Yes you can. Some say it's good luck (not the guys who caught that disease and died though)

I think we should rename this thread into Moogs's beard and how to groom it in 10 easy steps.

I don't know who has it easier and I don't care. Everyone is out for their own, you make your own life, and we all have to play the best we can with the cards we are dealt.

blaming others and accusing others of having it easier isn't going to find you sex of a GF. Figure out what does. I can tell you.

Be interesting
Learn social skills
Try to cope in social situations
Be a whole person, not half of of a potential pair.

What would your definition of "interesting" be?

Interesting people do a lot of things, and have a lot of interests.

Well, usually.
Interesting people like to travel, go to things, do things, engage in interest groups, and in general, simply experience a lot of things in life. etc

Just my opinion remember. I'll elaborate more.

Interesting people engage in many subjects and do things. These are what gives them something to talk about to people and seem interesting.

Me for example. Compared to boring people, I am interesting, and compared to interesting people, I'm probably boring.
I have many interests and hobbies to engage in, but I have not travelled much or experienced much in life.

Back on topic (I think)

I think that interestingness is mainly about being interested. Being open to ideas. Connecting what others say or do with something of your own.

There's a lot of whining even outside the AS community about women having it easier. It never ever seems to occur to these individuals that for every man who's alone, there is a woman who is alone...statistically, more women.

True, but for different reasons. Women are generally rejected because of appearance (not saying it's fair, just that it's true). About 1/3 of American women (and almost as many in the UK) are obese. Maybe half of the remaining 2/3 don't make as much effort with their appearance as they could. So approx 2/3 of women only have themselves to blame for their loneliness. Even if it's not as high as this much the general point is valid.

However, whilst men are partly rejected because of appearance it's also because of lack of wealth/independence/car/social status, etc., plus shyness/introversion/lack of assertiveness/AS, and so on. Whilst some of these things can be addressed it's not always that easy (particularly in this economy). In short, the biggest reasons for the lack of compatibility in today's society (e.g. falling marriage rates) is women not putting enough effort into their appearance, and having unrealistic expectations of men (of course I appreciate that some men are undateable).

You could argue that men should invest less value in women's appearance, but I think this is too biologically hard wired to change.

Oh gawd, where to start with this piece of work....

(1)Obesity is more than "just not taking care of yourself". Other aspects of one's appearance are often beyond one's control as well. Not all women are genetically gifted with beauty. Some women are not youthful any more. Women rejected "because of their appearance" do NOT "have themselves to blame" most of the time. THAT is a sexist statement in itself.

(2)It could easily be said that men who do not have enough wealth or status are the ones not "trying hard enough", if we're looking to place blame (which I am not, but you seem to be). Expecting women to put effort into something shallow and often not highly changeable like one's appearance while not expecting men to put effort into a career or livelihood (which *is* changeable) is just plain messed up. In fact, I'm starting to detect "eau de troll".
