Search Results: dating a good girl

I am 28. I am a mechanic, 60k a year but long hours. I’ve always been single. I’ve tried dating apps and meeting girls in person but I’m never successful. I tried tinder and in a couple days I got no likes whereas I’ve a friend who got 30 likes in a day.
I am not bad looking, regular joe I think and healthy weight. Although I am 5’9 which places me at further disadvantage.

My experience with dating is that if you wish to find a pretty and nice girl, you need to be really good looking. You gotta be really special and I don’t think that can ever be me.

I feel I deserve better than 0 matches and my pride makes me hate women and give up completely. If I am that disliked then I guess I’m an incel. If I do receive a match it’s typically a girl I find very unattractive ☹️

Do I deserve no women swiping me and being rejected and ignored? I can’t see myself ever having a girlfriend. I have to find something that can entertain me more than any girl can.

I am 26. I have it all going for me—awesome life, great achievements, tall and I’m really lucky. I can use apps and get plenty of matches, but I often find that I’m not treated well

What makes me consider giving up is the reality that when I see an attractive woman, she’s often distracted by endless options. ADHD attraction. It leaves me wondering if all this effort is even worth it. A friend told me the average girl has the same options as like a celebrity male. Kinda believable.

Should I just step back from the dating scene? It’s depressing. I can say I should be able to attract a stunning girl without too much effort when I realistically weigh up my life, my friends agree, so where is she? The problem I have is that I’m good looking but not very very good looking. I think that’s what you need, insanely good looks.

I added a poll to make votes easier 😅 I will pick what wins

As stated, together 6 years total. She cheated on a business trip. Tried marriage counseling but turned out she was still talking to this creep. Clean divorce. I’m now 26 and divorced. Just worried how women my age (24-28) would cure this history. Really not looking to date older etc and I have continued working with the counselor to not carry any of the baggage with me, honestly there isn’t much. I’ve got self respect, she betrayed me and I deserved better. Good riddance.

But I worry how dating looks going forward, if I’m damaged goods to girls my age etc.

I starting to think so. I am Indian by origin and I get treated differently by it, excluded sometimes. Even in dating I’ll match with very pretty girls and they’ll hardly ever reply, just use you for their ego.

I have everything going for me and constantly improving, tall, look good, top career and so forth. But by being a non white your dating pool is cut in like 2 halves. It’s like having a disability.

Tbf my parents had it way worse, they can never forgive how a large group of white people used to treat them.
