There is no woman who wants spend time with.

Henry Ford had a quote that I always thought was quite dumb, but in your case it just might be valid.

"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right."

Is it fair for a rock on the side of a road to complain it's unwanted?

What has it done to be desirable?

What about just to give up, and go on in what remains of life as single?

Personally I would probably give up after my current relationship, I have no longer the energy for dating anymore.

What can a rock on the side of the road do to be desirable?

It did not choose to be a rock, and it it has no control over the fact that nobody has any use for it.

You're right: that quote is quite dumb.

Let's see say that to a paraplegic.

Before my current relationship, I got more dates my least few years than before, and based on my experience, it's because women in their late 30s or older, take dating a lot more seriously all of a sudden, and want to settle down. Perhaps they realize the clock is running out so they take it more seriously because of that.

But this is just my experience so far, in that women settle down more when older and it's easier then.


What age do you mean by "when you got older"? You are two years younger than me, and dating still has not gotten any easier for me.

At least in my area, women all already have children by their mid to late 20s. So they are not likely to be concerned with their biological clocks.


Oh sorry, I just meant when I reached about 32, it just seemed to have gotten easier after that.

Be realistic and stay in your general looks league and age range.

If you're a 40 year old overweight and unkempt looking man, would you really have a shot with a 21 year old 10/10? The answer is no.

BUT you might have a shot with a 35 year old average looking plain Jane.


But I don't think the OP was saying he only wants goodlooking women only, did he?

A rock just accepts it is a rock and gets on with things. No moaning, no wallowing. They rock... :D

Sometimes all you can do is accept your lot in life and make the most with the cards you've been dealt.

Well I passed 32 long ago, and still nothing has improved for me.

^ I don't recall reading in your posts about what you actually did for/with women. I think we did ask

^Why do you keep giving advice to someone who doesn't want it? This only shows you're not listening to him.
