Congrats! You have got it all figured out. That would explain why all men that arent particuarlly attractive, do not have status or a lot of money are single virgins.
Now that you have spread the gospel Im sure men will work on their attractivness, status and bank accounts.

Sad how many guys just don't get this, isn't it?

In all seriousness, does it even matter if you have money, status, and looks, as long as you find the one girl who'll be all you ever wanted? I'd trade all that in in a second...still, very few bite.

I guess, all along, I was meant to be alone....always on my own...you know? Sucks. Time to move on....

Why would he be with her if he didn't want her? You're assuming that "hot" is all men are interested. There are all kinds of guys out there, with a variety of priorities, some of which *shocker* don't align with yours. Some guys have figured out that "hot" too often is an incomplete package, once personality gets factored in. So they re-order their priorities.

I'm calling BS on this one. I don't consider myself that handsome or good looking, I didn't make what I consider an overly large amount of money, and I'm not sure what you mean by status...so I'm pretty sure I didn't have that either, when I met my wife.

But after we met and married, I've increased my income and my status is such that I am married to one hell of a gorgeous woman who has more smarts than I do hands down. I'm not any better looking, especially when I'm standing next to her...but 2 out 3 ain't bad!

Attracting them by leading a positive goal oriented life can be good enough to attract the person you really like.
You've been making way too much sense, lately, burgl!

I'm 5'3, and I turn 21 in August. I don't think I'll grow an inch in 4 months, and I OFFICIALLY stop growing at 21. I guess I've stopped growing.

While they may not be the be all end all of dating, I'd rather not get too post-modernist and say that they don't matter at all. I think it matters most with respect to the socio-economic strata you are trying to date. If you are a blue collar worker aiming for a white collar corporate or tecchie type, yeah, you may have issues. But here in the States at least, it's not as insurmountable an obstacle as it would be in Asia, for example, where said white collar worker's family would never let her date "down."

That's kind of silly - you think your body actually knows the day you turn 21?

Many guys continue to grow into their mid 20's.

And the male brain certainly doesn't stop until then.

You may gain an inch or two yet.

But worst case scenario - say you never do grow another millimeter - don't be your own worst enemy like so many young guys make the mistake of doing - NEVER let your height be your excuse for anything.

Guys who do that to themselves put off a vibe that repels the very women they would otherwise attract with just more self-confidence
