Did you ever have a lot of friends?

My advice as someone whose been perpetually single for all of my 25 years and never been in love. Just don't expect it.
When you expect anything you open yourself up to disappointment. So just keep doin' what you're doin' (hell if you're in uni you've got more going for you than I ever did) and keep your heart open.

But just don't expect it and DO NOT FORCE IT.

Love is like a fart, if you have to force it, it's probably sh|t.

Good luck buddy.

I don't think I should join groups or volunteer places to meet people and make friends. People either like me or they don't. When I'm at the gym or some public place, women don't even dare to look at me and this is one of the most insulting things to me.

Well there in lies your answer YOU start by deciding if someone else
likes you .... Have they told you so? or are YOU mindreading
Women may avoid eye contact with you, because you may be giving out
creepy vibes!!

I really don't understand. I try to act friendly, I put up a friendly face everywhere I go. I am polite. I am kind. I'm fairly certain that I'm one of the best looking guys at my gym too, I also doubt any guy there wears $250 dollar shoes.

LIFE is living it, not "trying to ACT friendly"
Beauty is subjective, and therefor Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
and there's nothing more ugly than a self obsessed, 'plastic' excuse
for a man .... Lol!! Have watched them preening and posing all over
the place!!

It is what it is though. The more I think about it, the more I think people should be the ones complimenting me instead of me having to scrap the bottom of the barrel for friends.

When my pretty daughters were growing up (pretty by other peoples
views) they got many advantages due to their looks, and I was
forever pointing out to them - that their looks would open doors
for them but if they didn't develop a personality they wouldn't get
any where in life.
My granddaughter is beautiful, is constantly being told so even by
strangers, but without her lovely open personality, friendliness and
empathy she would just be beautiful and empty full stop.!

Richard Burton famously once said of Elizabeth Taylor that her beauty
was'breath taking' .... but after you got used to it there was nothing
more

When I first meet someone I don't do a shopping list on them, it is
immaterial what they spend on shoes, clothes etc. WHO GIVES A DAM.
As long as they are clean and tidy, smile, are friendly and considerate
I would hold them in higher esteem than those who spend to impress.

You will never have any real friends with your attitude, Everyone
(even the ugly) has something to offer you just need to look deeper
Look for it and then YOU may become happier.........

Liar.

My attitude is most definitely not my problem.
