I never met my father in fact he bailed as soon as I was born. I had to learn this on my own.

yawn. Another self pity thread.


Okay, so you have done all you could go be in decent shape, you got your education in order and you have an okay job. I would say, these are the basics.


If you are ugly but have all of the above in check, there is always hope because you can score with your personality. However, since it hasnt been working out for you, I would suggest you change your strategy.


Only an idiot keeps doing the same thing over and over, hoping for a different result.




I know a guy who is 42. Average in everything. He is not shy and talks to women easily, goes on tons of dates.
However, he never had a relationship that lasted longer than one year. Doesn't that tell you something? Wouldn't you go around, asking your buddies why they think all women run off after a few weeks/months? I could tell him. But some people don't want to hear it and rather keep failing over and over and complain about it instead of trying something different.

I think it's safe to say some people aren't meant to be in a relationship and are better off being single and maybe the OP is one of those types of people. No big deal to be honest. Being in a relationship is a choice in life not an obligation. I know a lot of you are gonna tell me I'm wrong (which I could care less) but don't push your experiences on those who struggle and don't insult them or kick them when they are down. It's not cool at all. If they aren't hurting anyone, why all the vitriol?

You know folks the OP is long gone and some other random poster re-opened this year old thread. And now the thread has become about Dissenter for some reason. I guess many of you can't pass up an opportunity to be an A-hole to someone. Even if they're not here anymore.

I never knew so many people can be so rude towards one another. I am so glad none of the people I know in real life aren't this horrible.

What is your opinion of why he can't keep anything going?

Yawn. Smoking stuff isn't a "hobby". But you sure do love to sign in under that handle, instead of using your main one, to talk smack from time to time.
