life works in mysterious ways. and sometimes it sucks.

so there is this show on VH1 on friday nights called "can't get a date." it's on semi-late and most friday nights i'm home. so of course, i watch it. this week there was a guy for whom i felt such great pity. and jealousy. and confusion. this overweight, fumbling fool acted like a twelve-year old stuck in a 35-year old's body. he didn't know how to ride a bike. nor did he know how to swim. he stuttered so much he was nearly incomprehensible. and yet he got a date.
i'm at a loss.
here i am. a good head on my shoulders, a healthy dose of wit, decent looking, decently dressed, pretty decent taste in music, bicycles, electronics, etc. (yeah, i know electronics turn women on [you can admit it, girls]). i don't consider myself a "man's man," but i'd say i'm halfway to being a gentleman. why can't i get a date? anyone? any ideas?

I feel your pain. After learning that according to MSN's 6 secret guy turn-ons that I should pretty much be irrisistible I was at a similar loss. Similarly to when I see so many examples of people who suck at relationships yet are always in one. W T Fuck?
a relationship is not just going to fall from the sky. and i think you're too picky. lower your standards and you'll probably find someone (hate to say it, but it's probably true). but i understand what you mean about the certain people getting a date situation. and yeah, i'm at a loss too.
NO NO NO NO! NEVER lower your standards! i'm not kidding! make sure they're not unnecessarily high, but NEVER EVER lower your standards just to make someone else fit you. that is the right way to find the wrong girl. in my opinion, you're better off being lonely for a while and waiting for the one to come along (and she will) that actually DOES meet your expectations. THAT is worth waiting for.
