This happened to me twice this month. Each time I have attempted to initiate some type of romantic relationship after a physical encounter and either the woman simply disappeared or replied she wasn't interested.

And please this has nothing to do with sexual performance, since I am definitely above average in that field.
Maybe try reversing this? Get to know them first. See if they're looking for a romantic, meaningful relationship FIRST then worry about the physical. I'm reading this correctly, you had sex with 2 different women this month (and the month isn't even over yet) and both are not interested? Aside from the physical, I think we need more info to get a better understanding of you. How long did you know these women? How did you meet? What kind of date(s) did you go on? How long after meeting did you get physical?

P.S.--as a woman, I NEVER trust a man who toots his own horn like that (see the red)

Early 30's can still be tough I think. A lot of women that age (if you tend to date in or near your age bracket) are still single for a reason - at this point they've had plenty of practice dodging relationships and playing games with men who would treat them right. That doesn't say as much about you as it does about them, but if they're willing to sleep with you, you're doing something halfway right already I guess. You're fine I'm sure...thoughtful and halfway gives a crap it sounds like anyway. You probably have high'ish standards for class and conduct that these women won't live up to anyway. That's the problem when you expect a lot and have high standards - you're going to be disappointed a lot. C'est la vie. Just keep at it. That's what I tell myself after someone I had high hopes for does me dirty.

It happens. It's a myth that men are generally looking for casual sex and women are generally looking for relationships. It might be a little more common that way, but the reverse happens quite often, too.

Aren't you the same guy who wanted a real relationship with a stripper, though? Perhaps you're looking in the wrong places.

Definitely above average, eh? That's quite a bold statement. Did you conduct a scientific study of a statistically significant sample of men in order to determine this? Please tell us more.

Well, why do you keep giving it up? If you want a relationship hold off on the sex until you have at least the start of one.

All right, Greg, I'm just going to say it because maybe it will help. And if it sounds like tough love, then it does. Your attitudes toward women seem, from your posts on here, to be pretty low. You're VERY judgmental, for example, of a woman's looks. You also tend to put things down to very base terms regarding women. So those are the women you're attracting: women who don't care that they're used. You're not attracting whole, complete women with self-esteem, who see themselves as worthy of real relationships.

If you would up your actual appreciation of women you'd probably start attracting a higher caliber of women.

That's all you took away from my post? I asked some legitimate questions and you only responded to the comment about performance

fleetiebelle is onto something with this!^^^
