Sense of entitlement notwithstanding, though I disagree I have one, there is also the problem of women not receiving replies from guys more than 'Huh. Hi. Wanna fuck?' or some such excuse, but they do receive messages that aren't of that nature and they either don't read them or they are ignored, so it very well goes…

Hi there. I recognize your username from before.

I could very well be. I'm still trying to work on why that is. I also realize that I can't possibly be the entire reason for my continued rejection. Especially when I will always hear the traditional "You're a great guy! You'll find someone soon!" or "You are a really nice, terrific person! How come you haven't met…

Pick Up Artists shoot themselves in the foot by perpetuating this gameplaying shit that has poisoned the modern dating scene to the point that the rules of dating have gotten out of control. Common sense and decency no longer apply to either gender, and until people wake the fuck up and see past the instant hookup…

It either will or it won't. I'm learning to exercise more patience, but even the most patient of folks run out eventually.

My condolences to your friends for the problems they had with the big sites. I've also heard lousy things about them, especially eHarmony.

It has been from my experience, and several of my friends, that a female friend is a friend only and nothing else will ever come from that. Various female friends over the years who I was friends with for 3 years or more whom I always though may have been interested in me, always shot me down, saying we're just…

Thanks for the pleasant response and advice. I'll check out your book recommendation.

Yes, I've tried online dating, and I have had a worse experience with that than I have in the real world. I can't afford Match, eHarmony, or any of the other pay sites, so I joined the free ones, and I look on craigslist. It's a bigger crapshoot than real life dating and if I ever did hear back from a match, it's to…

That's alright. I realize I come off pretty headstrong in my posts too, such is the nature of comments on the internet.

That's a misunderstanding then because what I meant was part of what I am discussing with my therapist is my outlook on relationships and wondering whether or not I am emotionally and mentally ready for such a thing, and the signs from what she tells me seem to be yes. The other part, which is the part that I am…

Yeah, I'm really trying to. I am saying that I am becoming comfortable with being single and no expectations and all that but it's only partly true, there is a big part of me that cannot let the expectation of having someone else around to share in all things, pain, sorrow, wins, losses, sickness, and health. And that…

So then what you're saying is basically, is that it is all about wealth, power and materialism? If that were to be true, then 99% of us would be hopelessly fucked.

Yes, I'm actually currently seeing a therapist, but it's only going so far because of her and my schedules and available finances to see her. I'm making more progress with this one than any of the previous therapists I have seen before, just not as often as I would like to.

I think this is a very well written article, however, while I acknowledge and like the fact that rejection is first in the article, I can definitely attest that there is a point to rejection, more so than the number of relationships, partners, even more so than breakups, and that is constant rejection.

The character design was particularly great. I wish I still had my copy of the game. I sold it to pay bills. :(

Fair enough, but the amount of money spent on getting rid of bedbugs will FAR outweigh any money saved but reupholstering a piece of used furniture.

I get that MetroPCS is now owned by T-Mobile, but they are much better to work with cost and service wise. I wish they would have made the list. They also have the best overall service quality in my area.

I didn't think their prices were that great. I paid more for them than I did with Straight Talk, but we agree on quality. Worst experience with a carrier for me ever, prepaid or big 5.

Yeah that is a particularly good stack of games in that photo. Not even a Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, or Madden or sports title in the lot. I own 4 of those titles in that stack of games myself.
