Ladies, let me clear a few things up.

That is definitely what she would say if there was an actual "she" of whom to speak.

[Davricle]

It's too long

You don't count as a girl, sir!

[tyven]

its probably common sense, way too long to bother reading but i can guarantee you there i nothing insightful or life altering in all that shit

[tyven]

although one time miz posted a bunch of long winded common sense and everyone sucked his nuts over it. so maybe i give people on a video game forum too much credit and they are all idiots with no concept of how to live a socially productive life

[Conrad]

No it is mostly common sense, but I can't fault him for writing so much just to assist me. Gotta give credit where credit's due

I'm gonna throw a curveball here: Skirk, find a good dating site for your area.

Let's look at the situation:
-You're not the type who's gonna be real comfortable talking up/dancing with girls in your average bar or club
-None of your friends are either; you have no wingman who can introduce or help you along with girls in that setting
-You're probably not gonna be all that interested in girls you'd meet at most bars/clubs (other than wanting to fuck them)

You're not in great shape, but on the plus side you aren't hideous. A decent face is a good starting point and I think generally does more for you than having a decent body, tbh. Davricle is right about girls also not going for assholes; you might have luck with girls a few years older than you who are tired of the assholes and want a nice guy.

So try a dating site; you can get a feel for the girl and jump right into a very casual date without any of the hassle trolling at the bars and trying not to fuck up the bizarre mating rituals that take place within. And if you can start going out to bars with a non-awkward friend or start meeting friends-of-friends, do that too, but basically what I'm saying is keep the horizons broad.

Fuck that dating site shit, take your balls out of your purse and find a real woman

[tyven]

beckwin's advice is thoughtful but i would imagine 95% of the guys are gonna be just like skirkle

[Milkster]

Craigslist works I hear

[thebearofscience]

You think I'm was joking, but I was being fucking serious. You don't want to meet someone on the fucking internet

[thebearofscience]

btw: I didn't read any of this shit. I'm just assuming from the last post before I began posting.

dating sites work for hook-ups as well nowadays. and he's not there to find guys like him, he's there to find girls in his area.

[tyven]

im not saying he's there to find guys like him, im saying theres gonna be nothing to set him apart. its gonna be 5 thousand dudes that are all the same going after the same chicks. i mean its a good idea, i just think that could be a set back. i dont have a lot of experience with dating sites, i didnt know they were used for hook ups these days

[Shiroikage]

There's nothing wrong with dating sites.
These days they tend to be for people who are too busy with careers or something to actually get out there.

[Beckwin]

well, that's why I'm saying he needs to find a good one. and it's only a setback if he ignores the other options. to clarify, I'm not saying your's and dav's advice is bad at all for if he does decide to get himself out there; I'm just saying he needs plan B too.

[Vajra]

you must be white

[archibaldcrane]

Honestly, 75% of the girls I date are from an internet dating site. Hard to date as often as I like if I just rely on real-life meetings.

^ As long as people are smart and verify that their contacts are not fake stalkers pretending with some one else's pictures it is perfectly reliable and often breaks some communication barriers that take longer or may not occur in real life. If the couple can maintain the same fluent communication once meeting in person, online born relationships can be perfectly healthy.
