False.

Everybody who's bothered to get to know me apparently really likes me. 
And yet, girls ignore me.

Marcus, on the other hand, is an arsehole. And girls really like him.

  Some studies show that that might have something to do with pheromones.

Well, apparently not, as several commented on your calendars and casual 
Friday approach at work.

For every one he goes out with, there's probably a dozen who are thinking 
"what a tosser".

Guess it's perfectly acceptable to be an arsehole if you got a car and 
plenty of greenies.

Thanks, That surely can boost people's confidence! ;)

But yes, yes they are. Just not those women I am attracted to. The hard
thing in finding attraction is finding a 2-way attraction.

  My guess that men who attract the ladies also tend to be hostile to
potential rivals, which is why they end up looking like a**holes to those
rivals in question. The ladies themselves probably see a rather different
side of the guy.

Or rather, they look like a**holes to those rivals who are unable to attract
women, precisely because of their success (ie jealousy). Or, men who are
successful with ladies get a self-esteem boost that makes them look like
a**holes. Or, it's actually the machismo that attracts ladies (if a woman
tells you that you are sweet and sensitive, for instance, she doesn't see
you as a man, which may be ok after you are married, but not before). Or
it's a combination of all of the above (and below).

He's confident and aggressive, whereas you're shy and self-deprecating.

You need a wingman.  Hell, if I can't seem to have any luck with the 
ladies, I'll call up a certain girl I know and ask her to go drinking 
with me.  She flirts with the ladies even more than I do, and somehow it 
seems to rub off on me and I end up with a couple of numbers... ;)

You know, I'd love to get the chance to go pub crawling with you.  I bet 
you'd be a lot of fun to hang out with IRL :)

That's great :)

Not quite like that, though.  I honestly think it's just her confidence 
that rubs off on me, and that seems to do the trick.

Oh, sure. Women who are married with children sometimes *talk* to me. 
Women twice my age say I'm a nice guy. But cute, sexy, *single* girls 
who I could actually go out with? They ignore me.

That seems to be what it comes down to. Girls only go for confident 
guys. And since I'm never going to be confident... well, it's basically 
a death sentence.

Part of it's picking the right pub, part is picking the right time. 
Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing in advance if anyone will be 
there or not.

I've never been drunk in my life - but if I was, I suspect I'd be one of 
those guys who gets all weepy and miserable.

I would suggest that part is finding somebody who knows the area, or at 
least knows what they're looking for...

Come to Oktoberfest here in Munich, plenty of hot single girls from all over 
the place and very easy to get hooked up with groups of people because of 
the proximity and beer :-D  I guarantee after 30 mins or so you will know 
everyone else on your table, and probably the tables around you.  Plan a 
trip with a few of your friends if you don't feel like going alone.  And 
don't give me any crap about not liking beer, get some German beer from the 
supermarket (it's better tasting anyway) and practise, it will be worth it.

Actually... no.

Before I clicked this, I was expecting to get a page of hot babes who 
have blatently been planted there for photographic purposes. But what I 
actually saw... did not impress me greatly.

  How come shy and self-deprecating people haven't removed themselves from

Maybe it's not entirely genetic.

It's also possibly that having two K genes makes you aggressive, and 
having two J genes makes you aggressive, but having one of each makes 
you shy. In that case, the trait will never die out.

Genetics is weird...

If you've seen our "cathedral", you'll understand why people argue about

At any rate, my point is that I live in a large urban area. It's not 
exactly "too small a town".

As Stephen said, you live in too small a town.  When I got married, I was 
shy and didn't even do the things you do.  Hell, I used to go down to a 
radio station and stand in the broadcast booth with a microphone and I 
wouldn't speak - I was known as "Jim the Mime".  Seriously.  That's how 
shy I was when I met my wife.

It's a relative measure. The bottom 10%, no matter how self-confident, will
