It gets easier as we age because we're more confident and comfortable in our own skin. As for me, I'd much rather spend my 20s creating memories with an attractive female, not alone and certainly not with my buddies. So that's what I did. I met my wife when I was 20 and was married at 27. I wouldn't change a thing.

You can be the best version of you with a woman by your side. As a matter of fact, you'll be a better you with the One. Just saying.

very true


the problem for me is that I can't settle for an overweight woman. Settling just goes against the very fiber of my DNA. Everything I do in life, I want to be the best - I want to be in that top 1% across the board in everything. This drive is what has fueled my success


And I understand that dating is not a competition but I just can't make myself settle for somebody I feel zero attraction for. I still feel like I deserve a decent looking companion.

So?

Seriously, there's a reason that you're not getting dates, and it's not because of anything outside of yourself.

Until you figure out what is going on *inside of you* and make a commitment to work to improve it, NOTHING is going to change.

It's not always their size that matters. It's how they treat you.

Beauty is skin deep, ugly goes to the bone!

a great relationship without physical attraction is called friendship, not a romantic relationship



I get treated great by my male friends but I don't want to have sex with them either

See that word in bold?

Deserve-- according to dictionary.com, a verb meaning to merit, be qualified for, or have a claim to (reward, assistance, punishment, etc.) because of actions, qualities, or situation:

Get it out of your dating vocabulary.

I don't think dating will ever get any easier for you.

be qualified for is what I was implying - I wasn't saying I'm entitled to a decent looking companion. Nobody is entitled to sh*t in this world.


I don't think there's anything wrong with saying you deserve a great relationship with a decent looking partner. We all deserve to be loved by someone we find attractive.

If the older women love me now, why wouldn't they love me more when I'm their age?


It's not like I'm going to lose anything physically - I'll probably be in better shape and look better at 35 than I do now.
