you a d***head
Thanks for the constructive feedback
I’m not even being mean I’m just being honest
it's a looooooot of attractive people in church
but also, they at church.
take that as you wanna
true met a gorgeous woman at church yesterday when i was trying to get people to sign up for this youth ski trip im organizing but i was alluding more to bible study. lotta pure souls at bible study tho
there's such thing as hot people that aren't awful tho.
you just prioritize looks before the 1st date cause you can definitely tell within the 1st few mins of a 1st date how awful someone can be (e.g. oversharing some problematic s***) but because you already simping you just ignore the red flags.
went on a 1st date once with a conventionally attractive sista and in the 1st like 20 mins she mentions about her 6 year old kid that if she ever saw him act gay he would beat it out of him
had me like
also she was 110% an alcoholic lol. never linked again.
No I know they exist it’s just very difficult to find them because everyone I date is in the fashion field and they’re all self-centered and delusional
And I’ve been in that exact same scenario too bro haha
we arent going to be living in our grandparents world anymore soon
What do you mean by that
Op you either embrace the bachelor life or you find an average chick who gon wanna cook for you every night cause you her trophy
I want to finally settle down but I can’t lie to her and say I’m physically attracted if I’m not

seek therapy instead of seeking a thread to stroke your ego
You're dating women based off of how others would see you rather than how you feel yourself. You don't necessarily have to lower your standards.
I’m really not dating for the approval of others as an ego or status thing I legit don’t care what people think of me it’s genuinely how I feel and I can’t change who I’m naturally physically attracted to
I’m sorry if I disappointed you tbh I’m disappointed in myself too I just felt the need to express myself and keep it real even if it paints me in a negative way
I appreciate all of the positive advice and words of wisdom bro!! The one thing though is that this isn’t an ego issue and I’m not dating for image or validation or how I’m perceived by others
The way I see it is it’s equivalent to someone being gay they can’t force themselves to be physically attracted to the opposite s***even if they wanted to the same thing goes for me but with girls who are non-models I literally can’t see them as attractive
I don’t give up on people so easily my longest relationship was actually 6 years it’s just that any time I see a major red flag I leave because I don’t want to waste my time and it’s not my responsibility to fundamentally change someone’s mind
Nah fam, not at all. I ofc don't know your life but always had the impression that you had s*** figured out. So it just sucked to read that you weren't happy in this aspect of your life.
I hope posting in this thread was useful for you and that you'll work this out in due time!
Other than what’s already been said, I think you should re evaluate your life, your priorities, and perhaps consider moving out of state. Might be best to move away from New York & other metropolitan areas
The problem is I have the best life and love life so I could never move away #1 because I always want to live close to my family and #2 I’ve networked here and I’m too successful in my field to restart elsewhere

Nah, your post def comes off as if your only dating women for attention or likes on social media.
couldve always just went to a therapist
I have/do!! I just wanted additional perspectives on this
F*** what they talking about Rocket. Never settle. There's a 10 out there for you. Your standards are just higher.

Therapy has been great and this isn’t an ego thing either
I’m disappointed in myself and I’m not even proud of this so I don’t understand how you can assume it’s ego related
It’s purely based on my flaw regarding how my brain is wired to determine who is physically attractive to me and who isn’t and it’s something I want to work on
my pops told me an important thing when I was a kid
physical beauty fades away, only what's inside your heart and brain remains
it's just this simple
Actually, your heart and brain fades, too. Even physically.

Ooo I see well it’s not that I’m unhappy it’s just that I see this as an issue that I eventually need to address and figure out before it becomes a bigger problem
And thank you so much you’re the best!!

Thanks bro for the confidence
I just don’t know if I will ever find the one I’m looking for

nyc is big enough to meet new ppl every day and/or meet ppl once and never see them again. if this is the life you want to live, just gotta have faith. I used to think the same way, but it's possible. just don't give up
For sure
Exactly what I was looking for as opposed to just being insulted and criticized
i think a lot of people on here underestimate how self-reflective and open about their flaws one can be. i didn’t get the impression that you were trying to brag or talk down on anyone in this thread. (though outright calling your friends partners ugly is a no go, even if it‘s true)
maybe it’s because i see some of my old self in you. it‘s good that you‘re noticing patterns in your life and actively trying to change them. i think one day a girl will come that will make you change your ways, whether you want to or not. at least that‘s how it was for me.
i kept chasing baddies and went wild for some years with nothing but one night stands and meaningless sex. when i was finally ready to commit to someone, it all went to s***. she was an awful person and i actually knew right from the start. but it was the path i‘ve paved for so many years, so i just had to see it through. even though i knew it wouldn‘t end good.
it f***ed me up so bad that i realized i can’t disregard someone‘s personality just because they‘re hot. i haven’t been in love since, but at least i‘m not having headaches anymore either.
while everyone around you gets married and starts building a family it‘s only natural to feel like you‘re missing out, but not everyone can live the same life. every life moves at it’s own pace. who knows if a genuine relationship is what’s best for you right now? only time will tell. comparison is the thief of joy, can‘t say it enough. walk your path and stick to it. stay blessed

You’re totally right and I appreciate the positive support
I know there are a lot of people in NYC but what I’m finding out is that doesn’t mean a lot of them are good people
I feel like my extreme standards are self-sabotage because it narrows down potential dating partners from millions to hundreds
I'm gonna crash out reading this because the last girl I fumbled was a 10/10 fashion designer who I literally met at bible study and went to church every sunday
What was bad ab her ?

ofc, not everyone is gonna be a saint, you yourself admitted all your girls were bad lol.
perhaps now is just not your time to meet the one. in fact, it might happen when you least expect it. just don't put too much pressure on yourself.
you'll be alright my g
