Why am I only hook up material?

- From your description of yourself, you seem like wife material, not someone to just hook up with (not that I even know what makes someone "hook-up material"). The only possible reasons that come to mind are:
- You go to the wrong places, or hang out with those kinds of people. This is partly unlikely since you already said you rarely go to clubs and parties. The company you keep could be the reason though. When you're out with friends for example, do they look and act like "hook-up material"?
- You're a workaholic. Being ambitious and career oriented is great but too much of that suggests you don't have (nor want) time for anything serious. A bad work-life balance destroys relationships.
- Your personality could be a factor. You might come off as aggressive, dominant, intimidating, even arrogant. Some guys don't see those traits as great for a serious relationship, but will be okay with something (very) shallow or short-term if the girl is beautiful.Is this still revelant? - You may just be attractive to other guys or an unfortunate target for them as a distraction. Doesn't mean you're not worthy of a serious relationship. On a side note you should avoid thinking you're entitled to a serious relationship. Not saying you're not what you've described yourself to be, but don't let these kinds of encounters discourage your character. You'll most likely be approached by people like this, so you might have to do some digging among the more reserved guys to find what you're really looking for.Is this still revelant?

- You have premarital sex. That's why your hookup material. They can't respect you if you cannot respect yourself. And they sense that from you. You are who you attract most of the time. You have to change you how you approach relationships and your sex life. Stay firm and grounded by changing your outlook on men.Is this still revelant?
Yes. Because one, it's not judgmental. It's about making the right judgments for your life so you wouldn't have that problem. So if you want to say I'm judgmental, then why judge thse men who wants sex? If you can freely give sex to somebody who your not married to for 5 years illegally, why should they be denied of what is freely given? To men, sex is sex. And as long as they get sex why should they respect you? I had plenty of guys who mocked me for not having sex before marriage, and those same guys are shocked and happy that I never had done what you did because I don't behave like your behaving. That they wished more girls were like me because many of you act entitled and everything else. My standards and principals are clear as day. While yours are not. My boundaries are clear and firm. While yours is whenever you say. To them, that sends a message that you're not worth committing long term because your behavior will be unpredictable. Especially since you sexually active and experienced. This means you will judge them just as much as they can and will judge you sexually. It's very sad that you want to call people like me judgmental yet get upset when you can get what you want with these men. Maybe learn from those choices instead of getting defensive? Because until you change it won't change your encounters.
I don't know what happened in your last relationship. But something is very wrong if you can't get it together with whoever you were with, whether they were in the right or in the wrong. Everybody deals with insecurities in some way, shape or form of another. But there is a pattern between premarital sex and lack of self-worth. That person should be somebody you TRUSTED. And now they left with something precious of yours that you cannot give to somebody worth keeping and fighting for. It doesn't mean you won't recover or have a happy love life at some point. But because of your choices, it will be much harder had you just waited. It's about doing what is right from the beginning. I am my age, is still a virgin and get this, NEVER DATED ONCE. You know why? Because I know my self-worth, and that I am worth more than dirt. And I refuse to be treated any less than a human being. And if I am not going to get what I deserve you can forget about me handing my virginity to any man who isn't my husband and isn't prepared to be committed to me and only me as I should be committed to only him. You will be judged silently 99.9% of the time by your ACTIONS. And actions speak louder than words. Men, for the most part, SPEAK ACTION. If they don't see it. If your energy doesn't show it. If you do not perform those duties that make you unique as a woman, they will not be attracted to you. No matter how beautiful, amazing with your personality or upstanding as a woman you are. You must be the woman even you would be proud of. Not regret becoming. It is never too late to change. But do not forsake the valuable lessons life has to offer you.

My boundaries are unclear? I said I don‘t have sex with any man I‘m not in a committed relationship with. You‘re making it seem like I‘m sleeping around indiscriminately. But continue on your high horse and thinking that you‘re better than everyone simply because you‘ve never had sex outside your marriage (which I‘m not knocking).
Whoa, stop with the unnecessary jealously. I strictly told you that they can sense that your not worth committing to BECAUSE of your sexually active. The point is again, FOR MEN. NOT what I say, ask any guy if you don't believe me. Sex is SEX! No, your boundaries are not clear. You have what I like to call broken boundaries. I have never said you sleep around. But that you have low standards to the point that you prompt up somebody you call 'boyfriend' and only have sex with him, yet you cannot and will not have sex with them. They would rather go for a person who is willing. And your defensive attitude doesn't make it any better. I don't have to be on any horse. You just chose to be lower than what you can be as a woman by yourself. I never told you to make those choices. I am not above you nor below you. You just choose to sank instead of swim.

How am I jealous? When did I ever imply that I was jealous? What is there to be jealous of? And I‘m not sexually active being that I am not in a relationship at them moment. There a virgins that men view as not worth committing to, just as there are there are women who are sexually active that men see as worthy of commitment.
Again, to them it makes you seem entitled for no logical reason to their eyes. Apparently you sound like you don't know much about men for you to accuse me that far. I'm only telling you the reality by experience. And I have experienced it many times for me to remain as I am. For those reasons exactly. At the same time, you getting guys who have girlfriends. I used to get the same thing too. You can't do anything about those types of guys because they have no respect as it is for not just you but who they are with. But at the same time, you are still picking up bad suitors. When I changed my outlook and stop putting it all on guys, the easier it became for me to see clearer why men behave the way they do. And they do it because of so many of you women, whether your Christain or not, religious, spiritual or not or whatever your affiliation is or call yourself, you do the ONE thing these men want: Premarital SEX. Making it extremely tough for people like me, which is why I declared celibacy to find a suitable partner who will wait, who will agree to those terms and will commit. And actually stay. Think about this. Men are driven to be in a relationship with a woman for one thing: SEX. They are not looking for love. They give love in order to obtain sex. THEN they will commit. And that is a big maybe. So if you want to gamble with your physical, spiritual, emotional, mental and psychological wellbeing, you go ahead. I am trying to help you see where you're going wrong at. You have to look at yourself before you look at these men. Because while I am glad that you looked at those other factors like your outfits and such. GOOD! Most would not. However, you're not looking deep enough. And you need to take this time to really evaluate, even if you have to journal things to see that.
You are showing that jealous by telling me in an envious manner for me to continue on my high horse. That is not necessary and is proving to be very rude. It's the energy and the attitude you put off that lets me know you are. You are active if your not a virgin. And the way you are coming off at me, I can indeed see why they do not want to commit. It's about the intent for sex. And what you're not seeing is most of you if not almost all of you who are sexually active are very much the same and alike. You just handle and have sex differently than others who are active and have premarital sex. To you people, sex is a performance. So, of course, most guys want sexually active girls. They don't want LOVE. They want a perfromance. To you people, love is pleasure in the form of sex and it isn't. In turn, you end up hurting each other thinking its love and you don't know why your hurting. Because sadly that is our reality. I just choose not to gamble on my life especailly since it took my late mother's life after getting affected with HPV and got sick with cancer that killed her. You don't understand how a man's drive actually works. If he was having sex in the form of marriage and waited for marriage to have sex he would be committed sexually to his wife. The imprint on her, not sex. A man who has sex outside of marriage is only imprinted on sex. And therefore will be very choosy at times on how the woman is performing sexually just like women do because they have the experience. You cannot have commitment and then have this negative mentality. It will destroy your intimate relationships with men. Now that men have experienced it so many sexually at such young ages as young as 8, they now expect it.
- if you have had sex and not married , then the person you had sex with has spread your having sex with him around so now males feel that your only good for a - hook up - ! do not give up but do not have sex until you do it with your husband on your - honeymoon - with himIs this still revelant?
