Actually, I only get like this when someone exasperates me.

That was just absolutely mind blowing to me. Women can date men 10 years old than themselves but if the men is 1 year younger, no thanks...I guess


Wow just wow
That's one woman. My girlfriend is one year older than I am and she seems perfectly happy. Age is really just a number when people get older (up to three years difference or more really isn't anything).

Anybody who approaches a table of 4 women must be borderline insane and just asking to be rejected. Although if you can do that successfully, then more power to you

Rejection at my job is real gentle. You go through the process and then when people don't answer to your calls, you know that's not going to be a deal


You don't get embarrassed with humiliating rejections right on the spot

Maturity is more important. Yes, a woman who is a few years older than you may pass you up if you display the emotional maturity of a guy who's 19. And, to be honest, some of your threads display exactly that.

I have very close friends in their late 30s. People regularly say I act like I'm in my late 20s and I can pass for late 20s with just a little bit of facial hair so the maturity is not an issue.


Still, I have big doubts here. Why would a 26 year old go for a 23 year old when she can easily date a 35 year old CEO type?

Talk to all sorts of women, but talk to them because they're women. Not because you're trying to get a girlfriend.
Get to know them as people...build your confidence in who you are (as a man).

Chances are you'll go on a few dates, and you might even get a girlfriend out of the "deal".

Good post sir

Because not every girl wants to date a 35 year-old CEO type* or even has an opportunity to meet one. The world is not black and white and not every woman fits into your narrow definitions.

*How many 35 year-old CEOs are there anyway? They have to be prodigies to get to that level at a fairly young age.

Yep, I asked out an Asian girl at my gym just like 5 weeks ago and got rejected


I've had lots of other situations where I would definitely gotten rejected if I asked them out. This particular occurrence, I actually build some nice rapport and got along really well with the Asian girl before I got rejected. I've had lots of other times where the interaction was not nearly as smooth so you know I would have gotten rejected at every one of those

You've gone on and on over several threads talking about how good-looking you are. Why would the women reject you, if what you say is true? At least one out of four would be thinking, "he's kind of cute", and waiting for you to chat her up.

Does anyone see a contradiction here? The OP repeatedly says he thinks he's all that, but also thinks that any and all women he would try to talk to will reject him, for no reason in particular.

The 35-year-old CEO is probably already married, or he's divorced and mad that his ex took all his stuff.

So at work, when someone walks into the showroom, you think, "they probably don't want to buy a car, anyway. They're probably just here for the free coffee." And you stand in the corner staring at the floor. No? That's what you're doing with women. If you can sell a car, you can talk to a woman and ask her out. Always Be Closing, man.
