No one who is attracted to me is attractive to me

Post Reply New Topic

I've noticed that 99% of the people who are attracted to me are not attractive to me. The main reason is because most people who are attracted to me are guys. I'm not really attracted to guys. I made an account on okcupid and most of the girls that like me are weird looking or just don't catch my eye. I'm okay making friends with those people, but I have a hard time being friends with people who are attracted to me. I tried it once and it didn't work out at all.

Maybe I need to change the way I look or the way my lifestyle is. I can understand why the girls I'm attracted to don't like me. My hair sucks, I don't have a social life, I don't have a life, I live with my parents and I don't have a car. I also think most of the girls I'm attracted to aren't on okcupid. Okcupid seems to attract people who are boring and weird looking. I'm a bit boring so I guess I fit in.

Aren't you giving the answer yourself?
It's not attractive not the have a (social) life. What do you like to do? What inspires you? Take up some hobbies or sports, join a club, start volunteering; anything that shows you are developing yourself as a person. It makes you interesting and therefore more high value to the other sex. It doesn't matter that you don't have a car or live with your parents, especially not at your age. It's just that like attracts like.
If you're not a Brad Pitt looks wise then you can't expect to attract the Angelina Jolies and Thandie Newtons (well, unless you have other things that compensate for that... but it sounds like you don't).
In short: make yourself a more of a valuable person and take a critical look at your standards. If your hair needs fixing, fix it! Voila.

Welcome to the pyramid of envy! The pretty people above you want the prettier ones above them; the ugly ones below you want the prettier ones above them. Everyone has their own little part to play in the pyramid of envy, Some people spend their entire lives chasing after the 'upgrade', never realizing that there will always be someone yet above that one, and on and on... What does that teach us? Stop emphasizing appearance so much, and while it is corny, value people for what's inside, yes maybe they're weird looking and maybe a bit boring, but I'll bet you a good portion of them would make the best sort of partner or friend you could ever have.

almost nobody is truly boring, that is just a failure to delve beyond the surface. if you want to attract somebody not "weird looking" then you are gonna have to put in the blood and sweat and toil to un"weird" yourself. like attracts like. as for me, I LOVE weird!

there is nothing weird about your countenance. caution- old fogey opinion here- and one surefire way to be interesting is to be interested. conversely, if one is interested [even straining at it] then that brings out more often than not the interesting parts of people you talk to. it is very few people that have utterly no unique facets. just my worth.

There is nothing wrong with your hair and you are actually very pretty. Maybe you are just writing off people too quickly? Or you have an extremely boring profile on okcupid yourself.

I suppose there is a fair Darwinian reason for that, which is- the woman is in real danger of being stuck with the consequences if she chooses poorly. so there is pressure there to be picky.

I'm pretty picky as well even when it comes to friends. I don't want to make friends with boring people because boring people don't give me any energy and usually drain my energy pretty fast. When my energy is drained I'm not fun to be around.

Very picky trying to date very picky...

I bet the lesbian dating life is very hard.
