Women

I've decided that I hate the dating scene. When you are a shy introvert, it is extremely hard to find a girl, and when you do, chances are that you are not going to be compatible. It is a numbers game that requires one to try and try again. And for me, it's even harder because I'm used to getting what I want when I want it. When I want to advance in my career, I do. When I want a new car, I get one. When I want that new electronic gadget, I get it.

But that methodology doesn't work with women. First, women are not objects (nor do they come with a manual or financing, though you may need the latter). Second, they are complex. Third, they have a history (just like everyone else) which contains various amounts of baggage. Fourth, they may or may not be crazy. Fifth, they may not be straightforward (i.e. like to play games).

So what am I supposed to do? I've got no idea. At this point my options are online dating or the club/bar scene. I hate the club/bar scene. Well, I do like to dance so I'm referring to the pickup portion of the scene. It's too easy to be fake or play games and there is a ton of competition.

I also can't stand rejection. It's another thing I'm not used to. I'm use to be accepted immediately. And there is going to be rejection. And sometimes it won't be a nice rejection, it'll be a "get out of my face" type rejection.

Men take all the risk when it comes down to it. We are the ones who have to make the first move, we are the ones that have to be suave and dressed well. We are the ones that have to deal with the word no. Girls have to sit there and listen to us and make a decision yes or no while we market ourselves to them.

I wish there was a service that I could sign up for. They'd give you a battery of psychological and physical tests and come up with a score. This score would be used to perfectly match you up with the girl of your dreams. P.S. I hate eharmony.com

When it comes down to it though you have no choice. There will be games. There will be fakes. There will be crazies. There will be heartbreak. There's nothing that can be done about it. So I'll soldier on. I'll continue trying match.com and sites like it. I'll continue buying clubbing clothes and going to clubs and trying to pick up on girls.
