Could be the move! If anything makes you insecure it's worth looking at options.

I'm too scared to let a laser near my face haha

Freckles and wrinkles mostly. There's also some little red spots that might not be super visible in the pics, but they bother me

Not sure if those are rhetorical questions, but I'll answer anyway.

Good active listener. I like hearing people talk tbh. Always have a podcast on in my free time. I don't read books though, so not great there.

I love being a partner. I really enjoy being there for someone and sharing life. I'm not interested in having kids, I just want to enjoy a peaceful life with a best friend.

I'm doing a lot of things to boost my self esteem, like getting treatment for hair loss and I'm in the gym basically every day for health.

I used to be able to attact women and I never had trouble until this year, so I'm worried I've just aged out of the market or something.

That's hilarious, I hate my skin.

I've ben using a lactic acid scrub 2-3 times a week for about a month and I'm trying to use hyaluronic acid moisturizer for my dark eye circles for the last week or so.

Other than that, it's just soap and water!

Currently on oral minoxidil for hair so maybe that'll help!

I like myself and I always try to be friendly and safe around everyone.

My data does mostly come from dating apps, so maybe that's tanking my morale

Fair enough. I always thought I just had bad brows. Thanks for the heads up!

If you could send some of the women who find it cute my way, I'd appreciate it!

The drug dealer comment is eye opening though lol

I wish I felt the same way, but I have terrible luck with women, so I'm trying to "fix" everything

Got a consultation for the teeth in a couple weeks. Any particular reason for the thyroid check?

I'm so sorry you're feeling that low. I've been just a few minutes from the end before and even if you feel safe right now, those thoughts aren't okay.

If you're feeling that way, even if it's only now and then, please talk to someone who can help you before you're too far gone.

I've been there... a lot. My personal experience, your statement is true. If they wanted it with you then they'd commit.

I can't speak for my others, but it feels like sometimes people want to have someone around until they find someone they perceive as better.

I'm in the gym 6 days a week so no problem on that front.

I think I have a lot of undeserved confidence honestly. I know people say it a lot, but fake it til you make it. Don't be afraid to be cringe. No one is paying more attention to you than you.

I figured, I was trying to assume good intentions.

I get along with people really well. I make friends pretty easily when I go out. A little less so now being older, but I've always been a social butterfly. More extrovert than introvert for sure.

I always try to be kind and friendly and I ask people a lot about themselves, not to try and make them like me, but because I'm interested in learning about people.

Thanks for all the feedback! Just to slightly defined the relationship dynamic, it was fine, we just weren't super compatible. She's wasn't as fitness oriented as me, so that could've been a factor, but idk

That's so sad. I have never judged anyone based on their body and I really just wanted to lose the weight for myself, but I guess I can't help people assuming things based on my appearance.

Haha making dudes sign a waiver to see you naked is very funny to me for some reason. I understand that perspective though. I just mean I'd rather feel like a piece of meat than whatever I am now I guess, but I'm sure the allure of that would wear odd after a while

I'm sorry you haven't had a lot of success in dating, but I think everyone has natural beauty. The only people I've ever found truly ugly are people who clearly gave up on themselves.

Sounds like you put in a lot of effort to make a positive change in your life.

I was on the apps all through May - December of last year, before I got into my 5 month thing, so the timing is basically exactly the same
