attributes.

The problem is that far too many people complain about about the unchangeable attributes when in reality there's tons of things that can be changed that they choose not to.

It's much easier for many to complain and do nothing.

So you can't look in the mirror and be critical of what you can change?

Could you need braces? To lose weight? More exercise? Better skin care? Different hair cut, style, color? Better clothes?

Personally for most people, especially women (because I think men are more superficial) even if a woman's face isn't that hot, if she is in killer shape it will help a ton and make up for other areas lacked.

Pretty much.

I think maybe they needed to hear a woman say it to really believe it.

Branching out doesn't mean you're going to get rejected. You don't even need to ask out a woman, but I think it would do some good to do something outside of your social circle to meet some new people and have some fun. If you meet a woman from it, that's just a bonus.
