I couldn't have put it better myself. Just today it begun to occur to me that perhaps we have to accept many things in life today which are so sub-par, underwhelming, mundane...if I was such a catch with women I wouldn't have my parents telling me to actually go out and meet women. Dating doesn't start with old fashioned conversations and sharing interests- dating starts when a girl jumps on you and wants to shag your brains out. You could swiftly tell if a woman was interested.
I had spent my youth around a lot of shallow, close-minded, and insensitive people that are reflective of society today, particularly people of my age and younger...girls have laughed at me in the past just for being alive on the bus, in college....it is so depressing. And the way they speak about others is horrible as well- meanwhile men in the media get knocked for being lying, cheating pigs who think with their stomachs or think with their d**s. It doesn't make my outlook on ever trusting or intimacy or faith in women any easier. I have felt this way for a long time.
Meanwhile people complain that I am pessimistic, negative and have no confidence and I get all the 'tough love' anecdotes...usually those are elder people who seem blind to where society has gone, because perhaps by my reckoning when they got their life stuff together it was probably easier to do so than today, because society was not so saturated in superficiality, and like you say, sex.
