Most women with unrealistic standards aren't morbidly obese. They just don't have the looks or personality to justify the type of man they look for. And, most importantly, they look for those men to the exclusion of all others. They don't even allow for the possibility of getting with men who don't meet their predetermined metrics.

---

this probably applies to the men on this thread too--in that some of yall's standards are too high and dont match who you're aiming for

---

The data on male/female perception vs reality with respect to dating, attractiveness, etc. is extensive and clear. Men on average are far, far more realistic with respect to their dating and marriage prospects than women. In fact, some data suggest that men tend to UNDERESTIMATE their appeal to women because men tend to believe women care as much about looks as they do (which, on average, they don't).

Met my wife at a bar in 2000. Been married since. Can't believe this is all online now.

Just wait... Once over 70 if you're a man that can drive at night and still get it up you're in high demand.

My aunt passed away a few years ago and left my uncle a widower at age 78. Single guy, still active, kids grown and married, lots of farm land. All the single ladies at his church were bringing him food every week for a year and then some.

---

How have James Carville and Mary Matelin been married so long? I'm glad my wife and I are politically aligned, but I think politics have become too devisive. Those looking just eliminated 50% of the prospects.

The bi-monthly thread complaining about how only hot guys can get laid has re-appeared right on schedule. Obviously, an environment like online dating apps will strongly favor good looking guys. But if you go out to a bar, restaurant, concert or any other social venue you can meet women. There are so many things a man can do, short of growing taller, that will vastly enhance his chances of landing a woman that is similar to him in looks.

---

Plenty of average Joe's are hooking up in real life (as in not on dating apps) because of their personality, sense of humor, whatever. Guy in my dorm at A&M seemed to hook up with different women every few weeks and no one would have called him "hot". But he was funny as hell and had a way of talking to people and they'd instantly like him.

---

You are right, I have a friend this way. Not hot or muscular or anything but even in our younger days, he pulled in the women. Why? Because he was able to put his ego aside and risk getting rejected. That I believe is the crucial thing. No risk, no reward. The risk is a girl gets pissy when she rejects you but the reward may be that someone amazing takes a liking for you.

Men are visual (we like see hot women), women are auditory (they like to hear sweet stuff). My friend knew how to say the right things, even though he knew and she knew they were lies. Women love lies when it flatters them.

My mother is 86 and volunteers at a senior center. She regularly gets asked if she's single , with one guy saying "I'm looking for a nurse and a purse".

My one time being single after my divorce, it was not about being witty which I was, but it was about having no expectations beyond a good conversation.

When a man speaks to a decent looking woman and he does not have the need to sleep with her or even be noticed by her, it can drive that woman absolutely out of their minds. They are so used to being desired sexually that they have their defenses up and I think would have shot me down if I had tried but this attitude caught them off guard.

Also, I'm not talking about negging women which I think is a disgusting trick to play on the weakness of damaged women.

Just be nice, have fun, joke with them, and then don't try to make a move on them. Most of them will be asking you to come in, have a drink etc. I would tell them up front I don't want a relationship and they would still want to sleep with me.

It is also a lot easier to get negative feedback when you don't have any expectations. If you are nervous talking to a woman then you want something from her. It may be as simple as for her just to be nice to you, but they will sense it.

Correct. And now that AI and robotics are getting involved, women are the ones that are going to be the losers, just like they are losing now with their impossible standards.

Older people with free time and no fear of pregnancy, many of which are widowed and seeing that their days are numbered. Also the healthy women outnumber the healthy men in the single category.

It's true. Back when I was single being 6'2", in shape, full head of hair, good teeth and a good job was a cheat code. I'd swipe when I was bored and then sort the bodies out later. God bless great genetics, sucks for everyone else!!

This reminds me about the department stores which offeres men and women:

There was a department store that offered women men for marriage. Each one had a floor that offered different requirements.

First Floor: These men are good looking and over 6 feet.

Second Floor: These men are the same as the first floor but they were rich.

Third Floor: These men are the same as the second floor but are loving and loyal.

Fourth Floor: These men are the same as the third floor but are good fathers.

Fifth Floor: You are visitor 5,235,325 and proves you do not know what women want, proceed to the exit.

Then there is the men's department store:

First Floor: These women are good looking.

Second Floor: These women are the same as the first but are loving and good wives.

Third Floor: These women are the same as the second floor but are loyal and are good mothers.

Fourth Floor: Unknown for no man has ever gone to this floor.

Personally, I blame line dancing.

When people at the dance halls didn't have to go out on a limb and ask someone else to dance, I knew things were going downhill. Yeah, I know we no longer live in a world of two-stepping and George Strait and that wasn't everyone's world to begin with, but it was indicative of the trend.

I miss Gramm's and The Texas Hall of Fame.

---

So true burdizzo, I do too.

It was Lakeview Club for me. Went on a blind date set up by my secretary at the time to (a friend of hers). She did her homework and decided we were right for each other. And she was! We have been married 48 years and counting. Now we spend time working out to try and stay on top of the dirt. I shudder at the thought of having to jump into the dating cycle again.

And now, I hear that Lakeview club is making a comeback as a roller rink? Any truth to that rumor?

Church is the absolute worst.

The girls and women would only look for the "perfect" men because they have been raised under the delusion that God had already selected their husband and he will be "perfect for her." Often they'll use the stupid phrase "waiting for my Boaz" which really meant waiting for a rich guy. If I had a $ for every time I heard that, I'd be Boaz.

Also, if you ask a woman out at church, and she turns you down, you're done at that church when it comes to meeting someone. They all talk, and they all know you asked her out. Ask out another one a year later, and she'll remember and take offense to it because it means you see her as "second best."

You might be going to the wrong church.

"Negging?"

I wish! By 2015 I already owned a townhome off Washington Ave., social proof sky rocketed. Good times!!

I'll tell you a funny story, my wife became friends with one of my son's classmates at school. They went out to dinner, had a couple of drinks and this mom asked my wife this, "was your husband fk boy before you two got together?" Yes, yes I was! We had a good laugh about it as my wife has known me my whole life it seems. The hairline has receded a bit but I still have that aura.
