When you know you're unattractive to women there is no point trying. Its akin to banging one's head against the wall repeatedly.
Do not count me amongst the resentful.
I've known many guys who threw in the towel when it came to women. These guys aren't even bitter or mean, very nice guys involved in their communities and help out the homeless. Dating is not for everyone.
I just chalk all this hand wringing about never asking a woman out down to evolution at its best, weeding out the weakest and less likely to survive.
There are a good number of useless selfish people breeding. The deadbeat dad with 34 kids with 17 different women come to mind. The rest of society has to pick up the tab on his poor choices. But I guess that guy is better than some nerd virgin who lives at home with his parents. At least working people don't have to pay for the nerd virgin through their taxes.
Wow, all this hatred for people who are just not social. smh.
I wonder if anyone has actually any real scumbags in life.
Not everyone is a social human being. If someone dislikes you for that, then that's their problem. I myself am very introverted and it's who I am. I have no desire to be popular or the life of the party. I'm not harming anyone at all or bothering anyone. Just because someone is extroverted doesn't mean they're interesting or fun to be around.
Agreed. When I came on here searching for answers, everyone just told me to go see a therapist and to stop dating. That was bad advice. Instead, I tried a different dating strategy and that appears to be working out much better than my previous strategy. If I listened to the advice here, I would probably still be depressed and would still not have a solution to my problems.
Therapy is fine in certain situations, but, in many cases, it's just mental masturbation. It's copout advice from people that don't have a solution.
It's kind of hard to tell who needs therapy and who doesn't from a computer screen.

I don't know why some people just can't understand this.

Its not that I have thrown in the towel its just that I can't see the possibility of success.
Slow down here people. Being introverted or extroverted is not a determining factor for people being interested in having, or their ability for maintaining relationships. They just approach social interaction differently. Introverted people tend to shy away from overt social interaction, but it does not mean they are disinterested in any human contact or companionship.
Introverted individuals often have very high quality, and intimate (not sexually but just on the level of closeness) relationships with their partners.
"Introverts" who are so introverted they are unable to approach women, or begin to form any kind of social relationships which may be along some kind of romantic path are more likely suffering from a deeper form of social anxiety (which may be more of a problem) then simply being introverted by nature.
I think those that express they cannot even see someone being interested in themselves, and declare they have no way to meet women using introverted nature as an excuse that they have a much deeper problem than being socially introverted, and that their own self image and self esteem issues (and corresponding utter lack of confidence) is causing anxieties and holding themselves back.
