Dude, you say that you don't want to get laid, but it's apparent that that's all you really care about. If you want true companionship, there are probably dozens if not hundreds of girls at your college that would want to date your kooky ass, but they might not be "hot chicks." You've got to decide what it is you actually want.

If you're only 20, you also need to calm the fsck down a bit too. You probably won't get married for at least another 12 years, so just chill out dude.

I would ask out some girls, but NONE appear to be interested in me :(
or at least not ones that I am interested in,

*sigh* maybe I just need to drop my standards

Dude, you are NEVER going to get laid with this attitude... NEVER. I know it's all going in one ear and out the other, but eventually you'll understand...

Or give the girl 20ml of Atropine before-hand. ;)

But that won't stop the threads...:(

Women love being pursued as long as its tastefully done. Letting her shamelessly know you're interested and buying little things like chocolate, etc, will earn you some points............Eventually they'll come around once you've softened them up a bit..........Most all do! ;)

Why the heck do they take so daang long to soften up?!?!? They take WAAAYY longer than guys!

just don't worry about it.. if you are conscious and worrying about the problem, that won't help.

eventually you will find someone... so just don't sweat it mang.

But yet, I have a personality that can pull the greatest A-game in the area and I can only contribute that to confidence. Dropping your standards might mean you need to stop chasing the A+++ girls, but it shouldn't mean that you settle for someone your not happy with. Don't worry, you'll stumble upon someone sometime someday. ;)

What the heck, what in my post makes it look like I don't have confidence. I have enough confidence to post my story up life story up here,
I have enough confidence to come back to this forum and feel good about myself no matter how many ppl diss me.
I have enough confidence to approach and talk to women,
I think my confidence, and my perception of myself is not off at all, and is at where it should be, how is it off?

how am i lacking? how do i lack confidence?

Get a ring. Percieved to be married = attraction.

Fvcked up isn't it? A few years ago (I was 20 at the time) I bought a simple white gold wedding band as an experiment. A friend of mine was married and chicks were usually all over him. We decided to see how much of it was in the ring. I can't say exactly how much more tail I pulled but it was certainly more than usual. I was pulling at a pretty respectable level before the ring too. If you have no other game, get a ring. It's foolproof. There's my how-to-get-ass tip of the week for you guys ;)

so what the heck do you say when they ask about the ring? ;)

okay, so eventually i want to be having good sex with a hot wife. And in the mean time I want to be cuddling and kissing a hot woman,

but is it at all unreasonable to ask to at least get a girlfriend within the next 10 years? Yea, I know I may not be getting married in the next 10 years, but what about a friggin girlfriend, that would at least tie me over. I dont want to be in a friggin drought for that entire time!

It's no secret that he is skywalker66. I'm not sure why he's allowed to get away with it. Maybe pity stays the mods' hands. He's like our own little Smeagol.

Good Smeagol.

I think the mods get a kick out of seeing this guy get so thoroughly abused by the members here and still come back for more.

well then so be it, maybe i wont get a girl,

but nor will get a girl if I just sit on my ass and "wait" for things to happen. which is precisely what anything other than what I am doing, would be.

So i dont really see what the loss is. I feel that my odds of getting a girl are betting by taking the first option than the option that you propose.

I sat on my ass, not caring all the way thru highschool, and got nowhere. I'm sorry but I only know how to do 2 things, sit on my ass, or try

I see guys just as horny and obsessed as me, and they manage to get girls, so how would I not get a girl? I thought persistence to a certain point was a good thing.

You're trying too hard. Just live your damn life normally, and you'll find that perfect someone.
<-- realized this after his first GF

You're not going to like this advice (neither is anybody else) but start going on practice dates. Go out with girls that you don't necessarily find attractive. BE NICE TO THEM, they need practice dates too. It's hard to find the "girl of your dreams" if you've never dated anybody before... so start slow and work your way up.

I know that sounds awful, but that's just the way it is. It's tough to be good at something if you've never had any practice...

PS: I'm not actually suggesting you tell someone it is a practice date.. but lower your standards a bit and date on a casual basis... once you're more comfortable in the whole dating situation you'll find yourself getting more and more social around people.

I'm going to need a first g/f in order to realize this too.

Well your not ugly but do the hair and get some new glass's if you want?

You are probably after the wrong girls. Girls find a certain 'type' or 'look' attractive and you probably are not what THEY want. BUT when you are WHAT they WANT it is easy.

Just keep asking girls out on dates or what not.

If you are asking a lot of girls out like this or so you WILL find ONE that will say yes. Ask random girls in the streets for their numbers and ask if they want coffee. I'm sure if you do this to the girls you will get a number with one of them for being THAT bold. If not keep going at it. After a few weeks or months you will have a girls number.

Get back to the gym. Don't starve yourself of carbs just eat modorately and hit the gym.

Guys like a girl with a nice body etc so it would stand to reason girls would also.

It can't help but increase your chances right? Go buy some trendy cloth's also but don't be a label wh0re. Some stuff made by more upmarket label's look sh!t to me.

Lots of guys HERE have hot girlfriends so you DO HAVE HOPE! If a guy here can do it so can the rest of you. The trick is to find a girl that is attracted to you for whatever reason be it your humour, personality, looks etc.

Me I got myself a gorgeous gf. Why? She thinks I'm attractive and loves me for being me :D. But if I tried myself on other girls I'd get rejected as maybe they don't like me or the type of guy I am etc.

Chin up and ask the girls out. Also note not everyone gets gf's this early on. Some years on but they get a gf. Also not everyone has a hot gf by what other people say, but they are hot to each other.

You keep comparing girls' traits to guys' traits. Why not just date a guy instead and save yourself the trouble?
