why do women go out with gay guys?

They aren't any sort of threat.

So girls see me as sort of gay then, they ask me to escort them in dark alleys/time/areas all the time.

I've always suspected that seeing me that safe imply they don't see me masculine enough.

Maybe. Or maybe your Aspie traits make you seem like a harmless geek to them who they wouldn't consider dating material.

Low self-esteem can sabotage chances in subtle ways, but why do you have low self-esteem?

It can also be that you seem TOO good, don't want to fill your head but myself personally I'm very disinterested with very attractive women. In my experience they aren't really all that cool of people to be around. And I'm a lot more reserved with them than I am average women. It's just a thought.

When someone ditches you in favour of someone who seems boring and average, it makes you feel really below average tbh. I'm probably targeting the wrong guys.

The thing is, the sort of guys who are not sheepish of me are either completely dumb or the sort of guys who have girls all over them.

I'm not even that great. I cannot compete with people with model looks.

Porcelain doll face

I like the first picture on your profile. I wonder if you seem too... childish to them? I've been told I am. Then others tell me I am too old and "too responsible" it's weird.

@HB - it might be the "too good to be true" syndrome. I know when I was doing online dating, I wouldn't respond to the ones who looked like GQ magazine photos. Trolls are definitely out there - some of the messages I received were clearly from trolls. I responded saying so, and they took the profiles down almost immediately (or the site did). Between your beauty, your accomplishments, and your geekdom, they may all be so blown away (i.e., "she's too good to be true") that they think you're a scammer.

^Tbh, her profile is well written, despite of what the critics said here. Scams don't have such personal profiles.

Ferrus91: Yeah, my guess is she won't go out with you.

That's right Ferrus. I have explained that she lives 9000 miles away from me, is 12 years younger than I am, and we have different interests (we only have a love of cats in common). So she wouldn't go out with me. I'm not hurt by that; just merely curious why a beautiful intelligent woman like her is single when she posted an okcupid profile, and is interested in dating. Perhaps you have a better chance with her. I hope for the best.

This is where you post your ok cupid profile, and me and anyone else who wants to can tell you what's wrong with it and what may be putting people off.

To make this fair game, I'll start with posting mine.

Let's get this ball rolling.

I like yours very in-depth. Mine I feel sucks.

Actually, the last 3 people who rejected me were very average in the looks and personality department. Some even under average.

Im surprise you have such a tough time with men,your very attractive,and
men usually over look women ''flaws''if their attractive.
so,I have no idea,why men won't date you.

The most important part of your profile is your PHOTOS. You need to get better pics. You're good looking but the bathroom selfies with a toilet paper roll are not gonna do any good.
Get photos of you outside in natural light. Preferably of you doing something and not looking at the camera. Get your whole body in.

And read this. http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/dont- ... -accident/

Because no one is flawless.... And let's face it guys, most humans get a significant other before age 25, anyone who is still failing to get a SO after that age only means that there's a fundemental flaw or group of flaws in him/her. That goes for hale, for you, for Yuzu, for bill, for hurtloam, for me and for 90% of guys here.

I'm fricking confused. You (KingofKaboom) and "warsend" are the same person??
I've looked at your profile (Diomedesruin) and you look so much older than 26. (I'd say you look at least 10 years older than 26) You only need one or two photos of your face. Girls want to see your whole body.
