Look at it from a reversed perspective. I've fucked around with girls that were normally being begged for attention but that did not mean I wanted a relationship with them. They just weren't interesting or they did not have the right characteristics to be a girlfriend.
Chances are you're attractive but you don't have the qualities that they're looking for in a boyfriend.

Well what are some "boyfriend qualities" that I could maybe develop?
[–]transintraining 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Be able to enjoy simple conversation and show you're more than just a pretty boy. Be honest and open about what you do and confident that you do these things. If you don't find common ground to build emotional connections with people you will be nothing to them but a pretty, hollow person.
People bond over anything, silly or not. Be it running as a hobby, anime shows, forensic sciences.... anything. You have to be passionate about things able to talk about them.
If you're having a conversation with a really hot girl but she answers questions like "What do you do for fun?" with "I dunno... stuff" you're going to get bored out of your mind doing anything with her that doesn't involve sex or using her as arm candy right?
I play dungeon's and dragons. The infamously nerdy tabletop game you play with pen, papers, dice and imagination. I've talked to a girl that looked like high quality porn star about why it was fun and why I enjoyed it. It wasn't as cool as other shit like being a fighter jet pilot but if you're too afraid to talk about what your passions are even that will sound boring. "Uh, well I sit in a jet and push a lot of buttons. Last training flight my aileron switch was faulty so the whole session was grounded and I was bummed"
As far as specific qualities go, it depends entirely on the person you're talking to. The key factor is being fun, interesting, and passionate about your life.

Be a provider
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
dude, millions of people are able to have dynamic, positive and fun relationships with girls without having to fit into this provider role that I've seen guys on here fetishizing over the injustice of it all
[–]qiang_shi -2 points-1 points0 points 11 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Haha, cool story. Don't get butthurt guy.
He asked for "boyfriend" qualities not "fuck buddy" qualities.
If the fact of it offends you then I suggest you stock up on tissues.
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
the narrative that you follow is patently false. the fact that you acquaint being a "provider" with "boyfriend qualities" is a testament to you disconnect from reality, from your fetishization of girls in high school that you could never get. of course you can be a boyfriend without being some cloying, obsequious "provider".

Someone's projecting.

nah son

Not to be offensive, but are you boring? Are you good in bed? Are you not too bright, but good to look at? Do you have interesting in depth conversations with them? Why haven't you asked them in a "hey I'm trying to improve myself, can you be brutally honest with me and let me know why women might not want a long term relationship with me"
You need your own hobbies and interests. Pick something you want to become an expert in.
[–]DATKILLAxo 3 points4 points5 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
No offense taken, I guess you could say I'm a little boring. I'm quite a reserved person and I never really open up to women mainly based on the fact that it's never really benefitted for me in the past. I'm not a story teller what-so-ever and when I'm alone with women I'm perfectly content with sitting in silence. Sounds like that could be my problem.

Learn to be more open and emotionally honest now, don't wait until 25
[–]derphurr 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Its hard to be vulnerable and honest and share all your thoughts and feelings with someone. Maybe role models weren't like that. And you can also be a strong silent type, but you have to bring something to the table. Either get amazing at sex, or work on being fun or funny or sincere or passionate. Learn how to make other people feel good about themselves and be comfortable being themselves for all ugly, flawed, human, farting, normal people they are. Go on adventure with girls as much for your sake as their.. Teach them something you know about, let them show you something they enjoy.
Or just keep on going until you find someone that for with you. Maybe it is another girl that is somewhat boring and likes to do same things as you.
Life is meant to be lived, maybe you are being too safe and dating to you is a familiar routine of first date type experiences and sex. Maybe you never open up or learn anything about yourself or the partner.
Your next attempts, maybe do stuff like things you would be scared to try, like kareoke or whatever. Then at the very least if they don't call again after a few dates, you will have learned something about yourself.

Couple problems:
I definitely have this problem. Many girls I lose after a few hookups, but I also have many girls I turn away because I don't want a serious relationship with them. What I've realized is that the girls that are really into me and want a relationship I've been more effective about the points above.
Hope that helps!

This is a blessing for you. It will make you re evaluate yourself in a deeper sense.
[–]DaygameCoach 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
So, you are looking for a serious relationship. You need to communicate and/or sub-communicate that while screening girls to make sure they are looking for the same thing. I wrote an article about this here: http://www.daygamer.net/2012/07/06/how-to-get-the-right-girlguy-communication-skills-101/

Sounds like you're out come-dependent.
All I can say is that chicks are most likely be feeling your needy aura.
Do other shit, be awesome, lift, ride, box, surf... Whatever, but do not make girls your destiny... They're just walking vaginas without much else.
[–]SomethingRelevant93 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
They're just walking vaginas without much else.
/r/theredpill is that way -------->
That's so very far from being true.
[–]qiang_shi -2 points-1 points0 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yeah, you're right. That's why you're always hitting on guys right?
[–]SomethingRelevant93 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm actually gay, how did you know?
[–]dinersaur 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Girls have made my life more fulfilling than anything else... not because they have a vagina but because of the mental stimulation, the emotional connection, and the support then can offer.
head on over to r/theredpill and go be with the rest of the neanderthals.
[–]qiang_shi -1 points0 points1 point 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Those are not things that make females unique from males.
Try again without all the emotion and crying.
[–]dinersaur 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sorry but unless you're gay no guy is going to be giving you the type of support and connection a romantic partner will give.
You must be gay seeing how little you think women have to offer...
