He's more machine now than man (He has a lot of metal in him!). He goes out on way more dates than I do. He just got out of a 2 month relationship with a decently attractive woman, She was like 5'8 and 150lbs, 29. reasonably attractive. Dude has a way with words, everyone likes being around him.

So I guess it can happen =)

He just acts like he owns everything and doesn't give a **** about what anyone thinks. I wish I was more take charge like that!
I wish I was like your buddy, too, but I am more of the mild-mannered, quiet, shy, slightly awkward guy

Meet women and become friends with them before pursuing them. I don't mean for you to become their best friend, but socialize casually.

Church, classes at a community college, take a bar tending class, join a club, work out at a gym and take the group classes that many women are in, volunteer at a recycling place, volunteer at a food bank.

There are women out there who are not shallow, you just have to approach them

I am tired of guys complaining about women, if they are only dating high maintenance shallow girls. I would hope that you are choosing women who are more than a pretty face with a rockin' body.

Good luck!

Really why not? I constantly filter dudes. Intuition and experience.

Me too, and that's your problem..

I consider myself pretty attractive and I struggle getting dates. You just have to keep putting your fragile ego on the front line and get out there. Honestly, who cares if it's a horrible date. It's experience and improves your social skills. I've gotten miles better in the last couple years, but I still need a lot of work!

Take a college course where you'll be around women, and men. Get in a new social circle, that's helped me recently too. I went and got drinks with "John" and he brought his wife and some other friends/girlfriends. Now I've been invited to a cook out at their house.

I don't have much of either, I'm afraid.

Ok well you can tell from a decent person and an azz right?

Do the same as the public everyday person with the ladies.

I'm curious, how much is face surgery? I don't need an eye, but I'm aging significantly on one side more than other.

OP, this board is overpopulated with guys with no deformities at all and who can't get a single date. Keep that in mind.

Get lots and lots of lube and tissues but don't fret. Someone, somewhere will *********. If Jeff Goldblum in the Fly got some then so can you.
