Even if you are chopped a lot of women who have high standards just want to be treated like a human being and that they are actually loved. You’re complaining about looks when take a moment to look at your personality and wonder if that is the reason why.

Well I am single and looking so I can tell you something that gave me the ick. You calling women chopped isn’t getting you any favors. If you're looking for people to date, maybe don't be rude to them

I think it stems from your view of a relationship as a goal to accomplish, a transaction. You’re coming at it with an expectation, as opposed to allowing things to progress naturally. Take interest in hearing about a girl’s day, show up with consistency and intentionality, but don’t ONLY do it with her. Do it with everyone in your life, and that kind of care radiates. Pick up a hobby for YOU, maybe refresh your wardrobe if you can. You need to decentralize the idea of dating

Then why are you so upset. You’re choosing to not date until you find someone you like (as you should) but that’s your choice, just like all the women staying single of their own choice, so how you gonna be mad

Might as well be chopped then since you don’t have a good personality either. Like chose a battle bro. I’d rather an ugly little freak with a standout personality than some mid dude with the charisma of wet cardboard

That’s on you to figure out then. Posting this shit isn’t gonna make anyone wanna date you or make all the women who are single by choice suddenly question their decisions. If anything they’re just gonna see this and think “thank goodness I’m choosing to be single”

By becoming more sure of who YOU are, the things that YOU like, it gives you healthy outlets to explore and build confidence. That has a ripple effect. It sounds counterintuitive, but the best thing you can do is maybe see a therapist, go back to school, start a new hobby… grow YOURSELF.
