Lemmy

Now try finding someone you find attractive and who also finds you attractive in return (it’s impossible).
Honestly if you lower your standards it gets pretty easy.

People say this all the time, but I’ve never really understood it. You can’t help who you are attracted to. Do a lot of people just have relationships with people they don’t find attractive?

I don’t find like 99.9999% of people attractive. So I never really bothered attempting to date. The few times I tried, it felt awkward and bad that I couldn’t reciprocate what the other person felt. It felt like lying and I’m not really sure what I was supposed to be getting out of something like that.

Legitimately curious.
