Search Results: why would he rather masturbate

28F, just leaning towards bad luck. I’m very introverted & not the friendliest but I don’t think I’m intimidating. I’m told I’m cute/attractive, it’s not like I’m a runway model yet guys just never approach me. I’m told guys look at me but they never do anything about it & I’m too shy. I know there’s nothing wrong with me, most women seem to get guys so easily. That’s why I’ve been on and off the apps since I was maybe 18, getting matches has never been a prob. Convo always fades, ghosting, lack of interest (goes both ways) & some guys who are crazy. I’ve tried a lot of them, usually I stick with Hinge. It’s always a pattern of the guys I want who don’t want me back & the ones that want me I don’t like back. For maybe the past year I’ve become less and less interested, I reply to matches/msgs every couple of days? Even when I was more engaged it still led to the same pattern of no success. A few people have said maybe I’m asexual (haven’t had sex or masturbated in years), assume I’m gay or I’m unsure of what I want. Maybe they’re all wrong & simply I haven’t found the right person? I dated someone for a few months back when I was 23 & after dealing with someone I felt like I settled for, I decided I’d rather be alone vs be with someone I am not crazy for. I’m kind of at the point where I’m apathetic & I just feel too old to be bothered.

I just don’t understand how I fail to attract a man that I want. I know I’m only 26 but am 100% certain that I’ll end up alone. I know I’m not beautiful but should be able to attract a decent man. I’ve been on and off the dating apps for years with no success, here’s my luck: 1) the attractive guys are just flighty/want sex, 2) the decent looking guys that have a decent personality are just too short for my preference and 3) the ones with the good personalities are just not attractive. Why can’t I find a guy that’s tall, decent looking and not a dick? I mean I’m not morbidly obese, I’m thick but I thought there’s guys who dig that. Even a little slimmer, men did not talk to me. I lost a lot of weight 3 years ago assuming that would result in more attention From the opposite sex and it hasn’t. Is this common or is there just something terribly wrong with me? I don’t feel the urge to have casual sex, I don’t really care for sex much at all. I don’t even masturbate, the only guy that I ever “dated” was just not attractive and I was so angry that I couldn’t get better. I’m glad that ended, I know my worth. I’d rather be alone then settle and be miserable, I live by that.

Here's what I mean.
(Many) men are fucking obsessed with women.
Even when they claim to be "going their own way" - away from women - their obsession shines through.
There's a MGTOW who has been sexually harassing me for the past 6 months. Every day he comments on all my posts, and just recently he sent me a bunch of pictures of me from over a year ago, saying that he masturbates to them, before sending me a bunch of messages begging for nudes.

I also often get messages from men who will keep messaging me nonstop even when I don't respond, and I did a poll, and apparently this happens to most women: https://www.girlsaskguys.com/other/q2359592-has-a-person-of-the-opposite-sex-ever-constantly-messaged-you-despite

Indeed studies show that more women than men report "needing space" in a relationship. (and also more men than women say they want kids.) https://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-02-22/travel/sc-fam-0222-men-women-love-20110222_1_single-women-single-men-men-and-women
I can relate; I broke up with my first boyfriend because within the first week of our relationship, my phone died for a day, and when I charged my phone, there were 30+ messages from him.

On one hand, it's annoying as fuck. On the other hand, it's a bit flattering, which is why I haven't yet blocked the guy who is sexually harassing me.

So would you rather be the gender who is so obsessed with the other gender, or the gender who the other gender is obsessed with (which is annoying but also flattering and validating)?
