Being a single guy sucks

I don't know if we've ever talked, butted heads, or even clashed on this site, but after reading your post I wish you the best man. I really do. I know how difficult it is.

I'm probably going to be joining you in the single pool soon, and it petrifies me. I don't want to be there.

I met the love of my life 4 years ago, got married, and we were as happy as could be. It was amazing. Just knowing you had someone no matter what. Well, in a tragic twist of fate...now she's divorcing me after being diagnosed with and battling bipolar disorder, and there's nothing I can do about it. Everything changed just like that. She won't let me help her or support her in what she's going through, and she wants out.

Life just sucks sometimes. Bad things happen to good people. Just have to try to enjoy every day you can.

Do things that make you happy out and about. You'd be surprised how many women you randomly meet when you join social clubs, or sports intramural clubs that play volleyball or softball? It's all done for fun, and it's a great way to meet people, avoiding the online bullshit, which you're right, is a nightmare.

The point is, as tough as it is sometimes, try to enjoy your life, because time goes really fast, and none of us are going to be around forever. I will also try and listen to my own advice, haha.

I wish you the best, and good luck.

The key to success with women is complete honesty and sincerity. If you can fake that, you’re in.

I know that being single can suck for either sex. I know the last time I was single I couldn't figure out what men wanted. I think it is a problem we all face as not everyone wants the same thing.

The best thing I could do for myself was to learn to be happy by myself and with myself. If I wound up being a lonely cat lady (or dog lady) I was okay with that.

It might seem cliche, but when I stopped looking and found a way to be happy, I found the second love of my life.

I wish you happiness.

It's well known that most women are suckers for neato bug collections. So get yourself into entomology as a hobby and surprise whatever woman you're interested in with present of dead moths or beetles pinned to a card and labeled with their scientific names. Works like a charm and is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

Why would women find you attractive? You have to have some market appeal. Don't go for the pretty girls, they can be quite useless, pretty girls think being pretty is good enough so they don't focus on other things. Remember, beauty fades.

Do a self appraisal. Do you aim too high in terms of looks? Are your clothes suitable for your body type and do those clothes encourage respect. Facial hair? Lots of guys talk confident but some go into a-hole territory w/o realizing it? It's not easy for most guys while in their 20's because women's expectations are sky high. Guys also have sky expectations as alluded to before.
