Hola. Still single or going to events with no luck?
----No shame in it. Wanting someone is human nature; men and women weren't put on Earth to sit in cubicles all day. The problems come when people get involved for the wrong reasons like status, desperation, just sex, or money.
----Checking out the right places? Most people don't go to clubs and parties to find a significant other, so check out more simple laid back places. And if your friends don't like your guy/girl, who cares? You're dating him/her, not them.
----Be realistic. Relationships won't be easy or fun all the time. Plus, we all have issues and make mistakes (especially those World Cup refs). Every guy knows the cardinal rule to getting women is "tell her what she wants to hear"...he may seem all fun at first but that does change lol.
----Human Nature. Society is pushing too far away from our nature, and it's ruining gender relations. There's a reason more "traditional" nations have lower divorce and happier relationships, whereas nations like ours have high divorce and unhappier relationships. Men used to be MEN, and they liked WOMEN. Women used to be WOMEN, and they liked MEN. Families came first. Men and women completed each other instead of competed. It all worked great until Feminism came and ruined it all; being a mom is a lot more empowering than being a corporate slave helping someone else get richer until you get laid off; life used to be about fun and family until people became too blinded by work, luxuries, money and competing.
----Masculinity. Criticizing men for being stubborn, dirty minded or egotistical at times is like criticizing a dog for barking. It's our nature, accept and laugh at it.
----No games. "Hard to get" is popular but its the worst thing you can do (there's a difference between Courting and Chasing). Only desperate men chase; real men don't have time for games, especially since there's a billion other girls out there. Men should be strong minded; don't confuse being whiny and serious for being "strong minded".
----Sex. Sexuality is the most human nature thing alive, without it men and women wouldn't look at each other so it's nothing to be closed minded about. People will drink, smoke, fight, road rage...but sex is the bad one? Don't you think it's more fun to find a partner in life, and be wild and crazy with them for life, than find temporary friends over and over?
-----Finally, forget the media; there's a reason most celebrities and hot couples don't last in their relationships (the media's job is to dumb, divide, distract, deceive people and put people in fear). Of course attraction is important but the more you get to know someone the more attractive they become. Life is about Quality, not Quantity.
