Brantly, you said we were talking about PURELY PHYSICAL.

So apparently your Purely Physical isn't quite up to par.

So to speak.

I had to do that because I was so curious whether I was only going for women above my league. My co workers confirmed my suspicions that I was not.



Just FYI, I look at women in a pretty simple way - "would date" or "would not date", I don't rate on numbers.

I almost think you have done just fine 50 or so years ago, lol. Back then, having success like you do meant you would be able to find a woman pretty easily. Nowadays, that doesn't mean anything AS MUCH.

I'm not saying that this should mean that I have dating success, I understand money means nothing in dating which is totally fine. I'm just saying that makes it very very hard for me to change my situation.
Sorry but you sound really annoying. Attractiveness includes personality and sorry but I would get tired of hearing you brag all the time about yourself.

I agree 100%


and I'm okay with that, it's just tough for me to change my situation. I'm very happy to be where I'm at in all areas outside of dating.

I'm a huge sports fan so I workout a lot, play in a football league, go to sports events
I love videogames
I love watching certain TV shows so I binge on shows like game of thrones and walking dead
I love food so I love going to different restaurants and grilling food myself
I love music and I'm always trying to broaden my horizons - listen to country, rock, metal, techno, rap, etc...
I love dogs so I love playing with my roommates' pitbull and training her to do different tricks and running with her
etc... etc....
You sound like a very average dude to me...nothing stands out as interesting or anything that would spark my interest if I were looking at you as someone I want to get to know.

Seems like you should be able to get average girls very easily.

yea I don't know what to make of my appearance. Some online have said I'm average, everybody in real life says I look fantastic. If I'm as handsome as everyone claims, I would be getting dates but I don't so I don't know.

I try hard to look good, be in shape, dress nice, be very healthy. I try to make the best of myself, that's all I can do.

All I want is a woman my age who takes care of herself. Most women who are unattractive to me is because they just don't really try. If you try, almost everybody can be pretty decent looking.

I don't think that's an unfair assessment


and there's nothing wrong with average girls. I'm perfectly happy with a girl who has the same interests as me.

Can you tell us what happens when you ask out someone that you like?

I rarely do


I have a crippling fear of rejection and fear of being judged. I feel like I'm severely bothering or annoying women when I ask them out so I will only do it if they show signs of interest, which never comes from anybody decent looking.
