Search Results: being straight

This is assuming he’s independent, has a good paying job (not rich but above average salary), owns his own house and has an interesting life story.

I’ve tried dating again for the last three months. I’ve gotten one straight but understandable rejection from a girl in her late 20s i met at a CrossFit gym (she’s got a boyfriend). I’ve gotten two flaky rejections on dating apps (both girls in their early 30s). I did get one date with a 35 year old woman. First date started good but it turns she’s an alcoholic (has no problem drinking and driving). I wanted no part of that.

I’m 40. In excellent physical shape for my age and got all my hair. I’m 6ft tall. I’m well traveled and have an interesting past (pro mma fighter). Most women guess I’m 3 to 8 years younger than I really am.

I know dating doesn’t get any easier when you get older. But I have to stay positive (pls don’t say “all the good ones are taken”.).

But seriously I don’t remember it being this tough 10 years ago. Not even close as tough. From 28 to 32 I had a lot of pretty young girls (19 to mid 20s) interested in me. But that definitely isn’t my target age range now. Now I look for women in their late 20s to mid 30s. But why are they such a pain in the ass?

Part two! You can find the first part here.

You know... I used to have a friend back home named Jason. He was 5'9", a ginger dude with a scruffy orange-red beard, was chubby/portly, and literally worked as an HVAC worker. He was my age at the time, 28, and already owned a (nice) house. He was as blue collar and "working class" as you can get.

After meeting up at a social event one evening, he eventually ended up marrying a 5'8" redheaded Greek model with huge breasts and a curvy figure named Ana, someone who I also knew. And a few years later in present day, they have a 6-year old daughter. No offense to him, but he was pretty dumb, but also generally a happy-go-lucky and positive person.

I never understood what any woman could possibly see in him outside of personality, as he was short, chubby, and not-at-all attractive looking. I mean, he was/is a good man, but generally women don't care about that (where I'm from).

Usually, back home in the US, the only men I ever saw with wives or girlfriends were taller working-class men (6' and up), or successful short men (under 6', but earning over $70K). Rarely any exceptions, if any. But women on GAG like to claim otherwise. They say they like the short, working class male with the dad bod who's only 5'8" to 5'11".

So I want to really see... Which type of man really is the most popular?

(And yes, I know these aren't their real heights on the poll. They're not actually Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne being described here though.)

Of the eight teachers at my workplace, all of them are 30 or older, and either married, or soon-to-be married, and only me and another teacher are not really good looking. Today, the head teacher told me how he's excited for the weekend, cause he works all week and will finally get to spend time with his wife and maybe go to the lake. I remarked to him, "Oh, normal people stuff?" He raised an eyebrow and say, "Oh! I didn't know you were..." I knew what he assumed. "No, I'm not gay! I meant how I'll never have a wife, a partner, kids, or any of that stuff, cause I'm short, fat, and ugly. Obviously!" (Although we still have to wear masks here, so maybe he's never seen my full face before.) But he thought 'normal stuff' was 'straight people stuff' and not 'non-ugly people' stuff.

Has anyone ever mistakenly assumed you were gay before?
