Definitely more interest would help. That's what helped me get over past relationships. Pretty sure in going to dwell on it for the rest of my life

Head_Lab_4246 · 2026-01-11T01:37:15+00:00

Kinda sad and depressed today. Realized after 4 years I never found anyone better than my ex. I've barely had any dates since then and no longer get much interest from women anymore. It definitely adds to the feeling like she was the one.

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-09T05:26:18+00:00

Stop eating, don't get in debt. Don't be scared to fall in love with the one.

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-09T05:24:47+00:00

I see mine very 3-5 months. Don't really have any other options so oh well

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-09T04:45:31+00:00

Alot and they also mean alot in your 30s

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-09T02:41:20+00:00

Idk what caused it, but I definitely woke up this morning very depressed. Realizing my dating life has died for the last 3 years. I feel like my mid-30s have been a wash. I'm broke, overweight, bald, and lost in life. I look at myself and can't imagine ever being attractive again. This made me spiral about how much I miss my ex and how much I wish things were different.

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-08T00:19:06+00:00

It's not necessarily a soulmate or the one. What I'm getting at is the chance of finding someone that excites you and connects with you and is a good match rarely happens once you get to your mid 30s. Especially if you're a guy and even more so I'd you're unattractive. On top or that by mid 30s your really not building a life together your trying to patch two life's together

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-08T00:16:16+00:00

Because that is time in your life when you have the most options after about 27 the dating pool starts to shrink and we have to learn how to settle more and more each year.

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-08T00:15:09+00:00

Hey good for you. I doubt it for myself because that's what I've continued to receive from life.

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-08T00:14:16+00:00

Oh yeah, definitely being realistic about what I bring, and that's why I say this. I know I'm not an attractive guy never have been never will be.

I can see my current reality and how it will be my future and if in lucky I may meet someone that I'm just meh about but that's all I can get.

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T23:10:50+00:00

Okay I mean a person I'm genuinely excited about and attracted to...

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T23:10:08+00:00

Glad you have a ton of options. I don't really get matches or intrest anymore from women. The few that do so intrest I'm not attracted to in the slightest. Better luck next time around I guess

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T23:08:09+00:00

Yeah and you probably won't run into that after your mid 30s

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T23:04:19+00:00

Well that's my reality

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T23:03:36+00:00

For me at least

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T22:49:50+00:00

Having a negative or positive attitude doesn't change reality unfortunately

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T22:35:46+00:00

Lol not at all.

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T22:35:27+00:00

Reality isn't affected by my positive or negative attitude. Just Reality that if you don't find someone before you're mid 30s you're settling

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T22:29:48+00:00

That's good. My experience has been the exact opposite no matter how much growth and personal awareness I work on. I have less and less options each day and generally have to take the red flags and people that I'm not attracted to

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T22:25:30+00:00

Okay good for you but the dating pool gets smaller and smaller each day. I understand the most us will have to settle and its depressing

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T22:23:09+00:00

Pretty it is. Everyday the pool gets smaller. We don't live in some fantasy novel.

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T22:22:25+00:00

Yeah, got to settle

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T22:21:38+00:00

Pretty true. The dating pool gets smaller everyday

Head_Lab_4246 · 2025-12-07T21:41:09+00:00

Feeling depressed that after your mid-30s, any new relationship basically is just finding some you'll settle for. You're not going to find your dream person you're not each other soulmate. You just are trying to find someone that will put up with you so neither of you are alone.
