-watching his buddies, who are apparently extras from Swingers, churn through and endless stream of one-and-dones with random women, and bemoaning the fact that they "get women" even though they are horrible people - no, great guys he'd do anything for - no, horrible people - and he does not.
Yes. That's what I've got in my notes, too.

Seems like the all-important "I asked a girl I thought was cute out for a date and here is the outcome of that interaction" component is totally absent.

Which, without that portion, renders all of us unable to offer meaningful advice beyond "go ask someone out."

I've had sex with a 29 year old, a 35 year old and a couple 40 year olds


None of them were attractive or dating material. Funny enough, the most attractive one in the group was the oldest -a 45 year old blonde woman with a GREAT body but obviously I can't seriously date somebody that much older than me


all of them hit on me and thought I was gorgeous and what not.

you're insulting my family with this garbage


Yes, my mom loves me but my family has always taught me that I should be the hardest worker to be the best one at anything in the room. I'm actually ferociously driven in every part of my life...I don't take anything for granted because we were poor growing up.

you want the honest truth?


I've had real opportunities in my life in the past that I ruined by trying way too hard/being too desperate/etc... I know now how to act around women - I know I have to be friendly, completely independent from the outcome, natural, smooth etc... but I don't get the natural opportunities that I used to get so I have to cold approach. The cold approach is incredibly hard for me, beyond hard. All I see is the million obstacles in the way.


The closest thing to a natural opportunity would be like the waitress from my high school but obviously she wanted nothing to do with me.

I'm going to have a professional take some pics of me in a month or two. I just don't know how to pose or look normal in pics so I always look so much worse than real life.


You will see that I'm about a 7-8/10 realistically speaking in real life. Obviously I'm no male model but I would say I'm well above average

If that were the case, you wouldn't be an ongoing joke, not only here, but every other forum you get clowned on from.

LOL at you getting pics, but, if it is indeed from a professional, you won't have to worry about that, they will tell you exactly what to do. I bet the FIRST thing they will tell you is to smile, and stop looking like you are going to murder the camera.

I do have a pretty smile so hopefully that will come across well. I have near perfect white teeth (thanks mom and dad )

Of course you would take the opportunity to yet again, brag about yourself.
