When was the last time you asked a woman on a date?

I've been with a couple women in my life. When they're interested, the signs are unmistakable to anybody with a semblance of social skills. You guys want me to sit there and bother women who want absolutely nothing to do with me. I just don't get it
But, by your own admission, the women you've been with were not the cream of the dating crop.

Of course those women were more likely to make their interest VERY obvious.

My guess is that you get nervous around women you are attracted to, and miss subtle cues.

I had a guy friend years ago who did that all the time. He was social, made friends easily, but was oblivious to subtle flirting.

It's important to note: Getting dates "easier" and having a easier time dating are not the same things.

Based on this and your previous threads it would seem that You're perception is your issue getting what you want from others, not the others you are attempting to receive from.

1 made it obvious but couple gave subtle signs

I'm so good at reading body language, I can read it from a mile away. I'll bet every dollar I have that I'm not missing signs.

Do you guys think my problem is that I'm Armenian in a predominantly white area? I look very white/European for an Armenian guy (many of us look heavily ethnic/Arab) but maybe that's not enough? White women want the all american look - they don't want the dark wavy hair and olive skin... and I really can't date middle eastern women because I'm so white washed and I'm agnostic. I hate Islam

When was the last time there was even an ounce of hope that a decent looking woman was attracted to me? Basically never

You dont need a date, you need a therapist, playa.
This is why OP can't find someone to date.

Maybe. Some women don't go for the olive-skinned guys. That is true.

But, plenty do like dark hair and olive skin. I'd say it might decrease your options, but not dramatically.

You need good female friends who will set you up with their single friends.

That's a good point to make. Absolutely.

Your problem is you. You have a bad attitude. You need to learn coping strategies for dealing with a difficult environment. Every young single man has to deal with it. Most guys find ways to get girlfriends by your age. You are not getting it done even though most guys even with the deck stacked against them can get it done. Get into a therapist's office and work on yourself.

me and you have the same needs. The difference is that I can't find anybody decent while you can't find anybody who fits all 50,000,000,000 pages of your laundry list of demands
Two more reasons they won't date you is because you are so mean and you have a superiority complex.
