Truthfully, I'm not looking. Just commenting on the lack of reaction a get is all. I don't need to be the center of attention, but at lest feel like I am there.

I prefer to spend my free time on a lake doing some fishing or working on cars in stead of golf and so on. While some women want this kind of guy, I haven't had the best of luck finding one. I sometimes wonder if the "real deal" American man is out or something? Women say that real men wear pink. Not this old boy!lol....
I think in all reality it may have something to do with how big one mans bank account is.

Ok but that seems like a contradiction. I know there are woman who feel the same way you describe, but if you're not even interested in hooking up and finding them, what's the problem?

I have been around the block a few times. The things that make me feel complete, have little to do with people I just meet. I have Two wonderful Sons, and a life that brings me joy. And as much as I hate to admit it, people don't always make that better. they often make things more difficult. So I have my close friends, I have known for years, and meet new people from time to time. but usually because we have things in common. Not because I'm on the prowl, looking for targets of opportunity.

Yes, I agree but if the women sitting next to you at a red light knew her stuff it would help. Like the 4x4 Diesel 3/4 Ton pick-up you are in. 2 1/2 Honda's she is in=1 truck. They don't give these away anymore, do they guys?

No tricks, no facade? With all due respect, are you sure this is not an excuse to dress sloppy/young?


Regardless, IMO, this is why you are having a problems getting noticed. It's just the way it is in 2009, if you want to attract the most positive attention you need to dress in European (e.g.,Bespoke suits) style clothes. lol, I'm not even European and even I know in order to be taken seriously I need to don European clothing.

If not, dressing for the "real me" will only attract a much smaller segment of the population, and at your age, there are certain styles that you can't get away with or some styles all together you will loose credibility with your peers. For example, I cringe when I see 40-50 year old guys with sloppy dress codes, young teen style hair cuts, or young teen apparel (e.g. Famous Straps & Stars).

Again, then no reason for you to worry about feeling invisible. Just enjoy your life.

You just need to find the right woman. Good luck!
