Need advise on how women think...

[mpb47]

Given your age you're kind of ****ed. The only women that are single are batshit insane or four times divorced.

Well she was honest upfront about some mental issues but it was nothing to get worked up over. I have noticed these quirks in other girls with high iq's-the one I mention in the mom>son thread is same way. I can deal with that- what I can't deal with and one area I seem to go wrong is communication. If I say the sky is blue they honestly think I said it was red. A joke is taken as being serious or even worse as an insult.

Oh, and you sounded way too beta and available. Tell her to get ****ed if she's playing games like that. Don't be a little bitch to her. Be the man, not her shoulder to lean on.

Well in the beginning you were right as I was probably a bit over the top. It was the first time in a long time I was happy and it looked like things were turning around. Also had too many "almosts" and didn't want this one to get away. A friend told me early on that I may have blown it because of this, but if not, to tone it down, which I did.

I'm not saying you shouldn't try to find someone, just that you'll have your work cut out unless you compromise a lot. Good luck though.

Well I think you are right , but I think that is true no matter who you are. A women helped me fix my profile to condense it and make it more appealing. Afterwords she said it was much better and communicated who I was clearly. But then she added that because of who I am (geek), it was going to be harder to find a match. Harder, but not impossible. And I think she was right as the whole time I was trying to date this girl I had other women approach me- One liked my profile so much she asked if she could add me as a "favorite" . But the second I mention geek she vanishes and removes me as a favorite. Another one was , more recently, was much nicer about it. She showed initial interest then quickly said it wouldn't work. Told her I was trying to learn where I was going wrong and would she mind telling me what was wrong...and in so many words she nicely said it was the geek thing.

Oh and FWIW, hair has never been an issue for me. Relatively speaking I am still way ahead of the game ....as there is a large thread on this site about mpb and if it matters. Subjective observation I am sure, but one thing I noticed is there seems to be a crap load of bald guys around my age. And by that I mean bald to the point that there is no way to conceal it.
The common theme seems to be that meds do not work and there is no use trying to fight it-so they didn't . Even the women seem to think that as well..some even seemed turned off if you try to fight it.
And some said that hair was just a bonus if a guy still had it- like they automatically assume all the guys my age would have mpb.

I know I don't need hair at my age to get women- I want it for self esteem.
But I just figured that more guys would try to avoid/delay mpb but that does not seem to be the case..least on this site.
