I wonder how much this would cost. If I had the money to put out lots of adds I think it would be better to save the money & use it for to look for a mail-order bride which I would of done if I had the money & resources.

That's actually not true, it's alot easier to get a girl if you've already got one, most guys know this.
It's called social proofing.


I confirm this; three girls were sexually interested in me while I have (had soon) a gf.

The only two times a women offline was interested in me was when I was with my 1st girlfriend & a few weeks before my 2nd girlfriend broke up with me :( :x

All my male friends talk of such experiences - it happened once in front of my eyes with my coworker.

Alien creatures indeed.....

It happened to one of my friends: when he had a girlfriend many women hit on him. Now that he has been single for some years he doesn't receives many attention. It's like he was a different person.

Preselection -I think that's how PUAs call it- it's very legit.

In animal bioscience it’s called Copycat mating, it exists in the females of other species too, like the birds.

Just to clarify, all of those 3 girls knew i was in relationship, so it wasn’t “due to positive vibes” like how some try to justify it.

It’s because many women measure a guy’s social worth by who he can get and whether he can get anyone. Fact. Not a nice or logical fact, but a true one.

It’s not about “being a slut and stealing other people’s men” at all. What are you even talking about? Women play a complicated social game. Some women are exceptions to the rule and are just slu*ty. Most of the time it’s never about that.

So when asked, always lie and say I've had several girlfriends in the past. Got it.

Or claim to be a playboy who got fwbs and short encouters- this what I did and it worked like a charm, at least with those who finds me sexy.
What’s funny, that after it worked on those, this claim is no longer a lie lol.

A shame one has to lie for anybody to consider them even remotely attractive, but at 22 years old I suppose that kind of sexual history is expected of me. Naturally everyone at work either is or has been in a relationship, one guy has two girlfriends AND a boyfriend. I don't understand what they've got right that I'm missing. :?

Good looks and charm.

Charm doesn’t happen with many aspies. Since char, is being good at socializing and reading social cues. Which aspies can’t do.

I’m also ugly. Never had any woman find me sexy.

Same. Never once has a woman given any indication that I look appealing.

So with this being the case, wouldn't a dating ad like what you proposed allude to the fact that the person featured in the ad is not having success elsewhere?

I mean I guess I can see this working on dating sites, or sites based on interests of those featured, but with that said, if you're not having luck on dating sites where people are looking to partner up, I'd expect even less success on sites unrelated to dating.

I was visiting my mother at the hospital recently and her nurse blatantly made a comment about how attractive I was and how I "got the good genes" from her. My wife was with me (out of earshot) so I would assume it's a case that she can comfortably say that without any fear of rejection since I am obviously taken. I know this because another nurse tip toed around her feelings about my looks until she learned I was married.

My wife must be different than the rest because she would have preferred I was with less women, not more.

I sometimes do something similar - I am far less inhibited with my friends in happy relationships than with the single ones. And I was much more like that when I was single.
It's not about attractivity but about interpretations. If I compliment/hug/show interest to a man in relationship, it is likely to stop at that point. I don't need to hold my urge to do it. But if he was single, he could interpret it as my interest in something more with him - which was not my intention.
So I guess the nurse wanted to compliment you but make sure you wouldn't try to date her because of this.

This might put the candidate at risk of serious trolling campaigns and cyber bullying.

I believe there's a certain charm in finding a partner in the real world over online dating.
A quality and procedural chemistry that these sites try to force on us like a mad scientist but simply cannot attain.

I share your sentiments about trying something new.
I don't think it should involve the Internet, though.
