I'm like that too. I simply do not want to put effort into attracting women. The friends that do put effort in, in reality, only do so for the status that comes with it ("I get a lot of girls! I'm so cool!"), which wears off over time.

That's not to say that I will never put effort into a woman. I would....but only if she is out of my league to begin with and I deem her as worthy of my effort.
I have male friends. I don't know anyone who has given up on women and has no interest in them. Sorry to burst your bubble.

The people who say the whole dating scene and hitting on women is supposed to be fun are people who are successful..

If you're not successful there's nothing fun about it.. It's just painful
People who are successful with dating can't understand that some people have it harder than them. This forum is a living example of that.

Yeah they don't get how never getting positive reinforcement from the opposite sex and never being successful could turn off somebody from trying..

You might not. But I do. I had a 70 year old uncle who has since passed away from cancer. He died a virgin. In his entire life, he never had any type of physical or intimate encounter with a woman. His reason? He claimed he was unattractive and women didn't like him. He gave up when he was around my age. You might not think some men give up on women, but some do.

He is in the minority - not the majority. I had an aunt who died in her 50's and never had a relationship that I know of. She was my favorite aunt and a wonderful person. That doesn't change the fact that she was in the minority and not the majority when it comes to relationships.

You're right. Me personally, I couldn't give up on women. They might frustrate me sometimes because I don't understand them sometimes. But I love them and could see myself without them.

This is not uncommon. Men will and do put forth effort on a woman whom he feels is worth the effort. So I think it is safe to say that if you are not willing to pursue, a woman can rightly assume that it's because you don't feel she's worth the effort. That's a perfect explanation as to why it makes sense for women to wait for a man to initiate. Thanks for your honesty.

Do you have money? Do you like your job? Are you good at your job?
Do you like where you live? Do you live in a 'nice' neighborhood?

Like I (and the other poster) said in this thread, it is all about Money (dinero).

People who complains and/or have 'challenged' dating life, their life already suck.

Men who have money OPEN UP opportunities!

I have plenty of money, I fail to see how it opens up opportunities. The girls don't know your loaded when they first meet you, and I'm not about to whip out my bank statement or drop hundreds of dollars on a girl in the beginning stages of a relationship. Most good date ideas don't cost a lot of money, and most of the time I cook women dinner at my place instead of going out. My place is nice enough but it isn't flashy.

If you need money to make women interested in you then you are lame.
