Are dating and relationships supposed to be this difficult
Posted : 2 Jan, 2025 10:31 PM

I've unfortunately been feeling pretty down about not being able to find someone to date and settle down with. Some days, I don't mind at all like it completely slips my mind. It is very hard though when you see everyone getting engaged around you but you.



One of my best friends has been married for about 9 years. I just learned that my other best friend got engaged this past year. I don't know what it is about me but no one seems to want to even embark on anything with me. I don't understand why. I find myself very positive, nice to be around, adventurous, and down-to-earth. I like a lot of different activities and such if they would just give me the chance.



I've gone on dates where men just want physical, they are silent, or they just don't want to put any effort in. I do want to get married but can't achieve that if everyone hates me. Should I just give up or put myself more out there or what?

Dating shouldn't be hard but women hold most of the cards when it comes to choosing who they want to date. The US is full of great guys, but most of them are invisible to most women. So if you're having trouble finding a good guy it's likely because you're making poor choices and/or turning off the men that would be a good choice.

Men require so little from women and yet most women can't even meet the least of a man's expectations. Although looks are the first thing that men notice, after that it's her personality that comes into play. Men's requirements may be few, but that doesn't make them stupid and more and more are wising up to the futility of putting up with modern women and their feminist ways.

HazelEyesSparkel I said this before and I will say it again. If you're having trouble finding a good man it's because of what you're doing. To put it simply. You're not doing what men find attractive because if you were you would have so many that you would have to run the excess men off with a stick. Just to be clear! Online attention doesn't count, only in person interactions do, so if you meet someone in person and he doesn't want to see you again? Then it's you and not him.

LD there's a lot of truth in what you just said. While the wisdom that men accumulate with age helps them to better deal with life. Many women on the other hand just seem to become more damaged.

That’s right, the old adage: “so old so soon, so wise so late”, hit me pretty hard. I even wonder if the “…so wise so late, applies 🫣🥺

Maybe it's not God's timing right now...You seem like a normal nice looking young lady. Don't be surprised if you do not find anyone on this sight. I would say put yourself out there more if you think you are not doing that enough. You could ask your friends if they know of anyone. You might have to travel a little. Don't settle!

Settle? For a woman to settle she would have to bring more to the relationship table than a man and that's almost never the case. There was a time when relationships were more equal, but that was back when women were a good helper to men. Unfortunately modern women are far from being good helpers to men. They are now almost pure extractors from what men bring. Society, feminism, weak men and other women prop up the idea that women are the prize when in fact it's men who are the prize and it's men who have to settle, but men are okay with doing so.

As far as it not being God's time for her. God's time for women is when they're most fertile. Modern society lies to women by telling then to put off raising a family and get an education and then go out into the work force. Unfortunately that lie cost women precious child bearing time that they will never get back. Most women's ability to have children is gone by the age of 35.

So the way I see it is you're giving HazelEyesSparkle terrible advice because she has only a few years left if any to be able to have children.

@Handyman, it sounds like you have been burned far too many times, I understand some of what you are saying about the modern women but to put all of the women in that category is a little abhorrent.

@freetobe Thank you for your kind advice! That's interesting what you said about traveling, that might help a bit. I think I just have to take each day and keep a positive mindset. And you're right, might not be my timing
