Not sure why. It's perfectly possible to have a partner and still suck, which Robert very evidently does -- H |

If I could choose to be the life of the party, and if I could have chosen (in my younger years) to be a chick magnet just by donning a different personality, I would have done so. But it doesn't work that way. I can't just decide to change and then ... voila, a new me, a different personality. Believe me, I tried. I joined local meetup groups, did the local HT groups, played in Texas Hold'em groups, tried 8 minute dating when I was single, went to night clubs, etc. I did get a few dates out of it and made some casual acquaintances, but in spite of all those opportunities, I failed to make one true friend. That's frustrating. Very frustrating. |

My lack of social connections is what caused one of our past breakups. I was depending on her to provide our social life, so this is a serious issue for me, even if I do have a steady supply of snatch. I was really surprised by the response (or lack thereof). hmmm |

So back to my original post, I feel invisible and disconnected because people don't seem to share my interests.
About the women, I'm not saying I want to date. It'd just be nice to get noticed (instead of feeling invisible) once in a while. I think most men could relate to the satisfaction of knowing you're being "checked out" by a good-looking woman. No motive, no expectation, just a nice pick-me-up. |

. If you are a member here, then you probably have an HT that will impress the heck out of them. They will wanna come back.
