But it is a flaw - my ex-wife used to try and talk me out of wearing (quite long) shorts - I refused, I did that for many years and I'm not going back. People stare at them, it's awful. I sometimes wonder if it is the unspoken "fatal flaw" that has ruined my romantic life...

Grisha from the photos I've seen of you, including your fb ones, you look completely fine to me. I don't see any flaws in any of your pictures, apart from slightly dubious highlights in one of them.

I agree with all of this except for the highlights.

Maybe it's a Californian thing... So I expect you to sport a similar hairdo in your next photo Tea. :wink:

Oh god no! I don't do highlights! Too much work to maintain. As you know, I'm quite lazy. :oops:

I will be getting my hair cut fairly soon, though. Possibly while on my trip. I'm sure lots of people will hate it.

You haven't seen my legs! :oops:

and your "dubious highlights" comment has me concerned due to the fact that I have a hair appointment tomorrow - should I forget the highlights? I kind of like them...

Here's a photo of a minor local celebrity who is about my age, I like this look...

Am I totally wrong? Please save me from myself! :wink:

Ah. Um. Well, I know nothing about hair Grish. I don't do hair. It just comes out of my head, and I let it do what it fancies.

But personally, I think you look pretty foxy with darker hair. I'm not sure the blondeness is really your thing.

But y'know, I'm in a rural backwater in olde England, and you live a fast paced life in sunny California, so I'm probably not the best judge.

Flaws are not normally noticed by others. I have quite a few friends with skinny legs, they are usually the ones who do well with girls. Dont worry Grisha PS the highlights in the above photo are designed to soften his greying sides, which you dont have.....

Yes I do

If Henbane likes darker hair though, I really need to reconsider - she's definitely my target demographic... :wink:

Other reasons for me:

Most people who have the same interests as me tend to be in the hippie and hipster cliques, and refuse to associate with anyone outside those cliques. They consider all Christians, regardless of what their views are, to be racist, sexist, and homophobic. (for the records, I have no problems with hippies or hipsters).

Most Christians think my interests are evil and "un-Christian", and telling a Christian woman "I have so and so interests" is like telling them "I worship Satan".

I can't believe this thread has hit 30 pages. This pessimism will never help you guys meet anyone.

Exactly, just look at me, observe me, and try to be like me, it's the key to success. :lmao:

Aside from already being married, I'm a bad catch because of all the pills I have to take for my heart, my arthritis, and my allergies. This is in addition to the facts that I can no longer walk upright without a pronounced limp, and that I'm mostly bald.

Yeah ... the prime of my youth has long since passed ... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Why do you say guys? Plenty of the female members posted in this thread.

If i had to guess he was just referring to people in general, and said "guys" in stead of "humans who have posted on this thread"

As the opening post suggests, there's a way to critically look at oneself in a healthy way. Acknowledging flaws without dwelling on them, accepting them without using them as an excuse is that healthy way I believe. Also, seeing these flaws and working to improve them (if you so choose) is useful.

I have always done my very best to improve myself when I found a fault since I was a child. I think I already have a good understanding (but I can't know for sure because no one tells me) of why NT don't find me attractive, but I am unwilling to change myself in that respect because I should not have to.

one reason why i am not a "bad catch" is because the person who originally identified me as a "bad catch" suffered from a propensity to become verbally confused, and what the person really meant to say was i was an example of a "cad batch". so i am not a "bad catch" after all. "yay"
i say "yay" when i am so tired i could not give a damn, and i just say "yay" to amuse myself because i see it as an absurd coment. YAY!!.

I'm a Cad without the Batch
