Also, check out this "ask men" website. You could do with some serious confidence building. Maybe they can help you with that.

Acadia, I think it's great that you took the time for such a caring and detailed post, but as with my post (on the other thread) I spent about as much time and basically covered the same ground that you did.  When I received absolutely no response from the OP I knew I had wasted my time and effort. 

Because I know if I put myself in his place and asked for this kind of help from an online community, I would be very appreciative of the advice and comments given to me, and I would have AT LEAST said "Thank you, I'll give it a try" or "Thank you, that doesn't seem right for me".   But as I said before, the OP continues in his self-absorbed comments, repeating the same things over and over again as if he didn't even read any of the suggestions.

I think this person is greatly enjoying all the attention he is getting, but if he truly wanted to pursue his goals on meeting a woman he would have been more recipricative in his responses.

Bottom line, IMHO, there is no reason to spend any more time or energy in helping this person unless we get some sort of response to our suggestions and questions.  And the lack of responses to specific questions would leave me to believe either we're dealing with a troll or someone that is just wanting some attention and is not seriously interested in our responses.

Bears repeating!

I'm listening to what you guys say.

...but are you comprehending it?

There's a lot of good advice in here (better than what I came up with), yet no response from you on whether or not it's helping. IS any of it helping?

WTF?? No. Well, maybe bagginsbill... but he gets paid for his work, so not really.

I concur. Turn off the machine. Go do something. Anything. The more you're around people, the better your odds of actually talking to someone. It may take 5 minutes, 5 weeks, or 5 months.

Then participate!!!!!!!!!!

Sitting on the sidelines "listening" or on a forum it's called "lurking", isn't going to do you any good.

Instead of coming here and posting Off Topic questions and then sitting back doing nothing, start participating in discussions, especially if it's a thread that you started!

I'm sure you can see how it would come across to people that you are trolling if you just come here and post Off Topic  questions and then seem to vanish from the topic?  If you don't see, I'm telling you that it does.

Participating will get you used to interacting, at least in a text media,  with different people.

tebop, from the time I posted my first suggestion about placing a personal ad (in my opinion the easiest way to meet women with similar interests) you could have already placed the ad, been communicating with at least several women, and perhaps been on your first or second date by now.

Personal ads and reputable online dating sites are a no-brainer.  Submit your picture, tell a little about yourself, while at the same time respond to other ads that are of interest to you.  It is so easy once you are willing to put yourself out there.  If I could do it, anyone can.

Now I'm stuck with a wife and kids, so be careful what you wish for.  (just kidding)

Title: Do women like men with 3D talent.

I have been sitting back and reading all of the suggestions and have come to the conclusion that my way is the best and is accomplished by faithfully following the below steps.

The best way (which is 99.524 percent effective) into seducing your Vicky err girl is to follow these easy instructions:

First: Have several billion dollars in your savings account. The first billion is the hardest. However, every man can achieve this with time or wise investments in a mutual fund managed by your local friendly investment manager. The best is a little known fund called Monolith Mutual Funds (MMF for short) managed by I.M. Ponzi with has had established returns of over 50 percent for early investors.  Of course past performance is no indication of future performances and involuntary confinement is possible.

Second: Craigs’ List is a valuable source for the right person or persons for you. There are many extremely beautiful Vickies just waiting to meet and become your soul mate or mates. You may need to check out your local and friendly Private Business Interprise Network's (PBIN) list for customer satisfaction ratings.

Your local PBIN, in this case, may be sponsored by police avoidance syndicates. 

Third: The initial date, pick her or them up in your favorite Beamer, escort to the airport and fly via your favorite Gulfstream to one of your homes in the Caymans or Bahamas. She or they will probably not mind which. Additionally, a token monetary gift inversely proportional to ones hygiene level for each may go a long way in breaking the ice! Repeat process if necessary.

There are certain adverse conditions that may come up, but don't worry be happy and get regular checkups, most conditions can be easily cured or managed.

That is all that there is to it!  Jan

Acadia has a point. There's a huge difference between "Posing Grand Question: Discuss", and hey, guys, what's your opinion on this.... and then actually taking the time to acknowlege responses. After not showing up, people get the impression it's not all that important or interesting to the OP. You sorta/kinda want a date, but not enough to actually do something about it. And that's where people get the "troll" impression, because that's what trolls do.

I don't care how shy or insecure you are, no one is gonna kill you for participating in your own thread. As far as that goes, no one is gonna kill you for saying "Hi!" on the street, either. Not in most neighborhoods, anyway.

Some might say we write our own destinies: act like you expect rejection, that's what you get. Be open and friendly, and it eventually pays off.
