Head to the Philippines ma boy. A friend of mine went there in 2008 and he loved it. Its like its bizzaro world when it comes to dating. Women will come up to you and persue you for dating (not talking about prostitutes). He said it was wonderful to experience this male fantasy (sad commentary on western dating when this is viewed as a fantasy). He met a lot of wonderful women and plans to go back soon and hopefully get married and bring her back to the states. He would not recommend living there as it has a lot of problems compared to the states, but dating women there is out of this world.

How is it a sad commentary on western dating when a gal coming up to a guy and pursuing him is viewed as a fantasy by one guy? In my experiences/observations many gals come up to and pursue guys. I've seen plenty of gals go hard-core on my frat bros.

You can have one of the most important jobs in the world and would die doing it.

If "she" deems it crummy, you're sunk.

I'm in my mid 30s, ridiculously socially retarded, and make $9 an hour. Never had any kind of contact with the opposite sex.

That's because the culture is still of a traditional conservative Christian type. Although it's getting pretty westernized nowadays.

Bit curious as to the logic in that as I would imagine a traditional conservative culture would have the gals be passive as the role of the guy is to be the aggressor/leader meaning less gals would approach/pursue guys. If anything it seems adding in Christian type would further lessen gals approaching/pursuing guys what with the seemingly quick blast on female sexuality and looseness.

Meh. Let's not forget that you don't just marry a Filipino woman. You marry her entire extended family. At least from what I've seen.

Eh.

Socially awkward is why you're single.

Broke people with ****ty jobs date all the time, Meanwhile I make nearly 6 figures and used to be a professional athlete. I couldn't get a date until I forced myself to do things with people -- Go out to bars and talk to people, say yes to things co-workers and acquaintances invite me too, etc.

There were a lot of awkward, difficult times but I pushed through. I do just fine with dating now. Career is only an issue when things get serious.. Most women probably think I'm a broke ass ski-bum, I usually don't tell anyone what I do until I meet them.

Dressing nicer and working out helps a ton too..

Yeah. Frat bros. Not socially awkward guys with a lousy job. Why not go where you are wanted? Plenty of guys would love to be pursued by women especially for sex. I was there a few years ago and had a blast. I wouldnt recommend marrying as much but if you want a massive ego boost then visit there if you are a guy
