Not only would I date, but my ex wife is a person who most folks
consider to be "an averag" girl. She also is considered to be plus
sized. So To me it's not about looks but personality. I have just been
told that I should "aim higher" because when I ask out women who are
considered to be average, I am settling.

In all honesty, I am a realist. I'm old, I have little hair left, and I
ain't the most attractive guy on the block. I know my short-comings,
that's why I don't go after the "hotties". Right now, I'm wondering if
I will ever date again.

I COMPLETELY AGREE... CHIN UP DUDE....EVERYONE IS NOT SHALLOW MINDED
JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE HOT...ALOT OF WOMEN..YES...BUT DONT EVER GIVE UP
OR GET DISCOURAGED

WHOOPS, WHAT I MEANT BY THAT WAS I AGREED THAT YOU MAY NEVER DATE AGAIN
IF YOU DONT SNAP OUTTA THE FEELING BAD STAGE YOU ARE IN...EXAMPLE... I
HAVE NO HAIR... I COULD LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SAY WOW..PUFFY EYES,
CROOKED TOOTH,WRINKLES COMIN AROUND...BUT INSTEAD I SAY WOW I LOOK
PRETTY TODAY, OR I SPEND EXTRA TIME ON HAIR,MAKEUP ETC... JUST LOOK AT
YOURSELF AND SEE THE GOOD THINGS POP OUT AT CHA, EVERYONE IS ATTRACTIVE
IF THEY FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES.... TRY IT
