Supermodels are only good for one thing.

Sadly many women have taken on the same mentality as you have.

Believe it or not cats, dogs, casual sex and all that other stuff will never be able to substitute for the love of a great man.

What do you look like physically? Do you have a nice shape?

I think we've got some matchmaking going on here.

NY women are as picky as it comes. That is why so many are lonely.

What are your guy friends saying???

What type of places do you go to spend your free time?

Are you making EYE CONTACT with these guys that you are interested in?

Are you putting yourself in position PHYSICALLY for guys to approach or are you always on the run?

Have you ever said hello to a guy that you were interested in?
I get what she's saying, and I've been there. I've been told I look approachable, and while men look and smile at me, some even say hi, being asked for my number or asked out was not a common occurrence (unless it were online).

Sometimes it's difficult to know whether someone is simply being "nice" or showing actual interest. Especially if it's a place of business. Places I've frequented and see the same people, and have gotten looks, compliments (tattoos, especially) and friendly vibes, but nothing in the way of asking me out.

However, since I much prefer online to offline dating, it's a non-issue.

So...in a nutshell, it's womens fault that some men can't get dates.

Or, you know, maybe it's that crappy attitude that you have.

Guys probably assume you are taken. I have done that in the past. Even the most confident of men sometimes miss.

Funnily, I said the same thing to my BF. I told him yesterday that if I saw him out in public I would certainly make eye contact and smile, but wouldn't approach because I would have assumed he was unavailable. He said he would have done the same, look and smile, but not approach. He's much too shy to do that.

Funny how things work between men and women. As a man I have been approached and asked out by 3 or 4 women in my lifetime. It was very very refreshing to not have to be the one to initiate for a change.
Most men I know would see no problem with a woman showing a little bit of interest. Just makes our job a little bit easier. If he likes what he sees in you, then you won't need to do much to get his attention.

For the record...ALL MEN have options. May not be the exact woman that they want to be with but THEY ALL HAVE OPTIONS. Some are just to insecure to see it.
My apologies, that was in reference to a post that said women are too picky and need to make up their minds.

We have a lot of men giving up on dating due to rejection. I know there probably exists a woman who I find attractive and who wouldn't reject me, but since I'm 0 for 3, I constantly doubt myself and am afraid of striking out more because it'll further compound my lack of confidence.
0 for 3? You've only asked out three women? How old are you? Because being 0 for 3 should not be something that determines the fate of your lovelife.

As for the folks who are saying women should know what they want, well, so should men. The problem is that it is far, far easier to know what you don't want than what you do. I mean, we all want the honest, fun, attractive partner who has common values and goals and is good in bed. Who wouldn't? Your dealbreakers are what counts. The rest is all chemistry.
