Truth be told, I am neither angry nor envious nor bitter. In the past I will admit to a certain amount of despair and a level of profound sadness, but I was never angry...not sure where you are getting that vibe from? In any event and to set the record straight, I am also not presently single, if that makes a difference as well. (When I spoke about friends not being willing to hook me up, I was referring to prior events in the past, not in the present.)
Please be aware of all the facts zentropa, before you pronounce or render judgment
So you finally met your Internet girlfriend in the flesh?

That is correct, there was an in-person meeting with one girl that I was very attracted to, that I had initially gotten to know better and had originally fallen in love with, online. For obvious privacy reasons and for her benefit, I will not elaborate further, though
This may be the problem with some of the regulars we have here who are afraid to approach women, or who believe they're not attractive to women because women never approach them. Expecting the world to come to you is unrealistic. And to form a belief about yourself because an aspect of your life doesn't fall in your lap is irrational. Insightful post.
Zentropa's post seems to lack critical insight and reads as mere guesswork meant to label others.

IDK. To me it reads like a psych pamphlet. She's just stating facts about narcissism. If I'm not mistaken, she works in a health- or psych-related field. It thought it was useful info.

Some of these guys know that and just don't date, but focus on other aspects on their lives.

Well, what about the ones that do approach time and time again and face constant rejection? Do you think that may also have something with not so much a fear of women, but sheer apathy towards trying to figure them out?
When you go through a dating/relationship slump, sometimes you want nothing to do with the particular gender you're trying to pursue. I admit, I'm pretty discouraged right now. It's been one rejection after another. What about that would generate any sort of appeal to the gender you're trying to pursue? Frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of them.

That's a different case. I don't think that's relevant to Zennie's post. If it's not working out, take a break. Are you involved in any activities where you can meet and get to know women over time? Maybe back off OLD, and try some new hobbies/activities, just mainly for fun, and see if anything comes of it over time. You seem like a good guy. Maybe you're just a niche product who hasn't found his niche yet.
