So levels are only about looks?

I’d rather be alone then with someone I’m not attracted to at all who’s “on my level”

I can’t control who I’m attracted to

Guys who can’t get dates get killed here for having too high a standards or shooting out of their league then if you lower it and it doesn’t work you’re getting on me for it . You can’t win.

He's being honest. If that is shallow, then 99% of people are shallow. You can't FORCE yourself to be physically attracted to someone, and the vast majority of people I know are like that. Like it or not looks matter.

I'd say more likely looking in the wrong places. And probably trying too hard. Because I'm not "trying hard" to get a date and I'm doing just fine.

I myself am not even on OLD (and I've heard a couple of times on here that not that many women are into online dating). I agree that not getting any message on OLD doesn't automatically mean inability to get dates.

Let's face it, we all know there are some "heck no" people for us. That is not being shallow it is being real.

BUT

What you have done is boost your own self-esteem by getting a woman to be into you when you have no interest in her and that is a la'douche move.


Sound kinda like you are struggling with dating.

You really woke up on the wrong side of the pillow huh?

You need a hug or something. Why so abrasive?

Ignore the haters. You gave something a chance. It didn't work out for you. People do it all the time. They give someone or something a chance in order to see if there could be something they like. I've done it myself and found something to like...but it still didn't work out.

It's not like you murdered someone.

Stop trying to win.

You tried. Went out of your comfort zone. That's all that matters. No conclusions to be drawn here. It didn't happen with this woman but it could happen with another.

You never know.

The conclusion is I know how attraction works for me.

If there’s zero physical attraction that’s not gonna work for me.
