donatella 5,801 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Does anyone else have horrible luck with men? I mean some people seem to fall in love so easy and I seem to fall for tools! I'm 31, have a good job, look after my looks and body, dress well and am not totally nutty (although I have my moments lol), why the Fark do I have a d*ckhead radar on. I have tried internet, tinder (don't even let me tell you about my meet up yesterday). im actually not fussed about finding someone I don't try that hard but I fear my age is against me and I'm destined to have horrible luck. Gone are the good old fashioned days of gentlemen. Sorry this is a bit of a rant but I'm feeling a bit deflated today angel81, newbie88, GlitterGal and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

inde12 18 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 I think you need to fine tune your dickhead radar if you keep attracting them... I used to date.. A lot! Lol, but you have to make men date you as in don't just go to their house and hang out, I know it's the more casual way to do things but that's the number one way to end up in the wrong relationship because it's the easiest way to do just that. I used to do the two date rule, first date go out and have fun with them and see if there chemistry and a natural like of each other, at the end of the date assess are they good enough for date two if they are date two is the time to suss out their values and if there is potential for date three or a relationship if there are any concerns shut them down and date someone else. I was called ruthless for this but it worked for me - my relationship is by no means perfect but I'm happy and have a great mate. If your not fussed about finding someone though I say just take some time out and yes go on the bachelor. Also you don't want kids so who cares about age xxx brooke2927 and newbie88 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beautiboo 12 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 sometimes, you gotta kiss a few frogs before you find your prince don't worry girl, i am sure you'll find the one..but in the mean time, don't focus on men! focus on yourself I always find that when you know what you want, and you're confident and happy..the men come running! they see radiance and glow you give off. So give yourself some time, and enjoy your life. Ljack 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
libby1 20 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Dont give up hope. I was 29 when I met my hubby. I think when u stop looking they find you. He is out there. Maybe the universe has more for you to achieve before you settle down. From what I can see yr stunning and have a good career so u need wait for the right man to fit into that.

Don't worry Inde I never ever go to their house for a date, as soon as they say "dvds at mine" I laugh and tell them to pull the other one! I guess it is easy to weed the wankers from the genuine ones but I tell you what I'm not sure how much more I can take. All my friends and family are coupled up I am the last and only single in my group. I am the eldest child of 4 and the only single. I'm in no hurry as I would rather save myself or mr right then mr right now but farrrk this dating thing wears you down after about 15 years haha newbie88, Ljack and Jules76 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh believe me I'm kissing my fair share of frogs....toads, tadpoles and whatever other bottom feeders are swimming around the bottom of the pond LOL I am pretty good at being single and have been for most of my life but i do miss some man time and fighting the aging process in the meantime. I think I need to go older, as in 35-40 to get the same values as me Dont give up hope. I was 29 when I met my hubby. I think when u stop looking they find you. He is out there.

HarlowAudrey 15 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 I like the initial love bubble- you know you like each other and the sparks are flying and you find the other persons annoying habits endearing and not irritating Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moonstonerain 11 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 I have the exact same problem, starting to wonder what's wrong with me. I'm 30, have always been a single parent, would love another, but seem to only attract dickheads. I have tried every dating site around just to meet new people, have finally given up and not even interested in guys now because of how badly I get treated by them. So know how you feel :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
donatella 5,801 Posted November 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 That's a shame and I'm sure it's not you it's them. I think the biggest hurdle these days is the amount of temptation with dating sites, they play the field on them and don't need to settle down until they're well and truly ready. Well that's my belief, it's so easy to have 5 girls on the go with the internet linking people whereas women (especially with kids) crave more long term and connection. Don't be put off kazzas story is a glimpse of light in the dark ronrey tunnel lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
