I am a good man, so why don't I have a girlfriend? Do I need to be a jerk instead?

Curiosity.... I see a lot of talking about "what works" to get the ladies to like you... I'm wondering how much practical experience with being in a serious relationship you have.
I'm a scientist, I like to know about the qualifications when discussing subjects.
For example I've been in a committed relationship for nearly 16 years.
The majority of my peers have been in committed relationships for several years and a few of them as long or longer than me. I've seen what works and what doesn't work from many perspectives.
Thus far I'm not seeing any of the "what works" reflected in the conversation... hence my curiosity.

Right, because that's exactly what we said, guys who get girls are "confident jerks" rather than "Confident jerks" tend to be guys who get girls. Nothing at all we've said has anything to do with the characteristics involved with the specifics.
False syllogisms are often a sign of denial.

But you know a sizable amount of females do reward and reinforce that sort of mentality.

When did we say anything about what works to get a serious relationship?
Do you care at all what works to get friends with benefits?

Where I live, women with good taste in men are a majority. If we're a minority where you live, I suggest you stay there.

Neurosis? Why do you think so?

In other words, your "Scientific" analysis doesn't involve the idea that maybe we CAN get relationships but due to experience with how much of a burden they can be, we don't want to?

Every woman has her own idea of "good taste" I suppose. That's what half this argument is about. But I take it that you're agreeing that perhaps the blame is on the women who feed our perceptions rather than the men who act on them?
Maybe I've been in California too long. (And New York. And Michigan. And Florida.)

Of course you mean it in an offensive way, your making assumptions and are belittling me because you think you know better than me based on some arbitrary number you see. I'm talking about in general. I've seen older relationships be the same way. You have no basis for your statements other than your bias and pre-conceived notions about me based on age.
Maybe you should mind your own business and not make assumptions about my life, I feel like I am about to explode because of your wording. You know nothing about me.

What do serious relationships have to do with what we are talking about? :sarcastic
We are talking about getting into relationships. Not about how to make them last.

No... if you just want sex, a few bills of the right denomination will do that. :sarcastic
Any shlub with the right resources can get laid. The OP was about getting a woman to want to date you on a serious basis.

I find it interesting that if we convey personal experiences on what we've dealt with by and large for the most part, there's something wrong with us because of the actions by those who give us our perceptions. Maybe...just maybe, the fault is not the man's for perceiving patterns and making use of those patterns?

I don't think there are any confident jerks online right now on religiousforums.com, so i suspect it is.

Like I said, are you including the possibility that we CAN get relationships if we wanted? I'd be in a relationship right now if I wanted to. Maybe I COULD get one or are you assuming I can't because my attitude clashes with what you like or dislike? And actually, I turn down sex because of my religion. From more than one model to say the least. My idea of action doesn't involve the full shebang.
