I like women just fine.
They however, do not typically feel that way toward me.
This would be because: a.) I do not have a car,
b.) At the present time, I do not have a great job,
c.) I live with my parents.

What seems strange to me (funny as in odd, not funny as in haha) is that even when they themselves lack above mentioned components A-C, they will still exhibit the overwhelming tendency to judge you, the male, negatively for not possessing said status objects.

The first isn't completely impossible to remedy,
The second is more nebulous and the third seems outside the scope of the realm of possibility for the time being.
Do I resent womankind as a whole for it like some sort of neandertal-esque moron? NO!
Does it make my potential pool of dating prospects quite limited? :depressed: YES!
:slamhead:

:laughing:

Reasons why: > Damned interesting
> Getting hugged and kissed can feel amazing... although that was a long time ago (and let's be frank, who the hell knows when or if the next time I'll get to experience that again might be).
> The process of dating itself, the picking out of activities to do together in an attempt to get to know bits and pieces of one another in an attempt to determine a degree of further possible compatibility... :blahblah: this in itself can actually be a pretty enjoyable thing.  I say can be because there are a few limiting qualifiers that are rejoinders to this generality.  These are: a.) It's not as enjoyable when you are broke (since EVERYTHING, just about pretty much EVERYTHING you may want to take somebody with you to is going to cost money).  B.) Some people are so full of drama that they try to make going with you to a movie or to a restaurant to share a meal, to the cafe to talk over some drinks, etc. into a bad, high stress experience rather than a pleasant activity.  C.) Other people's parents can be highly prejudiced and give you shit for going out with their daughter based not on your treatment of her but other superficial crap that shouldn't really matter as much like... oh, your perceived socio-economic status (how much money they think you and your parents make), skin color, family's religion, and so on. 

This is all assuming you actually can find somebody who would be amenable to going out with you, which in of itself can also be mindnumbingly tricky, depressingly frustrating and an overall bleak endeavor.

Other possible complications can include the following: Your asshole father hits on your date (which no, she is not going to find charming thank you, but will definitely for sure come across as creepy), puts you down in front of her (thanks dad!), or makes you out to be some sort of unemployed, incompetent loser in order to scare her away.

On a less your own family hell based note, there is the matter of all the ridonkulous hell your date's family will put you through, for daring to assume you might possibly be good enough to be going out with him or her, without the parents having been the ones to have preselected you! Let me explain that a bit further: You can also be given all sorts of inappropriate grief about supposedly not being good enough to be with their little princess because you happen to have a disability (so glad to know that we are living in such enlightened times! :sarcasticclap:), how long you might be taking to obtain your degrees/certifications or why the hell haven't you managed to become the owner of your own company for fuck's sake and if so, why is it only a company of its given particular size instead of larger?
See, people's parents are kind of greedy icky curmudgeons who through generations of brainwashing have worked it into their piggy little reptilian hindbrains that who you go out with and may possibly in some fluke maybe decide to settle down with, this does not get to really have to do with what you find interesting in a man or woman thank you very much. No, that doesn't matter to them. What matters to these parasitical worms is how much of a free ride do they perceive being able to hitch off you and your family if you happen to go out with their special prince/princess... how much goodies are there to be ransacked, what status by association is to be gained, and most importantly, (the ever present) WHAT WILL THE NEIGHBORS THINK? :faint:

You'll figure something out, but perhaps you are over-analyzing a bit?
