Is there hope for me?

What kind of shorts are you wearing? It really depends. I would have to say no to jean shorts, that's for sure. I find pants to be more attractive overall than shorts but there's no reason a guy can't go out in basketball shorts every now and then haha.

Haha, no I do not wear jean shorts. I'd describe my shorts as cargo shorts. I try not to have shorts that are too baggy, and I don't sag them excessively.

You look fine. Good bones, nice eyes, lean & intelligent looking. I suggest to attract the girls: Get a tan, some contact lenses, grow a bit of 5 oclock shadow and lose the hockey jersey when you go out.

My optometrist recommended against contacts when I mentioned my clumsy nature; if I did get contacts, there's a good chance I could frequently poke my eye.

The tan is a great idea, and I expect to get a nice one over the summer.

^^No you wouldn't poke your eye out. Inserting them takes practice and you would get used to it.

I don't think the tan is universally important. It certainly isn't to me, and it's awful for your skin. If you happen to get a little tan in the course of your normal life, that's fine, but please do not take up tanning beds or laying out like a silly girl in the meantime.

Agree with Vash. I like a tan only because it indicates that the guy does something besides sit inside playing video games. Go out and have some fun outdoors - it will give you some nice healthy color.

Do not change who you are just to get a girl, i would hate for you to do that, it would be totally wrong!!!!

But a bit of tweaking goes a long way. If you dont like the thought of contact lenses, how about a pair of black framed glasses in an oblong shape, i think they would really suit you. You dont need to go soikey with your hair, a messy style works well for most men, get a bit of hair product in your hands and mess your hair up. And get some jeans and a tshirt with a shirt over.

BUt still be yourself. Trust me, a woman likes someone who has intrests above and beyond the norm. Im 23 and planning to marry a 33 year old who is into the same kind of stuff you are, which is mostly opposite what i am into. But it works we can show each other new things. Its great.


Good luck, would love to see a pic of the new you.

Herein lies the problem, perhaps; I'm at the age where it's about GIRLS per se. I dread the thought of having to wait any longer because I really desire a relationship..but I guess maybe my best shot is to wait, grow up a bit, mature and be a certifiable man, then maybe end up finding a woman. But I am so utterly impatient..I've boiled down my frustrations with this to a little maxim; "Every day without a girl is another day of fail."
