Confidence without charm is hollow. It's like a meal that looks tasty but is actually bland. Charm without confidence might amuse people but it's not going to attract them. And as for being hot, well, it's a nice bonus, but it's not necessary.

Also, "hot" is subjective, to a greater extent than a lot of people tend to recognize.

Sure. The chiseled bodybuilder type usually turns off the scenester and hipster girls, just as the lanky, bearded guys no doubt turn off the white collar corporate minded women.

Well, I was more thinking of individual personalities, rather than sub-cultures.

Doesn't the word "hot" in the American vernacular usually refer to physical appearance and not personality?

I don't think this is true. There are lots of boring unattractive men out there that are in relationships. They just aren't in relationships with drop dead gorgeous women. They find women on the same level as themselves, and a lot of those couples are probably really happy. Everyone can't be beautiful. Everyone can't be the life of the party. A guy like the OP could definitely have a girlfriend, but it sounds like he only wants beautiful sorority girls.

Men are judged in part on their ability to attract women. It seems like the guys who are able to do it are just born that way. Who knows, though. Women can be vicious. They can completely wreck a guy's self-esteem. I'm starting to realize now how picky they are and how they're basically in a position of power because they're the sexual gatekeepers and they don't have the need like we do.

I think I mentioned this before, but when I lived in a fraternity I got to see firsthand how the aphorism that "10% of the men get 90% of the women" plays out. There was 1 guy in my house who all the women were obsessed with. I'm not exaggerating when I say that, for the short time he was living in, there was a trail of sorority girls trickling through the house just because they wanted to get ****ed by him. I've realized the common-sense principle that most guys are completely worthless to women. "Sperm is cheap, eggs are expensive" is the mantra. I am basically an evolutionary loser, unfit to pass on my genes.

I'm throwing in the towel with the whole dating thing. It's depressing to think about. I'm ready to move on with other aspects of my life, to put my pursuit of women in the past where it belongs.

I, Jason, hereby surrender to the dating scene.

Honestly, I wish you wouldn't have either! I would have saved at least an hour from reading this "pity party" thread..


I'm just kidding. I didn't read any of this thread. I just like to present myself as funny and witty. Didn't work?


GTFOOH>>>I'm going, I'm going!

"Personalities" wasn't the best choice of words on my part, sorry. Individual people, is what I meant.

If your only focus is “How can I have sex with girls”, or "what do I need to do to get laid like those other guys" then you’re missing out on the true beauty of women. However if you just want sex then don’t bother even trying dating, hit the ATM then go buy some ass.

You can either stay behind your keyboard beating off to Pornstars or you go through the trials and tribulations of finding a woman that makes you a better man. It all starts with you
