Have you tried to help someone with dating?

It's my opinion that: If a woman is nice and normal, then any dating problems she may have come down to four problems which can be solved relatively easily: hair, makeup, wardrobe, and if necessary, weight loss. If she's not nice, she may need to change that; if she's not normal, she may need help. But the rest is easily taken care of, I suspect, with some helpful coaching by married women who know a thing or two about them.

It's also my opinion that: if a man is smart, has a good job or good career track, is decent-looking, and is normal, then dating problems can be solved relatively easily: wardrobe, hygiene, and he must come off as a smooth, alpha male. He doesn't need to exude sexuality like a muscular Calvin Klein model. But he must give a date the idea that she might want to bear his children someday. Even if he is kind of a dork or a nerd, he must overcome that with confidence and savvy. Perhaps that's not so easy to coach. I just attended an event where I ran into a guy I know who is dating and unfortunately comes off, it seems to me, as a little effeminate. I doubt that's his intention as he very much wants to get married. I wanted to tell him what his problem was but wasn't sure what to say. It didn't matter as he didn't give me the chance. Also, he didn't ask my opinion. After all, what do I know?

I know that to at least one person, whom I once knew rather well, he comes off as weird. And if that's her opinion, she's not the only woman who thinks so. "Weird" means he isn't normal, and the last thing a woman wants is to be engaged to or married to a weird guy. I know a few weird guys, and they're all single. Maybe this is an obstacle that isn't so easy to overcome.
