Sharp and constant pressure?![]()
Oh I think women do want nice and educated men.
I refer to being brutally rejected every single time I have expressed affection for a lady.
Sure. They want nice and educated men who are also athletic and charming and charismatic and talented and good-looking. And when there are plenty of those around, just being nice and educated doesn't cut it.
I hate the fact that if you don't look like a Barbie doll, a guy won't want you. 
Pfft. Barbie Doll types turn me right the heck off.
ChaseThisLight: About half of the over 2 dozen women in whom I have been interested were my friends. For a while I tried cold asking out women with whom I did not already have a close acquaintance, but I eventually went back to the idea of using friendship as the foundation of all relationships, to which I still hold. I was actually in love with three of those with whom I had a close friendship; the rest were genuine attraction and interest but not exactly being "in love". After recovering for the third time from falling in love and having my heart ripped out of my chest with her bare hands and thrown on the floor and stomped upon until I died (props to whomever gets the reference!) I finally learned how to avoid exposing myself like that. And I've learned to preserve my friendships by not broadcasting my affection without having first obtained a sign of mutual interest - which has not yet happened.



Same here.

Aww I'm sorry. I never had a date to any of my past formals either.
You could always get a group of single gal pals to go with. That's what I always did.![]()
