Why is that so hard to believe? I hate tennis but I went to plenty of matches with my ex because he enjoyed it. I'm not a huge fan of hockey, but it looks like I'm going to a Bruins game with a friend next week because he wants someone to go with him. He doesn't like baseball but I will be dragging him to a few Sox games this summer

Neither gender does direct rejection well. Women may tend to lie to spare feelings but men tend to do disappearing acts. I don't know which is worse.

The women I approach are women who society deems "unattractive" as they are short/plain/have weight problems or are obese/aren't young etc but I don't care because I'm looking for a wife and love is so much more than looks................LOOKS DON'T COUNT.

But I go to my strength as my strengths are spirituality and inner qualities, a good hearted decency, a sense of outrage towards unfairness. I don't go to my weaknesses if my weaker (superficial) "qualities" include shortness, being physically unattractive according to women, being balding etc.............

And in NY I'm seeing a whole lot of plain, older, overweight, not greatly expressive, not talented and ordinary women playing to their weaknesses instead of their strengths when they demand looks and reject on looks. Even their heavy makeup, hairdye, fashionable clothes won't cover the fact that they are old, plain, overweight and rejecting their peers on the same.

The pot calls the kettle black when it comes to NY single women and somebody has to say something about it.
It's this very attitude of yours that repels women, regardless of what they look like. Although, I'm not sure how you assess talent if you're not close with someone. Frankly, if I were a single, obese, hard on the eyes woman I'd go lesbian, join a monastery/become a nun, or just stay single before I would spend one minute with a man with your views.

Let's get real here. A woman goes to a party where there are single peopl and talks to several guys. If no guy asks for her phone number, that's rejection. Women don't have to be the askers to get rejected.

I was referring to someone there alone just like we join singles sites by ourselves and we put our own individual profile and picture up.

Sorry, I apologize for not clarifying that.

Disappearing acts are the worst.

Heh, I just went to a Celtics game last week and I don't like basketball. I had the tickets, so I went. It's something to do. I wouldn't pay for it, that's for sure.

I learned to just accept that's what men do.

Then you'd be a rejected single lesbian nun because you weren't one of the good looking sisters in the monastery.

Sorry but you'd have to face it.

Then women should learn to start being the askers.
