You need to be there for her too. If she is just there to cure your loneliness, it won't work.

You meet women by going out and talking to people. Even if there is no relationship, friendship can be a sufficient cure.

here im thinking you relate to the real lonely guys here, and you atleast have physical validation...not downplaying your loneliness but try being lonely nd not getting girls..it's hard.

you can get girls im sure, just need to look, but that is the hard part, trying to act socially "normal" in society, people assume you have something to hide if you don't look at their eyes, I hate that most.

So you don't lack confidence. Any idea what holds you back?

Hey man , I know exactly what holds me back, I do lack confidence by the way but the fact that I'm a bodybuilder and am 6"2 I guess attracts certain girls to me but once they've realised im socialy not normal they always disassociate themselves with me because I guess they don't like that. I guess I look the part of a "normal" person but not mentally. Plus when I did have a girlfriend who by the way was 2 years older than me and a school teacher. I payed her too much attention and I think that's why we broke up, I don't even know why we broke up but that's my guess, I don't blame her though she may have felt like I was a burden more than a boyfriend, She tried I was with her for 3 odd months... I should shut up now I reckon we will all find someone.

Ah, get how you mean. I think there is a certain amount of social status thing with women, I've had a woman dissapear mysteriously after they found out I had only a tight knight circle of friends on facebook (10-15). So maybe that was it, or I said something they found odd, who knows. Yeah I think sometimes women see a lot of attention as being smothering or "too nice", or whatever but that's a workable issue in some ways, there's mens dating advise websites (like "askmen") that talk about that, and loads of books how to change that etc. I found some of the info out there partly useful but didn't go into the books yet. I made some useful changes but everything just takes a lot of time and application.

Wow... racist and sexist all at once.
:roll:

Maybe that's why women don't want to be with you (or girls, whichever you're after) ?

To the OP...
I understand what you mean.

Especially when young, a lot of women can be really strange (and similarly, a lot of guys can be too) about assuming things about people based on how they look, or expecting others to be "normal" (when even experts in psychology and sociology can't manage to define "normality" because it's such an intangible thing).

I think finding a relationship partner would be much easier for many socially awkward / quirky people of both genders, if this wasn't such a peculiar planet to be on in the first place.
