33/M Ive never had a serious relationship despite wanting one. The only time I remember having girls attracted to me was when I was in high school and lost a good amount of weight. Looking back I know I missed out on some opportunities because of me being just socially clueless in general especially with women along with a mix of hormones and being shallow. For that time period I take full responsibility and dont blame women.
After high school I became extremely depressed (not related to women) and gained the weight I lost back and then some. Throughout college my experience with women ranged from polite rejection to outright being laughed at and made fun of, including a time when a girl basically catfished me for a joke.
I gave up, dropped out of college because of failing grades and started trying to figure out what I wanted to do in life. Fast forward to, 5 years ago or so and I found a steady, well paying job that has allowed me to purchase my own home and decent car. The problem with my job is that Im required to work 60 hours a week minimum, night shift and most of my friends are introverts like myself and not really keen on going to social events. So I figured online dating was my best bet.
I signed up on POF and okcupid in the hopes of getting a date. After about 6 months of messaging women who I thought I had something in common with and not getting any replies back I started messaging virtually every woman, I made it a mission to read profiles and just find something I liked or could ask a question about. I got a few replies but they never lead anywhere. Usaully they would respond with a greeting, I would message them back with a question or something to keep the conversation going but they never replied. After 2 years of trying I only got one girl who was willing to meet me. After 2 dates she said it didnt feel natural, which I understand because I had no attraction to her.
This frustration led me to watching red pill and mgtow type videos on youtube and reading the forums. Anytime a woman gets to know me through something like Im friends with their boyfriend or some other platonic way, the b/f will say how she thought I was really cool, interesting, nice and so on but when it comes to dating the vast majority of women wont even let me get past saying hello to show my personality.
So what should I do?
