This is mainly a thread for the guys who don't have much luck with women (such as myself). My standards are high when it comes to women. I mean high! I won't go on a date with a woman I am not attracted to and I will not have a serious relationship with a woman I have no attraction to. I have had people say her personality will grow on you, which I think is nonsense. If I don't find her attractive, I never will. To all the guys here with barely no success with women, would you settle and be with a woman you had no attraction to, or stay single?
I feel you, I live by the quote
"If it's not the one I love, I would rather be alone"
I think a lot of people settled because they don't want to be alone.
I refused to settle...... Of course, being single sometimes do feeling lonely, esp when you hang with your friends which are all coupled up or married.
For me, I have to feel the attraction the very first time I met the gal, otherwise the best we can be are just friend.
I usually don't react to it right away, just to make sure it wasn't lust.
So by the time I felt right to ask her out on a date, I know it is a true feeling that I have.
For the last 8 years, I only felt that way for 3 gals, one wasn't interested, one had to move away after a while, so didn't work out, and then the last one, which totally broke my heart.
For the last 2 years, I haven't asked anyone out on a date, I only hang in group setting, with new/old friends, or just do things on my own.
When some gals asked me out and I wasn't interested in dating, I'm sure to clearly hint that we are just hanging out as friends. I mean I've been lead on before, and I will not want to do that to someone else. Or else I'll just stay in a group setting or try to keep my distance.
I always felt that it is a blessing to find someone that you love and have them feel the same way at the same time.... not everyone are blessed.
I hope I will get to meet her, if not then it is what it is.........

Like you, I am extremely picky. Have turned down sex in a number of cases with women who didn't meet my standards. I think staying single is preferable. Just get an attractive escort when you feel the urge.

I've turned down sex many times as the main ingredient, love, was absent from the equation. Guess that make me weird in today's society as sex without love, to me anyway, is akin to an everyday visit to a public restroom.

I would be scared of getting an STD. Besides, they're way too expensive. College drains my finances lol.

Escorts (not streetwalkers) are less likely to have an STD than the average Joe or Jane. They get tested far more frequently and follow strict protocol with using protection (including with oral activities). The average person doesn't always do one or both of these things because of false notions, assumptions, and poor communication with the people they sleep with.
I know this is off topic, but the stereotype bugs me because I've heard of way too many instances where men and women stigmatize STIs as something only loose and trashy people get. This type of thinking is really problematic and leads certain groups to not get tested because they think their social status or who they sleep with is enough to protect them.
Everyone should get tested between partners, or at least at regular intervals. Many don't because of stupid reasons and surprise, surprise, they end up spreading diseases and act shocked when they get the positive results back.

That's why I'd never go to one. Paying for sex is kind of pathetic to be honest. I'm sure escorts think the same way as well.
Who tries to have a serious relationship with someone they're not attracted to? Is there some weird astrological thing happening today? We're getting some weird threads.
I can see having a 2nd date with s.o. you didn't click with the first time. Some people need time to come out of their shell and let their real personality show. The shy ones can surprise you that way, and morph into someone very cool, once they get comfortable with you. Attraction is about more than looks, y'know. And conversely, someone who looks slammin can come across as a dud, so you can't wait to get away from 'em. (Like Cristo, who had a date with a hottie that totally bombed.) But who decides to spend their life with someone they're not into? Or even spend a year, or a few months? Seriously?
Word is bomb!
