Same story, retold for the umpteenth time. Are you really expecting any different answers?

I'm just so frustrated because I see no real solutions. My co workers make fun of me for my life long perma-single status and now I just go along with it and poke fun at myself

I seriously don't even understand how any male dates with how incredibly hard women make it to be. I sometimes wonder how the human race has existed to this point.

Unfair assessment how?

I agree there is nothing wrong with average girls.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and state there must be something very off putting about you.

I refuse to believe that no one, ever, has hinted what that is.

Perhaps you stand there mentally rating girls 3, 5, 4.5 whatever, and it shows?

You also don't seem remotely interested in females as you know, people - just status symbols.

Hey Hustler! I see, you're still trying to solve the mystery.

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.
You're still wrong. Might they want to make what you've described here for a living?

Sure.

Would they give up their relationships and families AND their ability to find another relationship? Doubtful.

You're not Warren Buffet. People aren't gonna make deals with the devil to make less than 200k a year selling cars, man.

Your idea that they would is clear evidence of your inability to grasp human motivation.

Put another way...

Would you take a 50% pay cut if it meant you could find and keep a woman you'd like to be with?

And, as I have told you ad nauseum...

This is why you are not getting dates.

You are not asking.

That you do not see this is further evidence of your disconnect with reality.

That's completely different from not being able to get a date. You keep saying dating is so tough, but in actuality you never even try. You posted about the ball game with all the cute girls ... whom you were sure were taken and would reject you.

What happened to your buddy's wife, the one from a couple days ago? You told us that she flattered you nonstop and wants to set you up with her friends. That's good! What happened with that?

I saw that you posted on someone els's thread. Progress! Keep trying.
