Men keep saying this. Then they find put that different women have different tastes and that many women preffer other types of men or even other women.

At the end of the day, compatibility with someone else is not a matter of checking boxes, it is a mix of chemistry and personality. Some women are bossy or independant and doesn't mix well with a man who insist on telling them what to do or, worse, since he is the silent type, expects to "lead" but doesn't talk to much so the woman has to figure it out what he wants based on gestures or expressions.

Sometimes women doesn't want someone to lead, but someone who walks by her side. And some women might want a men who follows while they lead.

And sometimes the problem is not that there are no women who like them, but that they don't like the women who likes them. That happens and it is ok. Finding someone compatible is never been easy.

By the way, assuming that you know better than women what they want could lead to being considered a creep. After all, if you have been rejected or told "I like this and not that", then insist on acting in a way that they don't like. Told that they don't like it and keep insisting because you "know" they secretly like it, chances are that they are being honest, doesn't like it and decide that you are a creep for not respecting what they told you. Explicitly.

There is nothing more annoying than a man who have decided that won't take no for an answer or that you don't like him. Just saying.
