#3 I have a friend who is aprroaching 50 and is in the same boat. He asks the same question and we tell him:

1) quit having such high expectations. Start in the minors and work your way into the big leagues.
2) quit approaching ever relationship as the future mrs. Try just and actually have fun.
3) quit expecting every girl to like everything about you. in fact if you get a 2nd date I would call that a victory
4) grow up and stop acting like a loser. everyone loves an underdog but no one likes a loser

#9 It is a tough lesson to learn, but really, the info is out on the internet in droves and anyone that doesn't know how not to be Beta is blind or simply unwilling to make the changes required.

#10 This guy's beta-ness made me throw up in my mouth a little.

I knew a guy like this when I was younger. Great buy, good fishing buddy, liked to laugh, but when he was around women desperation wafted off him like pig stench. Fifteen seconds of conversation and you could see the wimmins move away.

We all tried to enlighten him. DOn't seem eager. Don't be too interested in outcomes. Women like mystery. Women like a guy who is a bit of a pr!ck. Etc. But he just wouldn't listen. Twenty years on and he still doesn't get it.
