    Repo: I was serious. It's time to see a therapist. Some of the most horrible men on earth get women and there's no way you're as "unattractive" as they are.

    I promise: there's nothing wrong with you. Your problem is in the way you present yourself. Or perhaps in the way you don't present yourself.

    I agree! Repo posted a picture, looks rather cute! I don't get it.
    I think it is mostly in his mind. He is in a slump that he just can't seem
    to break out of. Probably his self esteem has been beaten down, and he is
    having a hard time building it up again.

    Repo don't give up! Try and be positive.

    Maybe he just has standards, whereas the horrible men don't, among other differences that justify it (e.g., not lying).

    Look dude, I went to Caltech. I hung out with some of the geekiest, most socially awkward guys on the planet. They also had high standards. Not necessarily for looks or "coolness," but for general awareness, ability to think and just plain decency. They all ended up with perfectly nice women who were looking for the same thing.

    My wife married me decades ago, when I was an early-generation computer geek, not the suave, sophisticated Fraggle you see today. Moreover I was a complete spazz in most physical activities, and no one ever accused me of good looks. She's one of the brightest, most capable people I've ever met. And she's so "hot" that a guy once drove his car into a post because he had his head turned 180 degrees to watch her get out of our car.

    I guess it can also depend where you live. Where I live alot of women are very Snobby.
    They want it all, even if they don't have much to offer themselves.

    There are a lot of snobby women--and men--everywhere. I currently live in the Washington DC region so I think I speak with some authority on this subject.

    Nonetheless there are lots of women--and men--everywhere who are not snobby. Don't be distracted by the snobby ones. If you find yourself in places that are dominated by snobs, start going to other places.

    The best way to find someone who likes the things you like is to go to the places where the things you like are done/presented/discussed/whatever. Many people unthinkingly go to bars to meet people. You are guaranteed to meet two types of people there: 1. People who simply like to go to bars, and 2. People who aren't imaginative enough to think of somewhere else to go to meet people who like the things they like.

    The exception would be if you are a music fan and you go to bars with live music. You'll find other music fans there.

    Bars are not the place to meet a potential partner in my opinion. The few times I went when I was older and single were a nightmare!! It is like one big meat market.

    I would suggest you stay clear of the bars. I beleive there is someone for everyone out there though. Me and my b/f went to a concert the other night. Sitting not far from me was a woman had to be close to 400 lbs. She had a b/f or husband (?) that was sitting there with his arm around her. I am sure it must be hard to walk around with ppl snickering and staring, but she found someone who obviously must love her.

    I think sometimes, ppl do have their standards set too high. If you have in your mind that you only will date some HOT chick, you are passing over many available nice women who may not be so hot but actually much nicer to be around. Same goes for women...........

    I think it is a shame for Repo to give up. He has way too much life to still live.

    Hey shorty, people set there standeds at the level that is avialable

    There was a recent study on speed dating

    The first night they did a random sample of peoples likes and dislikes and counted how many dates that were proposed

    The second they delibratly chose people that were what the other people DIDNT like (so tall women, short men ect) and they counted the dates proposed then two

    They were the same

    the conclusion, we set our standeds based on whats avialable at the time

    I don't think so. My b/f used to come home from work all the time and tell me about the women standing around the cubicles talking.

    He said they weren't anything special but would talk about how they wanted these GORGEOUS, Rich men who were this that and the other thing...... It is no wonder why there are so many single women in their 30's.

    Shorty, i LOVE red heads. Now (assuming PB and i wernt together) do you think i would turn down a girl just because she didnt have red hair if i hadnt had a partner for a few years?

    I HIGHLY doubt it

    Just because that is someones goal doesnt mean they wont setle for less

    But you shouldn't make such high standards in the first place, that you feel like the person you ended up with is "settling for less" then what you really would have wanted.

    If its a concious decision your right but what we are talking about is buried deep in the subconcious.

    Let me ask you a question

    How does a women chose her mate?
    In nature its the mate that is going to give her offspring the best chance to survive. Early Homo's (ok it should really be Pan but thats off topic) would have chosen the strongest hunter because they could both protect her young and give her strong young but we dont hunt

    So is it body (mussles like a hunter) or is it power (money)

    Now if we take power, then bill gates should have every women and the rest of us none but that doesnt happen. why? because if every women belonged to bill gates then as one of 100 000 say she would have a very low chance of being in pregnated so wouldnt be able to pass her gen's on so we go to the next and the next until we find someone we can atract above the compition who is still going to give our offspring the best chance we can

    Well, his looks are above average, I'd say. He's a bit old, but that should still be okay. Now, there's a big number of possibilities on what the problem could be: bad health habits, bad financial situation, lack of confidence, lack of decency....

    Well, thanks for the concern. No doubt, lack of trying ensures failure. Or, as Homer Simpson reassured the children when they weren't chosen as Montgomery Burns heir, "Well kids, you tried your best, and you failed miserably. So the lesson is, never try."

    The last social thing I tried was joining a gym. I got my bench press up to 200 pretty quickly, but I'm almost pathologically shy anymore, so nothing else came of it. It really seemed as though the women there were either married or too young. A woman at work was talking about setting me up with a friend, but she decided against it because her friend is only twenty five. Though people usually guess my age at twenty eight to thirty two, I am 42, and I've always been mentally old for my chronological age.

    So, yeah, I guess I need to do something. As David Baerwald wrote in the song Swallowed By The Cracks, "You're only out when you stay out, you stay out when you don't believe."

    See, that's precisely why I don't put myself out there. I can't bear to be rejected by 3.2 billion females—who could? Come on, take a look at every woman and then take a look at me. I have nothing to offer everyone of the opposite sex, except for the pleasure of not having to enjoy my company.

    The only thing I have in common with women is we both know they could do better.

    (You see, the reason that's funny is because I can relate, and it makes me feel less alone)

    Repo:

    Have you ever tried going to single dances ( for 30+ ) I know they adverstise them in the papers sometimes. I went to a couple when i was newly single again. It isn't like the bar scene at all. It was more like a social thing where everyone was single (at least hope they were lol ) But it wasn't full of teenagers, everyone was over 30.

    I noticed alot of women there were asking the men to dance.
