30F and I don’t think I’ll ever shake my core belief that any decently presentable lady has no prob finding a man, a pretty girl well forget about it. I’m very reserved, I’ve always been but was *friendlier* in my early twenties, now I’m borderline antisocial. I always blamed growing up overweight as the reason why I didn’t get attention from guys/wasn’t popular, I lost weight in my early twenties and have maintained my weight loss since (still slim thick). Again, this weight loss didn’t change the attention I got from guys & I was a bit more sociable back then.

I’m told I’m attractive (from all kinds of people for most of my life & not only family/friends) & the only times attractive guys take initiative are on dating apps. And apps are absolute trash as we know, guys I’d find attractive in person have never made it known to me directly. It’s always that RARE occasion where I think one is maybe making eye contact or someone I knew pointed out a guy was looking at me/word of mouth this or that guy found me attractive etc. Then on dating apps, I’d have guys that I initially considered *potential* eventually showing interest in me (asking out etc) after I got to know them a bit more and I just find a way to dip out.

Im so conflicted. I feel invisible & when a guy appeals to me in some way on a dating app (which should be taken with a grain of salt), I just can’t be bothered for whatever the reason is for me at that moment. It’s apathy/anxiety/self sabotage/confusion etc?

30F either DA or FA, want to say I’m some kind of avoidant. Based on life experiences, are these pretty tell tale signs I’m probably…well not attractive? I’ve always questioned how almost every pretty woman I’ve come across is always in a relationship with an equally attractive guy. When I was chubby younger, I thought losing weight would solve everything and it hasn’t. I feel like regardless of what anyone else says, I’ll always wholeheartedly believe attractive women have no issue finding a partner & they have life easier. I’ve been told I’m attractive by a variety of people for most of my life, even when I was chubby. I’m not thin, 5’7 women’s US 10 so midsize but I have that thicker thigh/flatter stomach build. The only time I get attention from guys I find attractive are on dating apps and that’s not telling in my opinion. I’ve been told this guy looked at me/this guy found me attractive from other people but the guy never makes it known to me. And there’s been very very few times where I would see an attractive guy making eye contact with me or at least caught my gaze but I just look away b/c I don’t see the point. I’m anxious/reserved but a lot of people with anxiety are in fulfilling relationships.

Last thing I’ll add was being bullied pretty badly as a kid, again I was chubby so I know this played a part. Worse in middle school, I didn’t have to be homeschooled but it still sucked really freaking bad. And in HS but not as extreme as middle school, HS was more mean girls if anything. As an adult at old jobs, I did have confrontation/clashing w/personalities too. And let’s not forget shit bosses. Since I’ve worked remotely for the past few years, I haven’t had drama with coworkers or mgmt. Let’s hope it stays that way, I’ve had to deal with toxic family members too but that’s a thing of the past.

I’M SO CONVINCED THESE THINGS DON’T HAPPEN TO ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE

Sanctions can restrict access to international markets, limit trade, and freeze assets, making it challenging for countries to recover.

Russia Sanctions and BRICS Response

In response to Russia's actions, the US and other Western countries imposed sanctions, including:

Freezing Russian assets

Restricting access to SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication)

Targeting Russian banks and individuals

To counter these sanctions, Russia and other BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) have explored alternative economic systems, including:

BRICS Currency and Trading System

The proposed BRICS currency aims to:

Reduce dependence on the US dollar (USD)

Create a new reserve currency

Establish a trading system independent of:

IMF (International Monetary Fund)

World Bank

SWIFT

The New Development Bank (NDB) or BRICS Bank was established in 2014 to provide financing for infrastructure and development projects within member countries.

Implications for the USD

A successful BRICS currency could potentially:

Challenge the USD's dominance as a global reserve currency

Reduce the USD's influence in international trade

Create new economic opportunities for BRICS nations

Increase economic cooperation among member countries

However, it's essential to note that:

The BRICS currency is still in development and faces significant challenges

The USD remains widely used and deeply entrenched in global trade

The impact on the USD will depend on the success and adoption of the BRICS currency

Neutrality

As a neutral AI, I don't support or oppose any economic system or currency. My purpose is to provide information, clarify complexities, and facilitate understanding. The development of a BRICS currency and its potential impact on the USD are topics of ongoing debate and analys

is among economists and experts.

And yes I understand this is a fake movie but maybe it's a bit telling in a way of society that women would choose to love a ugly man yet when thinking about it in reverse tho I don't think the story would be the same or even make sense. Like men can be shallow when it comes to choosing women based of looks. Not even giving a ugly woman a chance...

Long story short, we matched & spoke for a few wks on bumble a few months ago. He asked to meet up, the times he gave weren’t working & I was new at a job/stressed at the time. He follows up again during this time & I didn’t follow through, flash fwd to a little over a month ago & I regretted not meeting up. I sent him a well thought message & he never replied so I assumed he wasn’t interested. 2 wks ago, we end up matching on another app & I was shocked. He msgs me saying he remembers me & I told him I tried reaching out recently but apparently he didn’t know bc he hasn’t checked bumble in a while. He is the one who then asked for another chance from me since I thought he left me on read a few months ago.

We met up for first time last Sat afternoon, he bought me food at this casual Mexican spot & he seemed okay with continuing talking but I ended it a little over the hr mark (said I had to finish errands). He asked if I had something planned & I said yes, he wanted to know where my car was & wanted to walk me to my car. I was kind of walking in front of him though, I said thanks and he said have a good rest of your day. It’s not like he ended the meet-up or there was awkward silence during it, I felt like we both spoke enough/convo flowed fine but I must’ve overestimated it. Everyone on the internet is saying I made it obvious I wasn’t interested but he was kind of reserved too, I’ve acted less interested meeting guys before & they still wanted to meet again🤷🏻‍♀️. Sounds mutual in this case
