Theres really no way to take it but they dont think women would be interested in me i guess looks wise and it just gives me even less incentive to approach women with any confidence..

Thank them, be very grateful you have good friends like you do.

There's almost nothing worse than a bad blind date and most are bad.

One other way to take it -- maybe the other 2 came out and said they were interested in meeting someone, told those women they were interested in being set up with single women they knew.

Some people wouldn't want to offend someone by trying to play matchmaker, but if someone says -- "hey do you know of any nice available women?", then they will.

There's always someone else out there in your same situation. It's not so much about confidence but about finding that person.

From my experience, I would never allow 99% of my friends to hook me up with any woman , because most of my friends are pretty selfish in this area and just wanna hook me up with the women that kiss their butt instead of understanding what Im looking for in a woman. I said 99% true, but I do have a few good 1% friends who I would trust with a hookup but they arent in the country lol.

Dear O.P.

Why do you need you friends to fix you up? That's pretty weak.

Besides, I personally don't want my friends fixing me up. Most blind dates are disasters, and it's even worse when you have to report back to another party to tell them how things went. How embarrassing to have to go back and tell them their friend is a total goof ball.

"And by the way, Friend, why did you fix me up with a a deadbeat loser who wears purple cowboy boots and a Doobie Brothers T-shirt and still asks his mom for money? Do really think that's the best I deserve? Some Friend you are."

Recently I had my auto-repair guy try to fix me up with his friend. I finally said, "You know what, no thanks." Truth is, I don't need my auto-repair guy knowing anything about my personal life, and I certainly don't want to know anything more about his. I just need him to fix my car when it gets dented or scratched, thanks. That's it, just fix my car, Brother.

Find your own women. It's not that hard. Plenty of dating sites and meetup groups out there. You should be man enough to put yourself out there!

I don't like it when my friends attempt to hook me up. Its usually with someone they think is not good enough for them, thats why they don't date him, so they try to pass him off to me, or they do like him a little too much and since they already have a boyfriend they want me to keep him around. I try to find friends who don't have the same taste in men as I do. So if they think he's cute, chances are, I don't.
