You can go about this in a roundabout fashion. (A direct approach might not work too well.)

You can ask a woman whose opinion means something to you what qualities they find appealing in a man as well as what qualities do they find unappealing.

After having a generalized discussion about these points, the opportunity may come to shift the conversation to more specific details that relate to you personally.

Whatever they have to say, just keep the conversation light and then just thank them for their time.

Do you think a lot of women don't like you, or just certain ones? I'm curious if this is an across-the-board problem you're asking about.

(It is a cruel joke of nature that poor self-esteem feeds itself. If you think women don't like you, your attitude and body language will start to reflect that belief, which will turn some women away, thus further reducing your self-esteem! )

I guess I would say both. I am pretty confused though. I have not been with a woman for 6 years I dont know what to think anymore. I feel pretty awful. To make matters worse people at work call me a "fag" because of it but they are just joking. It still gets to me though but I just laugh it off.

Hi timeforsleep...

I really liked what trevozero suggested...If there is a woman(s) in your life that you can tust,,,ask them. Share with them that you are in a bit of a dry spell and lack some confidence,,,they might be able to suggest some good ideas...

But in the end you can't catch fish unless the bait is in the water,,,so get out there and try.

Please make yourself a wonderfull holiday.....

Lenny

I am also a firm believer that confidence shows in body languge etc. Ever notice that when your in a great relationship and content you will have 10x's more women flirting with you, yet when lonely, sad and single its more rare? As for seeking answers, I partially agree with others. Ask a woman who you know and trust, female friends are best. I would tackle it head on. I would ask things like, "what could I do to increase my appeal?" Or "Is there anything you see me doing wrong?" "any tips?"
Thanks for this!

From my experience, will like the image you project of yourself. Things like physical appearance are less important to them, of course. The trick is really to care less what they think of you. Just do things that you think would increase your self esteem. I don't know what that is, it's different for everybody. Not the quick fix, and it's just my opinion... and don't think I'm really successful in this area or anything but this is my best guess.
Thanks for this!

marry one, they will gladly fill you in for the rest of your life.

ok that was a joke. Just be you and dont worry too much about it. Self confidence in my experience is a turn on for many women.

I don't know. I never know until it's too late to do anything about it.

Self esteem and cofidence are the two most important things that women care about (in my personal experience). Otherwise, women would just say that they are not interested. Or..............
