This really is hilarious, and helps me remember why I'm purposely single (most guys my age are too immature in my opinion). As a 23 y.o. averagely attractive woman, I have the following to add.
-Women care less about looks or status than you think they do. Honestly it's all about personality. Especially with women who are also high-achievers, they want a friend and partner and someone who sees them as an equal. NOT someone who treats them like they're helpless beings and insists on being the sole provider in terms of $$. Equality is now a thing. Embrace it. I don't mind paying for my own dinner, if the company is pleasant enough.
-The 10/10s tend to be arrogant and d***heads. Being a 5/10 is better in some circumstances, assuming you're a funny, kind, and a good conversationalist.
-Talk about what's important to you. Bonus points: your family, larger issues like poverty and even science research you do. You lose points if all you care about is scoring a hot girl, making a lot of money, and video games. Be the "nice guy."
-Nobody likes someone who's insecure. Wearing your white coat solely to get girls? Puh-leeze. That's like bragging about how rich your parents are. We (the non-golddigging ones)don't care. What kind of girls do you think you'll attract with that crap? Hint: Superficial ones. Therefore confirming your preconceived notions that all girls are superficial.
-Height--only important for tall women. I'm thin and short (<5"2) and couldn't care less whether my partner is 5"8 or 6"3 as long as he's a good person. The man only has to be taller than the woman (in my experience). So if you're 5"8 and going after women models that are 5"11, yes you'll have a problem in the height department. Just seek women shorter than you, and it'll be okay.
-Working out/six pack/eating healthy: Yes and no. Honestly I PREFER men who don't have a six pack, because the ones that do who I have known tend to be really vain and cocky about it. If you're so obsessed with your diet that you refuse to eat a slice of pizza with me, then that's a deal breaker. Being fit is good, but if it looks like you spend 5 hours a day of your life in the gym, then that's a no.
-BIGGEST ADVICE THAT'S VERY EASY TO FOLLOW: Don't dress like a slob, and take care of your hygiene. Ask your friends, sister, or girl cousins or even your mom. Having greasy hair and using cologne instead of showering is an instant rejection. This is why women (myself included) tend to be attracted to gay men, before realizing they're gay. Gay men tend to pay attention to their clothing, and don't wear that wrinkled shirt with mustard stains all over it. It's gross. You can jump from a 3/10 to a 6/10 by wearing clean, in-style clothing, shaving/grooming regularly, washing your face, and combing your hair.
-Put on your big-boy pants and have some effing confidence. You only have to be average to impress an average woman. There's not some mythical secret to it. Women that are confident also want a confident man, not a little boy they'll have to look after. And certainly not someone who they'll constantly have to validate.
Seemed to be a sausage fest up in here, so I wanted to add something as someone with a vagina. I thought my dating life would improve in medical school, but if this thread is accurately reflective of that population, then I guess I'm in trouble.
Peace out ✌️
