How is it you managed to ask a girl out yesterday?

What is so complicated about making conversation or getting to know others at a common activity as a way to break the ice before asking someone out? Maybe you'd have less rejections if you took the time to get a feel for a woman before asking her out.

It makes sense that walking up to strangers and asking them out isn't going to have a high success rate. They don't know you! You really don't have the right to complain about how hard done by you are when you take an approach that has a slim chance of working and anything else is just too much effort for you.

Every guy can be labeled a creep.

If Mark Zuckerberg who was unknown to a random girl and he tried to approach her, he would be labeled a creep simply because he is probably nerdy looking and not social.

If Bill Gates tried approached a random girl and she didn't know who he was, he would be labeled a creepy old guy. In fact, she would run away and then tell her friends, "zomg a creeep tried to talk to me today!"


So for women...relationships are very much situation/emotion based.

If a rich wealthy guy, such as Mark Zuckerberg, made a bad mistake on the first date. (e.g. making a homo joke or tried to make out with a girl at the end of the date) He would be out.

Despite him being
-Stable
-Driven
-Wealthy
-Level headed

I find it difficult. I'm poor, out of shape/ugly, have a weird personality, am not sexually aggressive, and must know someone (or know of them) for months or years before I know if I would want a relationship with them.

Yet if it was as easy as some on here wish us to believe then there would be a whole lot less posters on this forum. So obviously for some it comes easily but for others, like myself, it is painstakingly difficult.

The actual question went over most people's heads. The only answers I heard alluded to fears of men (players, Shallow Hals, and such). Beyond that, here is why I think many (probably not "most") women seem uninterested in men:
Higher physical standards (another bad consequence of feminism)
Narrowed gap between male and female earnings
Probably more opportunities to socialize with female friends, online and maybe offline
More enmeshment with moms and pets
Intellectual stimulation from online discussion
Sex toys (yeah, I went there)
Need for attention met online, via sites such as Facebook and YouTube

Basically, in the past, women needed men for economic support and (if outgoing) attention and probably some of their intellectual and emotional needs. Now there isn't much use for men other than good genes.

Yeah sometimes it seems that women aren't that interested in men for themselves...

And half the female population isn't taken. Why are you focussing on the half that's taken, and using it as an excuse to not get to know your fellow students? Do you do anything on campus besides go to class? Have you tried joining any clubs, newspaper staff, sports, or other activities? When you're involved in a group activity, you can't avoid talking to the women there. Easy practice socializing.

To be fair (and getting off-topic), men's interest in women is shallow in its own way. People coupling mainly for personality seems largely fantasy.

Sure. Just like every guy can be labeled gay, and every girl can be labeled a gold-digger.

What matters is, is the label true? And do you have reason to care?

From what I have heard, he is a creep -- giant issues with women, unethical, etc.

Old dude is old.

Looks like it's the opposite. For women, it is logic based. You are having an emotional response: You think they should date creeps and old guys just because they are rich. This is not logical, because women are looking for things other than money.

Of courser. And he should be. Who wants to date a guy with issues?

If you think he is so hawt, you can date him. Be thankful to all the women who rejected him and left him available for you!
