Yes I am, Ive been told (though I have a babyface) Im very handsome. Im 6'2 and lean and ripped. In fact Ive had girls tell me in the past that they never approach me cause they assume im already taken
And you are right, we live in more of a superficial world today than its ever been. Though they wont admit it, most girls (and i know this forsure) wont ever date an overweight obess guy. They can say "looks dont matter...its inside that counts" all they want. Ask them if they would turn down a guy because hes obess and i gaurentee (unless the girl was obess herself) you will have a tough time finding a girl say no. Sad but true.
Ill be honest ive even tried replying to Craigslist postings, backpage postings and phone dating chatlines. Talk about self degrading.

I think its just the whole online thing. I dont know but i just cant help but feel ashamed of myself for having to "pay" to meet women online.
I shouldnt even have to be doing this. It just seems online is just too much of a toss up, a gamble basically. The whole talking behind a computer first then doing the whole email/txt thing meh. Gets tiresome after awhile. I wish I could just cut through all the nonsense and meet women face to face and get right to the point. Im a very blunt person btw, if you havent picked up on it yet.

I went out got some balls started talking to girls got some dates and met a great one. Internet dating has worked for some I don't deny that, but I had more fun going out and meeting people. Play the dating game for real go out make friends and if it works out date. That is way more productive, then reading profiles, and looking at pictures to find a mate.

Much easier said than done when 1) No longer in college (where it was prime for meeting girls) 2) Not into the bar/club scene 3) Pretty much everyone i know is either married and/or has kids and just goes to work and home.
