I'm puzzled by the random little things about women
Hey Al, I'm not a black athlete, and neither have I ever had any great status. Yet despite these apparent disabilities and I never had any problem with women being interested in me.
How can this be?
Either you play the game maybe without fully realizing it or, frankly, no disrespect to anyone here, but the women yall are getting aren't top notch. Sorry.
I mean I can get an average chick... but I don't want an average chick.

You are not going to get Miss World. Get over it. There is much to be said for Miss Average. Get realistic.

I thought you are never supposed to settle? I thought you're supposed to always do the best you can ever do and swing for the fences?

Nah. Settle for that which is realistic. I note that you have largely ignored the most useful comments in this thread. (eg Jaguar's posts and the DaShi comment at #181) You appear to have some preconceived, and highly unfavourable, preconceptions about the fairer sex. You are doing little more than argue the point about your preconceptions in a very stubborn way. Less talk and more listening would do you a world of good.
Bear in mind that I am NOT one of those who troll you and I have never made the slightest attempt to insult you.
Having said that, I am sure you will carry on with pointless arguments and learn absolutely nothing from this thread.
Once again, with the apologies for the bluntness of this post.
Those are largely individual pursuits. Exercise is excellent for making you more physically attractive, but it's probably not a problem for you. Writing rap songs is interesting; playing videogames is generally not. Consider adding some group activities.
This might seem irrelevant, but you become a more interesting, attractive person if you have more things going on in your life.
The reason I suggest social activities, specifically, is that they'll expand your circle and let you meet some new girls, which is also helpful. It's easier to draw romantic interest if you're starting fresh.
What kind of social activities? How do you go about doing these things? I'm out of college so keep that in mind.

So despite all your talk about being all 26 and grown up, all your examples revolve around one abusive prostitue and the college social scene. You say you "won't settle" yet the only woman that you ever seriously approached having a sexual relationship with was, while no doubt beautiful, an actual, literal whore.
You write rap songs, but (apparently) don't perform them in public, nor do you publish them on the Interwebs. Your only other consistent activity is video games. And you wonder why you can't meet women. You talk about swinging for the fences when it appears you're not even in the stadium.
Think about that, Mr. Magna *** Laude.

I'll give an example, braindead. Here's one woman who likes me right now. She's a female rapper/singer. She's pretty cute but certain things concern me like how she doesn't have a 4-year degree and she's malingering about completing her associate's degree though she's 21. Intellectually, she doesn't seem as advanced as women that I usually target. There are other things that are of concern to me that put her down a few pegs. I guess I could try her but I don't want to waste my time if I already know she's probably not future wife material.

I perform, Jrabbit. I performed at Temple University at an event that featured Nikki Giovanni. My main hookup on the spoken word scene at Temple (the girl who only likes Black athletes) kind of bull****ted me everytime her poetry collective had an event. I also have recorded songs and put them on youtube but they're not studio-quality yet. I'm trying to build a large enough repertoire and further develop my delivery before I start spending money in the studio. But the way I've been writing the past few months while unemployed, I have a pretty significant body of work piling up. I got connects and a friend who even was featured on MTV's "It's On with Alexa Chung" and am in the planning stages for collaborations and music videos. Things are coming along in that regard.
But you're right overall though. I lead a boring life that's perpetually on the cusp of great things. I'm a preparer, I guess, but between my music and the Marines and whatever else, it will come to a cusp soon enough.

I don't want to get laid. I'm fine being a virgin til marriage.

Try her out (and bonk her). She does not have to be Einstein. She does not have to have a four year degree.

You're a ****ing strikeout king and you'll forever be alone. this actually pleases me because you're getting what you want.

You're never going to get married. You're an insufferable dick.

Dude why the hostility? I've had my heart broken repeatedly since I was 14. My first girlfriend was sucking some dude's dick 20 minutes before she gave me my first kiss. My second was an angel but she dumped me. My third was the evil evil ****ing whore prostitute. And I've been toyed with and rejected dozens and dozens and dozens of times. Why are you calling me a dick for calling it like I see it. Most women really aint ****.
