Eddie Edirol Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 If only there were actually men that are not gay, taken, married or "I"m not interested in relationships" that hang after work in real life. Sorry, I'm new here. What is an "SO"? SO = Significant Other. If thats all youre running into, youre not looking hard enough. Theres plenty of people out there. Its just that the percentage of available men and women that arent crazy in some way is smaller. Gotta keep at it. Giving up and complaining about it is energy wasted that could be used in figuring out your filters. Link to post Share on other sites
PegNosePete Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 gay, taken and not interested? I'm not pay, taken or married. Getting out of the third one of those has made me not want the 4th on your list Link to post Share on other sites
Lance22 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yes it was a pretty silly one. There are people on the internet in every single situation that you can possibly think of. I could ask is there a one-legged gay midget on the internet and the answer would be yes, somewhere, there probably is. This answer made my day, hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites

Author orangelady Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 But they're not interested. I wouldn't even know how to go out and invite people anyway. For those who are not interested, screw em. OK maybe you can try to go somewhere where there are bound to be women. Like...the library? or the frozen turkey department? And then strike up a convo. I get excited when someone strikes a convo with me...I feel happy. Even if it's a woman. Link to post Share on other sites

It's easier to hit on someone who has a boyfriend, that way you know what you're up against. Edited April 6, 2011 by westernxer Link to post Share on other sites
Duckduckgoose Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Right now the economy in the USA is still kind of bad. The unemployment rates are still higher than they have been for a while. Just because a man is unemployed it may not be his fault or a character flaw that prevents him from working. He may be looking diligently for work and just not having any luck. Right now that is very possible. A chronically unemployed person I would wonder about though. Be they male or female. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not talking about those who CAN'T find employment. But I'm talking about those who live outside the U.S where the economy is fine. There ARE jobs for them, but they won't. They rather sit at home watching movies and playing games. Link to post Share on other sites

Floridaman Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) But they're not interested. I wouldn't even know how to go out and invite people anyway. Ross, Just start doing "cold calls." Doubt you are in a sales position, where you'd have to be a little extroverted, but if you see a woman waiting for a class, or one sitting alone in a restaurant, or one on the train, at the laundry mat, at the bus stop waiting for the bus, etc., just strike up a conversation with them. If like between classes, ask her what field she's studying for, or if you're in some group get together or in a church activity, and you have a chance to talk with her, ask her something as simple as "So how's your life these days?" Or... if in the event, "So what do you like about THIS TOPIC?" Or... "What kind of things do you like to do?" Just get to talking with them. If things look to be going well and the conversation flows, kind of "naturally" work into the conversation how you'd like to talk more about this topic with her over dinner or coffee or something... Or maybe there's this crafts fair or symphony or ball game she might be interested in.... Making cold calls takes some nerve, obv., but it only takes a couple of them to get one interested in going on a first date with you. I made a cold call in my late 20s and after the small talk, ended up dating this woman for a year or two. Of course, as always happened then, she dumped me, but that's a diff. story. At least I got some dates, and that's what I was wanting... Wasn't gonna stand for just sitting back and letting "love find me" anymore.
