Any other guys "dropping out" of dating completely

Post Reply New Topic

I've dated plenty of women.

The problem is that I'm crazy and hurt them. The evil tendencies actually get worse the more I practice, and they are hard to control.

But just being friends with more women sounds like a good idea.

How do you hurt them?

I likely have Narcissistic Personality Disorder (am going to try to get it confirmed on Wednesday) with some borderline traits, so I use women I'm dating as a narcissistic supply to raise my low self-esteem. I also lack the capacity to have relationships that are not fundamentally exploitative (usually, as a so-called aspie, that means raising my social value and giving me more access to opportunities to improve my social skills).

I think a lot of people, including me in the past, blamed dating troubles on Asperger's. But this is just a convenient crutch. Sometimes, it seems to be due to errors in thinking over which one has much more control.

Don't change who you are because you will attract people that you aren't compatible with. BE YOURSELF, FIRST AND ALWAYS!

Until I know I'm 100% over the ex (and most of this whole custody battle is over) I think I'll just remain a dateless monk.

...with a little attitude.

I seriously think you should go out but decide beforehand that you are not looking for a relationship, only casual dating. That way a lot of the pressure is off and your only goal is to go out and have a good time. Play the field, have fun, sew some wild oats (and hay and barley and hops, etc). I think you have a better chance of getting over her sooner if you start dating. You won't be looking to replace her or to find somebody to help you get over her, just somebody to go out and have a good time with.

I was thinking of maybe relocating abroad were the women seem less hung up on height, hunky bodies and masculine faces, because that's all you need it seems for English women to love you these days. I would absolutely consider a mail-order bride if nothing has changed afterwords.

Any advice ladies and gentlemen?

this is me btw if you want to evaluate my looks: http://oi45.tinypic.com/332v4lt.jpg

I'm in my mid 30's, I'm going back to college in september (ha) and I have a previous college education. I'm not a virgin nor am I shy around women but the past 12 years has been very tough for me. I have been involuntary celibate the whole time. I'm not tall, hunky, masculine-looking or handsome so I have that 4-pronged stigma going against me.

I'm just having an awful time meeting single women. I tried online dating, I got 3 responses in 2 years out of hundreds of e-mails sent. This is to average girls, not stunners I've been browsing askwomen and I've gotten really depressed from what I read. They said a man isn't supposed to approach a woman anymore ever and it's basically harassment. Not work, not a bar, not the gym, not in a coffee shop, not on public transportation, not in public, not in school. I feel so ashamed of trying now. I didn't know this was how women felt. They said the only acceptable place is hobby clubs. The two hobby clubs I've been in the past few years was an indoor soccer class which was 100% men and an cycling club which had exactly 3 women, all of whom were taken. So I don't really have an outlet for meeting women. Yes I will start college soon but I know most women will be 16-22 years of age and I'll be 'too old' for them or the 'creepy old guy'. I have tried talking to waitresses serving coffee in the local coffee shops but I get the same old not interested or they are already taken.

I read, I go to the gym, I'm up-to-date on films, I go cycling, I go exploring and love flea markets. I've bettered myself as much as I can I believe including a whole new wardrobe (still working at lowering my bodyfat to sub 18%), but I feel maybe I'm just not good enough looking for the women out there. I almost feel like I need to be an exceptional superman to find an average woman. I don't mind rejection, I've been rejected in the past in college by nerdy girls, religious girls, black girls, flat girls, homely girls, asian girls, blondes etc. My standards aren't crazy high. I just never approach fat chicks as I have no ability for sexual arousal with fat women. Please don't say 'lower your standards and give the fat girls a chance' because its just not possible for me.

I don't mind being alone so much, I've adopted to the hermit life, but part of me wants children pretty badly someday, but I don't know if it's even worth the effort anymore. I feel there's something missing and it is raising a family and having a significant other. I get very lonely.

*insert some comment about how women don't like negative men and you need to be more positive even though lack of success with women made you negative, which happened because you're negative, so you just need to be more positive and then women will like you.*

I believe that's the correct response.

I dunno, I've not so much dropped out as not ever really tried.
