I spent hours a day going through every single person’s profile - looking it over to really get as best of an understanding of the person as I could - and if I took interest in a few points, I’d send a message personalized to them based on what I saw on their profile. I also made sure that my own profile was well fleshed out, filling every field with well thought out responses

I appreciate the advice, but I did all of this as well! I just don't have the pictures of adventures because that's not me lol I used to do a lot of hiking, but I've noticed a lot of profiles mention "I don't care about your hiking or catching fish" (I don't fish, but it was a common thing I'd read.) I think it's just the kinds of people around me are too different than I am.

My self image definitely doesn't help either. I'm of the age where everyone is a professional and I'm just a worthless shitbag factory supervisor.

Being a factory supervisor isn't a worthless shitbag job.

It sure pays like one lol a bit better than a lot of other jobs an "uneducated" schmuck like me can get I suppose. I think it's just how society views some types of jobs that leaves me feeling worthless.

Yeah well society is an asshole and personally I ignore most of what it says.

You're in a position where you can affect whether the people around you feel like a worthless piece of shit, or like a valuable, appreciated human being. If you're usually doing the latter and trying to avoid the former (and make it right when it does happen) then you're not a worthless piece of shit.

You deserve to receive that too, and I'm sorry that you aren't.

That sucks, bud. I hope your future love makes their way to your living room eventually!
