What an astonishing whiner den Beste is. No wonder he only gets attention from women when he pays professionals.

(For people who haven't read the article, he says this himself. Thanks for the link, Jonquil.)

A brief anecdote: when I was about to be a freshman in college, my grandmother told me I should try to get a girlfriend as soon as possible. "Then you'll have someone to do your laundry for you."

I was horrified. For the next nine years, I could not bring myself to allow anyone else to touch my laundry. Even when doing laundry together with my fiancee, now wife, I had to keep all my clothes separate from hers, and do it myself, albeit on the same trip to the laundromat.

Some free advice to anyone who is of a similar mindset to den Beste: for the set of potential partners who might be interested in you, there is almost nothing you can do which is more discouraging than being desperate. If a woman takes offense at you opening a door for her, you are trying too hard (and she is not interested in you; if she were interested, she would have found a way to convey that.)

Yep. He's also 10 years older than he was "back when things were good." Not surprising that the women he works with aren't sending out the sexual signals to him, eh? Maybe if he'd find some women his own age, brush his teeth, that sort of thing....

Up to date glasses and trimming one's beard once in a while will do wonders.

Hygiene = HOTT
