Search Results: like a girl who rejected me

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 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.

Girls will put or say they only want a guy 6ft+, as a guy who’s 6’1, even I find that annoying and will typically not talk to the girl or consider her for that reason. Unless she herself is so amazing and beautiful.

As men we do get singled out for incredibly shallow reasons. If you’re gonna exclude 90% of men on something they can’t control I think it reflects bad on their character, what if I wasn’t that tall, you ain’t gonna love me? That’s how I view it.

I like women appreciating my height but when they have such high standards and you don’t see how they are so special I find it cringe worthy.

It’s like we have to live up to their standards but we can’t put standards on women.
