Search Results: experience of dating

I didn't get my first serious girlfriend until I was 29, almost 30. In fact, other than online attempts with girls where they rejected me upon meeting in person or short term dating where nothing transpired from it, I never had an actual girlfriend before that. Luckily and with the grace of God, I am now engaged. It is a huge relief.

This had caused so much grief, stress, and anguish over the years being single with no chance in sight of finding love. Shockingly, I was being looked at as the problem for being so depressed about it. I feel 100% that I was justified to feel this way, considering most humans start exploring romance and sex starting in middle or high school.

I wouldn't advocate for this to be the norm, especially for those who truly desire to have a significant other and a family in their lifetime. I know by the time I turned 29, I was already experiencing erectile dysfunction, libido issues, and low testosterone. Shit, for all I know, I can be infertile at this point. I didn't experience these issues up until recently.

I got friend and they showed me there dating apps and you see ‘hey gorgeous xx’ a lot. I’ve never had it like that. I’ve never had these comments and women wanting to get to know me much.
So I never date i occupy my life working really hard most days and then just going on experiences, looking after my health and relaxing.

But I act in a way that I’ve given up hope on finding a woman. Is there any point in going up to women and being disappointed and be treated poorly?

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.
