People are attracted to me but for all the wrong reasons
Just because they want to get up next to you does not mean they like or respect you

I tend to talk myself into being attracted to some women who are attracted to me. I mean, its a confidence boost and feels good, but never ends well. When you have zero options vs 4-5, its easy to get sucked into it.

yeah, right??? Same here. If I would be attracted to those who are attracted to me, I would be with someone who lives with his parents, is jobless, or is between 20-30 or 60+. These are the guys who approach me mostly.

Same here, when I was in my 20s and 30s, these were the men I attracted. And the more I turned them away, the harder they pursued. It was irritating and pathetic at the same time. I think overall people need to learn how to face up to the fact that another person is simply out of their league.

I don’t think that who I am attracted to lines up with who is attracted to me.

I don’t get attracted till I know the person a little bit. I might think someone is good looking - but that doesn’t push them over the line for me to be interested at all.

But I do think if you find someone slightly attractive, and you find out they are attracted to you - it ups their attractiveness.

I wish the guys my age that I am interested in would be that insisting and hard pursuing!

Not really.

First off, I'm hardly interested in other people to begin with.
Top that with the whole hit or miss of attraction in general....mutual attraction almost never happens. In my entire life, it's happened maybeeeee twice. I tend to attract all types of men....except "normal" ones.

Hmmm.....

For me, it's been a mixed bag, so to speak. When I was younger I was fairly shy, so sometimes, the guys that I was MOST attracted to, I couldn't even look at them, let alone speak. Plus...I had no self confidence.


As I got into my 20's, I gradually became LESS shy, so I'd make eye contact, and sometimes there would be a connection, but sometimes not.

Usually no. I live in Seattle where there are a ton of folks with Nordic lineage. I'm 6'4" and also Scandinavian so it's not common for me to draw interest from other tall, blonde women with a similar pedigree as I have. I've never had much interest in them as I've always been drawn to shorter petite ladies with brown hair and dark eyes.

Isn't a 6 ft tall woman short for you? I'll never understand why some tall men like short women so there aren't many tall men left for us tall women.
