So you have never had one night stands?

I've had a few. Just left me wanting more, after one night I'm just starting to figure her out and then she's gone. What's the point? The first few intimate nights with a woman are the most awkward and least pleasurable because we haven't figured each other out yet or gotten truly comfortable with one another. Why keep reliving the worst sexual part of a relationship over and over?

So you are basically looking for someone that has the same views on sex as you do. I can understand that. I was the same way.

Huh, I'm really sorry you find the first couple of times to be bad. They're different than later stages for sure, but they're incredibly exciting in general. I can't really ever feeling uncomfortable either, just plain excited.

I find them bad and uncomfortable when compared to once the relationship gets fully off the ground. It's certainly exciting but that excitement lasts many months for me since I don't sleep with women I'm not very attracted to in a multitude of different ways (physically, mentally, "spiritually" for lack of a better term, aka how pure of heart she is, kind, loving, compassionate, empathic, etc etc.) and who I want to be with much longer then one night.

I could sleep with different women every single week if I wanted to, but I don't. That's what I'm looking for in a long term partner.

Sorry to hear that. They're different. The newess of connecting with a new person for the first time. The knowing someone's body that comes from a longer relationship is also great, it is different though. They're both awesome.

Long term partners aren't generally found without short term partners first, and often long term partners and short term partners come from a first encounter.

Still in this day an age, a large number of marriages and long term relationships come from hookups or what where thought to be one night stands (initially) and relationships sprung from them.

Default Single because of attractiveness?

Hey, I'm curious if any guys here struggle in their dating life because of attractiveness. Meaning, you're a good looking guy but some girls are intimidated because of this? That why you're dating life suffers? I don't really go out of my way anymore to date. But when I did, I've been told by some other girls that I'm out of their league (meaning I was too put together for them). Not bragging, just repeating what I was told. I don't really care much to date anymore. They would still go on dates with me though. So, is it possible that someone can be attractive enough to have a dating life that suffers because of it? I'm mainly looking to hear from the guys (since I'm a guy trying to get a guys point of view), but won't mind hearing from the ladies also.

Moderator note: This post and those following have been merged into a prior thread on the same topic.

Some good looking guys have inflated ego and undesirable character flaws. I think this, not their appearance, is a cause they might be struggling.
Probably the same apply to attractive women.

Some attractive men have extremely high standards. They don’t want to settle for someone that they don’t feel is attractive enough, smart enough, honest enough, caring enough, driven enough, successful enough, etc etc etc.

Looks mean little for women. Looks do help and will make it a bit easier (or harder as sometimes a shy man that is good looking won't approach a woman and she won't approach him), but if a good looking guy comes across as timid, boring, overtly stupid (even though I've seen many people get away with this one) or any other trait that makes it look like a man isn't fun: that's when men struggle with women. And personality is far more difficult to change than say, lose weight.
Also, some women perceive attractive men as both more likely to cheat and more likely to leave long-term relationships.

Yes. Most people assume you're taken.

However ... this summer weren't you posting that you struggled with dating, and were unable to get into a relationship, or weren't into the women who are into you? It's possible that it's more than appearance.

It sucks when you think you're doing most everything right but it still ain't happening.

When I was really young I was leery of super-nice-looking guys because I assumed they must always get what they want, therefore I might get played.

Later on I realized people are just people.
