Seems like the problem was that his bot didn't filter very well and ended up matching him with tons of people that he had to instantly reject on the date.

I wonder if there is a mentality problem here too. He had invested so little into each date that there was little incentive to put in the effort to pierce the surface and look for common interests.

Going on 150 dates and not finding a single match tells me that you are shooting outside of your league. Your perfect match could do better than you, and is already taken anyway.

Total nonsense attitude. You should never feel "outside of your league" for many reasons, particularly since you never know who you are compatible with. Don't be afraid to aim high in a partner.

The flipside is "be brave enough to be alone forever".

If you set impossibly high standards you are just wasting everybody's time.

Yeah, either his "optimal" picture made him look a lot better than he looked in person, his personality was off, or he was really picky. 150 dates in a place like the bay area, where probably lots of his dates had something in common with him (blogging, tech, etc.) and not being satisfied with any that liked him back? That seems crazy to me.

He starts off describing himself as short, bald, and fat. I'm guessing that picture is old or he has a distorted view of body image.
