It's a two way street. Women need to do the same with themselves and learn that not all men are smooth talking 6 foot, 6 figure, 6 pack ab guys and that most of them are users after a body count.

If you don't fit that mold or are socially awkward, you are excluded. Women can claim they need to measure up to insane standards, but then they do the exact same to average guys.

It's certainly possible. I haven't been in the dating game in a long time, and of course, objectively I'm a catch (/sarcasm for the internet).

I generally fall into the category of figuring out what's wrong with myself first and then working outward. And in that hierarchy, I'm going to focus on guys before I focus on women.

I guess I can bring up a point in another thread I made -- the idea of de-centering sex and relationships. We place way to much emphasis, and self worth, on whether we can get laid, or end up in a long term marriage. And I say that as someone who enjoys sex and my marriage. But I've gotten happier in my life and my marriage the more I define my value on how well I help other people out, or other measures of my worth to myself and society - and not on how easy it is for me to get laid.
