Search Results: approaching girls in a bar

My last job involved a lot of travel, sometimes with several colleagues. Most of the other guys were in their 20's, but one co-worker was probably just under or just over 50, not sure exactly. Sometimes we would go out at night to bars and clubs while on the road, and after a few drinks he would start hitting on girls less than half his age, even some so young I would hesitate to approach them. The other guys just kind of laughed it off, but sometimes I would feel a bit uncomfortable about it. He always seemed to get shot down, though he'd sometimes get a dance. He was single, as far as I know.

I'm only 5'7" tall, and I'm skinny to boot- no matter how hard I try, I can't build up muscle mass or even put on any fat. Doesn't make a difference how much I eat, or how many protein shakes I make, I just can't put on weight; and whenever I work out, even if I'm pumping iron 3 hours every day, doing reps with weights which weigh more than twice as much as I do, and jogging 5km every evening, all that it ever does is just make my veins bulge out, all over my body, like some gross, freakish abomination.

And I never stop getting dissed, mocked, belittled and emasculated for it. I am NOT weak. Plenty of these thugs look at me and see me as an easy target, come after me trying to beat up on me, mug me, intimidate me. But I can handle myself- every fight I've ever had to fight, even three-on-one against guys twice my size, I've always won. Doesn't matter though- no-one gives a fuck about how strong or fast or athletic I am. I used to be comfortable with my body, happy with it. but now I absolutely hate it, because everyone else hates it and laughs at it, especially girls.

I'm fairly good looking in other aspects, and keep myself well. I still get approached by girls often enough- but because I'm so short and small and slim and 'have a young face', these girls are always either jailbait high-school thots, or pedobear MILF creepers who mistake me for a schoolboy. Will there ever be any girls out there, in the age range I'm looking for (16-29) who could ever find me attractive, as I am?

Is there anything I could do that I haven't already tried, bar steroid abuse or surgery, to become bigger and bulkier- to look like a 'real man' instead of the 'scrawny midget' I am now? Or should I just give up on ever finding someone who wants me for my body- is it hopeless to try and find a girl (over the age of 16) who'd find me attractive?
