Search Results: noticing appearances

So I’m really wondering why I am the unluckiest person ever. I’m 26 and never had a long term relationship. In HS, I never got asked out. I tried the dating apps in 2012, have been using them on and off since. It’s been almost a month since I stopped using them & plan to keep it that way hopefully. I always figured that because I’m chubbier, maybe that’s why I’m always single. I lost weight & am still alone. Why I use apps? I don’t have a social life (only “online friends”) and when I used to go out with people I called “friends”, I never got approached. I only get noticed by the men I would not want. When I do get noticed by men physically attractive, it always goes to shit. Only the unattractive ones are usually a bit more promising. I tell my parents my bad luck & clearly they can’t relate. My mom met her partner of 15 years in a chat room & my dad has been steady with another woman for a few years. My parents are out of shape and not college educated, I hate to sound rude. I’m thick too but try to take care of my appearance and have a decent job, degree & own my place. What more does a man want from me? I get mixed reviews on the dating apps, 50-50 for success & fail stories.

I mean I can appreciate a person who takes good care of themselves, but maybe I'm a little weird for the fact that doesn't automatically mean ripped people. I think more good haircut, or a clean appearance and I especially love a good fashion sense. I have noticed a lot of my girlfriends always thought it was kinda dorky for me not to as interested in them as they were. I go to school at a "sports university" so maybe seeing way too many ripped men has made me less interested.

* FYI, I'm not saying I wouldn't date someone ripped but personally muscle mass just isn't my favourite thing when I met someone.
