Not internet trolls - literally dudes who look like they live under a bridge and were the inspiration for Three Billy Goats Gruff.
I'm by no means perfect. I've struggled with my weight and I've fluctuated between a size 14-18 most of my adult life. My insecurities about it lead me into abusive relationships with LVM in my past until I finally said NO MORE after having to call the police on the last abusive jerk 3 years ago.
Over the past year I've lost a little weight, I work out, watch what I eat and have always dressed neat. I take excellent care of my skin and most people are surprised when they learn my age. I shave and I pluck. I get my nails done every 3 weeks and I love to wear makeup. I make an effort to look nice bc it makes me feel nice. I still run errands after the gym sometimes bc we're all human but on average I go out in public with 95% of my shit together.
The last 4 men who've tried to match with me on Hinge -
One had two completely rotten green front teeth. I've seen jack-o-lanterns with better smiles. He also looked Iike he hadn't gotten a hair cut since Bush was in office.
One was extremely obese with uncombed hair, a neck beard and wore his pants up over his belly just under his man boobs.
One was cross-eyed and looked like this emoji 🤪 IRL
One was so old, gray and pale his skin looked transparent. I didn't even know that was possible.
I don't look for physical perfection but JFC!
Men have no shame and lack complete self awareness. The confidence is ridiculous. We ALL need to adopt that same level of confidence ladies.
What's frustrating is the men I find attractive never match with me. I don't even get a chance to vet bc decent looking men who dress neat NEVER ask me out on the apps OR in general. I don't let it get to me like it did when I was younger but I'm probably going to get off Hinge bc this is just dumb and depressing.
Online dating is picking through the trash 🗑️ don’t hinge your self esteem on it
Not sure if this helps, but I am in early 20s attractive woman living in a major city, and I rarely get asked out by attractive men on apps, never in real life. I go on one date every few months because that's the frequency I match with an attractive guy who will also take me on a proper date.
I do match with a lot of attractive men, especially on Bumble. However, I can tell that they're not actually interested in anything serious, or are feminine/redpill men.
It’s not you, I am very slim/fit and attractive and ugly obese men try it with me too.
There are no decent men on apps, esp nowadays. So that's why women tend to not have much luck on them, even if she looks very good herself. It's better to just meet people organically and let the magic of chemical attraction work in real time, ch'anno? 😎
