10 to 1, the guys posting in support of the thread title have also complained about women dating jerks. Right?

How to reconcile the two?

Women have standards that are simultaneously too high and too low?

Maybe the complainers have a weak grasp of human nature, including their own?

Saying they probably won’t get a girlfriend is not saying “You don’t deserve anyone to ever love you”.

There are people I think that about, but they’re people like child abusers and elderly abusers.

I’ve had few people here tell me I’m not good enough to date women that I need a better job and to lose wieght,

I’ve be told it by countless women on dating sites. I didn’t make it up or come up with it myself. I just stopped fighting it after being told it so many times.


Not everybody can get a better job and not everybody can lose weight.

True that. I can’t get a better job it’s amazing I have this one.
Ive lost 30 pounds though but it’s a struggle.
Eating less and working out are hard to do.
