@ Ecthelion

This occurs when I'm non-geeky , you know . Trust me , you ( or anyone else ) won't like me when I'm geeky , and geekiness is a luxury I allow myself only if I'm alone . Does the fact that I have deliberately tried to create an aura of confidence and energy wherever I go have anything to do with it ?

Okay.

How about "no pain, no gain" or "no guts, no glory?" The bottom line is, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you long for a relationship, make a good, honest effort.

Don't worry, age is on our side. 28 is nothing, Rich, you aren't even 30, and 30 is just barely starting.

PH. Why not just try acting normally?

I mean.. don't act as if you are mentally undressing every girl you speak to. Surprisingly, women do enjoy talking normally to men, and quite like the idea that one can speak without an undertone of lust.

Not every woman in the world is going to like you, but if you speak to them normally you'll probably find one sooner rather than later.


And ****ing listen to her. Women hate men who don't listen. Wait until you are married to stop listening.

Don't worry Rich, I didn't get my first girlfriend until I was 18! Oh, wait... what I mean is, if I can get a girlfriend, there's hope for you too! Yes, that's the ticket.

Personally I think you're doing just fine. Sure you might not pull, but I think it'll happen sooner or later. Just keep tagging along with me and Dauphin, one of our cast-offs might take a shine to you. Okay sorry now I'm being mean. Hugs!

[Insert Ladder Theory reference]

Note that acting naturally only helps if your natural self is sufferable. Considering you post on 'Poly, that cannot be taken for granted.

And indeed he doesn't! He acts completely and utterly normally around women in my experience. I don't think there's anything wrong with him or how he functions in society... I reckon if he put himself in enough situations to meet new women he could end his unlucky streak no problems.

The girls who'd appreciate talking with him would probably not want him as more than a friend, according to ladder theory.

The answer is obvious. He has been the victim of a malicious spellcaster. He should report himself to his local West Indian witch doctor.

Rich has a few great things going for him. His skin is dark and chicks dig that, see: Blondes and black guys. Though not black, he's dark nuf. He's stocky, chicks dig stocky guys. See: girth. He's got black hair, chicks think guys with black hair are cool. See: erm, James Bond.

Suggestions for Rich:

1) Comb hair

2) Lose the camo, chicks think it's threatening. Get a pair of jeans and break em in, the faster the better.

3) Get a real shirt, light color, and maybe a cotton dress jacket, black. You can wear those without ties, which btw, chicks don't dig.

4) Or, Rich, forget the above, get your ass to our place in the Phils, and come as you are.

5) Duh.

I've already mentioned numerous times about the paralysing anxiety. It's not like it is just being 'a bit nervous' about it like other people, this stops me in my tracks. It just makes me feel very self-conscious and just utterly undesirable.

In some ways late 20s is just 'barely starting', in this respect, it's a world of difference...
