All fairly cute or better, all education professionals, from their professions I'm sure most earn a good chunk more than me. Tonight, Saturday afternoon, Monday, Wednesday and late next week (still to be solidified). I mean seriously, what is so hard? What the heck are you guys doing to turn women off? You have to be working at it.

The hard part is getting something that sticks, that's real (I met someone awesome that I apparently was more into than she was into me, I guess), but getting dates? Not seeing it in any dude I know. It's easier than ever. And I'm a bald dorky ******* that earns jack. If I had some looks, or some sense of style, or whatever it would be exhausting, but I don't, I'm the most averagest average mofo out there.
This is very difficult for me to believe since I've never seen it from any of my male friends, all of whom are good looking.

I, myself, have been called "cute" IRL, but can't get even a single mom online.

Although, I will admit that I gave up OLD a while ago after multiple rejections and have not tried it since (even then, I only spent maybe a few weeks per trial collecting rejections before giving up).

A lot of Women would rather compete with each other for the top guys than settle for less.
Same can be said for some guys. Rather than date the cute girl next door, they're looking for the hot women who rams like a porn-star.

Lets not act like all men have no standards. plenty of men won't give some women who like them the time of day because they have their eyes on somebody else. Women are rejected everyday, and it has nothing to do with the men being too hot for them. He just didn't want her.

One lady who stated they tried going to social events to meet men. And most people were married and paired off. And the single guys just seemed to ogle and hover around the same 2 or 3 women.

No, YOU'RE just sitting on the sidelines.

The average man, at least according to statistics, is not only "playing the game" but is marrying the winning piece. At age 27 or 28, I believe.

That's average men (65% last I checked, I will vet that to current if anyone needs me to). Hence the meaning of the word "average."

And let's not forget that there must be many men who aren't married, but are in relationships (I know...that's a "duh") - therefore, far greater than 65% of men (in the U.S.) have a partner.

So, no. The "average" man is not sitting on the sidelines without a relationship. Very far from it.

Just the whiners and/or the ones who come off as so fuming-angry (without provocation) that women shy away - and fast.

I've known lots of friends end up settling down with the first girl they've really got because consciously or not they know how hard is it for men to really meet anyone, or go out dating. And the girl they've settled for is in most cases way below them, but that's what women expect.

Besides, women want sex just as much as men do. So if they can score with the hottie, while tricking the average guy into courting her, then it's a win for her. See the CAD vs. DAD argument for details.

Only if you want to buddy. I'm average or below in looks, in finances, way below average in sense of style and salary growth potential due to my career... and I live in a very competitive high cost city (Boston) and do just fine. The only people that aren't doing ok are the ones not trying.

Sorry you guys didn't make the cut. /shrug

Watcha going to do now? You are making sure everyone hears your voice, but I can tell you, the more that hear you, the less dating selection you will have. You may go from few to nothing.

AceCutty, you sound like you'd be such a great boyfriend to have. I just can't believe that women are not falling into your lap. They sure don't know what they are missing. Oh well, it's their loss! You just keep on being you.
