Stating anyone else in your position would feel the same simply ignores the simple fact that people aren't stupid enough to do the same thing for 20 years, realize failure and then complain about it without looking immature.
I said I have always tryed to change my outlook, perspective, how I do things. I feel I was not doing the same thing but changing how I do things and still failing. Read what I said.
TWENTY years of rejection. You're not changing enough or your changing the wrong things.
Assume for the sake of argument you ask a girl out once a week. Not too unlikely or difficult. That is asking out over 1000 women.
Assume you have a 1% conversion rate, an obscenely low number. That's 10 woman in 20 years who have agreed to go out with you on at least a date. That is in no way total rejection
But I don't believe you're the type to make large changes. A slight attitude change here, a different outfit there and you would consider it a valid change. However, I've been wrong before.
So what have you tried in the 20 years? Experience is wonderful, and sharing it would help other people situations similar to yours - and you'd be saving them a decade or two of pain (i.e. what not to do).
