It happens all the time. Just like women, men have a "type" they're looking for. I've seen guys pass on an entire roomful of women, including two who approached them, because they were looking for something very specific. Guys who are into "hot"-looking women will pass on dozens of "cute" types, for example, and visa-versa. It happens every day.

Surely you must be joking.

Don't even try that nonsense that it's only weirdos and creeps approaching. They get approached by plenty of good looking/outgoing men

Online and IRL are apples and oranges. You can't compare them at all. Women get rejected IRL all the time. Even one of our members who is attractive and has had a profile up online says that guys don't respond even when she sends them a message or a "wink". This "hundreds of messages to a woman's profile" argument is just an excuse for whining. Real life (and even online dating) are radically different from these silly experiments guys do, just to torture themselves.

Most women don't get attention at the gym, and many don't go to bars (or gyms, for that matter).

I posted a well written profile with 3 pictures where almost everybody I showed them to online said I'm handsome (many said "I'm very handsome"). I sent out 25 to 30 messages and got zero responses


I didn't get mad, I just assumed I was one of 50,000 guys messaging them that day and they probably went for somebody who was taller, better looking and made more money than I did. That's just life


I'm just tired of your nonsense pretending that any halfway decent looking woman doesn't have 50,000 options at any given time. My sister used to go the gym with me, not say anything and literally every guy in the place was dying to talk to her. If I wasn't there, she would be getting approached left and right

You said you're good looking, so your sister must be above average, too. I'm only talking about the experiences of myself, my friends, relatives, women I observe and talk to at the gym, etc. This isn't nonsense, it's life experience and observation. Your sister is lucky.

It might sound crazy but I think there are other unseen factors that also come into play, like, our pheromones and hormones (through smell and our blood levels) and also the energy/vibes we put off. I think with some people these things are better than with others.

I know that it works to attract people, but is the opposite probable? Skunk defense aside, I don't think I've heard of repellent pheromones.
