I say this as someone who has struggled with these questions for the past six months. I have read so many posts and comments from these men until this point that I can confidently say I understand how they think and feel. I have likewise fallen prey to the same despair they are feeling. So know that what I am about to say is backed by both personal experience and careful consideration of the stories of others.

I genuinely believe a lot of the men out there who are struggling to get someone interested in them should consider celibacy as a lifestyle. This applies even more if they believe they can't find a mate because of something they can't change easily. Fixating and obsessing over something you wish you could change but can't will only bring you sorrow and trouble. This is where the second part of my message comes in: you should focus on something else. Find something else to devote yourself to. Whether it be helping the poor, writing stories or cooking exquisite dishes, you ought to focus on something else because the energy you're using to obsess over your failures in dating could be spent on something more productive.

Mind over body, friends. Don't let your bodily urges control who you are.
