Hmmmm... Coalporter, are you hitting on the right kind of girl? Cos the girls you talk about give me an impression of being really superficial and mean. Not all females are like that, some of us are nice! Apart from that I would say be careful, cos nothing sends a girl running faster than desperation... (it's sad but true

)
How long do you give girls before you decide they aren't interested in you anyway? Sometimes it takes time for a girl to make up her mind. And, you know, it could be that she DOES fancy you, but is too shy to do anything about it, and then you understandably interpret that as disinterest and retreat, so she retreats... It's the toughest game in the world, but remember that a girl can't tell by just looking at you if you've had a million exes or none. So fake it til you make it!
And someday you'll be walking along looking at the clouds and a girl will see you and be absolutely floored by you just being you. Til then, ease up on yourself. It doesn't do you any good to base all your self-esteem on a bunch of random chicks who happen to not appreciate you.
Spearmint, a guy who is happy in himself is the most attractive in my experience. Every girl is going to have her own order of preference, but I think personality and a sense of humour would be generally at the top of the list... Personally I couldn't care less about whether a guy had money or not, but if he can't dance I'm so outta there! But for other girls, it would be completely opposite... I guess what I'm trying to say is the more areas a guy has going on for him, the more likely it is he'll attract a larger number of girls, but there's no set checklist of attributes that will guarantee you a girlfriend. I wish you loads of luck though!!!
