I think you're giving the average person too much credit.  Things are never this complex to them.  Everything is streamlined and simple because alot of thought is never put into it.   Almost all these traits are doublespeak.   Men Physically fit = 6 pack abs, not someone who can run a mile in...

Physically fit = 6 pack abs. I wouldnt expect complex reasoning from small minds.

10 Of The Worst Ways To Describe Yourself In A Dating Profile From Here Give me a good reason why this shouldnt make me despise people in general.

According to Abraham Laslow's hierarchy of human needs, intimacy/love is more important to a person then confidence, reaching your potential, etc

Yeah I understand you should improve yourself regardless of wanting to be in a relationship.  Im just saying improving yourself in general isnt a magic bullet that will get you with someone.  Lets say getting into a relationship is like dunking a basketball.  If your 5' tall it doesnt matter how...

Ive already gone through something of a mini-improvement, and its done nothing.  My brother could care less about improving anything, yet hes never single because of one thing,  he looks good.  I remember when he was wearing a ratty t-shirt and oversized sweat pants, while I was dressed very...

See,  this is what is frustrating and unfair.  The whole idea that lonely single people have to 'fix themselves' and then just maybe they'll have a chance at a relationship.  I know alot of people with 'broken' personalities who have a line of people waiting for them.  The unfair part is they...

Man there are some brutal stories here. Christ.

Unless she had some sort of serious emergency, theres no excuse for this behavior. Cut her off immediately. People who do stuff like this have serious character issues. You do not want to have any part of them. I dont mean ghost but I do mean distance yourself and never look back. Believe...

But I feel the definition of this changes depending on the outlook of the person. For example:  I had a sister call me and immediately start chewing me out, blaming me for something I didnt do.  I didnt raise my voice in return, instead, in an even voice I calmed her down and got her to realize...

Im not sure why 'being nice in the hope of getting something in return' is considered a 'nice guy' trait by so many. Besides, the thought itself is contradictory.  If someone likes a girl,  and wants her attention/affection,  are they suppose to be indifferent,  or even rude to her,  instead of...

This really just boils down to 'nice guys' being picked on because apparently they arent as attractive to women as other men,  notably the 'bad boys'.  'Bad boys' (really any human) are just as flawed but get a pass because they apparently can 'get the girl' and have her addicted to them.  Give...

I think Drew has good advice for a situation like this.  Quoting him from another thread on here

I think there might be something wrong with my facial expressions and I dont even know it. So I'll be more conscience of that. Its weird because my sister said I have a 'sad, but inviting' look on my face all the time

OK, I've had some recent experience of women appearing to 'hate' me when Im around them. Complete strangers. Usually checkout clerks at a gas station or store. Basically they'll be smiling and friendly to the customer ahead of me, and when its my turn they refuse to make eye contact and...

I think when we get down we tend to focus on the things that are missing in our life, so the lack of a partner hurts even more. Yeah, I can identify.  Im the same age and it really eats at me that I've gone this far into life with essentially zero relationship experience.  You start to wonder...

Oh Im not insisting she wants a man to take care of her financially.  Im suggesting shes looking for a man with similar social and economic status because when her friends (who likely have similar social/economic status) say oh what does your boyfriend do etc she wants to be able to brag. Im...

It might be hard, but I would just become neutral to her. I wouldnt go out of my way to impress her or distance myself from her. Just see her has another person, which is alot easier said then done. It looks very likely shes looking for a guy with social status and wealth. If the thing...

I dont have confidence because I am a realist.  Believe me I know.  Take my sisters for example.  They are full of confidence.  But you know how their brain is wired?  Lets say they dont get a job after an interview.  They honestly 100% believe it's because the person giving the interview was...

As a realist,  I've come to understand I will never be in a relationship.  However knowing this hasn't prevented me from thinking about what I am missing out on from time to time.   The core of issue is I was stupid enough to believe someone might have liked me a couple of years ago.  It was...
