I don't know if it's the season, whether men are getting lazier with their self maintenance, or if my attraction meter is broken!
I've invested so much into myself that I'm expecting the same from a potential partner and it's just not common enough in men. Based purely on appearance, I only find about 1/50 men attractive. And if I'm not physically attracted I just can't persue anything or I feel repulsed. The paradox is that these men often have shit personalities cause they let their looks carry them, and they often play the field for as long as they can.
I'm frustrated. Why don't guys level up!?
I think your meter is working perfectly. It’s protecting you from the trash. I know it’s female DATING strategy but honestly I am so completely turned off men and am okay with never dating one again. I’ve joined the large number of women who have decided they’re not worth it. I have my peace, adorable kitties to look after and a vibrator when the mood strikes me.
Basic adulting/functioning, grooming and etiquette have just gone out the window.
So many men now self-identify as Alphas. They delude themselves into believing their broke stank ass should be enough to attract a harem of extremely attractive women.
This false belief breeds resentment/inceldom when the reality of their situation plays out day after day in the real world...ya know those rare times they aren't playing PlayStation, consuming porn or reading manosphere online.
I can relate OP, I have the same issue. These men carry themselves like trashcans and expect us to downgrade. And the ones who do look decent usually have a god complex.
I feel the same way, especially dating sites. A lot of the men on there are out of shape and should I say...feminine looking? I saw 2 guys on there that looked decent....just TWO. Seriously, what is going on with these men today? Has anyone noticed that they don't look as masculine as they used to compared to 50, 60 years ago? Wtf happened? I don't know how it is around the world, but in the US they look more feminine because of the weight gain.
I'm attracted to masculine looking, well groomed men. I like a Mediterranean/Balkan/European look.
It's quite interesting that this is going on with more and more women, myself included. In fact, my sexuality has seemed to be switching more towards women now. To be clear, I have always identified as straight. . But I have been abused and mistreated by men, and just witnessed their overall low quality for years now and I think my brain is rewiring my sexuality in defense. I see men as just these gross and aggressive porn-fried beings whose absue is near impossible to avoid. Women are becoming more and more appealing to me.
Please don't take this as me meaning to say that sexuality is a choice. I do think, in my case, my sexuality is changing as some sort of defense mechanism.
Because they don't have to. There are enough pickmes around who will settle. Let the LVM have the pickmes, while we go about living our best lives as HVW.
1 in 50? I like 1 in 100 😂 but once you realise that those 1 in 100 are who you’re targeting, then you don’t need to overthink it.
Men want the hottest woman, so why can’t we have the hottest man?
Being well groomed and presentable is a non negotiable standard for me, which means I don't tolerate beards on men. Apart from the grooming standard beards also hurt my dry sensitive skin while kissing, so big no.
Considering how adamantly men refuse to shave nowadays, I have a feeling I will be single for a very long time, if not for life.
Because we've been brainwashed by society to find bare minimum or downright abuse attractive. Once you join FDS, the scales fall from your eyes and you can truly see men for who and what they are
 I have seen only a very, very small percentage of hot men out in the wild. And within minutes their wife and kids will appear.  I hate to sound defeatist, but I truly do believe all the good ones are taken. There weren’t a whole lot to begin with .
I don’t think there’s anything extra wrong with guys now than “in the olden days” other than rampant porn addiction- which they probably used to have as well- but just more effort to access back then.
Overall, I find most men unattractive, and only a vanishingly small number of men absolutely hot as fuck.
Because pickmes reward moids no matter how bad their behavior is! Men will only level up when enough women start holding them to higher standards and withholding our company until they get there.
