Well, getting laid isn't necessarily my first goal but it would be nice

I've always wanted to have a nice car anyway, but I won't be driving till July. But I'm going to community college first anyway and that's hopeless in itself as far as girls go I would think since I've heard that it's essentially 13th grade. It'll give me time to get a nice car is the main point though I guess.

Attractive college girls have their pick from thousands of guys on campus, as well as guys at the bar, and elsewhere. It is tough for a quiet AS guy like myself, or WAS tough. I think it's easier to get a girlfriend when you are working and have a job and your own place. That way you can meet girls who aren't in college and want a boyfriend, I have found that they are generally more appreciative when a decent guy shows interest in them.

I had a handful of attractive girls interested in me, a couple even stunning. The problem is - AS seems transcend all things, even when your social skills aren't particularly smashed up by it :lol: , that's where incompatibility issues make up for whatever progress you've made.

Well I hope to have a job by 2011, and my own place (probably an apartment or small condo) by 2012. Ideally I should be ready to go. Except for the slight problem that THERE ARE NO WOMEN AGES 18-25 ON THE ENTIRE ****ING PLANET :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

*sigh*... sorry about that, I just really needed to get that off my chest... :cry:

And many colleges tend to have a liberal bent, some more left-wing than others. And oftentimes, you have to agree with them on everything. You have to support abortion, support same-sex marriage, drive a Prius, be vegan, and be atheist to fit in.

There are conservative colleges, but they mainly tend to include schools like Bob Jones University (sorry, no BJs at BJU), Liberty University, and Baylor University.

It doesn't matter what their political alignment is... colleges don't have women either. When they graduate from high school, they graduate from existence...

I think it depends on the situation. In college, there is more pressure to date. You get a stronger desire to find that special someone. There are more clubs in high school, so it is easier to meet people. People are also more mature, so that makes it easier. People in college are also smarter.
However, people in college are busier, so that makes it hard.
To make it easier, learn how to date and find someone to guide you along. That is what will make it easier.

Explain 'someone to guide you along' if you don't mind

I'd figure having the right guy friends could be part of that, dating is a networking game as well and when you have social proof through someone that a girl knows and respects - it shifts the paradigm a good ways as well as having the chance to talk to her and have her get to know you first as opposed to having to pull something out of thin air.

College was worse for me than high school on that side of things. I came in naively thinking "well I came close to a breakthrough a couple of times in high school, so I look forward to new experiences in college" and nope, nothing happened and I couldn't tell you if any fellow student had any interest in dating me. All I can say is don't have high expectations going in and have a wide network of friends - join a few societies and clubs and get involved, you'll meet plenty of people that way even with only tentative connections to these clubs. I expanded my social circles a little bit in my last year and a half of college and I felt like I really should have done this earlier.

Simple question, more complicated answer:

College has a lot more people, less rigid social structure, and a much better chance to meet someone who is compatible. So from that POV, it is easier to date.

HOWEVER,.....

If you don't dress well, and aren't showing that you are going places with a plan for the future, you are going to continuously lose the dating game. Get shined up, get some good female advice on clothing, and work on your image.

Now I continue -- the one problem with girls in college is that they are still under 25. This means that, in the laws of supply and demand, odds are very much in their favor, as they have a whole world of men to choose from (both older and younger), and have the market on heterosexual "initmate encounters" cornered. Men their age have very little to offer, except a promising future, a winning personality, and the ability to make them feel loved.

After college is where I think you will see your best results, so please don't give up hope or marry early. By the time women get near 30, their "purchasing power" and looks begin to fade fast, as does their fertility. The tables turn for any woman who wants to be married with kids, and their entirely unrealistic and unfair expectations fall just as quickly. If you are a guy with an eye on the future, his career, and mental well-being, you should be able to clean up pretty well. I can elaborate more, if you like -- respond here or send me a PM, and I'll get back to you (busy days at work these days, so I'm not on here as much as I used to be).

I bolded the parts that I think some men here may just gloss over but they are terribly important. Yes, a woman nearing 30 will toss out entirely unrealistic and unfair expectations as her biological clock ticks. The catch is, she then narrows down to one expectation but that expectation is mandatory and non-negotiable, unlike her college years. If she becomes considerably less picky about looks or hobbies she will never share and considers weird because she wants to be a mom ASAP, she will toss on the trash heap any man who is unsure about becoming a father- or doesn't want to be one. Your chances skyrocket with a 29year old woman (or a 31 year old woman!) if and only if you are ready to join her in parenthood. If not, she has no time to dilly-dally while you fret about whether it's right for you because her time is literally running out. So yes, your chances go up but only if you share her goals of marriage and family.

This of course will be your time to shine, ToadofSteel, which is why I confidently made the prediction elswhere that you will be a husband and father in your 30's even if that seems absurd right this minute.

More elaboration/tips on anything is always helpful

Wouldn't want to go to your college, Tim - I've never experienced anything like that at any of the schools I have attended. And I am a progressive, pro choice, pro gay marriage, driving an SUV, meat-eating agnostic... gads, I hate even that idea of that string of labels. Have you ever tried to look at the world without forcing a label and definition on everything based on your previous experience? A clean slate, so to speak?

OP: Regarding your question, do not rely upon your environment to meet girls. Literally everywhere from the gas station to the super market to the library to the mall is a good place to meet cute girls.
