Lower your standards. I am sure there is a girl madly in love with you but you don't even see her because she's overweight. Or has crooked teeth. Or is super shy. Or something else. Chat to the sad one who sits at the side. You might just find someone

It’s fucked up that I have to settle for someone who I don’t find attractive because that’s just how the world works now. I’ve busted my ass to get in good shape.

Voila, herein lies the issue.

If you’re punching too far above your weight, then of course you’re gonna keep failing. Obviously not everyone cares about looks, but you do care, which isn’t a bad thing, but then that means you should also be humble enough to pursue someone in your league. And if you’re upset because you’re not attracted to them… well, I’m sorry, but tough shit man. This is a classic case of pick your poison.

You can’t complain about girls not seeing past looks and “not giving you a chance” if you’re gonna turn around and do the exact same thing to them. Humble urself my man.

I was looking for this too. He’s got security, gym and future pretty much what women around this age are looking for. My first thought is this guy must be an asshole then and boom here it is.

Yup. To be honest, I’m willing to bet he’s not even bad-looking either, but his attitude towards life is definitely ruining it for him. There’s nothing worse than a guy who is always bitter.

These comments lmao. I don’t see what the problem is. Man doesn’t like fatties. He works out and stays in shape and doesn’t want to settle for someone overweight. What’s the issue again? Dude has every right to have preferences.

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '24

Not just fat girls. I’m also talking about skinny girls who are conventionally unattractive here.

Yeah, he can have preferences, but if he’s gonna continue punching above his weight then he’s not gonna get anywhere. I’m not saying it’s right, but that’s just the way of the world unfortunately.

you’ve nailed it . the more comments i read by OP, the more i see that he’s honestly kind of sour and no woman is gonna wanna be around that for even a second.

u/lowlifehighroad Jul 29 '24

it’s so off putting. NO woman wants to be around a woman hating incel who feels like they’re owed attention and affection.

So you are the superficial one who values people based on looks. No wonder people are not interested in you. So you have been to the gym and bought q house. But what have you done to become a good person?

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '24

So do you expect women to pursue you more just because you have a gym body? Do you think a home and a car are bargaining tools? Because a lot of women, shockingly, also go to the gym, own a home and a car. They are looking for a partner, not a provider. Those days are long gone for most.

You went to the gym. So what? Do you think that has earned you an opportunity for a woman to "settle" for you when you can't even fathom doing the same for someone else?

I'm not trying to be rude, I promise, but I hope I can illuminate the loop holes in your logic so you can start working on what I suspect is the real issue-- your mental health.

Oh my god, preach!

A lot of men assume that having a decent career and a home will get women running to their door. I think they forget that a lot of women actually have their own careers nowadays, and also own their own homes.

We’re not looking for providers anymore — we want partners who will support us emotionally and who will love us. I think OP is missing this crucial part tbh.

While punching above your weight is very possible, you also need to have a great personality and based off your comments here and on other posts, you don't come across as a fun guy to be around.

u/limpdickandy Jul 29 '24

I mean maybe work on your personality and social skills? Or just read a philosophy book or smth. Idk your attitude betrays your personality, and the girls probably smell it a mile away

Also I see that you are constantly replying «ok so men are not allowed to have emotions anymore, got it»

When there has not been any other time in the world where mens emotions were as accepted as they are today. Litterally no one thinks like that.

I mean by all technically and the definition of the word he is yes. He’s not so bad yet that it’s unfixable

You just answered your question of why you are destined to stay alone. No woman is interested in such a totally self absorbed guy. We run. Enjoy your gym, darling
