Do you mind me asking if your doing anything that will boost your confidence when it comes to the women for example gym?

I only ask as you have some qualities about you that I'm sure women would like about you mate.

Have you gained weight since you joined? I remember you had a pic of yourself, and you looked like a football player, which is not something I'd call "fat". Big--yes. Weight is something you can fix (I know you know that). I can see how you might be intimidating to some women, but some women like that type. Otherwise football players and boxers wouldn't have gf's.

You're a work-in-progress, Diss. First you got yourself a BA, pretty much through sheer determination, I have the impression, and that got you a job. Then you went to school to better that job. Now, you're working on fine-tuning the weight. Step by step, you'll get there. You'll get tired of me saying, "patience", but.... what other choice is there? Good luck, I know you can do this, Diss. Step by step wins the race.

Joined? Well, I gained 60 pounds from 2012 until earlier this year. I actually lost the 60 I gained.

Well, congrats on that! Keep up the good work. Yeah, I didn't see that you joined way back in 2006. I thought it was just a couple of years ago.

Again, I already conceded to being a hypothetical toad, the ugly chic in the room, a -25 on a 1 to 10 scale... now address the points and questions I raised, if you can. Or don't

If they get too close, they'll get poked in the eye by the chip on his shoulder.

He is smart and witty...dunno why he thinks no one will like him.

I'm not getting from BrowningPoeFrost that she has something against singles. She's addressing the issue of some people emphasizing looks in their search for a partner, to the point that personality doesn't register much on their radar, or not enough to influence their perceptions of someone's attractiveness. That's certainly relevant to this discussion/thread topic.

However, now that a couple of posters have clarified their positions on that, I can see how with some guys, it's not necessarily about "hotties", exactly. Still, I can't really relate to it. I'm with Dewdrop, who said that the guys she meets are, for her, blank slates until she gets to know them.

You think I'm smart and witty? I'm surprised since we aren't exactly drinking buddies you would say this.

If you "don't care" so much, why have you restated your opinion so much?
