If people are not meeting through their own social networks elsewhere, than where/how are they meeting?

That... actually is true.

Yes. Of course.


...Definitely.

Very helpful.

Bad advice.

I'm not really all that beautiful and I've dated many beautiful women.

LOL this is a stupid thread.

If the people that are having trouble getting dates were able to just look in the mirror and solve their problems, they would have already done it.

They need guidance. Unfortunately, many on here seem reluctant to take any.

It does happen everywhere, but it seems to be more of an issue here (status, physical appearance, etc). It is what it is, but it's not my cup of tea.
Americans have very bad entitlement issues (both girls and guys).

Europe is a much better place, in terms of this.

Hombre, if memory serves me, you're European and we spoke about this before, I believe.

Yeah, I mean, we suggest someone shower more regularly than once a week and that seems like ludicrous advice...

The point of the OP went right over your head (unsurprisingly). It's not one quality. It's who you are as a person, which encompasses the gamut. eta: Make no mistake, the quality of women attracted to you do not exceed your own level of quality. You are delusional if you think otherwise.

Sure, this thread is so stupid and yet so difficult for many to grasp. And not taking guidance is also an aspect of the point. When you look at yourself, you don't just gaze into your own eyes you look at what you're doing with yourself; what is working and what is not working and why. You don't look at your neighbor or some woman down the road to figure out what she is and is not giving you and assume why. Christ.

Again, that is the point. Nobody is entitled to anything just because they want it, contrary to the many recent threads on this forum. How is this complicated to you people?

Or, it's your fault for not liking him ripe.

The article you're talking about notes this:

Quote:
Guys, however, are less concerned with their own looks when deciding whom to date, the findings suggest. So while a man might have no qualms about going after someone much better looking than he is, a woman will tend more to choose partners with compatible looks.
So, if I were a man, and beautiful women were choosing to be with me, then I'd be thinking I'm good-looking.
