BronzedSkin123 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Does anyone have a pattern of always attracting people that they never find attractive? I've probably had one or two situations where I was attracted to a guy who found me attractive. The majority of the men that are attracted to me, I am simply not interested in at all. If he likes me, chances are, I don't like him physically nor his personality. It's gotten quite frustrating. I thought about giving this one guy a chance, but I'd end up distressed because he is really not what I want and I'd take it out on him. I'm just not happy. Link to comment
LightbulbSun Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I have this problem on dating sites. It seems like the people I email who I'm attracted to never write me back, and every single person who views my profile is either out of my age range (as in 40 and up) or she's (in my opinion) unattractive. I don't understand it, I'm not that bad looking, and I don't see why only people who I find unattractive look at my profile. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 why don't you try and talk to guys you like? you will never get away from people you don't find attractive approaching. Link to comment
BronzedSkin123 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 why don't you try and talk to guys you like? you will never get away from people you don't find attractive approaching. The ones I like are usually taken or not that interested in me. I used to be so jealous of my friend, she always got to date the hottest guy at work or at school, they were usually very popular and had a pretty active social life. And she always got the type of guy that she wanted, the ones she found to be very attractive. Me on the other hand, I always have to settle for somebody that is just not what I really want. Either he's too short, too quiet, not funny enough, not cute enough for me. I'm just with them because I'm lonely. I never feel happy or fulfiled though. Link to comment
Unknown1607307972 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I just seem to attact either people I'm not into or people in other countries, which is why I keep having these LDRs! Link to comment

I'd rather be alone too... 98% of men who have approached me, I am NOT attracted too. 2% of them Im attracted...actually it might be lower than even 2%...lol I aint easy pleased....

BronzedSkin123 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 are those the guys you want? are you like that? like attract like a lot of the time... Well, yeah, those kind of guys seem fun to be around. But no, I'm not that outgoing and have never been popular. But I always wanted to be apart of the crowd and date those kind of guys Link to comment
pinkelephant Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 uhm, i just say i'm not interested or they aren't my type. it's not that hard. ya, like.. get over yourself. i mean, i'm not perfect, i've done this before to my last bf. i was only with him to get over the previous one. then i realized how selfish it is. other people have feelings too. yours are not the only one that matter. ](*,) Link to comment
Nixee Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I feel for you... I get approached by a lot of guys that I'm not attracted to either, and it is frustrating. On top of that, I finally go for a guy I'm attracted to and find mutual attraction and over and over things don't work out it seems. But ya know what? I STILL say don't settle. Bleh. Just can't do it. Finding something that works is difficult, but please stop selling yourself short. If you aren't attracted to someone, don't force it. And if you are... take it one step at a time. If it were easy... these boards probably wouldn't exist haha Link to comment

FortunateOne Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 you know, there's a saying that "we often find or end up with those who are just like us" people are mere reflections of us how we see ourselves thru others... I agree... There are many old cliches that could shed some light on the reason you attract certain types. I suggest you audit your personal traits that attract those you find repulsive. Maybe the crowed you belong to caters to the men you dislike. This revealing introspective journey can force some changes and social habits that will attract the men you want. Link to comment
iLiveWithMyMom Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Even though I'm sure Bronze will disagree with me for the sake of disagreeing with me (lol j/k), I think I know how she feels. I have an unsolicited tendency to get hit on by women much younger than me or women that are not my body-type. Every once in awhile is fine, but when it becomes routine, your self-esteem can take a dive because you begin to wonder what the heck is wrong with you. lol. Link to comment
