I'm new to this website, so if this subject has been adressed here, I apologize. But this something I have been thinking about for sometime.

What I have to say is something alot of people already know. Some dont know, and some are in total denial of it.

Ok. This is an example. This guy at my work. (no, its not me) Late 20's normal looking. His problem is that he cant seem to get a date, or if he gets one, it will maybe only be one date with a certain girl.

One thing I notice is, after he gets rejected he says things like, they are such *****es, its them ,not me, I'm a cool, good looking guy. He says this. What he needs to do, is take a look at himself. No one at work likes him. And he dosent know why. He's in total denial of his problems. When you first meet him you think he's pretty cool. But spend a few days getting to know him and you see how much of a jerk he is. This is why he cant seem to get a date.

The other day, I was talking to a friend of mine. I told her about all the times when I was younger that I got rejected by females. She said, you were too good for them. They didnt see the good qualities in you. Ect. Maybe sometimes. But I couldnt be in denial. But I had to be honest with myself, to see the problems. I had to look at myself, and realize all the things I was doing wrong. I had done this, I didnt do that, ect.

Once I fixed these things is when I was succesful with women, and I was happier in life.

I thought girls were not supposed to see the "good qualities" and that jerks got all the dates. What's up with that?

I would be careful on advice in areas where you could improve. I was very successful with women when I was in high school but I kept being told that I was too much of this or not enough of that, so I decided to become a better person, incorporating alot of the advice that I got into my life. Becoming more respectful of women, etc. Guess what happened? It turned me so AFC that I could hardly get a date!

Well, I improved for the better. And it did get me more dates. A few of the things I fixed was, I was too clingy, I called way too much, I wanted to spend way too much time with them. I tried too hard making them happy. And I got walked all over, and usually ended up getting dumped for someone else. The usual stuff.

I had a bad attitude. If someone rejected me I was to hard on myself. I had a poor self image and poor self esteem. I tried too hard to please others. And it made me unhappy in the long run. I also compared myself to others way too much. Example. A friend of mine knows alot of really cool people. She's been to George Clooneys house. She knows or has met many famous people.It seems like everyone she knows is super rich, famous, or sucessful in some area of their life. When we first started hanging out this use to drive me crazy. I'm not rich or famous. So I had to learn how to live my life and not compare myself to others.

And trust me. When you know somone who knows movie actors who are super rich and famous. Your own life seems really boring. Its hard to look at your self in a positive lite. But I did. By not comparing myself to them.

Things like this is what has helped me. Do whats best for me. To be honest about my faults and find the positive areas in my life.
