It shouldn't be a mystery. You attract what you attract. It continually baffles me when people come on here expecting to get results in the dating world. It's not something owed. Honestly it's really a luck of the draw to be honest.

I said most of the ratings for women I found attractive were 6s and 7s (few were 8s and 9s admittingly but that's minority)...and that most people online have said I'm a 6 or a 7 when I've always looked 28063286028602860268206820028602860828602860260286 2x better in real life than pics.


I don't go a week anymore without at least 2 or 3 clients commenting on how handsome I am. I don't know if I'm an 8 or a 9 or a 7 or a 6. All I know is get lots and lots and lots of positive feedback about my appearance with no negative feedback so I'm certainly not below average.

Anyways, I agree with you that suburbs suck for single people my age but dude how the hell do I give up what I have? I make 15K a month while my average monthly expenses are barely 4000 (and that's in a beautiful 2,000 sqr foot house, a luxury sports sedan, eating out all the time, going out all the time, going shopping all the time). 99.9% of the world would slaughter a kitten with their bare hands to be in my position. I try hard to be very grateful for what I have but I know I can't even fathom it until I lose it (which hopefully never happens). If I lived in the city, my income would go down while my monthly expenses would probably double.

I know, but asking me to be more positive towards dating is just so damn difficult.


Keep in mind I'm a VERY positive/happy person in every other area of my life but imagining success in dating is so hard. All I can think is rejection, rejection, rejection, failure, failure, failure


in my mind, dating is the absolute hardest thing on the face of the planet.

And there is your issue (or at least one of them). It must be their fault. I mean after all, you do have a V shaped torso.

I highly doubt that- as more than .1% of the world's population have a relationship that they wouldn't want to give up to have what you have (or don't have).

Lol apparently though, you don't look better IRL!.

If you did, you would get some dates!

Right?

And someone can be very handsome and still just be a ginormous turn off, btw, think Tom Brady. The indefinable something.

Perhaps its rating everyone without even getting to know them first, that is a turn off?

Maybe the word has spread that you creepily ask other men for their ratings on women to compare?

You're doing it now.

It's almost psychotic how you come here repeatedly and post the EXACT SAME THINGS in thread after thread.

Do you really not see it?

I wouldn't slaughter a kitten to be a car salesman who cannot get a date.

I just had to throw that out there.
