But, then, what reason will you have to look for her?

No it's not. It's the same in Europe. I don't see why would it be different. My colleague is NT, really buff, well educated, has an ok job, owns a car, but has trouble getting into a relationship. I've got many similar examples.

I imagine it's a bit worse everywhere these days, but the lion's share of it is probably in the U.S. since we've got a rep for having tons of arrogant/stuck-up people here(along with using up a lot of the world's resources), but only having a small percentage of the world's population.

That website I quoted in the other post has a legit-lookin section with a large number of success stories from men who supposedly became "players" shortly after leaving U.S. borders, whereas they were celibate for many years before that.

I personally have no interest in leaving this country though, especially since weed is gonna be legal here in just 2 weeks. :D

^ Women are hypergamous (including those who are in denial *wink to some wp women*) - so they would be interested in someone from a stronger/wealthier country.

American man in the eyes of a foreigner woman, especially if she's from a much poorer country = security, wealth and good status (and good for boasting in front of friends and family).

In Russia it's even worse probably. At least in US or Italy I wasn't rejected immediately after starting a conversation every time :-)

You have to carry on, despite your flaws.

Rid your mind of this concept that women demand perfection. Like GiantHockeyFan says, stop going to those online dating sites.

Like GiantHockeyFan said as well......they warp your image of what the "real world" is.


If you had 100s of flaws then you would be a virgin like me.

I think you have some flaws, but not 100s, and therefore you can come away more eazy.

I tell you the truth, no girl in the world wants me.


May I ask, what are your flaws?

Perhaps there are some which could be addressed in some fashion?

My inquiry is sincere.

Yeah but do the majority of those Russian women secretly assume that "almost every guy is a creep, until he proves otherwise"? I doubt they do, and that common-mindset here is one of the main reasons why the U.S. probably has it the worst when it comes to this.

Not exactly. They assume - most of them, not all of course - that "almost every guy is a creep, until he proves he has large amount of money". That is a fact unfortunately - amount of gold diggers among girls here is terribly high. And I say it while having here an income significantly higher than average.

Money is the only point for most of marriages here, and when they ends - relations and marriages are ending as well. For me it's worse than barbarism.

If a woman is effectively exchanging access to her vagina for money, a place to live, food, and presents....is she a prostitute?

Most women care very little about a man's looks. Even a guy with two heads could be popular with women, if they had a good personality, were engaging, listened attentively, seemed witty and sharp, and were entertaining. I am a man, and I will say that women are far less superficial than men in my experience.

Something weird would have to be going on for that town to keep such a ratio over time.

You would have no reason to look for them, or at the very least you would have no reason to be desperate for not being able to find one.

IDK about the movies, but in the TV series, the mission was always a success!

Then you should just happily stay single for life, since there's no reason to make any effort to change that situation. Obviously, most people don't abide by that rule, or our species would be long extinct.

There is a big different between being desperate/depressed for being single, and live with it in a peaceful manner. This wouldn't even exclude falling in love with someone and trying to be with her in the future, which of course is much better than trying with everyone until you get one who likes you (if she exists). One should learn to be ok while being single too and not put his happiness on it.
Girls can smell if you are desperate/depressed for being alone, so it won't help you anyway.
Moreover, being in a relationship doesn't mean anything and it's not the heaven some people imagine, things can go bad and even if it goes well she can just change her mind one day and dump you, because people do it all the time. With this I don't mean that relationships must be avoided for fear of such things, I just want to point out that it's not like being in heaven (for some couples it's the case, but they are not many).

P.S.: You know, they use that species extinction argument against gay people too, lol. Most people are not like me or the OP, so my words refer to a little group of people, not all humanity.
