People say that I just need to be confident, change clothes, take steroids, etc. Sometimes, I get the feeling I have to be an utterly psychopathic barbarian just to please someone of the opposite sex. Ruthless, callous, vicious. After all, they get ahead in society.

son, i'm sorry but i think your timing is really atrocious in creating this thread. perhaps now is not the time to be publicly lamenting your datelessness. find something else to think about for a while until this recent shooting is not so fresh in people's minds, maybe?

edit* to add: i'm not trying to be mean--i know loneliness is no fun for anyone, i have been there myself. it's just really bad timing.

whoever is telling you to take steroids is not using common sense.

i married a sweet, gentle guy. if you're like him and keep asking different girls out in a respectful way, you'll eventually find someone compatible.

see, this is part of the problem--it's extremely difficult to believe that every single female human you have interacted with in any way in life has not respected you. yet you say "every". i have been respectful to you, i am female. already you are proven incorrect.

(Note: It is not necessary to complete these steps in order, or finish them completely before moving onto the next.)

Step 1: Work out a bit. NO STEROIDS, just healthy food and LOTS of it.
Step 2: Develop some interesting hobbies.
Step 3: Work on your social skills by reading books on the subject, and going out and socializing (Don't forget the second part).
Step 4: Learn to dress well. Buy some decent clothes (Doesn't have to be expensive ones, just make sure they aren't worn, full of holes, etc). There's lots of places to get second-hand clothes that are in excellent shape for really cheap, check out second hand stores.
Step 5: Shave regularly or keep a regularly-trimmed and groomed beard. Get a decent haircut. Brush your teeth and shower every day.
Step 6: Get yourself financially sorted. You don't gotta be rich, just have your finances in order. Don't recklessly spend money. Have a couple thousand in savings. It helps a lot.
Step 7: Get yourself emotionally sorted. Learn to find your zen. You'll need to work through your emotional issues cause neurotypicals, especially women, will sense it like a neon sign hanging over your head.

Do all of the above steps, and step 8, "Build your self-confidence" will happen practically automatically.

GOOD LUCK!

I'm laughing with my girlfriend at how naive your post is.

This is an example of something you SHOULDN'T say if you're trying to find a significant other.

I have my reasons. All of the girls I've tried to start something with were either sluts or had an angle.

As hard a pill as it may be to swallow, you can't use women's treatment of you as an excuse to keep feeling the way you do about them. I used to get bullied in school and it took me over a decade to get over it and start trusting people again. How did I manage? By realizing that I was treated badly by individuals, not society at large. Every new woman you meet doesn't have access to the same perceptions that other women (the ones who didn't give you respect) have had about you, unless you first give them those perceptions. The old adage is true: Whatever comes around, goes around. I know it's hard not making sweeping generalizations about women when all or most of your experiences have been rotten, but when it comes right down to it, being negative and\or angry about it will never help your chances of getting a positive experience. You have to choose to let things slide and move on. The only thing you ought to worry about changing is your outlook. It will take time and effort but it's not impossible.

Sigh...everytime I see a thread like this, I almost feel sorry for the person who posted it, but then when I actually read the things that person says, the reason that person can't get a date becomes more evident.

Why exactly were these women sluts? Because they wouldn't go on a date with you? If you literally mean that they were the type of person who sleeps around, then why would you want someone like that anyway? (although something tells me that's not what you meant)

By all means, "have your reasons" for saying the things you say, but if you're going to carry around a chip on your shoulder you probably shouldn't expect dates to just fall into line for you..

I thought like this until not too long ago. It took me a long time to realize that the people who have meaningful relationships actually did the things in Shau's post. These are things that I have recently been working on myself. Although I have not reached my goal yet, I will keep working harder until it happens.

What's wrong with sluts? Sluts are awesome!

Also, protip: With an attitude like yours, you're SCARING AWAY all the decent women. Just a thought, matey.

Pretty much.... ::SMH:: And this guy wonders why women don't want him?

Ah, I see. The forgive and forget attitude. Well, listen here... I don't forgive or forget.
