If women accepted more dates from people who they throw under the "just friends" category, they are more likely to find a true partner

The same evening, 5 minutes later right after meeting my friend, I get a date with a girl I just met in the streets.

Is it always like this?

Do women prefer to date guys they meet at unusual places but appear to have a problem with dating men who have common ground with them?

The Cinderella-Prince Charming Illusion Syndrome. Young girls are indoctrinated at a young age by film companies such as Disney to believe that, just like Cinderella's prince, the man of their dreams must be hard to find.

What's really going on if you get friend-zoned: she, an individual person, likes you, also an individual person, but is just not that into you.

"Just not that into you"? Boy, that was a long post just to admit you don't know either.

I maintain that the guy's confidence and how well he conveys it is what the woman uses to decide--whether she realizes it explicitly or not.

but I think it's just one of several she may or may not consider.

I would like to propose a theory based upon my observations, The Cinderella-Prince Charming Illusion Syndrome. Young girls are indoctrinated at a young age by film companies such as Disney to believe that, just like Cinderella's prince, the man of their dreams must be hard to find. Therefore they are more likely to filter out great men who appear in their lives on a regular basis whom they feel good with, and put them in a imaginary zone called "just friends". While men of similar caliber met at unusual/least expected/forbidden places are thrown under the category of "Potential Prince Charming", simply due to the fact that these men are not regularly met on a scheduled basis.

Both groups of men are most likely similar in their potential as a mate, but the ones who are perceived as scarce will get first pick. It is the effect of perceived scarcity, a perception created by the media stating that good men are not to be expected. Good men are not rare, or even difficult to find. They do not live in magical unattainable fairy land.

I was taking things slowly, getting to know her, talking, and sharing personal stories.

Therefore the films are more of a symptom of an underlying cause in general social change? Leading to simple reinforcement of the "problem"? That the little girls were going to be taught that no matter if they saw the films or not?

Sorry, I'm both 1) not at all responsible for your situation or bitterness, and 2) not going to date people with whom I feel no chemistry just so they can feel better about themselves.

REAL MEN most likely live right next to you.(I see this complaint a lot, "Where are the REAL MEN"?)
