Where do you live? We need to advertise this place to women. Is this some kind of non-mainstream culture or subculture?

Maybe we can move there together.

Now I have known good looking people who couldn't make a relationship work, but simply getting dates was no problem for them.
This is true about women.

I never feel bad for a woman that complains about finding a guy. It's almost always nonsense. Every woman has guys lined up wanting to date them. Dating is much easier for women. They just like to complain.

I do feel bad for guys that don't naturally get girls. While they definitely can change that, it's an uphill battle and will take a significant amount of time. Luckily for me, I know that even when I'm going through a tough time, a new girl will fall into my lap soon as long as I stay positive and just be myself.

Why does this cr@p keep getting perpetuated here? Is this so men can feel sorry for themselves, and gain more sympathy? I don't get it.

That is NOT true. Not true at all in any way, shape or form.

I know of at least 5 women off the top of my head who have been single and completely dateless for over a year.... where are all these men that are lining up to ask either them or me out?

The only place where my statement isn't true is on this forum apparently. Any female friend I have has no trouble getting dates. The ones that are unsuccessful simply date the wrong kinds of guys. These girls complain the most.

What about women who can't even get a date in the first place? How can I complain about dating the wrong kind of guys when I can't even get a date with a guy to begin with? The last 'date' I went on was in March... 8 months ago and it originated online and didn't go past the first date. That's it. Nothing after that at all. Where are all these guys that are asking out every woman you know? Hook a gal up

I'm from NY, but have friends from all over (DC, Texas, California). They all complain about never having guys, but when I push them, I always find out that they're lying about that and have plenty of guys interested. They just never give those guys a chance.

Keep in mind though that I'm 25. All of my female friends are my age or younger.

I know plenty of women who weren't asked on dates in college. If any guys were interested, they didn't show it. It has nothing to do with age. No one is lying. There are a lot of shy men, socially awkward men, but also picky men. Or rather, men who have a certain type in mind, usually the "hot" type.
