| I've been doing some deep thinking about being 29 and never having a kiss or girlfriend. I know my face is very below average and even though weight loss can fix some of it, I feel I might need cosmetic surgery to take care of the rest. Here my link: https://imgur.com/a/LGZLAAD |

| While I don't dispute that when you first meet someone physical attractiveness is important, I'd point out three things. The first is probably obvious, that different people find different things attractive and that we are not the best judges of our own attractiveness. The second is that people her... |

| A recent bombshell I found regarding the importance of personality. It matters, but not in the sense of being constant for any context of social interaction. Basically, if you meet someone within the first 5 seconds, and they start turning their head to the side or looking disgusted/surprised, then ... |

| I've reviewed topics on WP before, so I hope it doesn't sound redundant. A quick introduction, I'm 29 and never had a date or first kiss. I feel that being socially awkward has a role to play in this, which is why I hate being on the spectrum. I'd like to know any strategies that may help in dating... |

| I guess the Halo Effect is real. People see an attractive person and assume positive personality characteristics about them, like if they're Zac Efron or Justin Timberlake. |

| What would you do in real life to improve your chances of meeting a woman in real life? I'm currently going out to a young adult church group, but I think the problem is that I'm overweight and my looks are holding me back. Here's an idea, if you go to the Instagram page @pursuitlbs you'll see the ... |

| You haven't said whether you are looking for a partner for a long-lasting relationship or whether you would like to go out on casual dates with several different women. If you're looking for casual dates (presumably including casual sex) then it might be true that women who are also looking for tha... |

| If it helps for context, I was obese the past 5 years and just started recently slimming down. My height is 5'10". Now I'm at 183 lbs when I started last year at 205 lbs. Another factor is balding; looking at earlier photos of myself, I had a full head of hair and now it's significantly thinne... |

| I think it helped when I figured out that relationships are just a specialised form of friendship, and that if I became good at making friends generally, then relationships would likely follow. And it helps relationships to work well if your partner is also your best friend. Also it's easier to bea... |

| I've been using Tinder and Bumble for over a year and barely got any success using those apps. At most I got like 8 matches and 5 of them were bots and the rest were just uninterested that never replied when I asked "Hi, how's your day?". It's frustrating because I'm introverted and was ho... |
