Clarity makes a huge difference. Depression certainly won't help you on your journey. Make sure the time is right. Don't place your worth on your relationship status. So what if you're still single? I love it! Enjoy the perks that being single has to offer. No wonder you're depressed if you're already thinking you're out of your peak. Holy cow your future looks bleak. That attitude may be spilling over into your journey and people pick up on that. That may be why you can't find anyone. I don't know how you word your messages. That might be playing a factor. Also, why such a significant need to work so hard on yourself? Chill, enjoy life, and enjoy the journey.

Are you asking for yourself or Asian guys? Why are you basing life choices on printed material and allowing "horrifying" results guide your choices? What kind of mixed couples? What races/ethnicities? How do those results even have anything to do with whom you are attracted to?? I would answer those questions first and then start your search. Get this confusion out of the way. Good luck

Doesn't it though?

Sure, if everyone is in denial about the issues or unwilling to confront the problems and deal with them. Personally, misery is not worth my time. That's why they say, "misery loves company."

That's sweet. Of course it counts.

Easy there

So I've been doing it wrong this whole time?? Yikes!

Truth!

It could be anything. It could be the way they were raised, how they view themselves, etc. I have to disagree with most women. Maybe most women you've met because "most" women that I know, don't have this attitude. Then again, you gotta realize many men expect sex if they've taken them out on a fancy dinner. Don't be surprised that women act this way too. It's sad.

Personal preference

I think it's scary for all of us, some more than others. Well, being a hermit is not going to help. You gotta get out there. You can start off by finding places where you can meet like-minded people. For ex., art galleries, car shows, concerts, etc. Suggest hanging out with your co-workers after work. Force yourself off the internet. If you force yourself out of the house, turn off your Wi-fi. Since you are on the internet a lot, find some groups that are like-minded and get together with the group. There are hiking groups, groups that like to debate, etc. I use meetup.com to make friends. Good luck!

Love the analogy

Silly lady. Women don't pay for sex! We don't have to

Better? As in quality, morals, safety, or consequences? I think having a one-night stand with someone you know, that should be okay. It happens all the time. Personally, the others are too risky. You don't know this person. Anything can happen.

I gave you advice on approaching a woman in public since you didn't clarify. Should still be helpful.

No kidding!

Are you approaching them with your shirt lifted up like on your picture? I mean, that is something I would not do. How do you present yourself in public? What are you currently doing? Anything? Is what you are doing not working? If so, why not? Maybe you're using a bad approach. Just start off with hey, how are you doing and smile. Think of a question that does not allow for a yes or no answer. For ex., ask her what she does for work. That could lead to a conversation that gives both of you a chance to get a feel for each other. If things are going well, ask her to go get coffe, ice cream, anything casual. Offer to give you her number. If you ask for hers, you take the chance of her saying no.

yes. Is that all you wanted to know?

Get over him! Meet someone else. Love yourself. Do you really want a low-life like this man? Let him use someone else.

Stop it!
