commit yourself to a gym and eat healthy.... it will make you more confident and attractive. that will be the bait to lure some women.

getting fatter, lazier, and sadder isn't going to help you any.

its time to just move out and move somewhere completely different (like nyc).

start life anew and see where it takes you.

hit up the clubs and/or lounges and feel the music.

why are you still fat? eat right. stop playing wow.
your face isn't the problem, i don't think (i haven't seen it, so i can't say for sure)... your attitude is.

what's wrong with your face?

what do you do for a living? how much money do you make?

Maybe this guy should try to get on Queer Eye or one of those Extreme Makeover shows. They should be able to fix 'em up.

Anyone else like me? Thank god for WoW or I would really feel like a social outcast

Situation 1 is most likely the cause for situation 2. What, are you trying to stay at home so long your parents are going to move out???

haha

Stop whining, and take the Bay Bridge over to Oakland. You can probably afford an apartment over there.

I would love one of those. Especially for fixing my hair and my clothes. I have no style.

How does one get on one of those shows? Write me in for the show!

Is this for real?

I have always thought bennylong always made himself appear to be a dork, and regardless if this is fact or not I still think he is a loser. Sort of like a lose-lose situation.

If this thread is some lame joke, well it's pretty lame and yet another dumb post of yours.

If this thread is in all seriousness then you are still a loser. I am a very short guy, 5'5" depending on which liquor store I am walking out of, and I hardly ever have problems going out and meeting girls. It isn't your height that is the problem it is who you are that is the problem.

I dunno if this thread is for real, but for all the guys that did post in here and have this sort of problem, GROW SOME BALLS

I'm usually a pretty nice guy, but cmon, this is rediculous. The only reason why none of you have had GF's is because you have no confidence in yourselves. When you guys see a girl and look down, look away, and just know that you'll never get her is the one thing girls don't like in guys - and the truth is, at this rate you won't ever get her.

Get out, go somewhere, do something other than sitting in your parents' place playing WoW all day. Meet some people, and have confidence in yourself when you do meet them. Girls or guys, it doesn't matter, the more social you are in general, the better chances you'll have at ANYTHING.

Now, I've never met a 4'4" girl, so the OP best bet is to find a girl that is
a) Domineering and likes to dominate guys
b) Wants a guy around the same height <--- best bet as a lot of girls are 5'
c) go to bride.ru

well, this is getting more depressing by the minute

If what I saw on a 20/20 episode is true then most girls would pick me over you in a room (since I'm taller -- unless you are lying about your height), but when they see us without any clothes on, then they will prefer you.

So, my advice to you is to wear tight pants so girls will know that even though you are short "up there" you aren't short "down there" if you catch my drift...

I think that you need a friend to sponsor you, and send in a video showing how weird you are. I sincerely hope that you have some friends outside of WoW who are willing to help you with this.

Basically a programmer. And don't be sad for me. That's the other thing that depresses me: One -- when no one believes me. Two - when someone believes me and is sad for me. Finally, stop hitting on me -- I'm not wealthy you golddigger.

If you think you need abs and nice clothes to get girls, you sorely lack the one thing you need.

Having a shred of personality and humanity would be a good start. Being able to spell and using the absolute bare minimum of proper grammar and syntax certainly doesn't hurt either.

If you just want to nail ditzy girls that would fall for a douche like inveterate, prostitutes are probably cheaper.

And I'd certainly help the OP, if I actually believed him, and if I actually thought it'd go somewhere....god knows I've tried and succeeded doing such in the past, only to have it fall flat on his face because he screwed it up soon thereafter.

The 15seconds thing was from a 'study' I read back in a newspaper a few weeks/ months ago.

3)How do you know whether or not he pays rent without seeing a CoO(Cert of Occupancy)?

4) So what? If he majored into a sinking market(liberal arts), then he more than likely has to start a new career by going back for a different degree or just Adult continuing education.

I swear some people have no concept of today's living standards in United states at all or have any understanding of dating standards.

90% of innercity Women are attracted to Guys for materialism. Ever wonder why so many guys hook (mod) their cars up (Honda, Subaru,Escalade,etc) with fancy accessories? They aren't doing it to impress the next guy. It's for the opposite sex.

The whole "Confidence" advise is pretty much outdated. You can be a confident pervert or confident overweight male or confident with Acne. That doesn't mean anything. At the end of the day, it's more about How much money you have or what kind of vehicle you drive.

Although, I don't speak for every ethnic background available. I can speak on my day to day observations and also speak based on the fact I'm in a similar situation of the OP. I don't make alot of money and I'm still finishing school and women for some odd reason Do Not speak at all. It's almost as if you're transparent to them when there is no materialism involved. But, I'm only 26. Just my observation and opinion.

Hmmmmm...must be the girls you are meeting. Or just a run of bad luck?

First are you meeting girls?

What do you mean they do not speak? You try to make chit chat and they don't speak? Well it's THEM and not you then. Try a different circle of friends or activities to meet more girls.

Confidence is a big thing. Confident people are usually upbeat and happy people. Most girls want to be with a positive guy not a guy in self pity.

Try and meet girls not in the innercity then.

You can try dance classes. You WILL meet girls, get some exercise and hopefully start to feel more comfortable around girls :thumbsup:


If you won't try dance class because other guys couldn't bear the thought of going and think your a bit on the 'gay' side well thats BS. You will be with a bunch of girls

This just amused me. I was better with girls until puberty. In elementary school, boys my age would all be in the "eeew, girls!!!" stage, cooties, etc etc. I never was like that. Girls were generally not as, well, petty and stupid as the boys tended to be. Then as everyone approached puberty, rules of the game started to change, and I got left behind. "Popularity" became the big thing, and I never got on that bandwagon. It all struck me as little more than the homo sapien translation of apes proving who's the biggest and baddest by chest-pounding, and shaking big branches in the woods and making noise - not exactly behavior I'd think that this species should need to engage in. So I didn't do it. I made no attempt to be popular because it seemed utterly juvenile and primitive in a sense. Thus I was kind of isolated from my peers, and that situation remains that way to this day.

Maybe I just haven't found my "niche" or the right kind of people to be around. I might have made it into the goth-type circles, but I regarded the attire as quite an empty and ridiculous statement. At least at my school, they seemed to be fairly intelligent people who didn't like the status quo. But they also dressed rather oddly, in typical gothy style.

I'm one who wouldn't mind a girl who's taller than me. It just isn't an issue.

Hey Benny:
- get some lifts in your shoes, it'll get you past that "magical" 5 foot mark, maybe 5'1' or 2'. You'll be surprised how it gets you within their eye level, except for those giant dutch and scandinavian girls.

-play the starving artist type- get a DSLR and offer to take photos of willing wimmin. Or learn to play the guitar, or kazoo for that matter.

- Latino, filipino women are very friendly for the hookup. You think they have it easy where they come from? If you're not initimidated, East European women don't seem to be hung up on race (but don't forget your extra high lifts! ).

- do you have an unmarked van, rope, and chloroform?
