And please don't start in with the personal cheap shots.
i am not one that women would normally consider dating material, but because i treat women the way i do, i get all the dates i want. and i have had relationships where the women chased me early on. but you cant just show an interest, you have to HAVE a genuine interest in the women you want.

and i wouldnt argue when the WOMEN tell you what works with them, i would figure out what i am doing wrong and make changes to do it better(men never really do it right, but we can always do it better).

Whatever. I can't even tell you how wrong you are.

I have been rejected by women that I have gotten to know over a long time who I have had many things in common with and bonded.

I have been rejected by women who have called me awesome, easy to talk to, inspiring to them. None of this is exaggerated. All verbatim.

Which is fine by me. That's just the way the game works. But to tout your theory and to think some kid is going to read your post and be assured that hottie is going to like him because he genuinely likes her and yes, appreciates her as a person and bonds with her?

Nothing could be further off. It's just lunacy. It's not true for men either.

I tried starting communicating with you, I think you answered once and it died completely. It doesn't even matter if you had all sorts of preconceived notions about what it meant that I was pm'ing you, you just quit talking to me. I could have at least been a friend. And why close the door on a friendship?
I don't understand you either.
Here you are, always lamenting your love life, but you pretty much closed the door in MY face.
I don't get it.
Do you LOVE being a sad sack or what?
There were no preconceived notions in my thinking. I read it as a suggestion, that was basically it.

There was no "shooting down" as there was nothing that hinted that she had interest in me. If there was any, I didn't see it and I've said many times here that I do not know what it's like being approached, as I've never been. It's also on the internet, which is even more difficult to be more subtle, since I can't READ PEOPLE online.

You've missed the story line on this thread. Once you have a date, the way to keep her interested in you is to demonstrate a true interest in her. That can be captivating.

Oh, I'm sorry if I sounded like I was taking a cheap shot...I sincerely do not get why some men who come here regularly have a drum they beat - same beat over and over - I don't get why they don't just try to implement some of these ideas? Sure it might not work immediately and for everyone you meet, but, there are lots and lots of people in the world. There is most certainly someone who will appeal to you and someone you will appeal to.

Have you ever heard the phrase 'necessary but not sufficient'?

Well, Froggy, I took down my post because I realized that it seemed like I was putting you down. I didn't really want to do that. I know you have a hard time with dating, and I don't know you personally, so, everything you say could be true.
I have often seen in real life that there are all kinds of different looking people, together as couples. In my mind, YES, it is true that a long lasting and good relationship does not have to be based on looks.
I don't consider myself to be all that good looking, and have my suspicions. But, I don't lament it much because I am aiming to improve what I have.
I will never be someone or something else, but I'm determined to believe the person that I am will be just right for the right person for me.
And as we know, its been a really really long time of thinking that way, which is fairly positive, yes, but I haven't really made much effort.
I know that will change soon, and I'm gearing up for it. I would hope that everyone who has lost 'hope' can at least gain some kind of hope from at least one person showing progress, that would be not giving up.
I don't think you should give up either, Froggy. But if you do, then thats really your business and your life.
When I started a conversation with you, it was just that, a conversation. But, all things start with a conversation.
