1. You're not asking the right girls.
Are you?

What kind of girls do you ask out?

6. Believe it or not I think the problem is looks.


I'm 36 but told by everyone that I look like I'm in my early 20s.

That means women my own age don't notice me or think I'm
for them and I went out once with a 19 year old and it was a
disaster.

Maybe I'm imagining it but I think it lies at the heart of the
problem.

8. Why wasn't that an option LOL?
Maybe you can go somewhere where 19 year olds would definitely NOT go?

Do you "act your age"?

Eh, don't worry. I'm sure that the right woman is wondering why some young lookin' 36 year old hasn't crossed her path yet.

:)

9. LOL


I realized I should have made it an option.

Maybe it's my fault. If I go in with the assumption
that they will think I'm too young maybe I start to
act dejected and seem too young.

It's a thought.

:spank:

3. My problem is that 99% of the people (not just women) I meet...
...simply don't interest me. I'm sorry if that sounds elitist, but it's the truth.

Oh, and when I say "meet," I mean in person, not in cyberspace! So let's not get all offended, OK? Thank you!

4. if you don't ask, don't expect anyone to read your mind
In this society, the woman still has to assume that if you were interested, you'd ask. If you wait to be asked, you are going to be high maintenance by definition, and it's already tough enough for women in this world without having to cater to a man who expects his thoughts read.

Not saying you're really like this...saying that this is how a woman might perceive you if you don't do the asking.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

5. You got a bad personality, your feet stink, you don't love Jesus, and
your mother dresses you funny.
Outside of that, I think you're cool.
:thumbsup:

7. I don't know about you. I could tell you that they don't like me.
My problem is that when I know that I can't win, I don't try.

10. no date?
This is great. My daughter believes all the men are taken. I guess that's not true after all.

11. You live in Florida and you are insanely neurotic
I mean, that's why you haven't asked me out yet, isn't it?
