I've officially deleted and purged all dating profiles. I'm no longer trying because I'm not getting what I want.

I'm done because there's no point in continuing if I keep getting the same results and patterns each time no matter what I do. I'm tired of constant disappointment.

That's nothingMake you a men's profile with an average looking man.Let's just say pick someone that has similar features.As you do someone that's overweight, not the best looking.Create a male dating profile and see.Just how horrible men are treated on those same dating profiles.

Think about how many average guys you've swiped on didn't even give him a chance..

What's bad is most people overrate themselves?Most women always rate themselves 3-4 points higher than they actually are so if you think you're a six or seven, you're probably a two or three

@dale74 I know the outcome of that because it's the same outcome I get myself.
@dale74 This is a horrible thing to say.

@SinlessOnslaught well, at least i'm not lying to her
@dale74 You are making assumptions that aren't helpful.

@SinlessOnslaught well then you just keep living in la land
@dale74 You just came across a lady much younger than you who is having trouble in the dating world and it's causing her to feel undervalued, and you decided to take the opportunity to tell her how hard it is for men, then proceeded to tell her she's probably 3-4 points lower on the beauty scale than she thinks.

Then you told ME that I'M living in la-la land.

Do I even have to make my point any clearer?

@SinlessOnslaught you'll wake up someday.Why don't you ask her out
@dale74 I'm not taking advice from you on either of those sentiments.

@dale74 how does this help the OP and her feelings on the matter?

@IAmNothing don’t listen to the old dudes. Sorry you’re going through that. Hopefully it gets better.

@dale74 wow...i have never said I'm pretty, or even normally attractive. I guess I'll just go back to my bog house with chicken legs.

Also, men tend to be their own issue when it comes to finding women. Women aren't in the market to be a maid, nurse and short order cook anymore. They want men who are willing to meet them emotionally to grow together.

This isn't the 50's anymore. Women have far more going for them and men just aren't equipped to deal with the fact they need to step up and be a man worth having.

I'll shamble off to my cauldron and moisturize my warts now.
@FoxyQueen Dating apps are different, it's a vacant desert for men but still that's not to say that women don't have their own struggles and Dale's input is not even remotely helpful.

@SinlessOnslaught I don't know. I never had any luck with dating apps. No one sent me any messages mostly because I was honest in saying that I was looking for a partner to share my life with and not make sex a priority. Like crickets. So, apparently, men have very different ideas of what a relationship should be, but wanting to be an active part of someone's life doesn't seem to be it. Unless the other person is willing to be a babysitter for their kids from another relationship.

So it isn't just a baren sea for men. If women don't openly advertise they want sex and are happy to be a mom to kids that aren't their own, there isn't much out there either.

Or I really am Baba Yaga like and not at all attractive, which I accept as well.
@FoxyQueen Ah. Idk what to say to that because I only have my experience. But I'm sure you're not Baba Yaga (I'm not sure what that means but I get what you're saying lol).
FoxyQueen · 51-55, F
@SinlessOnslaught Yeah, if you aren't willing to put out or provide domestic services for free just for the joy of having a man on a dating app, a woman has no worth or value because just being with someone and enjoying each other's company is useless, I guess.

I don't think i look like a hag, but according to @dale74 i think of myself 3 to 4 times more attractive than I am, so it must be so. 😐
@FoxyQueen Don't listen to men. We're seriously obsessed with sex. In general.
FoxyQueen · 51-55, F
@SinlessOnslaught Well, that's really no secret lol
@FoxyQueen It is to men.
