Found your photo on your Twitter profile. You're a decent looking guy! I have no advice to give, as I'm currently single too. I'm an overweight fellow in San Francisco but have had modest success in meeting women in the last few years. Haven't met anyone that threw a spark though. I mainly use okcupid when looking around.

Point is mainly about confidence I think. When I'm exuding confidence (feeling like a million bucks) I notice women in the street actually smile at me sometimes. When I'm down on myself (more often) that never happens.

Good luck to you.



Thanks, that's kind! I am overweight right now too, that photo was when I was lighter (recently) - I lost loads, then gained again partly due to anti-depressants, partly due to feeling there was no point in keeping it off.

I think confidence is a big part, but height is huge. And I don't think I could exude the kind of cockiness that might lead to success, as I am naturally a skeptical person, and a depressive as well which makes that hard anyway.


My advice is to just be the absolute maximum you. No one else in the universe has your unique blend of qualities. Be confident being who you are, because your good at that, aren't you?
