I'm nice and reliable.
I'm also a high school dropout. That puts a lot of women off me. It contradicts the reliable part.
I have lived most of my life alone. So I'm not good with the subtleties of socializing. Many women don't know how to handle that.
I am poor as a church mouse. My lack of formal education and the problem listed below ensure I'll be that way for the rest of my life. I'm generous with what money I have, but that's so little many women regard me as cheap.
I also have been struggling for most of my life with mental illness, depression. Most women run the second I mention that. To many people any form of mental illness is stark,staring lunacy.
I've also found that single women near my own age are often carrying a lot of emotional baggage. They're always waiting for me to act like an ex. The second I do it's game over.
So no more for me for a while.
You don't know me but I have lurking about here for a long time so I feel like I know you (and a lot of other folks on AH). You probably don't want to be hearing this from a heterosexual male, but you have always impressed me with your wit, intelligence and sensitivity. So.... I have to agree with Perfect_deb on that perhaps wearing your shortcomings (as your perceive them) on your sleeve doesn't help your cause.....
But as this is about getting laid, I think, I could offer some suggestions....
For the last five years or so I have been working and living in Russia. Setting aside my own character flaws for the moment, the one thing I do not have a problem with is getting laid, despite being of "an age" (62). My problems center on falling in love with the 20 something year old Russian girls I am sleeping with. Sighhhh. but I guess as sexual problems go... this isn't a bad one.
So...... my advice? Get out into the world and go somewhere where just being a foreigner will make you interesting and where the language barrier will keep you from shooting yourself in the relationship foot... to mix up a few metaphors.... Your wit and caring nature will go a long way.
My problem is reminiscent of one of the many great lines from Apocalypse Now... Robert Duval (in the famous "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" scene) looking around at the smoking carnage and saying... "This is all going to end some day".... I know exactly how he feels.
But hell.... I guess I will always have lit to come back to for my sexual satisfaction...
