'm NOT like that inside! In that photo I was probably thinking about how cool and mysterious the San Onofre Breccia (a geological formation nearby) was, or looking to see if any Ligia occidentalis were lurking around the high intertidal or something like that.

I'm a nerd, not Nietzsche! Will my outsides ever match my insides? Will anyone ever be able to see who I really am?

Aspergers sucks.

well, that's good, because nietzsche was a misogynistic, syphilitc jerk. but it's too bad that your interior and exterior don't match.

i was going back and looking at your old posts, and it seems like maybe you haven't quite as unlucky on the dating scene as all that. perhaps it has something to do with your standards?

@AspieGuy - well, considering that you seem to have such a dislike for women, then perhaps gay is the way for you to go. it seems logical.

Not sure what you are referring to - I was married (sort of) and have two beautiful children. Tried the Russian mail-order bride thing - seemed like a good idea at the time but (surprise, surprise) she started "dating" outside our "marriage" as soon as her immigration status was secure.

Other than that, I haven't had a "real" girlfriend in years...

well, compared to a lot of people on WP, you have been quite successful so far. you've had one or more marriages, children, long-term relationships, and other dating experiences. so it seems like maybe your problem isn't attracting women - it's making your relationships work on a functional level. are you attending therapy regularly?

Absolutely true, but I'm also significantly older than most here and I sincerely hope that they are farther along when they finally reach my age - I think I have the social maturity of a 17 year old.

I was in therapy for many years, got to the point where there was nothing to talk about - and I don't need to spend $200/hour to hear "stop looking, someone will come along".

Attracting women is not so much the problem as getting them to stick around for more than 5 minutes once they actually start talking to me (assuming I get that far).

well I think this is the wrong forum for you, there is the mature forum where the older people gather, cause here its infested with 17 year old men who think their lives are over cause they can't get kissed

I've been fed that line too, and frankly my patience is running out. I've been told I'm good looking but I have a fear of approaching women/rejection and I can't really have a conversation on what would interest a woman to save my life. They don't need to hear what engine is in the city's bus fleet and stuff that interests us.

It seems women have these un-reasonable expectations that we men can't possibly meet. All we really expect is a chick to be decent looking and not be a pain in the ass to be around.

And one of those expectations is that you won't whine and blame women for your problems. You need to grow up.

I've been unusually desperate lately so I sign up for Match.com

Instantly I'm looking at literally thousands of people in my area who are almost all identical (except on the outside) and looking for someone who couldn't possibly exist.

I don't understand what the problem is. You can't find anyone who interests you among all those "thousands" of people??? Seriously?

Well ok ... you may have to just keep trying. Or try a different site, as others have suggested.

Finding a good match on a dating site doesn't necessarily require any less effort than any other method. And in the end, you still have to meet the people and click with them somehow.
