I only mention it because these may not be your intentions and you may not realize how you're sounding. :huh:
Not really, no. While it sucks that this is the case, there isn't anything to be done about it. Sorry for sounding like a broken record, though.

Look, this has gotten tedious.

There are thousands of users on this board, and we don't want every one who has nothing to add to a thread to post to every thread and tell us so. Please, please, let some romantic thread be about something other than your self-pity.

Remove the noose from around thy neck, step down from the chair, and do something positive. How many hours a day do you spend in front of your computer? Get outside. Lose weight if you need to. Get some decent threads. Associate with people who are doing things, and do things yourself.

Consider counseling for your obvious depression. Consider medication if necessary. Do little constructive things to better your life without worrying about whether or not you're going to attract women. When your activity level increases, and your outlook becomes positive, those things will take care of themselves.

Seconded.

If you don't have anything to say -- DON'T SAY IT! Don't post and TELL US you have nothing to say.

I can't believe people have to explain this.

The worst part about putting someone on your ignore list is that you can still see when they post. And in this case, I may as well have not bothered, since I can just guess it'll be "I'm so horribly ugly no one could be attracted to me," or "I asked a woman out recently and was rejected," or perhaps, "Maybe if you're looking for casual sex, but I am not and would never want that." I mean, what's the point of ignore lists when you can fill in the blanks anyway?

T MONCAP: Start your own thread.

There are many things that can be done about it. You need to address your problems in some way, because I'll tell you right now, as soon as any decent woman gets a whiff of this self debasing, self pitying, "woe is me" crap she is going to run away...far and fast.

It's less about appearance than you seem to realize.

I completely and utterly second. I couldn't really care less what someone looks like if I am attracted to them. But I would never be attracted to anyone who can't say anything other than 'I am so ugly, noone will ever go out with me' etc. MC this is not aimed at you specifically but you really ought to listen to the people on this thread .

I have none. My life has been generally unhappy. Leaving behind the scum that inhabited the grade and middle schools that I attended can be seen as a good thing, I guess.
