Some points (I just kind of skimmed this long thread)

1. If you have a big nose (guy) it is not a death sentence. There are many guys with 'big noses' who have women/are married. My bro used to resemble Al Pacino when he was younger, has a big nose, and women were all over him (no clue WHY but then again I am his sister..). My husband has a typically English nose and we joke about it but he's attractive to me...

2. If you are a nice guy and can't find a NICE girl, chances are she is sitting home because she doesn't do clubs, bars and the usual accepted outlets for meeting men. A lot of women are not comfortable in those venues. How you and she connect--I don't know.

If you can't "find" someone, then you have to consider all the people you're passing up. People you see every day, but still overlook. For example, cashiers come in both genders and all ages. Waiters and waitresses--do you consider them? Or aren't you seeing them because you don't go out to restaraunts when single? Well, even fast food places have people of all ages working there.

But you maybe don't even give them a second look.

He is right when he says it's too much work but if he makes all those mistakes, then you should clearly show that to him so at least he's out of the dating seen.

I love that look. That guys nose is even crooked, but it doesn't bother me. Now Owen Wilson is another story, his funky nose bugs the heck out of me. I couldn't wake up every morning looking at that.

Hi AC,

Many women do consider looks. It is however much more variable than with men.

Hi GypsySoul22,

What do you say we assemble field agents backed up by a tactical team. We can just set up surveillance, and when we spot someone acting nice and living a single life style depending upon our profile metrics, we can dispatch those field agents. If they seem suitable by fact checking and field agent interaction, we can sent out a tactical team to hit them with a paint ball. There he or she is people. Go get em.




Stand still you decent fellow...

I have a friend who can't ever get a woman. He's a nice guy, but it's pretty obvious why:

1. He's grossly overweight and does nothing about it.

2. He has a horrible, ratty haircut. Does nothing about it.

3. He's pretty negative, and if you ask him what's up, he will go on about everything bad or annoying that has happened lately.

4. He has a really boring job. That's not a problem. In fact, it may even be an interesting job in computer programming. Who knows? The problem is that he won't stop droning about the minute details of what he does or his latest projects to the point that you go searching for a gun to shoot yourself and end the misery.

5. He has no sense of appropriateness sometimes. Took me aside at my own wedding to catch me up on all his problems.

6. He has really, really geeky hobbies. I mean, really geeky. Which is fine. To each their own. But he will actively make fun of other people's hobbies and has said he would never take a girl dancing because he thinks dancing is dumb.

7. It's always about what's wrong with everyone else with little or no efforts towards self-improvement.

Hi stan4,

A reliable metric to identify Homo sapiens is that many of them do not attempt to attract mates and do actively repel them by a quixotic and prideful hubris.
