So I take care of business myself and relief the tension as it doesn't look like she's going to take care of me in that department.
Keep it humorous and take the pressure off both of you. She will come around.

I've been around the dating block enough to know that. So why bother? If I happen to land a couple dates it's only a matter of time before she moves onto what she perceives as the bigger and better deal once the opportunity arises.
Heh, you'll get no argument from me.

I explained to her that she was far too hot and many men would be intimidated or assume she was taken--I used myself as an example, as her friend invited me to her birthday party, which is how we got to know one another.

Many of us will see an extremely attractive woman and assume she's either taken or too stuck up to approach (or even look at). In many cases these are some lonely, lonely women, just hoping the right guy approaches...but that's another thread entirely.
I studied for a semester in Italy. Even as I guy, I noticed that the men were extremely aggressive there. Think of the stereotypes you might have heard about American construction workers whistling and cat-calling after pretty women, and that's pretty close to how many Italian men act toward women. Maybe your Italian friend wasn't used to how reserved (relatively) American men are?

She just needed to come to Memphis. I'm average looking and I still get hit on frequently.

You do realize that a woman bragging about getting hit on is about the same as bragging about being able to afford McDonalds..........

I wasn't bragging, lol. I was simply stating if a non descript female like me has guys being forward to her, the hot Italian chick would have no problem with aggressive forward men throwing passes at her here in Mtown. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but the guys here seem to have no fear of rejection. I told a few that I was married and they said they either didn't care or told me to hit them up if things didn't work out. I am well aware they were just displaying meritless bravado and weren't likely actually interested in me, but it's guaranteed she'd get hit on and with gusto round these parts.

Do his workouts include weightlifting or just cardio exercise? I believe the testosterone boost comes from increasing muscle mass. I know when we were lifting weights together--oh my gosh. Also, sex doesn't burn that many calories. It's definitely fun and all, but it doesn't compare to a brisk walk for the same amount of time. It's like the difference in exertion between a stairmaster and actually climbing stairs: moving your body through space and dealing with impact and gravity is much harder on real stairs.

Haha, I know it sounds terrible, but it's science.

And that's just P/V stuff. A good session includes oral, right? Probably? How many calories do you think that burns?

The first poster is either some incredibly frustrated and/or insecure women that has been deprived from attention from the opposite sex, or is a stooge for this silly "No Fap" movement. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, and hence assuming it is indeed the former, then some serious reflection and retrospection is in order. If as a man you are continuously getting rejected by women or as a woman you are failing to get attention from the opposite sex, then I think it is safe to say the problem is with you rather than an entire gender.

Porn is an incredibly helpful tool for many of us who simply cannot get the release through more "conventional" means so to speak, for whatever reason. There is also no evidence and thus no reason to think men, collectively, are any different today than they were than say in the 1980s.

Lastly, I remain skeptical she doesn't get any attention at all. Rather, what I believe is going on is that she is not getting attention or approached by the men that she wants her to approach. Her problem is one of a significant mismatch between relative appeal and one's standards, which seems to be rather common these days. I'm certain that she does indeed get approached, just not by the types of men she believes she is entitled to.
