I'm still platonic friend fodder Ok, I consider myself lucky that I attract female friends. Sometimes guys can be real dicks. Yes it is a sexist statement, but it is true too often. Besides, the females that have showed up in this chatroom seem to be very nice, so you should consider yourself lucky. I'm a great guy but not her type That's what dating is for, if you don't strike the opposite sex's fancy, than you will never be his or her type. And I know you have heard it before but, the right girl will come around, if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. she's just looks fucking awesome. and she seems nice enough Ok, you are angry because you think you are ugly. I cannot say because I have never seen you, but ask yourself if you would date and ugly woman. No? Then what woman will date and ugly man? You are seeking someone so shallow, that they are put off by your "looks". If you really want someone to love than looks will not matter. I shouldn't wear glasses, I'm not 6'0", not buff enough, and that I stutter, mumble, and talk too fast when I'm nervous Ok, I wear glasses. I am 6'3" but I weigh about a buck and a quarter. I tend to talk either to fast or too slow. Do you really think the right woman will be put off by such things. If any of them are, they are more shallow than rainfall in the Sahara. I've come to recognize that women have far more tremendous insecurities about themselves than we men do about ourselves. If you can make a woman feel good about herself, you have her half won already. Because at the basic level, that is all love is. Two people who want to make each other happy. Still don't believe me? Listen up young grasshopper. Almost two years ago I dated someone who I tried to convince myself I was in love with. Turns out she just wanted to get me in the sack because of a rumor she heard. Now, you men might think that being wanted for sex is great. It was the worst fucking experience of my life. I cared about this girl, and I was nothing more than a token lay to her. I am 18, still a virgin, and she was about 3 seconds away from being my first. Lets just say I am glad I didn't fuck her. I met my soulmate. She doesn't care that I wear glasses. Or that I am a foot taller than her. Or that I complicate conversations by trying to sound like a thesaurus. She is the only person who has ever loved me because she wanted to, not because she had to. No Now, for 2 years I swore off of women. I even missed my own prom because of the fear of pain like that again. I say to you, if a woman ever hurts you as much as she hurt me, do not fret. The girl of your dreams is right around the corner And you will be the man of her dreams, even with the glasses. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
