... except you're attractive, so that doesn't apply to you.

I have often been told that I am attractive, but I didn't find success in dating until I was out of high school. I was just too shy and unskilled to ask girls out (with a few exceptions) until later when I was in the right place at the right time for a girl to ask me out. That built my confidence and have dated since then until I met my future wife. We were married more than 20 years. My point is that SadAspy shouldn't give up only because you haven't had success so far.

University classes are full of people and most of the people on "one gender"studies try to look for partners on other fields(Im studying to become an IT none of my classmates want to date the few females in my class even though they are quite good looking because they are trying to get over the whole I need to find a girl that shares all my interests and it wouldnt surprise me that the same thing happened at your university.)


I was a liberal arts major (stupid move, I know) so there were plenty of females. They just didn't want me...they wanted older men or they wanted tough guys not in school.

Also, don't assume I was only talking about academic classes. I signed up for leisure learning classes too...there were more women, but none who wanted anything to do with me.

I know a lot more women who disagree than agree. The ones that agree would be...uh...my mother and grandmother maybe?

I've been out of high school for 10 years. Actually. the only dates I went on were in high school.

I'm not shy...I have asked out women.

I had graduated college before I met my fututre wife. One is all it takes, if it is the right one: someone compatible.
