All the unavailable women think I'm great. I've gotten the "If I wasn't married..." line more than once. There are some single women who have expressed interest in me, in whom I am not myself interest, and that makes me uncomfortable and guilty. Most of the available women around here are students and often times much too young. Smiling and eye contact will rarely result in a smile back, but a look of revulsion because you're the "creepy old man". Especially if you're doing it in a place like the gym. Random encounters are non-starters. No way I can just walk up to a stranger and strike up a conversation. What would I even talk about?
Toss in humility - at least when it comes to my looks (I'll be the first to admit that I've become arrogant about other things) - insecurity, and shyness, and that all adds up to alarm bells if an attractive single woman comes *anywhere* near me. Yes, in my book, it's always misunderstood signals or ulterior motives. Rejection is bad. Rejection by way of disgust is worse. Better to not put yourself out there at all, I say.
