Then you just have to spot the skanks out of them. Seems doable.

For example, panda is just the right half of smoth's brain. he developed Dissociative identity disorder following his Corpus callosotomy. His ID goes to great pains to repress this fact, even to the point of photoshopping false vacation pictures for him to post and establishing VPN tunnels to mask her online activity... so I am certain he will deny this fact.

keggers really are an awful place to meet ladies; sure, drunkenness is helpful but bottom line, if you hook up with a girl or even get her number, it was still in the midst of a drunken haze; your/her opinion on the matter might change once you've sobered up

dating sites are fairly bust; there's like a 1% chance of actually communicating with a girl who isn't a skank or has some other strange problem. out of lurking those for basically all of college, i can honestly say that any of the legit girls i met i became friends with, while having my mind mucked with a little bit or merely wasting time with the rest. so yeah; it can work, but its a bit of a waste of time

assuming you aren't missing something key here (stinking of boiled onions, dirty shoes, rapper voice) then you don't really have much to worry about in terms of "am i good enough to get a GF" because there will always be many people in a worse position than you

so then i guess i'd break it down a bit...

- it IS strange to just wander up to a girl and start hitting on her. the best thing to do is wait for an opening (even to say thank-you for holding a door or something like that) or just to be social with everyone, not just the girls... that way, when you DO chat up a girl and she goes to ask her friends about you, they might have a good impression.
- don't worry too much about "why is this not working". it seems to be a rule of the universe that the less you try for something like this that the more likely it will be to happen. don't try too hard or over-analyze.
- if you fail, lose her number, erase her from your brain. not everything is meant to be, and if you dwell on past failures, you'll never move ahead.

how fast to move? however fast you like really. if you get a girls number, don't call her for a few days. after a first date, don't call for a few days. theres a fine line between desperation and disinterest that you must wobble along, and the best thing to do is just try and read the situation

what do you feel are your weaknesses in this matter? surely there must be some concerns, even small ones, if you're worried enough to come on here and ask...

How would you feel if someone reduced all that you are to say 4/10?
"Oh just another 4/10, dumped guy like that last year. They are all going to gym because blah blah .."

I wish I met WOW player girl lol :) That would make my time spent coding games for free for hateful community look good lol :)
