Like I said before, I am terribly shy and all the women i ever met from chat sites got issues

I think you're the one with issues, the keetle and the pot springs to mind.
The only issues i've got is that I've got no issues

Having a sister that will introduce you to women isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Sure, I try to chat up my sister's friends and I flirt with them at parties but that can take more confidence than aproaching strangers. If I get knocked back by a stranger it doesn't matter at all because I'm unlikely to ever see them again and it doesn't make things awkward for anybody.

There's some truth to what you say about women on dating sites but it's not much different in real life. Even the ones that seem happy and normal usually have "issues" of some sort. Why do you think that they're single? Oh yeah, I'll get jumped on for saying this but everyone tends to have issues of some sort and baggage. The confidence is quite often just a front. I know one, for instance, that flirts with everybody and she's got over six hundred friends on Facebook and guys after her all the time. A lot of women have no qualms about aproaching men at all but then when you try to get close to them they push you away. It's why a lot of relationships run into problems and break down.

Many women have approached me over the years.

You are doing something wrong. I think you need to practice some sort of "meeting dialog". You don't seem to be able to pull it off impromptu.

See what works. Humor helps a lot!

I thought I was fairly upfront in my last reply, but I'll try again.

You are broken, you need to be fixed and there is no one but you that can fix you.

Women approach men all the time...Are you too shy to smile, nod, or maybe, god forbid, wink too?whoa

Woman totally approach men. All the time. Even on here. I find the less I worry about the whole idea of it all the more it happens. Or maybe it was because I wasn't worried about it that I was able to notice it happening? Something like that I guess. I dunno good luck.

I'm not even really bothered about it at the moment and I've had women contacting me on here and asking me out. Did notice that happening more when I changed my profile to what it is now. When I put this profile up for rating it got mixed reviews. Some said that I sounded crazy and desperate and others really liked it. Not everyone is going to like you or get you. Once you stop giving a crap about what the ones that think that you're a loser think about you you stop being one.

Women would approach you.. look at you and look at me.. looks are everything to women..then personality comes second

Yeah, because your personality absolutely beams here.

Nah, I gotcha though...You don't want to hear that, who would though? Right? Because then we might have to improve.

This isn't true at all, a couple of my buddies, twins in fact, and BOTH are overweight, you couldn't tell them apart to save your life. One of them was a definite ladies man, while his brother would have still been a virgin, had his brother not taken pity on him and switched places during a one-night stand.

Now can you guess why one was a ladies man? and the other wasn't? it was simple, confidence, one was big, didn't care and he joked about his weight he was fun to be around.

The other blamed women for not liking him because he was fat or ugly, or this or that...and moped around most of the time. He was a complete downer to be around(kind of like the feel of this topic) so why would ladies choose to be around someone who is moping around?...they wouldn't.

Sure looks help, here are 4 scenarios

1. you have looks+personality=you'll find a girlfriend pretty easy

2. you have looks and no personality=you're find a girl-but will be harder to keep her in the long run.

3. you don't have looks but you have personality=you're find a girl may take a little more effort, but definitely doable and pretty quickly

4. you don't have looks, and you have no personality=you probably should lower your standards, because not sure this is exactly Jessica Alba's or probably most women's types.

I'd have to apologize I don't have a butt to look at.laugh

To the OP. There is nothing wrong with your looks that I can tell. Not like you have horns or a third eye or anything.

I'd like to know where I can find these women who approach men first.

Wow...you are extremely rude...maybe this guy needs support not you down grading him. I always seem to have to be the first one to connect with a guy on sites. You don't seem to have your crap together either so I don't think your advice is even worth reading. Sorry that I did.

I'm going to assume you are directing this at me,

Maybe I should have 'sugar coated' it, and coddled him....i looked at his age on his profile, and knew that I was talking to a man, and not a boy, A boy needs support, a man supports himself. I gave my opinion, and what I have observed, they may be right, they may be wrong, the man can decide for himself on what his own opinions are on my advice, it is just another man's observation that is all.

Sorry I don't agree with babying anyone and 'treating with kid gloves' because someone is whining, especially a man, maybe i'm old-school, maybe it was the fact i grew up on a farm with a certain set of values, and it is from these values that gave my opinion, again the op is free to take it or leave it.

As far as not 'having my stuff together' I could list out a whole bunch of things that would prove that statement false, but it is an ad-hominem argument and those are not the type of arguments I like to indulge, because frankly they will never actually become anything but people attacking each other and defending themselves with nothing ever really done about the topic. Politicians love to do this during their debates a lot, and we see how much they actually get done.

The people in history, who made it in the history books, didn't coddle-people and bow to other's emotions. instead they stood by their values, and inevitably irritated and maddened entire groups of people.

Abraham Lincoln and MLK come to mind.

Just think of the woman being a guy. The way you talk with your boyfriend is the same way you talk with a woman. Women do have issues but no more then men.

sometimes i wish i had a sister that can introduce me to girls.. it would make life a whole lot easier

Not really. Having a sister introduce you to her friends or in your case even if your guy friends introduce you to their sister, you're walking a very fine line between the family relationships and New love relationship. You have to really measure up. If you screw up you are all put in the middle and loyalty is tested.
