I am a straight guy in my mid-twenties and I love reading your column! My problem is that I can't seem to attract/keep women. At bars I am lucky to get past, "Hi I'm so and so!", or, "Hey, do you want to dance?"And I can actually dance—isn't that supposed to be a plus?
And when I do actually get a date it RARELY gets past the first date—and I can cook, isn't that a plus too?—and the longest girlfriend I ever had was for just a few months and she was about as personable as a dead mime. So now I find myself a twenty-something virgin living in a town where the guys outnumber the gals four-to-one on a good night and I can barely get a girl to look at me! I'm on the short side but as far as body goes you can judge yourself from the picture. I've been told I'm quite cute and I get along with people easily. So if I may be so bold as to take a drought from the immaculate fountain of wisdom known as Dan Savage... WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING WRONG?
Still Un-Controllably Keeping It Not Good
My response—and SUCKING's response to my response, and mine to his, and his to mine to his, etc., and the picture—after the jump.
