Seriously, suck it up. If you keep going on dates with a variety of different people, and keep having issues, the only constant in the situation is you. Despite pop culture, sometimes you do have to change aspects of yourself in order to find someone who loves you.

An extreme example, but if you're fat, lazy, and boring and have standards of a super model, who's funny, intelligent, and wants to play video games all the time, the odds are, you're probably not going to find anyone.

Figure out what's wrong in your standards or what's wrong in you, or just give up and go away.
The fact that pretty much no one on here falls into the category of guys who gave up for ever should give you your answer that everyone eventually has success. It's just a question of what were they doing wrong before hand and what did they change.
He already has.
He's halfway there.

I am there I just never knew that someone giving up or the idea of someone giving up on dating could bring out the anger in people and they say im not happy.

I'm not whining about you giving up. If you look at my first post in the thread I said it's not a bad idea to stop worrying about dating and better to just enjoy a hobby or free time.

I only was laughing because you started asking questions that belong on a disney channel movie.

I didn't quit dating for lack of success. Rather, I came into contact with a very bad woman and got ran through the wringer with the whole situation. I got destroyed by a woman who never loved me, and in fact probably doesn't have the capacity to love anyone.

That was almost 3 years ago, and I haven't really had the will to date since then. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but I lost my "mojo." I lost my sex drive, my desire to pursue women and relationships, and I lost my will to have a wife/family in the future. I, in fact, lost the inclination to have any close relationships with anyone, male or female, but am most closed-off/guarded with females.

I avoid women as much as I can, which due to the way I have my life structured, is pretty easy.

Look you can insult me all you want but my mother insulted me and abused me way worse than anybody could so if it makes you feel better knock yourself out just don't expect it to bother me.

Not sure what kind of advice you're looking for. If you want what advice I'd give to you as a guy in my position, who's had quite a bit of "success" in attracting women, to a guy like you, who's had none, I'd give you this:

Forget about it, you're not missing anything.

Actually, the loss of my sex drive was a great relief to me, sort of like slowly being released from the grip of an alligator. Without it, there's no reason to even look at women or drive to go through all the stupid crap that is involved with pursuing, dating and relating with women.

It's great!

I have given up for the time being. I am trying to overcome anxiety with women.
