I'm sure you won't struggle for someone to second your application.
Or the itv programme "Take me out". The girls on there are about the same age as CC."If you would like the chance to meet your match and are interested in taking part get in touch with us on 020 7290 0223. Alternatively you can email us at undateables@betty.co.uk"

I think it was Einstein who said madness was doing the same thing and expecting a different result. As a man of science, i'm suprised that Matt can't quite see that.
Because he wears glasses? Were you at Le Mans last year? We saw a hilarious "fight" between two English blokes, one of whom used that line to the other bespectacled one. It was cringeworthy and very very funny. If it was you, thanks for the laugh

Actually Matt, it is quite a good idea! Proves you can laugh at yourself, don't take yourself too seriously etc
Listen to Super SloMo on p41 too
I dont get why everyone says I can't follow advice. I've changed my tinder profile numerous times based on feedback from here. To those asking why my pictures are rubbish, I'm hamstrung by the fact that the vast majority of pictures on facebook, especially those of me out clubbing with friends, are from when I had the long hair you all so derided.
Ali... I dont think I'm quite ready for the humiliation of appearing on a TV dating show just yet.....

You keep saying that, yet taking a better photo would take less time than it took you to type this post about not having any photos.LeoZwalf said:
Sorry, blimey! No need for that. I've re-read what I wrote and can't see anything in there which was insulting to you, so unsure why you feel the need to react like that. Oh well, good luck with finding a girlfriend.
How can you have been on PH for 119 months and not seen the Ambwilans thread?ali_kat said:
What's the worst that can happen?
No, seriously!
You'd not be humiliated anymore than any other participant, and they are winning the hearts of the country! So no much humiliation really there just in your head. One has even just got married to the girl they paired him with
Yes, but me going on TV admitting I can't find a girl... I would never, ever, ever live it down with pretty much everyone I knowNo, seriously!

And you'd still be single, w
king and weeping to Tinder. Sometimes you've got to put yourself in a vulnerable position if all other avenues arent working out for you. f
k what other people think, you're already on a number of websites where others can find and identify you if they want to, and you're telling the world you're single. The longer you're on there, that just says 'havent found anyone yet' in most cases for men. Much as I laughed at the German guy's comment, tbh, Take Me Out application might not be a bad shout either. Have you not got a friend who can introduce you to their female, single friends, or have you exhausted that avenue already?

Go on Matt - be brave with the dating show mate. No doubt you will point to the gliding and Formula Student as showing you have an element of courage (as someone scared of heights I would concur on the gliding front) - so why not. The ability to laugh at oneself is a good thing, though it sounds like you may not like to - which I understand, it is pretty hard to do.
However, taking a risk may be the order of the day if you are really struggling. As others have said - for God's sake its university - there are many women within close reach without needing tinder. When going for nights out with mates, go and strike up a conversation with a lady you've never met before. If it doesn't work, repeat.
It can't be any less productive than the time you seem to be investing in tinder.
Speaking as someone who was/is pathologically useless with women (in SWMBO I have found a fellow oddun') I honestly understand that this is pretty intimidating.
You seem to always find an excuse not to do it, and try and rationalise why I shouldn't - I think its because you are worried about falling flat on your face. The reason I think that is that it is EXACTLY what I was like - I (frighteningly) do see some of my younger self in you. I got nowhere as well! Even now, when I go to events for work, and it involves hanging around at a networking thing because there is one specific decision maker you want to speak to - I find it equally difficult in similar ways - but I am not allowed (by myself) to leave until I have done it.
(Just remember that as subjects for small talk with women, Engineering and Politics are off the table until you are better acquainted).
You're a Winston fan - 'Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm'. He was a very successful man by all accounts, and even his life consisted maybe of 75% failure.
Head down. Keep going. Don't stop until its worked.
