Whats the matter with me? Has anything changed?

You can never go wrong with the ladies if you follow the above advice from Mike Damone to Mark Ratner.

The other movie advice that helps with women is from John Winger, "Chicks dig me because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it's usually something unusual."

Which leads to John Winger's advice on how to keep a woman when she's leaving you, "You can't go. All the plants will die."

Remembering what made a guy appealing vs a turn off for me personally...

Make sure you have good oral hygiene and fresh breath.

Same for the rest of you. : )

Clothes - fit in with others. And clean. Same for your auto and home.

Be independent of your parents and have high goals for achievement.

You don't have to be a stud, but carry yourself with real confidence - head-up - eye contact, smile, but not too much. Have a sense of humor with a "wink" to it. Not goofy.

Confidence is *huge*. You need to give the impression that you are the one selecting - not hoping to be selected. You are happy with yourself and don't need a girl to make you happy - one who happened along and passed your high standards would be icing on the cake, but til then, hey... yer cool.

Clinginess or neediness will make any healthy girl run.

So will anything that comes off as whining or being a victim... Don't spent the date talking about Liberals or your frustration with society.

Someone mentioned ordering for her... such good advice. A lot of women today might be warped with the feminist mindset, but you don't need them. Plenty out there want a Real Man. Be one.

Ordering for her, opening doors, being protective, and all the other traditional forms are a great way to set yourself apart from the others - and establish your traditional tastes in lifestyle. (I'm assuming that fits you since you are here - if not, ignore.)

I'm also assuming you are already active in the local political scene, Young Republicans, etc.

Find a position of authority - be a leader. Be a good one.

Finally, I agree with the others.. you are so young. Dating now should be just for fun. You'll be more marketable the older you get and develop some gravitas. At this point, a lot of the girls your age are looking at men in their late twenties and early thirties. You could easily find a girl 4-5 years your younger, but they will change so much in the next decade, they should only be considered temporary dating material. And when you are in your thirties, you will be able to be sooo much more selective.

Finally, never, ever talk about how hard it is to find dates. Just talk about how hard it is to find intelligent women ... give the girl a standard she feels she must meet to deserve you. (I'm assuming you know better to think that means be a jerk.)

CCC, a lot of this might apply to you, or it might not. If you're 39, there are a lot of other things that could be going on... like where you live, maybe.

My 2 cents, FWIW... Those are the things I can think of that mattered to me.

Just for kicks, did a search in my area.
I will only drink bottled water from now on.

The frog-eyed chick with "rehab" as part of her nickname put it over the edge.
If I have nightmares tonight, it's all your fault!

Any time : ) My brother just got married at 27. A handsome marine, and he went thru the same thing as you til he found her last summer. (No, they didn't date long enough, but what could I say? lol)

Anyway, my sister is also single, so between the two, I've had this convo a million times, and I never got bored with it. ; )

Are you really shy? Bad location? Or are ya just really picky? lol My best friend is 40 and model-gorgeous, she just hasn't found a guy who has no flaws. lol

Seeing as I've thrown some BS up here for you, I should probably add some serious stuff too. I don't know if any of this has been mentioned before.

Most people meet their mates through work, school or Church. The key is to find something in common. Maybe try your school's Young Pubbie Club or volunteer for your local Congress candidate. Getting involved at Church is another good idea, although if you do find someone there, you will be under the scrutiny of the whole congregation. Other than that, get involved with others that like what you like, bike clubs, running, history. Except for IT women. All of the hot IT babes have been outsourced to India.

Anyway, exposure is the key. Us "yentas" here on FR have no accountability. If you fail, we'll just say "you f**ked up, you trusted us."

Happy hunting...and stay away from Anna Kournikova. She's mine!

You are a good guy with the ladies, help a brother out!

If you drug them, that helps.

Actually, I haven't been having alot of luck lately myself.

I see a chick, saunter up (real cool like) and say: (in my best Marlin Brando voice)

"Is that a keg in your pants? Cause I would really like to tap that (censored)"

I think maybe it's my aftershave..

Honestly, I would pray..

Jacob prayed for a wife and God gave him Rachel.

I prayed and he's given me the most wonderful girl I ever met. We're engaged, actually.

Don't look in bars, don't mess with anything you find on the internet out of desperation or despair. Just pray and be patient.

God knows everyones heart and he's the best matchmaker there is.
