If we lived in the same area I would seriously offer my services as a wing man (person, woman....).

The fact that you haven't been snatched up by a good woman is a crime.

These women you're trying to show an interest in, are they women you're just meeting versus on a date with?
I agree, that line is cringe worthy and sounds like you're desperate and trying too hard. If you're giving off signs of desperation, throwing a cheesy line or look like you're trying too hard, that could very well be the issue why you're having no luck.

Do you really need to have this explained? The nice ones are offended because you're tending to pain all women who aren't battered victims as being mean.

I still don't see where you've answered the question: what kind of women do you usually approach? The beautiful ones? (Your post prior to the quoted one would indicate the answer is yes.) Do you approach average-looking but outgoing or bubbly women? Do you approach shy women? Or do you tend toward one type? If you keep getting the same response when approaching pretty much one type, that would be a clue that you should try different types.

"peruse". Sorry. I let most spelling mistakes go, but this one was too much.

I don't think the hooker and mail-order-bride suggestion was meant to be taken seriously, btw. I think it was meant sarcastically. Oh...oops, I guess she meant it seriously. Never mind.

Of course there are wonderful women in the world. The question is: why is it difficult for you to find them? Are you choosing women who are aloof or who have superiority complexes? Are you doing something to drive away the nice women? Are you passing over the nice women, because they don't meet your looks criteria?

I don't think we can help you much. I think you should work with your therapist and get back to us.

I agree. I walk away from guys who say stuff like that.

Eh. I'm in a really bad area for dating. Lots of crazy women, addicts, divorcees who love to hate on men on a regular basis.

Lots of people graduate and immediately move away, or marry really young, or it's elderly couples and middle-aged couples who move and live here.

Hey I use Peruse sometimes. My old man has used it a few times before also.

Mostly average looking ones. I've tried a lot of different types. Older, younger, thick, skinny, white women, African American women, Asian women... i have to say i haven't really tried many Latino women. Shy, outgoing, bubbly. NOT loud. That's a deal-breaker for me. I can't handle loud and obnoxious people.
