[General Woundwort]

All I can say is that this is a very preplexing subject. Women are a complete and baffling mystery to me. I'll have my female co-workers tell me what a great guy I am and that I'm a great catch, and then when I ask some girl out on a date (in a different context), I get shot down and stomped on to boot. I have no skill in, or patience for, the "marketing/selling oneself" games you evidently have to play in on-line dating or matching services. I'm now 36 years old, quite single, and getting quite set in my geekish ways - and at a loss as to where to go from here.
