The Competition: On Quashing Them
The demand for females is ONLY higher because guys don't know how to control themselves. Ugly girls have the same equipment as hot girls, so they are just as capable in that department, which is all the guy cares about. Looks don't really matter if it's just a one nighter. Women can afford to be picky because guys hunt them like a horde of zombies. At any given time, something like 40% of the population is single (a large % is under age or old though). Women are then seen as more desirable because a single guy might ask out 5 of them (since he's unattached) in a night, whereas the women just sits and waits and feels desirable. (Also, you need to consider that guys are notorious cheaters! Thus, 1 guy can have 2+ women to himself, limiting the supply to other men and thus causing the perceived increase in "demand").
To put it in more statistical terms, something around 90% of the population ends up getting married. I wish 90% of the girls I met were physically attractive, but that isn't the case. Therefore, people marry people that aren't physically attractive and thus "less desirable" then their attractive counter parts.
Finally, what do you think would happen if we had more females than males in our population? If there were 10 females for every male, I doubt the perceived demand would change at all (I'd ask out 10 women no problem), but the real demand would for sure be on the women's side because (assuming the guy only marries 1 girl and doesn't cheat) only 10% of the female population will get to be married.

Guys dont know how to control themselves? What makes you so sure that they really can? The average man's sex drive is higher than the average womans sex drive. Im really curious where you get your stats from.....particularly the one claiming that 40% of the population being single.
Exactly. The "dating" atmosphere, as described by others on this board, keeps sounding like a job interview... too high-stress, not enough actually getting to know one another or just enjoying it...
Doing such things with women has yielded no end of friends out of the female gender, but I still haven't found an actual girlfriend yet... That's why I mentioned the "friend zone" before... it's a real obstacle for me, and I can't seem to ever get past it...
The surest route to defeating NTs is to attack their reputation since this is their lifeblood. Humiliation, questioning of their sexual orientation, etc. are perfect. With their reputation in tatters, they may behave erratically, furthering the downward spiral to your benefit. The idea is to give yourself every advantage over the competition possible. If this sounds harsh or even brutal, remember that it's necessary if experiences proves that you cannot attract a mate by merits alone.
Discuss, and don't take it too seriously.
While I admire your spunk, I don't like guys who feel the need to act like overgrown children in front of each other. NT or Aspie, if you act that way, you aren't impressing me.

It's an old bullying strategy and it's usually happen among teens and young adults in schools and even in colleges , the "cool" guys ridicule the "uncool" guys ( usually behind their backs) in front of girls and the girls giggle, It's not a very adult approach.
However, you need to be "c00l" in order to be one of these mocker guys , if you are quirky or geeky or ugly or not socially competent then you would be too "uncool" for this role.
How this is related to the thread?
And are you saying that 99% of your failures and ours is due to making excuses?
Only when it gets down to the excuse of getting them back.

Rynok's assertion that it is a numbers game is correct, in that the larger the sample size of women you meet, the better chance you'll have of meeting someone who is into you. Too many guys (especially socially phobic ones) obsess about "winning" one or two women out of maybe five they met for the year, when in reality maybe only 10 out of 100 women you'll meet will be into you realistically, and out of those, even less will be compatible. It's really just a matter of getting out there, getting a bigger sample size/exposures, and then working on the conversion ratio, just like Sales.
And to an Haliphron's point, it is women who make the choice about which guys they like, and not vice versa, because true enough, the demand is always higher on the male side for women than vice versa, at least until women hit around 30 and start getting desperate to get married and have kids, at which point the power balance shifts to the male side. That being said, the ugliest woman you know can still find someone to have sex with her for free in 5 minutes, while the ugliest man will never have that kind of success.
The key is just to meet a lot of women, figure out which ones show interest (by studying social cues and behavior), and work on those candidates. It's all about sample size, and the bigger the sample, the higher the number of women you will meet that will work out for you. Say your conversion rate is 1% (which would be pretty low) -- if you only meet 100 women in your life, that means you'll only have one GF. But if you meet 500 women a year, that's five women a year who are dating candidates. Adjust the % upwards (through improving your image, your assets, your social skills), things get even better. Just like a salesperson who hones his skills and generates tons of leads, you make your own luck and success.
Meeting 100 women a year would mean joining about 12 different charity organizations, theater groups, churches, every year... I just don't have the time to keep up with all that AND my college education (eventually career)...
On top of that, I don't feel attracted to a woman until I get to know her (which in and of itself takes about a month), so I figure on no matter how many women I meet, I could only truly make 12 determinations a year, even with an infinite supply of women. Because the month it takes me to even develop an attraction means that by the time I'm ready, she's either given up or moved on (best case scenario), I'll set my own conversion rate to (by your words) the "pretty low" 1%.
So, by your formula:
12 women per year * 0.01 = 0.12 girlfriends a year. By your formula, that means that, at my absolute peak efficiency (which I'm nowhere near), it would take me at least 8 years to find a girlfriend... Since the women I meet are usually not spread around the year, and I can only work on one at a time, I would probably get only about 1/4 the peak efficiency, which means that it would take me 24+ years to find a girlfriend. That would put me well into my 40s, well after the period in time that I could start a family...
^You're only 20...
The way this dating thing seems to work with you guys makes it sound like business as usual.
I'd hate to just date someone without knowing more about them. Then again, I'm patient to the point that I may be an eccentric old maid with a hundred cats..... ![]()

You assume I would be interested in you to begin with whereas anime is a big turn-off for me. I go for more feminine women who can still hold their own.
Given my chances I might as well be 40...
That's because it is business as usual...
1) ask woman out
2) get rejected
3) sulk about it for a few weeks/months/years (skip this step if you're a jerk)
4) repeat ad infinitum
The only way to break the cycle is to stop performing step #1.
I'd take eccentric with a hundred cats over a complete snob any day of the week... in fact, the former is usually an interesting character that I could at least relate to...
Neant, is this a tried and true approach for you? I'd personally find any guy partaking in this behaviour extremely undesirable. If I found out that's how he tried to get me, and we had somehow ended up together, I'd say it would even call into serious question whether or not I wanted to stay with him. I like a man with good manipulative skills, but how he uses his abilities makes all the difference.
I'd feel very much like a chosen object if I were somehow courted through these means. As a couple of you sound on this thread, women are mere property to be claimed and fought over. Sure, this is the way of many animals, particularly mammals, but I think humans can have a bit more self awareness than that. I know I'm not property, I'm not an object; I'm the same species as the other sex and my reproductive strategy is not to be gathered into a polygamous setting. If it were, then this would work better for me. And I'm not sure how desirable a woman who'd fall for this kind of thing would be, either, but I guess that's up to the individual guy.
Of course, I'm just a woman--what do I know? ![]()

I'm not a tomboy. I enjoy a lot of girly things too. Don't assume that I'm not feminine. And I don't think I would be interested in you if you feel the need to assume things.
No, this is an untried approach for me. What has been tried by me is just being friendly (as much as I know how to be at least), supportive, and trying to get to know the girl. Since this doesn't work and I'm getting impatient about the whole process, I just want whatever's most expedient.

Somehow it seems you got the assumption I might be interested in you. I don't do over-the-Internet relationships to begin with because for me, it's nothing if it lacks the physical, which obviously you aren't going to get online. Plus without even a photo, there's not a chance (guys are aroused more visually and tactilely than women).
