That's fine. But then you can't complain that you don't date or have relationships if you don't even try. I can't complain about not winning the lottery if I don't buy a ticket.

Egh I would imagine the stories of hostility, verbal abuse, even assault, and more at sites such as Hollaback would suggest it may not be as 'simple as that'.

I haven't complained even once. I look at it as an " it is what it is" situation. I blame no one, not angry in the least, and certainly not complaining about anything.

I have met guys who believe they have a better chance at winning the lottery than getting a girlfriend.

Attraction is very formulaic.

Those guys need to go for women in their league (not just looks, but a balance of social status, etc) and play the odds with the women who are bound to like them the most.

It's like gambling. Hitting on a hot blonde if you are a certain type of guy is like playing the mega millions. You literally may have a better chance to win the mega millions buying 10 tickets every day than hitting on 10 hot blondes every day.

If you hit on women more in your own orbit, then its more like playing scratch off. You'll lose a ton more than you win, but people do win.

I'd bet that your friends are looking at unattainable women, because there are plenty of ladies where you live. Flocks of them, all over the downtown area. But if they don't have any experience, then they better lower their standards and work up that ladder. But before they do that, they need to work on their self esteem. Get their hair cut at a good salon, changing their overall style, can change their luck. Spend some money on new clothes. And I guess there is the safety in numbers strategy, but 20 guys who haven't asked a girl out, never dated, that can't be a benefit to changing their situation.

As for the girl giving out a wrong number, she probably didn't want to see the look of rejection on his face. Maybe she has been rejected point blank, and it hurts her. She is a kind person, so she doesn't want to do it to someone else. In her mind, getting the wrong number gave her a little happiness, which may be short lived, but it's something. So she did what she thought would be the easiest on them....

Even if a guy resembles a mangled chupacabra, he can find a girlfriend.

Oh, I see, she doesn't look like that pornstar guys whack to every night.

The title of the thread is unfortunate because the thread never really was about whether a man existed that absolutely no woman wanted to date. It has evolved to be about whether or not there exists a significant population of straight men that don't even try to date women because they can't get dates with women that are attractive to them, and are unwilling to lower their standards far enough to date women that actually would date them.
