Guys my age aren't attracted to me. What does that say about me?

Guys my age never ever like me. They show zero interest in me even on a platonic level. However older guys around age 35+ think I'm interesting and beautiful and sweet. A friend of my mother was sure that I literally have to turn down a bunch of guys every day because that's how beautiful and charming he thought I was but I don't. I really want a boyfriend my age but I can't get one. Clearly there is something wrong with me but I don't know what it is or how to fix it.

  • its normal for older guys to hit or try and talk to younger girls , so I don't think that is anything you should be upset about or says something is wrong with you . you might even find dating an older guy to be a good experience , its not a bad thing to date a guy a bit older than you , they also have more $ and there own place , the single guys your age likely still live with parents and have no $

    i'm not sure why guys your age aren't showing interest , we'd need to know a bit more info about where your trying to meet people and what type of guys you were trying to meet

    • i'm not attracted to older guys and I'm not after guy's $, I just want their companionship. I'm a college student so I hang out on or around campus mostly.

    • well it shouldn't be hard to meet guys on campus , I'd try the campus pub maybe ? its often a place to chat and meet people . or a college club for something you find interesting or the gym ? I don't know has to be something or just start up random conversations with guys in say the library or computer labs , most guys aren't going to not talk to you if your a girl , most will at least talk to you and maybe you'd meet someone . I used to do that a lot and actually meet a number of girls there

    • I try to talk to guys but they just don't seem interested so I will end the conversation.

  • Nothing is wrong with you. Some younger guys may not be mature enough for you; Younger guys want nothing but sex and a lot of it (myself included!) . Be flattered that some older guys take an interest in you. They are probably better at sex than the younger group and know what they want!

    • I'm not attracted to old guys so I don't care what they are like sexually

  • If you have a lot of older guys hitting on you, I have a hard time believing that NO guys your age are hitting on you. Older guys always hit on females. It's a given. But usually there are some younger guys, too. If not, then maybe you seem unapproachable, serious or aren't hanging out where more people your age happen to be. I don't even think I was around very many men who were 35+ (other than the bars) when I was 18-24, so I'm curious where you hang out...

    • Well I wouldn't say A LOT of older guys hit on me, but I have had older guys hit on me and no younger guys have hit on me. I hang out around young people way more than I hang around old people. I'm a college student so I hang out on or around campus a lot.

    • Do you make eye contact with guys you find attractive? Do you ever initiate conversation? Don't be so passive. A lot of older guys who prefer much younger women want submissive partners or else they are very aggressive. Maybe you're just not putting yourself out there enough.

    • I try to but they avoid eye contact with me. Yeah sometimes I try to initiate conversation but usually I don't because they don't seem interested at all, and when I do its confirmed that they are not. I think you're right about the older guys though.

  • This happens to me all the time it sucks.

    • Do you like older guys?

    • Not really. Up to 3 years older is fine but when guys who are any older than that and hit on me it's annoying. Like what makes me attractive to them that doesn't attract guys my age?!

  • You look 35+ yourself.

    • Actually I look a lot younger than my age -_-

    • Then there are two options: 1. You're flattering yourself 2. These guys that are hitting on you are pedophiles.

    • 1. How is that flattering myself when I hate that people think I'm under 18? 2. That's creepy

  • Older guys hit on younger women, and younger women on older men. Guys your age probably assume you don't want to date them because they assume you will reject them or are taken.

    • But why don't the old guys assume that?

    • An Anonymous User above me explained it pretty well.

  • I have the same issue but I think it's because I dress modest

  • The younger guys lack confidence and are afraid to ask you out. The older guys have more confidence and think they stand a chance. That would be my guess.
