    dating is still oriented towards getting a woman to like you over anything else, some guys just don't have a personality and body that sells well. That's literally it, everything else on this thread is waffling.

      Harsh but unfortunately true. Though what might not "sell well" to some, might be in high demand to others, to continue the analogy.

        No it's not. Romance is such a complicated part of human life, and it's one of the hardest to get right if you're struggling with it while also making you feel like a piece of shit. I haven't had great romantic success, and I know it's because I am a very odd person and most people just do not know how to process me, and those that do usually don't see me as a potential partner. I'm fully aware that's just part of my life and I'm not gonna change it, but you think it doesn't hurt when my friends are on dates and I'm not? I am not obsessed with the issue, I have a pretty happy life overall with many meaningful relationships, but I definitely get upset when I think about how and why I'm single from time to time.
