So - what you really mean is that girls lose interest in YOU while you don't lose interest in them. This has nothing to do with men and women as a whole.

How do you know that they are losing interest because of minor character flaws?

For one thing, any character flaw that comes out in the first couple of dates, when people are putting their best foot forward in an attempt to impress, is a flaw that's too big to hide and therefore not minor. Some examples of why I've lost interest in men very quickly: Tells off-color, racist, or similarly inappropriate jokes; cusses like a sailor; interrupts or talks over me, or monopolizes the conversation; is pushy or clingy; is too sexual or touchy-feely; is a complainer.

And how do you know they are losing interest because of character flaws? Maybe they don't feel anything in common with you (beliefs, values, religion, life goals). Maybe they don't find you physically attractive. Maybe your conversational skills are lacking. Maybe you have bad breath. Maybe they don't get your sense of humor.

It could be anything, Simon. You might just want to consider that if no woman has given you a chance beyond a couple of dates in 10 years, you might be doing something wrong.

I may sound like a broken record here, but he probably doesn't reject many women or maybe nobody.

If you are rejected by 250 women and you have rejected 3 women in your life, there is going to be a certain amount of frustration.

If it was 50 and 50, he's not on here complaining. Nobody is.

I don't know what's so hard to understand about that.

Why do you believe is a minor flaw? Most times I don't continue to date a woman it isn't because they have a "flaw", minor or otherwise.

And maybe that negative vibe would go away if I had a girlfriend instead of just getting one/two dates then getting ignored?

You must be doing something in that one or two dates which is preventing more dates from occuring. Unless you find a desperate, low self esteem woman who is looking for any attention she can get, your not going to see many women stick with a guy they perceive as having initial deal breaking flaws.

Maybe, but probably not. Negative people are generally negative. You have to be good about being single and happy living you're life before you'll attract anyone else. It is one of the very few cliches out there that is true.

Men usually don't lose interest cause they want to "hit it" lol. Thats why you should be a little mysterious and unpredictable to woman when you first meet them. They become intrigued.
