"Two studies demonstrated that men's (but not women's) cognitive performance declined if they were led to believe that they interacted with a woman via a computer (Study 1) or even if they merely anticipated an interaction with a woman (Study 2)"
Well, that explains a lot. Emphasis mine.

Dating websites are a great way to meet people. I'm a big guy myself and had little luck at first. But once I learned how to write up a good profile that makes me sound witty and confident and plays up my mind as opposed to my looks and reclusive habits, things really started to change. Girls started messaging ME! Upload pictures of you out having fun instead of in front of the bathroom mirror.
I've probably met about 15 girls through dating websites this summer... most of them have been meh but I met a few great ones. My latest girl is turning out to be pretty great, we've been texting almost nonstop since late August and have hung out at her place a few times, I've been helping her with reno stuff. Got a little fingerbang action last night after we laid some flooring. The one before that turned out to be a squirting fuck buddy. But she was a butterface, and I love making out, so I moved on. New girl is fucking cuuuuute!!! And sweet. And smart. And handy. And funny. And tasteful. I'm smitten!
The key is persistence and confidence! My response rate from girls is probably close to 1 in 10 or something, but I just keep messaging girls and eventually someone bites. And once you start meeting ladies and learning your own strong points, your confidence will gradually grow, and it seems that women can almost smell confidence... like a sixth sense. I feel like I'm in my game now. I've been getting out to bars and clubs again and dancing my face off and with my new found confidence girls keep approaching me, where that never happened even a year ago.
Have you ever tried repeating mantras or using reminder notes to send yourself subliminal messages? Repeat to yourself "I am ridiculously good looking and ladies can't get enough of me" as often as you can remember and it will help build confidence. Advertising works because of the frequency of the messages they display moreso than the content. McDonald's doesn't make you want a Big Mac by making it look delicious, they make you want it by showing you ads so often that you can't think of anything BUT a Big Mac the next time you are hungry. (As an example....)
Posting this item is like posting about some guy on eBay selling it for $150 BIN. I was expecting to find several copies being sold for $30 or something reasonable, not a post about Amoeba flipping a record. C'mon OP.
As a web developer, Discogs has always been a site that is hard for me to look at. Yeah, they have tons of good information, but the structure and interface of the site is pretty terrible. I'd love to be able to help them build a new site.
