It was duly noted. I have a general idea of what's held me back when I was attempting to date in years past, and I've put dating on hold for the time being, at least until I improve myself into a more (figuratively) attractive potential partner. It's a process.
@jmyrlefuller I am not a shrink,and don't even play one on teebee,but it SEEMS to me that your biggest problem is your own poor opinion of yourself. MOST women like a man that is self-confident. I know nothing about you,but I suspect you are a better potential "catch" for women than you think yourself to be. Unless of course there is some sort of super-dominant caveman hiding behind a Clark Kent personality.
Speaking of which,did Clark Kent even ever get a date,never mind get laid?
Just keep this in mind,you can say pretty much anything you want to say to a typical woman as long as it isn't mean,and you say it with a sense of humor and a smile.
A sense of humor should also be the prime thing you look for in a woman,too. Regardless of if you are a man or a woman,and how nice you try to be,EVERYBODY has a bad day or three occasionally,and your partner and you BOTH need to be mentally prepared to deal with the bad weather until it goes away. People who are generally upbeat and who look for things to laugh about are the best bet because they are the least likely to take a bad weekend and turn it into a lifestyle.
And don't worry so much about "catching a keeper" this week. Go with the flow and approach different women while having the understanding that it is perfectly normal for either you to not be a good "fit" for her,or for her not to be a good "fit" for you. That's why it's called dating. Have fun with it while it is happening and don't take it as a personal defeat when some woman tells you that you aren't what she is looking for in life. Big flipping deal. You are not trying to seal a multi-million dollar sales contract of trying to score the winning touchdown at a Super Bowl,you are just dating. It's something even high school kids can do.
