The idea that rejection is nothing personal

[SW15]

At a store I worked at before this job (but after college), I would comment on a female coworker's body (directly to her)

You are fortunate HR didn't fire you for that. That sounds like a policy violation to me.

The closest thing I've done to shooting my shot with a woman in my office building was back in 2021 when I slipped my number to a female coworker at the same company as me.

I doubt that resulted in a date because you didn't directly ask her out and then ask for her number. Also, doing that within your own company is a bad idea.

You didn't have the guts there to take a direct rejection from a co-worker.

I tend to stay at a job for a while (so the "you'll change jobs quickly anyway" thing doesn't really apply to me)

Millennials and Generation Z (the women you're interested in) are changing jobs every 2-4 years.

Also, you could get laid off this afternoon or by the end of the week.

In case you haven't been paying attention to the employment world, there are massive layoffs going on right now. That's been the case since mid-2023. Most of the time, the employee did nothing to deserve it. It's the fault of incompetent senior management.

If you approach a woman working at another company in that building, chances are that she's gone before the end of the year. She's either going to get laid off, change jobs voluntarily, or you will get laid off.

You might as well show her some charisma and ask her out for a drink at a bar.

AI raters rate me mostly in the 6 range, with some 7's and some 5's.

A live human rating site I'm on rated 2 of my images as 6.3; 1 image as 5.8

Did those AI raters and live human raters see the lack of muscle definition on your chest/stomach/arms in that one thread you posted on here? That would affect those numbers.

I dress the way I do because that's how I want to dress

Couldn't that be interpreted as an attractive character trait (as I'm doing something many a woman might not like, yet I have an "I don't give a flip" attitude...in other words, I'm not going to let a woman's preferences impact my wardrobe)? Talk about not caring about a woman's approval.

That's the equivalent of walking into the boxing ring with both arms at your sides, getting your clock cleaned in over a dozen matches, and trying to whitewash incompetence as "style", as opposed to emulating what the highly successful do
