I'm sure there is. Like in China, where 2010 estimates show about 52 million more men than women. The US has about 4 million more women than men, so I guess there will be some cat women keeping themselves company.

I believe that the right person for me is Wentworth Miller. I just need to transition into a man and then maybe I'd have a shot.

1. 46, average height, hardly any hair anymore, no butt, skinny legs, big beer belly, slightly below average face. Gets laid all the time because he is not shy and just hits on women he likes. He said if one out of 50 respond, he is happy! He said women like how bold he is. He doesn't care about rejection. If we wouldn't work together, I might have tried him out when I was single.


2. 42, looks average, but finds himself ugly. Never had a gf. Probably never will because he is too shy. He wants a gf but does NOTHING about it. Refuses to go on dating sites because he feels to ugly to even have a chance. It's sad to watch because he is getting more and more depressed and would be a great bf.


3. 35, smoking hot, gym rat, muscles, super nice. Desperately looking for a gf, goes out a lot but is too shy to approach and women usually don't approach him either. I think the issue here is that women think he is too hot and don't even bother. He had gfs in the past but has a hard time finding one since 2 years.


My point - no matter how you look like, don't be shy!! You can't win if you don't try!! Looks are secondary, just be bold and put yourself out there and approach.
I'm a mix of 2 and 3. I'm introverted and shy and find it extremely difficult to approach, especially with strangers. Once the ice is broken i'm fine and i'm a good conversationalist but I never get anywhere in bars.

You know, I think it's nice to believe that there has to be someone out there for everyone, or at least yourself. On the other hand, I don't really think I end up with a GF anytime soon.

And I am not looking for the one, but just some to have a very casual relationship with. Not in the next month as I'll be moving...and trying to establish myself in a new city...but not too long after I were to find employment there. It'd be nice to have someone to cheer up and be with...

It'd be nice to have a lot of things.

However, don't get so caught up in daydreaming, that you forget about the real world around you.

You know what kind of messed up, baggage-laden, nutbag chicks they get?

Water finds/seeks it own level.

I hate this saying with a passion. As if you can rank people.

OP,


I am not sure how to answer this. Most of my friends are married - family too. I did not think that it was possible for me. Mostly due to looks. Up until a few years ago, I suffered from strabismus (crossed eyes). During that time, I met my husband in the gym. He is very handsome and prior to my makeover, we were not physically matched at all.


Now, post surgery and post weight loss, we are equally yoked lol.


I guess what I'm trying to say is: If I can meet/marry someone, I'm sure that anyone can.

Geez, you say that as if cross-eyed people never date or get married.

I don't think "water meets its own level" is about ranking, it's a more pessimistic way of saying "birds of a feather flock together."
