Search Results: noticing appearances

Before I rant, I’ll begin by stating that I’ve come to the point where I doubt my physical appearance in every aspect, as if I wonder if I am actually attractive. I’m in my mid twenties. I’m now curvy and told I’m attractive. Yet, I’m always single. I cannot find a man. I see girls talk about how they bump into their SO and it all falls into place. This was never my reality. Guys don’t ever notice me. Online dating is where I get attention and I don’t count that because that’s where everyone can get it. Not to mention, I have gone on dates but it never works out. I don’t have a way to meet people in person since I have no friends. If a woman is attractive, her dating options are endless and that’s not how it is for me. If I do get spoken to in person, it’s by a weird guy in public or someone I typically would never pursue. In HS, guys that gave me the time of day didn’t even go to the sane school as me and were never my type. That’s the way it always is. Why am I so unlucky?

This is probably connected with the fact that they are becoming less attractive themselves.
Like, if there is a question "Do you mind small boobs/ cellulite/ stretchmarks/ acne on a woman?" Older guys are usually the ones who don't mind anything and like smaller boobs, while those younger ones have higher standards and rather bigger ones

So I’ve been single for pretty much my entire life. And I’m in my mid twenties. I didn’t think I was attractive until I lost weight and took an interest in improving my physical appearance. However, I’m complimented on how I look, before and after losing weight, which tells me that I can’t be that ugly if people give me decent feedback. When I told a few people that I was single (after they asked), it either resulted in: a) they’re assuming I’m picky and am single by choice or b) feeling sorry for me and blaming the guys for not noticing me. I don't know what to say. I don’t have any friends so going out and meeting people is out of the question. Wherever I work, most of the men are married. Which is why I have a dating profile to possibly meet people but it hasn’t worked out well. The guys that message me I don’t like and some that seemed hopeful generally end up either no longer messaging me or I lose interest. What’s the issue here?
