I've been seeing this word being thrown around a lot.

Define "picky."

You won't know what is on each girl's "list" until you try to ask them out or talk to them. You just assume you do, which is ridiculous.

He's spot on. Women who are very attractive are not single. They always have a man or two in the wings.

Again, SO not true! I currently have no men anywhere. Ridiculous statement. Absolutely ridiculous.

Attractive females always have a TON of guys chasing them, no matter where they live.

I don't disagree that those things could be true, but it might also be that she's not interested in anyone right now for whatever reason (and doesn't notice the guys chasing her or is not really into the guys chasing her). That's why I say, never hurts to strike up a conversation. She might not be looking, but that doesn't mean you might not catch her attention if you are her kind of guy. And if you aren't her type of guy, what have you lost other than a few minutes of your time?

And I don't think that perpetually single also means not good-looking. My sister-in-law had no boyfriends before my brother. She's not ugly in the least bit, she's a cute strawberry blonde with a sweet disposition. She was just a combination of very shy and very much into her education and then career before they met. Now they are married, have a child and are very happy together. They both seem to think they are lucky to have each other.

What have I lost? A few minutes of my life that I'll never get back. My belief is that the majority of women are not single. Therefore, it's useless to try talking to them. I've had experiences that make my statement a fact.

Do you get cooties by talking to non single women? I don't know about you, but I can have great conversations and make connections with non single people.

If that's the way you feel about things and that's your experience, it's perfectly valid and that's your business. But for me, I don't feel that it's a loss any worse than spending time writing on a forum, standing in line at the grocery store, sitting in traffic, or anything else that eats time like that. Talking to someone (for me anyway) even if it's a stranger I will never see again isn't a waste of time, it's a way to make time more enjoyable--better than staring at a phone for certain. I never find it useless talking to another human being. I might not end up dating the person, but I've learned a lot of interesting things along the way and just talking to random people has started many an interesting (in a good way) experiences in my life too.

Thank you for breaking it down.

Folks don't understand even when guys give us attention or hit on us....they assume we sit on a throne soaking it up like we're in some old 90s tv show or something; when in reality it either annoys us, makes us feel worse, or it's just pointless. My point...you can still feel lonely with people around you. If it's not the person you want or you are not interested in any of them....it doesn't matter. Doesn't mean you're picky or you're looking for the top dog.

The guys saying negative things about attractive women, THEY are the ones who give them the attention. So why complain or talk junk about it? That's what confuses me.
