Then take a look again. Knowing what you are working with means you are actively trying to compensate. It doesn’t mean you look, say to yourself “yup I am below average” accept it and then go about your day. You look and make a plan to improve the physical and then past the physical

Yepp, just for the sake of argument (because it comes off as red pill to think of relationships as transactional) examine what is being brought (or taken away) from the table.

Money - financial security and comfort
Funny - laughter, dopamine, happy feelings
Confident - low maintenance, able to preserve energy for other tasks, sexy if not excessive

Insecure - high maintenance, takes constant effort and energy to comfort, constant battles but with no end to the war

There's nothing wrong with wanting a hot partner. But sometimes, you gotta look in the mirror and see what you're working with.

u/thissexypoptart 1d ago edited 1d ago

I’m genuinely confused by some of the comments in this subreddit. Everyone wants to be attracted to their partner, and someone saying “I’ll love you” with no attraction there just isn’t the right person for that.

Why are there multiple highly upvoted comments lamenting how this dude is saying “anyone but you” or being a dick?

Everyone should look for a partner they are physically attracted to.

Edit: it's genuinely sad how many comments in this thread seem to think the expectation of finding your partner "hot" is too much and unreasonable. Being attracted to the person you have sex with is a beautiful thing every adult person, who feels so inclined, should hopefully experience at some point in their lives.

Expecting to find your partner attractive isn't setting the bar unreasonably high. It's completely reasonable. You are under no obligation to enter into a relationship with anyone who tells you they will love you.

u/Obatala_ 1d ago

“People I’m attracted to aren’t into me."

“People who are into me, I’m not attracted to."

Two sides of the same coin.

Neither means “no one is into you.”

18

u/hiddencamela 1d ago edited 1d ago

I know you're making a point, but throwing in a side piece of very specific case scenario folks.
If you're constantly attracted to people who aren't into you, consistently, there's a chance you're choosing something comfortable or grew up with people who were indifferent to you too often.
Chasing butterflies in your stomach isn't love, it's anxiety. Not knowing what's going to happen with those people. Someone who you feel safe with usually doesn't trigger that. For these very edge case scenarios, learn what safe is for you, and figure out if those butterflies are anxiety or something deeper before chasing people uninterested in you.

7

u/Obatala_ 1d ago

Much more likely to be “someone who is more into the chase than the individual,” so if someone expresses interest it stops being interesting to them.

9

u/hiddencamela 1d ago

I think that might be another type of scenario as well, which is a whole other set of issues to tackle.

u/thefartyparty 1d ago

Sometimes I wonder if it has something to do with media because tv shows having an ugly overweight guy with a significantly better looking gal is a trope. That's all they see on tv and movies so they think that's normal.

I can count on one hand the times I've seen the reverse and it's usually specifically to point out the trope as a joke. And we never see 2 average looking people together, which I understand media obviously trends toward people who look good on screen, but it would be cool to see more normal looking people in media.

Gather around, children. I'll tell you the tale of Johnny Dresscode.

He was a co-worker of mine, and a friend.

Every day he'd come to work and complain about his inability to find love.

He was a 300lb. 45-year-old IT guy who lived in an ex'es basement. His hygeine was quite bad, and he spent all of his time making charts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and building furniture out of 2x4s. He was banned from the local bar trivia nights for arguing with the judges.

These quirks aside, he was a nice man, and a good person.

Hoping to help him in his quest for love, I once asked him what he was looking for in a mate.

"It's fine if her face is just cute, but her body needs to be smoking hot. Like a 10 out of 10." he replied.

I wished him well, and gave up.

One day, he announced that he was dating a woman he'd met at a convention. She came to some social functions with him. She was nice. She was also funny. Sometimes, she sent him to work with homemade baked goods. On top of that, she was wickedly smart.

I thought that she was very pretty. He thought that she was just OK looking.

For whatever reason, she really liked Johnny Dresscode.

One day, I invited him to a movie with the rest of us, and asked if he needed a ticket for her.

"We broke up. She got mad at me," he explained.

I inquired, and he told me that she had become upset when he said to her, one evening after dinner, "I'm not sure what the point of this is. It's not like I can see myself married to you."

I explained to him that he was a giant moron, and left it at that.

Later on, he found a woman that he could see himself being married to. She had no interest in him, but that didn't keep him from giving her a bunch of gifts that he couldn't afford in an attempt to impress her.

She eventuially left town with her boyfriend, and most of Johnny Dresscode's stuff.

A few years later, Johnny Dresscode died alone from cancer.

TL;DR: Really think about what you need in a alife partner, and look for that. Don't be like Johnny Dresscode, may he rest in peace.

u/Lost-Bad-8718 1d ago

Damn. It's incredibly demoralizing to realize an obese middle aged man with that kind of attitude can have at least one ex and one woman who was really interested in him at first and zero women have ever shown interest in me or swiped or wanted to go on a first date

Have you tried building furniture out of 2x4s?

Seriously, keep plugging, keep working on being the best person to yourself you can be, and it will happen.

14

u/Buster_Fella 1d ago

Yeah, it is rough, especially with how sweet Mr. Dresscode's girlfriend was. It's worrying too, like there's some invisible problem or evil mindset that's causing it, even when you think you're a good person, look good, etc... 

13

u/EarhornJones 1d ago

Control what you can control. Don't worry about things that you can't.

Live your life and take a genuine interest in your fellow humans. Be the bet you that you can be (by your standards, and nobody else's).

Maybe it'll help you find someone. Maybe it'll help you just be happy being you.

I made it through my late 20's with no serious relationships. I finally gave up on finding someone, and just started doing the things that I wanted to do, and making myself happy.

I've been married to the most wonderful woman in the world for well over 20 years (and I'm far from a "catch").

Best of luck, fellow traveler.

I think it depends on the situation. I have turned down women who I wasn't attracted to before. It's not that I think I'm a 10/10 or I deserve a "hottie", but we can't help who we are attracted to. These women were nice and we got along well, but I felt no spark. It would have been a disservice both to me and them to make romantic gestures and pretend I was in love when I wasn't feeling it. I guess the difference it I'm pretty realistic about myself, and don't mind being single. It's been pretty nice and peaceful, actually.

Most of Reddit is kids who don’t understand not everything is black and white. You can be attracted to someone but not find them the most attractive out there.

She doesnt have to be rich, she just needs enough to pay her own expenses.

A tale as old as time. Men are allowed to be mid or ugly in a relationship but women arent.

Men will only date beautiful women when it comes to long term relationships while women are more than okay to give ugly men a chance

4

u/Raevar 1d ago

Statistics from dating websites don't back this claim up.

Obviously there are those that go against the trends, but for the most part, what is seen is that men are more likely to give a chance to a significantly larger range of attractiveness than women.

While I'm sure you'll argue that this only applies to "short-term" dating, most long term relationships start from there, and it should surprise no one that humans, male or female, wish to be attracted to their partners.

The real issue is based on two factors:

  1. Social media has warped the perspectives of both men and women - showing attractiveness and lifestyles that are only obtainable by the 1%, while making everyone desire it.

  2. This follows from the above, but most people don't have an objective understanding of their own attractiveness or social standing, and believe they deserve someone that is essentially out of their league. This is unsustainable unless the number of people who are okay with getting with someone below their league is equivalent, which it's not.

Valid point, I just fear that the internet has broken a lot of brains and convinced some people that you should only go after 10s no matter what (even if you happen to be a 6).

The social status signaling of having a hotty on your arm can push a lot of people to ignore those are are not as typically beautiful, but whom they could have amazing relationships with.

3

u/Yashema 1d ago edited 1d ago

Even your comment is perpetuating the problem. A 6 means top 40% of attractiveness, so less than half of people. 

The real problem is that 4s and 5s only want 6s and 7s or higher and they become convinced, especially when it comes to men, that they can get more attractive women if they just improve themselves.

Chicken and egg. It's one of those frustrating situations where talking about it is frowned upon, because people don't openly talk about it. And people don't openly talk about it because it's frowned upon.

And you know, sad truth is dating is built on leaving things unsaid. At least that's my assessment, anyways.

11

u/Accidental_Irony 1d ago

I hear you, and I’ll admit I was mostly just being a snarky bitch.

I haven’t dated in a few years, but I definitely feel like MORE openness and willingness to talk about these uncomfortable topics during the dating process was a big part of how my now-wife and I knew we were right for each other.

One thing I’ve seen a lot of is “love of love”, for lack of a better phrasing. People - both men and women that I met - seem like they’re dating to find a person who is attractive and they can tolerate being with as opposed to actually finding a whole-ass partner to tackle life with. I’m sure that for those people, leaving things unsaid DOES help with sustaining that tolerance.

yeah, that's really the issue: a lot of incels (not all) kind of have this attitude that they're in some special, oppressed category because they don't have the same dating experiences as everyone else; but "being cut-off from dating models" is a universal experience, unless you are also a model.

At some point you have to explain to people "you're not hooking up with the girls on instagram, especially if you're the sort of person who just stares at girls on instagram.

It’s only annoying if you’re also decidedly not hot.

You want to be attracted to your partner, yes, but you have to remember that your partner wants to be attracted to you. So if you don’t shower, don’t work out or eat well, and/or don’t dress well, then you’re being hypocritical and no one wants to hear your complaints.

u/JudgmentalOwl 1d ago

The only one that can get you out of this loop is yourself, but it's no shame asking for help. In the end, it remains your life, your challenge, but professional help goes a long way.

And a partner usually doesn't fix depression long-term anyway, it's more of a distraction from your problems than a fix, with the risk of affecting people you care about - which also doesn't feel great. At least that's my experience in that regard.

You cant fix autism

u/quiteUnskilled 1d ago

Yea, I guess there are some severe cases that need living assistance and can barely hold a conversation on the very far end of the spectrum. If you belong to this lot, I guess you may be shit outta luck. I hope you can at least count really well or something.

If you're not, stop making excuses and just try to be a decent person that's somewhat nice to look at. Who cares if you have autism.

u/Obatala_ 1d ago

Welll yeah. And the people you’re attracted to are allowed to not be attracted to you. And you don’t get to complain that NO ONE is into you, if what you mean is “no one who I find sexy enough is into me."

Phew, good thing it's the guy saying that, if you swapped things around people would call you an incel.

There are a bunch of internet 4's who think they're 9's. lol

"Why can't I get dates? I don't get it."

Because you don't know what lane you're in.

u/Independent-Couple87 1d ago

Those numbers mean absolutely nothing. Dating Leagues are an absurd concept created by and for vain and shallow people.

A dude who wanted to date me off hand commented that he was an 8 or a 9. And all I can say is "uh huh" while trying to keep a straight face. I don't think my standards are unfair, and he is kinda wealthy, but even if we add all that up, I would say he was a 6 at most. Of course, I didn't say anything. That was more than decade ago.

These days, reddit even has rate me subs. I feel like it's the best way to ruin your self-esteem.

u/Blacksad9999 1d ago

I think the internet messed up people's ability to gauge where they're at in the pecking order.

I've seen a lot of young guys who think they deserve an 8 or 9, but they don't bring a lot to the table in comparison. If they were hanging out in social groups offline more, they'd get a better sense of where they actually land in reality.

Hope if I ever meet someone I genuinely connect with, something inside me won't turn shallow. Everyone has standards but the worry mine are too high.

Is that broccoli hair?

Of course they would be saying this

3

u/flargenhargen 1d ago

The fact that they would say that, shows why they're single even if they're good looking.

I'm ugly AF, at least most days, and I've dated waaaaay above my league because as an ugly person, I was forced to develop a good personality, and as a dude, that works even better than good looks on some women. (I do think men are more shallow than women, in general, though there are exceptions.) If you want someone to like you, the key is always to make them feel happy when they're around you, put their feelings before your own. (it's not the only thing that matters, but it's a big one.)

But in the end, most people always want to go for Mary Jane, when Ursula right there making them cookies and they don't even see it.

People are dumb and don't even understand what they want.

I wish women were that forward. None that I've been around were ever that forward, usually it's veiled through hints to get you to make the first move while maintaining plausible deniability.

u/Atticussky151 1d ago

So women are incels? Considering this is 100% gendered the wrong way according to studies…. When they asked men if they found a women with 80% of the attributes they wanted men said that’s a catch, when asked the other way women said that was settling. Because women have been delusions into thinking they are all queens who get 10’s. Lol

u/Jiehfeng 1d ago
