You may also be focusing on the wrong people. It's sad and annoying, but people are usually a lot more vocal with criticizing than they are with admiration. You're hearing "where's his Lamborghini" and "what a dork," but your not hearing the thoughts of those who admire you or are interested in you.

Not that I can really talk, being the complete chick non-magnet myself, I've noticed that people can tell when it appears someone is compensating or trying to compensate for something.
While some women are looking for financial security, if I may quote George Michael, "sometimes the clothes do not make the man."

Something that really bugs me because...Well, it's terrifying, is that women expect the man to lead. They'll show subtly, very subtly, that they're interested, then expect you to put everything on the line and let them know they're wanted and needed by you stapling your heart to your sleeve and letting them know you're interested. I'll admit, sometimes, often, even, your heart takes a bullet. However, it only has to happen one time that your heart will be accepted. As my Uncle Dave says all the time, "it's a numbers game."
Try being wild at heart. Try showing a woman you're interested in that you'd be willing to fight for her, even if it means exposing yourself to potential humiliation. You can't stand around in nice clothes driving a nice car and expect people to flock to you, you'll be disappointed every time.
Then again, as I said, I could be totally wrong.

I have been married 3 times plus the numerous other relationships. After leaving my last 2 and several years into this one, I have come to realization that it would be best to stay single.
Especially in the US, the woman wants to rule the house, without any comprimising. They want it all their way and will point out any and all problems with you. They will nag and complain and appriciate nothing. When you want something, its not there. Then when you leave them, they will want you back making empty promises.
A good and fair woman is far and few between. Trust me, stay single or get a woman from Russia or Tailand.
If I sound bitter against women, it may be because I have met ALL the wrong ones, but thats what it looks like from my perspective. They all want to control my money, change me without changing themselves, live by there morals, complain about everyone except themselves. If man could just get over his sexual desires, there would be a lot more happy single men around. A lot more fishing boats in the water too.
They can probably sense your desperation....
