I have been in Rockford for 9 months, previously at Platteville for 4 years. For the first 6 months I tried to get a girlfriend using dating apps and sites. I am 25, I could not get girls my own age, so I tried to go for older girls. By the time I was being rejected by senior citizen women that I was not attracted to at all, I deleted all dating apps and websites I was using. I do not have a record, but feel since I have never had a girlfriend or been on a date before that I still have to do the things a high school couple would do, the small stuff, to build up to a date, where's more experienced individuals can skip all that stuff and go straight to dating. Then because everyone has more experience then me, and women only look for older experienced guys, then that puts people like me with no options. After 6 months I signed up for the online masters program in engineering at Platteville. Mainly to distract me from my failures. Also since looks matters so much to so many women I have also lost 90 lbs in the past 9 months. I plan on continuing to lose weight until I am small and thin, then try to build some muscle. There are plenty of great guys out there, they just are probably not your type as most women secretly like the bad boys and don't know it. Most of the guys I went to school with graduated with their bachelor's degrees as virgins. My coworkers are single and can not get women either. Lots of guys have no idea in general how to get women.
