I never followed the logic of not looking either. If you want something you have to make it happen. Have you tried online dating or joining a meet up group? Keep your eyes and your heart open everywhere you go. If you're getting coffee and see someone attractive, smile at them! Say hello. I think the problem comes in when you're so desperate you get intense too fast or latch onto people without taking time to get to know them.

Default Why people say stop looking for love?

Love is like the wind - you can’t see it but you can feel it.

Would you rather spend your life looking for love or just enjoying
your journey?

You could end up at the end of your life having spend 60% of your
time looking for love and never found it.

Will you regret spending 60% of your time in a quest for something
you never found?

...just askin'

Yes! Such a simple concept, and yet...it doesn't seem to catch on much.

If your life is centered around looking for love, that's called desperation.

Desperation is a stinky cologne.

Women don't like stinky colognes and will not like you if you're wearing it.

Actually, this one was started before the other one. The title is slightly different. Maybe OP couldn't delete this one.

Default Confidence..

I agree looking "desperate"is not good, And one carries himself this way and is visible to women usually. Proof: Ever notice guys when you are attached you get more looks or contact. It's the way we carry ourselves. So I recommend shoulders back, Standing straight, Be well groomed and dress your age (You do NOT look attractive in that affliction t-shirt at almost 40 years old) and keep your nails clean and shoes as well. This is helpful for many areas of life as well.

Since i do not want a "double standard: here: Ladies, Guys look at you regardless of you being single or not,. Not cause of "intuition."-Cause we are men.

Ya know.

Love has still not found me at all and If i end up being single all my life, I will be so angry because life without relationship for me is so unfair. I be so angry if I end up being single for the whole of my life.
There was one time that it did find me. I thought it did a second time, but that turned out to be a flash in the pan.

So, today, I'm thinking of making up a T-shirt.....

"May be available to the highest bidder....

She that offers the most sex wins....
"

Ummm... Naw, that probably won't work either.
