Just to let you know that in about 5 minutes I will be walking into a meeting where I don't know anyone. I am having a mini panic attack. To this day I still do that.

But I'm a big girl and I will be okay. I want to attend the meeting and meet the people. You and I aren't that different.

^^ Yeah. Story of my life, trulies.

I've started acting social around people lately. It makes both me and them feel better. So why not?

Oh, I wasn't really annoyed with you, Dilbert, or hurt by what you'd said initially.
It seems, though, that you've only got one strike against you, as it were, while I've got two (or three, if you count the IQ).

OK.

You are counting your flaws? Laugh! I used to do that as well. Out of shape? Skinny arms? Cavity? No car? Hey four reasons why women don't want me?! !! ! :roll:

Actually... no.

I fixed my life to a point where I have everything, and my job is great, and I look handsome, and I have a Jeep Wrangler, and my home kicks ass, and I just ran in my first Ironman last month so I'm in better shape than anyone other than my triathlete competitors! And I'm still single!

There has ever been only one reason why I've been single. There still is just one reason. But I'm on my way to figuring that out as well, thanks to this board.

BTW, what's with this IQ talk? A man is not going to care about that dearie. Yes it is a terrible stereotype, but it is absolutely true.

Oh, dear. I must politely beg to differ. They do care, probably because I speak in "real life" the way I write at this forum. I make men "feel stupid," or so I've been told.

ETA: By the way, unless it's just a casual or "friends-with benefits" deal, a guy damn well better HAD care about my IQ - and offer one to match.

Yep, you have absolutely nothing to lose.

I went to the meeting, got into a public argument with a judge and the community association was so impressed that I've been nominated to serve on the board.

Showing up works!

So guys have been intimidated by your smarts? Really? So we don't care when the woman is dumb as long as she's cute and girly, but we run for the hills when she's smart?

Actually, upon second thought, no I'm not surprised!

In my case, I'm a full-time college student (which for 21 is kind of expected), going into the IT field (which is doing quite well given the economic situation we're in now) and I have a car (an old one that's breaking down and isn't pretty to look at, but it is a car)... I can't match on the physical fitness though...

Anyway, I too have been perpetually single (look at most of the threads here in L&D and look at some of my ramblings if you ever feel like it), and I can only narrow it down to one possible outcome: I am unlovable.

Sure I'm the type of guy that people want to be around... people have said I'm nice, funny, smart, and all sorts of adjectives (plus I fix computers free of charge for friends), and I have no shortage of friends in my life (at least insofar as the commonly-accepted definition of "friend" is concerned)... but when it comes to trying to find anything more intimate, people keep me at arms' length... Who is unlovable and who isn't seems to be completely random, and for those affected, it can be only a minor nuisance or a major depressive, depending on how much one desires intimacy... I seriously hope you're not afflicted as I am (it's not something that I would wish upon my worst enemy if I had one), but that may be the case...

I, on the other hand, would be running straight towards such a woman...

...and then probably end up dancing around her like apes around the Monolith...

While I have nothing against any particular model per se, my feeling is that the whole looks of models since the 70's has been this poor little waif with anorexia that had to get tough dealing with the jaded advertisers/clothing designers - in essence I sense no femininity in about 95% of them currently working, certainly none who I'd like to have a roll in the hay with, unless you include some nude models like Aria Giovanni who actually has some curves......

Anyone can be a model, depending on the artist's particular vision of beauty. I'm a photographer, so I've worked with some typical model types. It definitely wasn't my thing. Suicide Girls, on the other hand, is pretty cool. It's like modern day pin-ups, all shapes and sizes.

You are 21, I doubt you will be single forever. However, I may suggest that if you don't seem to have any issues anywhere else in your life and you can't seem to find the source of this one, it may be an idea to find a therapist that can get to know you one-on-one who may assist in finding some the reasons for your challenge and then help craft a solution. 2-3 sessions might not break the bank and be of use in the romance department.

Surely you jest - or is a loud and vehement "DUH!" in order, here?

I've observed this behavior since I was in junior high, ffs! I get to see it regularly at work, where males (especially the 6'3", cute co-worker) fawn all over an airheaded, cute-but-average, slightly chunky, very short blonde who works at the front desk.
I'm utterly ignored, except by the old and desperate beasts.

Are you tall, skinny, and cute?

No, never mind - I'm old enough to be your mother.

Bingo! I love love intellectual women.

Dancing around bit made me laugh out loud. I was just like that when I was younger. But somewhere along the way I realized that upon meeting an interesting woman I had to make my intentions known fairly quickly, or she'd lose interest. There's no easier or more comfortable way to do that than to exchange phone numbers. No pressure... no expectations of any sort; just a simple expression of interest.

Since I became more social I've been running into airheads mostly. So I get a few dates here and there but nothing long term yet.
