Download some David DeAngelo.. if you can't get it send me a pm and i'll post you a dvd with 5 or 6 of his lectures.

[/ QUOTE ]David DeAngelo is awesome. If the OP learned DeAngelo's "cocky funny" stuff he would never again feel the need to make a post about dealing with being unattractive. The OP would likely never feel unattractive again and even if he did he would know that it doesn't matter because he had all the girls he wanted.

Why did he paint his face orange?

Find someone who looks like you. That can often work in to a good longterm relationship. I read somewhere that couples
that look similar have a greater chance of success. It seemed credible at the time and I now predict how relationships will last by how much couples look similar.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes should have a long and sucessful
relationship.

Its just that the only time for me to interact with women is when I go to the bars. Those places just aren't a realistic enough representation of the world there, because there, looks get so much more emphasized.

homework assignment: go to a bookstore, pick out someone you think is attractive, walk up to them and say "hey, you are really pretty, do you want to have a cup of coffee with me?"
(or if this is cheesy just insert something that isn't) i haven't ever had to do this.

i am willing to bet it will eventually work.

also, post a picture so everyone can tell you how not that ugly you are, b/c you are probably overrating your ugliness.

This gets away a bit from the original intent of the thread, but I wanted to comment. Although a direct opener like you advise can work it is difficult to pull off and it can be downright terrifying for those lacking confidence. imho - it is much better to learn the openers of the mystery method or to learn some David DeAngelo. I particularly like the opinion openers, which can get a woman engaged instantly. My all time favorite is the simple, "hey, I need a woman's opinion on something to help settle an argument with my friends. Who lies more? Men or women?" It it simple. It is easy to bail or continue so it is not threatening to try. And, it works amazingly well.

Here's a great tip if, like me, you have no game in starting conversations with strangers:

See hot chick, say "I'm on my way out but I can't help noticing you and not come over and say hi. My name is Steve." She says "Hi, I'm Lisa." And you say "I have to go but I would like to get to know you so, can we like exchange email addresses?" If she says yes, get her email and leave. If she says no, then say "Hope to see you around, Lisa." Then leave.

Does 2 things : keeps it short and sweet so it limits exposure to whatever conversation flaws you have, and asking for an email address is more likely to seem harmless to her than getting her #, but if she seems like she'd give it up then by all means ask for the # instead.

ask for email first and when she gives it ask for phone# too if you want to.
