Too young or not too young, that is the question

August 15 2015

Hi, I've been wondering, do I look too young to be attractive to women, online or offline? Is a younger-looking man ok? I'm actually 27, and never dated anyone yet. I used to be a lot shyer and mostly haven't had the urge to try this till now. I also apparently look a lot younger to people on first impressions, so I'm wondering if that's a bit of a hindrance. Apart from a few kind of flirts, and fizzles, online dating hasn't really worked for me so far in the last 6 months. I know younger-looking women are appreciated a fair bit.

    You do look very, very young. Though..... Don't take your experience of RHP as indicative of anything. There are far too many men on here, for the teensy pool of available females, who are actually looking to meet. Folks under 30 seem to do much better with a phone app - T, t ... mhmm, on the tip of my tongue. That seems to have a much younger base, and a much more even spread of men to women. Good luck.

    It might not be that you look too young, you may just be too young.

    It has its own cons and pros. I am no relationship doctor, only talking from my own experience. I suggest you to expand your offline experiences. Or maybe try as well some other online communities which are not based on dating and adult themes? Something like Couchsurfing maybe? I guess as an aviation guy you like traveling so that can be a good start. You meet many amazing people and because the idea of dating is not right into anyone's face, people feel more relaxed when meeting new friends. I am a traveler and my husband too and we actually met through CS :) Or if you have any other hobby or obsession it should be easy to find a public online platform for it to meet people with the same interest. However if you decide to do so, keep in mind that it is not a dating site, it is to meet likeminded people and then you may find a date too. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I met a woman..... let's call her R. I was young..... maybe 6.... and she was 7. lol...... dude... don't make thing out of a non-thing. Why do you care what others think so much?! In a few years you'll WISH you WERE younger. Just remember that RHP is NOT a representation of total reality.... but only a small sliver of it. (And even then "reality" is poetic licence if some of the profiles are an indicator! So don't overthink... over live, and over deliver to yourself, and to others. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Your comment about being a lot shyer in the past is what strikes me as the important part here. Yes you look young but do you actually put yourself in a position to meet others? Online dating is hard, very hard for men on here. But step outside your comfort zone. Go to meet and greets. Try saying yes to every invite you get for 4 weeks, even you wouldn't normally go. What's the worse that could happen? As someone who was very shy when I was younger it worked for me.

    You do look very young but thats a good thing. If you have a youthful and positive attitude to match then you will be fine. There are many women on here who love younger guys (understatement of the year) and you dont have the usual "can go all night, hung for U, loves Lickin pussy" on your profile which is very attractive. Good luck, and I hope you meet some nice people and enjoy your RHP experience x

    Might help to get rid of your ask me bits in your profile. And tell us a bit more about yourself in your written profile if you are comfortable.I'm sure some ladies will try and corrupt you sooner or later. Be careful of Koko......and be careful of old trannies. They might ask you to put a school uniform on.And look on the bright side, when you are 50, you will only look 25. Seriously though, good luckAnnie xx

    Ditto to above. And dont be disheartened. Remember women online get messages in mass so something really needs to stand out to get a good response. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I think it's a combination of your young age and that fact that (as you've mentioned before) your sexual experience is very limited. On a site like this, though I know they exist, women with the same level of experience or willing to teach a young grasshopper are not in the majority. The fact that you are not a non-smoker may be working against you as well. My suggestion would be joining different sites (including vanilla ones) and not putting all your eggs in one basket. Many guys here have stated they have more luck in the real world, so make sure you get out there. (And consider quitting the ciggies.) Good luck x

    How can this possibly work for you here if you can't message anyone..Your profile is snooze worthy Robert..Being young looking is not necessarily a bad thing,and if you are shy.I know that's difficult but put yourself out there...why would women want to meet you,tell them about you..you may have success with a paid membership,you may not ,try it for six months,be proactive and good luck xxFreya

    Choice advice thanks. I've mainly looked at the forums on here, I've run out of profiles to message in Adelaide. Yes, I think the real world will be better for context. Problem is, in my work and interests it's mostly men at the moment. Might do a Contiki tour next year.

    Quoting 'RobertB211'Might do a Contiki tour next year. then I'd suggest you quit smoking, build up a tolerance to alcohol, and you should have lots of fun. I know everyone says "be yourself" and all that, but while "being yourself" lead with the "pilot" aspect and less of "community radio", it conjures different images. I think you'll have better results leading with something "accessible" (e.g. pilot training) and then blending in your other interests, then you're the "INSERT_INTERESTING_COOL_THING who is also smart and knows about x, y, z" rather than the "HAM radio guy who also likes planes". Good luck with it all - since you're in Adelaide, can I suggest The Grand in Glenelg on a Saturday or Sunday night. It's about 80% female on those nights so you've got drastically better odds.

I presume.... you see a lot of women away from the internet and your work...... in the street, at Woolworths.... pumping petrol..... the real world is full of people who might just be waiting for someone to spark up a friendly conversation with them..... Try it....
