Bollocks. That's meaningless self-pity that is downright offensive to everyone else in the planet "Oh, you don't actually did anything to deserve friends and love, you are just lucky". Screw that shit, you don't get laid and it's your own fault, not society's or your genes and you will feel like crap until you admit it.

You don't bother meeting new people. You don't take care of yourself. You irradiate desesperation and self-loathing. You badmouth other people's experiences and make excuses for why people don't like you when you don't even try. You would be undateable even if you looked like a Greek statue, for fuck's sake.

I mean, you realize that ugly people get laid, right? That they fall in love and have relationships and are happy. That you are the exception. And not even a particularly big exception, you are not the first depressed 19 year old who thinks he'll never go on a date, c'mon Forlon you are pretty smart guy, you know this.

Go to a polyamory forum or a BDSM one. Check how people look. You'll find lots of "ugly" people there, having relationships while you don't. And there's a reason for that: They actually try.

If you just spent half the time you spend complaining on the internet in singing up for an online site and sending a couple messages...I even doubt you are ugly. You probably dress like crap and have ugly, unkept hair but that's all.

By the way, I think you guys may remember that I wasn't doing well in college and felt pretty bad about it so I left. And it was one of the best decisions I could have taken, I'm now a taking a course (not sure what the equivalent is in the Anglosaxon world) on International Commerce and I feel far, far better. The curriculum is less taxing study-wise, which was my weak spot, and I really enjoy the subjects, which are nothing like what I studied back then.

So yeah, I'm really glad I chose to do this :)

Good for you, dude! I hope you do well in your international commerce course.

Remember to pronounce San Jose the way it's spelled; that way they'll know you're serious about your studies.

I'm back tracking so I apologize for the multiple posts.

That tells you a lot? All it tells me is that I'm sexually attracted to petite women. Knowing what I like serves me well and is very positive. I'll even go further...

I prefer women with facial features that resemble a young Audrey Hepburn. Large eyes, pout lips, slim neck, and long flowing hair. See also, Natalie Portman.

Got more friends than I can count and am a social butterfly, but when it comes to attractiveness, I know what I like and what turns me on. Have zero clue why that could be a bad thing.

2) Forlorn, why do you keep ignoring me dude.
1)That would be too easy. I will but won't mention the proportion of her body weight.

2)Don't think you'll get through to him dude. Shooting you a PM in a few minutes.

Haha that's fine. It just struck me as really restrictive. I mean size 2 or less is what? 5% of the population?

I've never had a really specific "body preference." I used to work with a gal who had 100 pounds on me and was fine as hellz. She tried to hit this actually, but I was already with my wife (tho not married yet) at that point.
Oh! Congrats Oxy! Get yourself a Sharks hockey sweater and rock that mutha!

Boners, it is restrictive and I don't mind that. I'm not repulsed by girls over a size 2 by any means, it's that I know what I like.

Of course, Popo. It's pronounced San Jo-see.
