(Warning: extremely bad sentence structure - I am writing like I rant in my own head).
So I'm lonely sometimes. And I'm a very needy and attention / affection loving person. I don't ask for a lot - just someone I am attracted to who has goals in life and is taking steps to achieve those goals. And can also hold a conversation. And want to see me.
I'm not ugly. Not even close. Without makeup depending on the day and hormones going on I'm anywhere from a 6 to a 9.
I'm smart, have goals, can hold up a conversation, i like sarcasm and humor, i can cook better than your grandma, turn into this mush of femininity and softness around people that I like and feel safe around, and love to cuddle and show affection.
So why am I single? I am very frustrated right now because I have this massive urge to show and receive affection and I am all alone. And this circumstance sucks. And while it might sound like I'm angry I'm actually very sad. I feel like giving up.
I mean... I could get this... but not from anyone that interests me. I haven't met many men who meet the above criteria and the ones that do... well, I haven't really found anyone that does. But i am not even asking for a lot. Most of them are just decent human being stuff.
I don't understand why this is happening to me. I have literally no one to even date. I tried dating apps but there is just something off about it. I feel like people who swipe never truly stop swiping. I don't want someone who swipes. But in public, no one really approaches me.
I am just... so done with men at this point. Where are all the good 20something and early 30 something year old men who like giving affection?
