If I had to describe myself (nobody is interested) I am quite honestly slim, intelligent, I have a good sense of humour and I look quite nice too.

It's important to be modest I think.

Anyway, I am 34, a single male.

Without sounding bitter or anything like that, I have always felt slightly cheated and confused as regards why many women are not dieing to love me.

Maybe they are but are too shy to do anything about it.

Do you also feel underrated, like you don't get the attention you deserve?!!

It's hard to say that without sounding like you have a chip on your shoulder, but I've always felt I'm above average, yet don't get the attention and love I deserve/need from the opposite sex.

If you feel the same please share your thoughts with me. Lastly, if there any nice female readers of this post, I will arrive in Anyang next month, and I kindly request you not to come and mob me at the airport. I prefer the subtle approach. Cool

I'll now end this very serious, important topic Shocked (oh dear...ahem ahem)

Are you coming across as desperate perhaps? This post screams desperation and people can smell desperation from miles away. Just don't be caring so much about finding someone and it will get easier for you, I think. Be happy on your own. That is something I have learned to do. Get yourself some hobbies, and I am not talking about getting wasted during all your free time either. Just go with the flow of life and maybe someday Ms. Right will show up, and if not, you will have a full, busy life. Being busy is best. Also, since you are a man, you have to learn how to approach a woman you see at a party or something. Don't be lazy and expect a girl to call you or approach you. I think in today's world, men are lazy about pursuing a girl, because they have been spoiled by women in the past who think it's OK to pursue guys and ask them out. You are the man, ask her out! Maybe some girls have been waiting on you to ask them out. I personally have learned not to fawn all over a man and blow up his ego. He can blow MY ego up if he wants a shot with me. When a woman blows up a man's ego too much, he will think OK, if I am so great, let me see if I can get someone even better out there.

For once I agree with princess. The number one most unattractive thing to a woman, worse than BO or scars over 90% of your body, is lack of confidence and desperation.

what about for men? seems many guys like demure and needy women. Guess its a finer balance aye? lady-like but not weak, assertive but not arrogant and pushy, intelligent but not a chatter-box etc......

I know how u feel! When I take my c0ck out in public, NOT ONE PERSON will put it in their mouth. They just look at me all disgusted and play hard to get. I'm tired of all these games!

Thanks for all of your replies. To be honest, in life many people look at how you appear and what you say.

I look fine but it's a good job I don't say much in real life. Because I know how predictable people are e.g. they will think you are sad.

I don't know why but it amuses me to portray a slightly-pathetic image in cyberspace because so many people in life and online are so lost up their own back passage they fail to appreciate how in some ways we are all a bit pathetic.

It's sad only a few people seem to possess the insight and humour to realize that. I like self-respect but not when it turns you into a judgmental twit.

I also dislike how in life you have to act in a certain way or say certain things to be considered happy, content, 'normal' and not desperate.

I think there's an unspoken rule in life which suggests you have to be impressive, upbeat and unrealistically enthusiastic about whatever is considered 'cool' at that particular time.

I think cyberspace gives you the opportunity to truly say what you think without the consequences you'd get in real life. I think that's why I love the internet so much, yes it gets boring like anything else, but I keep coming back to use it!

Lastly, ironically, people have always told me I appear to be confident Wink

Agreed! I'm also sat here wondering why at the age of 27 I am still single. I am putting it down to the fact that there is someone out there but we're not ready to be with each other yet:)
Or I haven't yet achieved all the things I have to whilst still being single?

Well whatever the reasons, I do hope it is worth my while.

It's good to hear from someone who agrees with me! Surprised

P.S. If you are female Carmy I apologize because I don't have a wedding ring with me (back to desperationville...oh dear)

I am indecisive, but as I age (beautifully of course, yet I manage to retain my heterosexuality with conviction) I feel more like I want to settle down.

I dream of romance but rarely take the necessary steps to achieve it.

Many (if not most) women wait for the guy to make the 1st move. They may think you're a hotty but never do anything b/c since you're not putting up the effort to make the 1st move, they're not goin' to either. Sad but true...
