What do you find attractive? I ask because you seem to difficulties finding these women as evident through your posts and threads.

Meeting single women my age would be a start, though I will be in the wrong city for that for another year.

Looks matter to some extent but they don't guarantee you a happy relationship lol, looking good gets you a lot dates but if you don't have a personality to match, those dates won't lead to nothing serious.

There could be a lot of reasons; for example: a guy who is not especially good-looking, but makes the best of what he has instead of what he lacks.

It's called a positive "attitude". It makes as much, or more, of a difference than how good or bad you look.

I'll gladly exchange my position of getting zero dates for the position of being good looking and getting loads of dates even if few of them lead to anything. Gee, that sounds like such a terrible problem to have --- being good looking and effortlessly getting dates with attractive women, waiting until you find one with a compatible personality.

Looks are huge. Don't let anyone fool you, but there is a lot that a person can do to change and improve their looks. Guys can get a fashionable hair cut, get in shape, lose some weight, some nice clothes and shoes. They could even get some training in manners and how to act, keep clean, have a reasonably nice car, without going overboard. Women do all kinds of things to improve their looks, men can do the same. Its not all just "natural", either you got or you don't. BS.

Anybody who says looks don't matter is either a) a liar or b) trying to convince himself otherwise.

Now, to be sure, looks aren't everything. In fact, looks aren't even most of everything. What's more, attractiveness isn't necessarily about six-packs or long legs or big boobs. Nope, attractiveness is about how you work with what nature gave you, and respecting yourself in the process. Dressing as if you actually care about your appearance, being well-groomed, and pushing away from the all-you-can-eat at Bob's Bodacious Buffet.

At the same time, show me someone who is out of shape, hasn't had a decent haircut in God knows when, and wears clothes as if thrown on them with a pitchfork, then I'll show you someone who is going to be roundly ignored. After all, if you don't respect yourself to take good care of yourself, why should you expect the rest of the world to notice you either?

^^^^^This.

Being attracted to someone is not the same as them being attractive.
