But life doesn't always work that way.

Research it, and heal yourself.

you're misinterpreting that post


that specific post has nothing to do with dating. That gentleman implied I should just be happy to have been dealt a great hand in life to have all the great things in my life. I was stating that most everything I've gotten has been through hard work and determination.


and just FYI, I understand I have to put in some work socially to get dates - that's common sense. What absolutely kills me is when my good friends who are no more attractive than me (but are 5 inches shorter) get dates everywhere they go while I may die alone. They don't put any more work into dating than I do. One of them is way more shy than i am.

More entitlement ^^^. It's dripping off you.

You really need to look it up.

I can pretty much sum up all of your threads like this - You are totally awesome, nothing is your fault, and everyone loves you but nobody will date you but that's not your fault because you are totally awesome and everyone loves you.

Why? Maybe you'll meet a woman there.

Elaborate please


I'm very entitled for thinking that I should have one reasonably easy dating opportunity every 6 years when I'm in top 1-10% of men my age in everything across the board?

I'll meet a woman in Hawaii who lives near where I'm at now?



I have no interest in relocating. I work arguably in the best company for my industry in the country and have the best friends and family in the world 10 minutes away

OP:

You come across as having a big ego.

Arrogant.

So you are all that and a bag of chips?

Do you really not see it ^^^^^?

I don't have to elaborate.

Google "why entitlement is bad in dating" and see if anything sounds familiar.

It's finding halfway decent looking women who are attracted to me that's seemingly impossible
Define this. I suspect your standards are INCREDIBLY high.

Then, try to go out with ANY women who approach you. I mean, if they are legitimately disgusting to you, don't bother. But, if you get approached by a woman who is kind of plain, a bit thicker than you'd like, or a bit older, go out anyway.

Does not mean you have to marry them or what have you. Just means it'll be good practice socializing in a dating situation.

It's not leading people on if you make it clear that it's a casual thing.

Please don't get him started. Now he's going to start posting all these pics of scantily clad women and getting himself all worked up.
