Go out. Go to your local meetup, lots of cute girls there. 2% who actually get dates? FML, where'd you get the stats from

Everyone keeps telling you to go to a therapist. Do it! Much more productive use of time than starting Internet threads.

Well, I'll contribute.

Where do I meet women that I date? Here's the list, in descending order:

Online
Co-ed activities/sports
Through mutual acquaintances
In social settings (bars, etc.)
Work

That's just by numbers of people. The activities/sports has BY FAR the most success with compatibility, etc.

I don't even think one piece of advice would even help to lead me to approaching a woman and end up not working, I just give up on women and never approach them, they will just begin complaining about too much pick-up artists harassing them for their numbers, so I really don't know what it takes to date a woman since I probably fail to meet some of the requirements, such as being [mod cut] or looking handsome and having the money. Seeing other guys with women makes me feel a bit jealous and makes me feel so doubtful that I would ever find someone. It honestly sucks to see other guys dating girls who they don't even deserve to date. I feel hopeless about finding a soul-mate for myself, trust me you are not the only one.

I am curious by your continued assertation that you "make friends" wherever you go. Can you elaborate? I remember you once saying you "made friends" at a ballgame. Did you really become friends with people? See them now, go out with them? Or do you mean you talked to some people at a social event?

Your over-inflation of, well, everything (or in this case, under-inflation--where did you get that 2% of men date?), is a really telling point of your personality, one that you don't seem to see.

I have a group of about 6 friends. We are all in relationships. Out of the 6 (7 if you count me) 4 met the their boyfriends at a bar/out one night. He bought her a drink or they were in line for the bathroom (this is the best way to meet people at bars lol) and just hit it off. The three others (including me) met their boyfriends online. I just went to my first friend wedding for a match.com couple. My boyfriend and I met on an app and it turns out we lived in the very same building! No one was getting to know someone every day and it let to a relationship. "Getting to know the person" is the whole point of dating. This isn't high school where you are sitting at the same lunch table every day.

Its the circle of life.
I've calculated the number before

I've hung out multiple times with 130 people in my life. I currently have a good 15-20 people I would call my friends. I could probably have a lot more if I didn't work so damn much and had more time to socialize. It has never helped me at all in dating.

I have a very active and enjoyable life except for my immense struggles in dating

I don't do fun stuff?

In January, I'll be going to Miami for 5 days - my buddy has a beautiful apartment on the water and we'll be partying like rockstars. In March, I go to Hawaii for another 7 days - another buddy's parents have a beautiful Condo on the Big Island so we will have a great time

My lifestyle is absolutely magnificent.

I think he said the 2% of men here.

Making friends just means getting along great with people at an event

I didn't ask to see them again because I barely have enough time for the friends I currently have.

I was being facetious
