Don't pay someone to date you, ever!. There is nothing physically wrong with you - you are not an ogre. Forget the receding hair line and wire rimmed glasses commentary - too many superficial folks on these boards. Do you have any interests, outside of work? As someone already mentioned, how about joining a meetup group that focuses on your interests as a way of meeting other people. Relationships take time, they don't usually happen overnight - and sorry, but LA is as much a meat market as is NYC, where everyone thinks they are model material and they're crap doesn't stink. You don't want that.

Not if you sit there and dont say anything.

I agree that the second photo is best because the shirt is a flattering color, you're smiling and your skin tone looks healthier than in the other photos.

But your personality is what make you "who you are."

If you want someone to be interested in that, then find ways for them to get to know you.

Another thing:

You post: "I have my own car and am currently employed. I also forget to mention that I have a BA degree from a university. Also I"m different' I don't drink,smoke or do drugs. I"m not into bars or clubs."

Look 50 years ago, when women didn't have many opportunities and had to marry a stable man in order to increase their status, you would have been a catch to women. However now that women have their independence, dating has changed. This is one major mistake men make in today's dating environment. They think "okay, I got a car and a job, now all these women will swarm to me and want to be with me." No, those were the old rules. I mean, what you wrote about above reads like a resume and not a dating profile.

Instead, write about your hobbies and passions. What makes you interesting and unique? What are cool things that you like to do in your spare time? How are you different than the other 100 million men in this country?

Here are some pictures of me. I"m a 32 year old male from the Los Angeles area. I have a very hard time meeting woman. I'm curouis as to why. I have my own car and Im currently employed. Its very hard for me to even become friends with woman. All of my friends are guys.

Here are photos of me: Flickr: wjrubens' Photostream


I also forget to mention that I have a BA degree from a university.

I have lost 35 pounds since these pictures were taken.


Also I"m different' I don't drink,smoke or do drugs. I"m not into bars or clubs.
There was this 24 year old girl who I was an aqcuintance with who said I look like a little kid.

Here is my youtube page. You can see what im like. I have lost 35 pounds since I took these videos.

TheUnknown0709's channel - YouTube
I'm actually 32 years old now.


I got so desperate that I joined a stupid dating site called Online Dating | Buy & Sell First Dates.

After joining this site and paying 3 woman to date me 2 of the woman wanted to see me again after the 1st date only if I gave them money. There is this 21 year old girl who I saw twice from that site. I ended up paying her twice. On the website you are supposed to only pay woman for the 1st date. I asked this girl for a 3rd date and she only wants to see me if I pay here a large aount of money. she wont give me sex wither.

Here is my profile for whatsyourprice.com

Online Dating | Buy & Sell First Dates

I tired plentyoffish.com and oakycupid for 3 years and no luck for me.

Is it becuase I live in the Los Angeles area?

I don't have any answers for you. But I wish you all the best in life. Hope you can find somebody soon, hang in there.

From what I can tell and the ads that women post, you have 3/4 of your online competition beat. Also your range at 21 is way to low. And you should never have to pay a woman to date. Are you too picky and looking at 10s?
