At the moment the hardest thing is trying to find room for all of her stuff when my bachelor pad is already full to capacity with just my stuff.

Women have a lot of shoes and clothes.

Maybe you could rent a storage unit for things you won't need for a long time

That's expensive. My girlfriend was paying somewhere between like $50 & $75 a month. Thankfully our place has a basement despite being small so she was able to store stuff in there & quit paying for the unit. She was letting her brother use it too thou & I think they both got rid of some stuff too.

Men don't seem to be interested in dating me.
Particularly men within my age range, and particularly men I find attractive. Despite having been in male dominates environments through most of my education and employment, I've been asked out very few times, and most of those guys were married men or strange men my father's age trying to get me in to their car.

Am I just less attractive than most women? Maybe. Is it my personality? Maybe. Is it because I'm not girly? Maybe. Am I missing social cues that they are interested? Maybe but it's on the other person to be a good communicator.

Anyway women reject men by saying no but men reject women by not asking to begin with.

Women also reject men by not asking men out.

A man not asking a woman out isn't necessarily rejection, there's also such a thing as being shy and playing it safe because you don't want to make her uncomfortable.

How many women have you rejected by not asking them out Nick?

Not really because like it or not we still live in a society where it's more socially appropriate for men to do the asking, and less socially appropriate for women to do the asking...in fact in some areas women will be negatively stigmstized for asking a man out, and many women sit and hope the man they like will ask them out.

True, we still do live in that world - especially the older you are. Not soooo much for young people these days, but the older people are the more this social rule applies.

It was so strong in my grandmother’s generation that she got married on December 26th because the next year was a leap year and apparently during a leap year it was okay for women to ask men to marry them and she didn't want anyone possibly thinking that she had done the asking if they were to wed during a leap year.

In a way though it still constitutes a form of rejection. She is not someone with whom he feels comfortable enough or is interested enough in to ask. Anyway that is not something to condemn a man for but the end result is no relstionship.

Women also reject men by not asking men out.

In the United States and Canada schools used to hold a dance called the "Sadie Hawkins Dance" where the girls would ask the boys. I think it may still exist in some areas.

No, they never just sit, they send non-verbal signals.

This though is so false and misleading.

If the girl is too hot for me (Even if I find her the most attractive girl in the world), like I am way out of her league, I wouldn't even try to ask her out because I know her answer will be a no and probably will laugh at me and make a fool of myself.

I never ask out women I like who are taller than me for instance, even if I find them attractive ; for those I would say yes if they ask me out but I would never do the initiation (because I know that 99% of women prefer men taller than them).

That's not rejection, that's logic.

Yes, this.

Like the foolishly sounding over-giggling and over-touching they do when they're talking to that hot six-packed gym trainer.

Can most men here detect them?
