I sent you that PM because I don't think you should be here telling people to give up when they are here asking for advice and I didn't want to say it in public.

I have no reason to put you on ignore, I'm more than happy to tell people to not listen to pessimism because that's not how you make your life better.

I'm sorry but I doubt that there's anything this man can say that will make him appealing.

Not everyone is interested in dating anymore & that doesn't make a person unworthy in life , if you approach a girl and she isn't interested then just forget her, simple as that.

That guy looks like he'd be really good-looking if he lost about 60 lbs.

Good point

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You'll get rejected, everyone does. If you do nothing, you'll never get anywhere, anyway. If you try, you'll get somewhere eventually. The thing is to not invest every little encounter with the weight of your self-esteem. Just practice chatting with everyone, male, female, old, young. It'll become second nature. You can practice with random people. When you get comfortable with it, extend that practice to women in your age-range. When it becomes second-nature, it won't feel so much like rejection, because your self-image won't depend on the outcome of each little momentary friendly overture.
Not a bad idea. I'm in a medium sized city so this is definitely possible.

Like guys on this forum, the women who post here vary in age range and relationship interests. Some remind me of my single elder aunt Ethel, others are jaded over 35 types, and a handful are married/in a serious relationship that are trying to be helpful. Your lucky if you get the cute single 20-35 types who you really want answers from because they are on match,com and other dating online sites, if not actually fielding men via text, emails, calls, and live dating. Yep, no time for virtual reality for them ...

These forums are good information sources, but you have to adjust it to your reality, i.e., don't accept your online feedback like its private coaching.

Depends on whom he's talking to. It could be them!

I bet he would want good-looking girls, too. It's not all about wants in this world... There's reality.
