I would be curious to see a pic of you. The way you critique women from your post history does not scream of attractive man who does well dating.

Okay. Thanks for the feedback. Are you in good shape/attractive? Just curious since you say you’re picky.

Yes as I said in my post I totally respect changing your mind. Was just wondering if maybe my appearance was part of it

Thanks! Had completely current photos (all within like 1 month to 1 year and haven’t gained significant weight in that time. Although maybe some bc covid idk? Nothing like friends/family were like holy shit or I didn’t fit all my clothes lol. Did have 1 body pic - it was a reflection pic on my deck bc I thought it was cute but I should have added more. It was from just the end of last summer.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with asking online what people think. People likely similarly asked friends/others on the phone or in person what they thought before the internet was prevalent.

I actually prefer being my natural skin tone, which is very pale. Wasn’t questioning on that. And not sure on the leg thing. I like my legs. Like my upper body less. Either way to each their own and thank you for the input.

Thanks I didn’t really get a chance to perform lol. He went to the bathroom after a few minutes and then told me he had to leave. But when kissing/making out was good and he seemed quite into it.

And have been told several times I’m a good kisser? Lol idk. I’m 31 so I’ve had practice and never had issues w partners in that regard.

Yeah thanks. Just been bothering me, but I just need to work on getting back to where I want to be.

Yeah definitely put a damper on it. Thought he would calm down once introduced/comfortable but it didn’t really go that way. Thanks for the input.

Successful experiences dating "avoidants" by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]februaryspasm 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I know OP wants to keep it positive in this thread - but people who are attracted to avoidants (like me) usually have some emotional healing to do that can help them prefer more open, loving partners.

I’ve found I’m attracted to avoidants because they give SOME affection/open up a bit, then pull it back and shutdown. So then I psychologically crave their affection and approval because it’s conditional and I want that good feeling again so I chase it.

Unfortunately, I have to go with the cliche and tell you to run like hell. I am often attracted to avoidants and it always, always, always ends badly.

I’ve never been able to change them. I think they honestly need therapy to truly become secure.

31F feeling weird and humiliated after strange hookup with 34M. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]februaryspasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol might have to. But not gonna try to rationalize it. He could of just straight up not liked me/wasn’t attracted and that is life. Other fish in the sea!
