Edit:

The most expensive 8800GTX I've seen in the UK (at a cost-competitive retailer) is £528.61

That's $1,020.33

That number again:

$1,020.33

If he's building a new gaming machine how can he not? And if by some crazy chance he happened to choose an AGP board then LOL @ him for being dumb.

How many women have you engaged in conversation in the past year outside of work. Smiling and saying hello to a clerk in a store doesnt count.

Hence, another reason you can't get her probally - Be hot and have big bucks.

That's why I laughed at the Lexus commercial where the wife buys the husband a lexus. Haha, she spent his money buying him a car... and he's enthused over it? :Q

He probably got a gamers computer case with an uber l33t 400watt power supply. She'll blame you when this fails her. :)

Lift weights (to the point where you get "huge"), do lots of cardio (to the point where you get "cut"), get a better haircut, and a little bit of a tan, and do something with that goatee and you will be good to go.

Don't listen, Ryan!! You look pretty fine the way you are.

The right one will come along when the time is right. You just need to be patient.

being proactive is much better approach IMO. Not with women but with everything. Sitting back and waiting you can watch your life pass you by pretty quickly.

Lower standards could help.... ya know.... since you're wondering why you can't get girls that look like Internet amateur models (although given your example, maybe you haven't set the bar as high as I thought).

It doesn't take intelligence. :p The ability to not act like a total goon in front of women is a good start. After that... appealing personality, asstons of cash, physical attractiveness, "power" of any kind... those tend to help. But you don't see Stephen Fvcking Hawking bedding down with Pam Anderson (though granted she's past her prime).

You are right... to a point. I think so many people (both male AND female) spend so much time looking and focusing on finding someone, it gets frustrating and they seem to get nowhere.
To be honest, when someone least expects to find that perfect person... *poof* they come along out of the blue.
Sixone is right.

Seriously about that pic, is that an amateur photoshop job or the shittiest lighting I've ever seen?
I'm sorry, it's just that I've looked at the thing for the last 2 minutes and I can't decide.

Those shadows are trippy man.

True, but the haircut and goatee scream "I'll fix your computer after I finish watching this Star Trek episode." Not popular with the ladies...and you don't want the ones that dig that....
