Is my dating experience common?

[Anonymous]

So I’m told I’m pretty but this is how my dating experience always plays out. I get noticed by the guys that I do not find physically attractive. If i speak to the guy on the app & they’re cute, I’m aware it will not go anywhere. If they’re cute and message me, they’re probably too short for me (I’m 5’7 & strive for above 5’10 guys). If they’re cute and message me, there’s also the possibility that they’ll end up ghosting me. And the ones I want, never message me and it doesn’t go anywhere. Am I very unlucky or what? This is my experience typically with dating apps, I don’t have a life.

I mean the hotter the girl was, the less likely they were to message me back, or message me enthusiastically, but I would still say I had a shot with about a quarter of the hot girls I matched with based on how they were interacting with me. I didn't take it personally when an 8+ didn't seem all that into me, because I understand that they have 100 other guys who are messaging them at the same time, and odds are, some of them are going to appeal to her more than I do.

You're swinging above your weight class.
By that I mean let's say you are a 7 out of ten. Your are only swiping on 9s and 10s. Why would a 9 or 10 date a 7?
Or once they talk to you they realize they don't like your personality. Either way I think you should broaden your standards.

Your experience is very common. It's hard to find someone with mutual attraction on both sides.

Dating aps are designed to keep you single because they make more money that way.

It's very common. Dating apps are designed for people who are photogenic. They get almost all the attention, so they tend to get very choosy.

I've Joe Average in the looks department so I ditched those apps while Mr. Obama was still in office. I do much better in person, where my personality can compensate for my not looking like a male model.

I’m 6ft2 and only date 5’8-5’10 lol. But if I find a quality girl I may break that. All I can say is you don’t sound like a catch and focus on height a lot. Don’t expect to find a special person if you can’t compromise, you’re like an average height for a female so I don’t see why you feel deserving of a tall man.

Get off the apps and meet people in real life. You will have much better luck meeting people in real life.

You getting rejected by hot guys because you don't meet their standards, I'd say you need to work on yourself to become more attractive or lower your standards

Why you never message guy you like?
I stopped messaging girls cuz they just act like they are not interested. No time for games..

Yes many women shoot above their self worth, common issue, not to mention dating apps are for hookups. Hot guys go for hot women, guess you're not it, better luck next time.

so you're ignoring men under 5'10, simply cause they're shorter?

wow
