I think I phrased that wrong - what I meant was "if asking that a guy not see me as an ATM is considered being difficult, then yes I guess I am being difficult".

There are plenty of "good" guys on this forum asking the same question. Maybe you all should start an island.

To those who mentioned it, sorry but I am NOT looking for a model OR someone to mooch off of.

I can't say I'm cute, or whatever, as I leave that up to other people to decide.

I am not into looks or money - sorry to disappoint those who thought they had me figured out.
You're not looking in the right places. Are you religious? Would you be willing to find religion, if the guy you are seeking could be found at a church social? Where are you finding these gems - the moocher and the immature baby?

I think you are a shy person (my opinion)... The solution to finding the type of guy you want (nice guy, with guts and money (unless you would like to mother the guy...which I doubt). You'll find him while shopping, on a beach, in a museum, running in the morning, on the golf terrain...basically everywhere just make yourself Cute and go everywhere you think you may find him even if you don't find him just have fun with yourself or friends if you invite them. Once you see a guy that fits your standards GO!!!! TALK!!! TO!!! HIM!!! (no shy thinking, i'll sit here so he can see me (I've seen that often and If after 1 min you don't give extra signs of attention. NEXT!!) These guy like sophisticated women(not control freaks (I've had a MOM a don't need a 2nd MOM) - fun to date on short terms but long their a royal pain!!)).

Every guy is mainly attracted to looks, Personality only becomes important after several dates. 1ST looks then the rest. If you have potential to become Great looking then the average look may pass.

Best tips: Theres nothing sexier that a woman who knows how to use eye contact. Great body Is never a turn off! (DRooling.....)

Dating Is WAR...Be ready to use Sexiness because you will need it. Parental supervision is advised (j/k)

If you don't mind being single then ignore what I just said.

My experience has been that anytime some girl says that she just can't find a single guy, or a "normal one", it's usually her. It's easier for a girl to pick up a guy (though that's not just what the OP is wanting, just to make that clear) than it is for a guy to pick up a girl. Everybody knows that. What kinds of criteria are the OP using?

I may not look like a model, but whatever happened to wanting someone who was a hard worker and cared about you? Does that not exist anymore?
Well, what do YOU have to bring to the table? Most women and men that complain about not being able to find a mate should consider that maybe it's not the man/woman, but it's THEM. Yes, that's right...it's YOU. Once you work on yourself, the right person will come along in due time.

Maybe the vibe the OP is giving off attracts a certain type of man.
Maybe she is just exceedingly nice and men think she is easy to take advantage of.
Maybe the places she meets guys are limited to certain types.

Have to keep changing certain aspects until something works.
And remember that there is no guarantee it will ever work.

Keep trying or stop wanting?
The decision of the seeker.
