This is an actual conversation I had with a guy friend regarding why I can’t get a date. Please, I know not all guys think like this, but I really need someone to restore my faith in men. And, no, I would not sleep with, date or be in a relationship with this guy before he said this and now I feel pretty justified.

Him: Honestly sometime u sound so harsh on yourself

Me: Not harsh. Realistic.

Him: Whatever it is, it just sucks

Me: I am smart. I am funny. I am creative. I am good with kids. I love animals. I like sports. I like movies. I like reading. I'm not possessive. I have an averagely attractive face, my boobs are fantastic and I have a cute arse. Is any of that a lie?

Him: Nope

Me: So, it's ok and you believe me when I say all of that but not when I say that I am essentially unable to attract a man who wants a relationship?

Him: I think you do scare them with your high ethical standards and who ever is honest with u on first place won't b even able to get on dating u

Me: I scare them off because I don't want to date someone who thinks it's ok to cheat on their partner? You're probably right. There are no men on the face of the planet who hold that same belief. I should just give up.

Him: I think

Me: So, we're agreed that I'm never dating ever again, than men are shit, and I'm better off staying they hell away from all of them.

~ end of conversation ~

Please! Please, please, please tell me there are decent blokes out there still. Are any of them single?

@nona80_swanette the path is rocky for both side. Right there with ya

@triedge oh, I get that. Just frustrating because he only wants me to give up on dating so I’ll have no other choice than him, and be so desperate that I’ll drop my standards to be with him. It sucks even more because of it weren’t for the fact that he’s such a cad, he’d be quite a decent boyfriend for someone. He’ll never change, though, and neither will I.

@nona80_swanette yeah I was kinda feeling that vibe. Low blow tactic IMO

@triedge quite a common tactic, unfortunately.

@nona80_swanette imagine someone pretty much summing up a marriage as it was just your turn to be with them. That was a fun one.
