I agree. It doesn't mean that it can't change. It just means that it's unlikely to.

Absolutely. It's the wanting-to-change thing, or, rather, the WILLINGNESS-to-change-by-doing-something-differently that's the rate-limiting step here!

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. If what you've been doing for 27 years has rendered you single and dateless, continuing to do the exact same thing is likely to continue to result in you being single and dateless.

What can you do differently?


and if its nothing you did, just who you are. or what if its stuff women do?
why always blame the guy. willing to bet you'd not ask a single 27 year old girl this. you'd probably tell her its just as*hole guys and she find someone.

If she was complaining that she could never find any
"nice" guys, I would suggest that maybe she needs to look elsewhere than where she currently is, and try to figure out why she is attracting the "unnice" ones.

There is no 27 year old woman on this thread wondering if it is too late for her to find love or complaining that all men reject her.

Would telling you that all the women who have rejected you are as*holes and that you should go find some different girls make you feel better?

better then you telling me I worthless trash and its all my fault and those women who you don't even know are all right to reject and call me not a real man. yes.

negative reinforcement doesn't make people happy. it only makes them more sad. but you're always side with women any women because they women. some woman could probably rape a guy, beat him and lock him in a cage and you'd probably still side with her.

if you yearn so much for a girlfriend then be sure that you're really prepared cause AS relationship is kinda complicated....besides, maybe you're just looking at the wrong locations :P just kidding..be yourself, someone will appreciate you for being you for sure

There's a lot of people out there who like to spot your weaknesses and take advantage of them, hence why you're 170$ in a hole. She probably figured she could just trade you sex for pity and money, which it seems happened.

Either way, never loan anyone money unless you fully trust them and have known them for a very long time..


That is not true, never loan money to anyone, even your family, which you know since birth, can be piece of poo and never give anything back. Better to keep everything for yourself.

Just make more money & buy yourself a robot girl-friend. Problem solved !

For cases where a cyborg-girl just won't suffice, then it's probably just a psychological-issue, something in which case you may as well just go & see a hypno-therapist for (once you've made more money of course).

it is not unheard of for a guy to be 25 and older to have never had a girlfriend, even over 30, but it is almost never heard of for a girl to be over 25 and never had a boyfriend

Have you shared a pic and gotten feedback on whether you really ARE as horribly ugly as you say you are? Because unless you're in, say, the bottom 5% EMPIRICALLY looks-wise, how you look is NOT exclusively why you don't get dates. Put another way, just because you think you're hideously ugly doesn't mean you actually are.

The ulcer? Is probably cureable with antibiotics.

The skinny thing? If the ulcer makes you super-thin, anti-biotics will solve it in a week or two. If you're skinny because you come from a family of skinny peeps, well, you're a skinny dude. (I'm a tall beanpole skinny girl... who was nicknamed Skeletor in high school and chose to embrace it. Because I didn't really have another option, I had a stylish friend help me shop to find stuff that looked good. My style "thing" turned out to be very short skirts with opaque tights. Try to find the skinny dude equivalent).

Bad social skills? Is it really bad social skills or do you just dislike people, all people? If it's the latter, you don't HAVE to date and if it's the former, you CAN improve your social skills (therapy, improv class, toastmasters, etc).

The CV and job skills are likely somewhat fixable too. Or at least improvesble.

The feeling that your cursed? Only you can (or can choose not to) fix that. Because either way, it's probably a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Kyle Maynard was a popular star athlete in high school and a successful sportsman, entrepreneur and motivational speaker in adulthood. Zachary Roloff is the star of a somewhat popular TV series. Both have been independent and gainfully employed since completing their educations and neither lives at home with their parents as adults.

What do you have in common with either dude besides a disability?
