I am undesirable

I came to terms with this fact ages ago. I have desirable parts of me, but they are often just as obvious as the unattractive parts of me.

I am filled with both the really good and the really bad.

I attract men at first, but then, as we continue to talk, I become less desireable. I'm used to that. So when the talking becomes less and less to nonexistent, it isn't really disappointing to me. It is just what naturally happens.

I'm opinionated and judgy. I have values and standards. I'm aware a lot of men either don't really know much about themselves, or they have their own values and standards that end up clashing. And that's okay. Again, it just means that I am undesireable to them in my own eyes. When I see a relationship that will be a battle of wills, I will move on. Conflict should be things that are worked on together, not battling each other's character.

I am old. I don't date younger men anymore. The age difference is too large a hurdle. Since I am undesirable in my own age group, and I don't desire someone outside my age group, I inherently become undesirable.

In the end, I am undesireable for a number of reasons.

That, however, doesn't mean that I am undeserving of love and respect. That I can't be cherished or cared about. But to a lot of people, being undesireable means you are not loveable, worthy of care and being cherished. To me, that is a sad point of view and hurts everyone, including those who hold it.

I agree with you about this:

a lot of men either don't really know much about themselves, or they have their own values and standards that end up clashing.

@DrWatson I can't tell you how many guys literally cannot answer what their hobbies are or what things stir their passions.

Or that they don't feel connected enough to anything, let alone themselves, to even have learned these things about themselves. The most basic of basics of self knowledge.

Like...so after work you go home and just sit in a chair till it's time to go to bed? Then you go lay in a bed till you fall asleep? On the weekends, you just sit in your chair till dark, till it's time to go lay in the dark? How do you fill your time?

Because honestly, if you don't have anything that interests you, you are going to have a very short, uneventful life.
