Honestly, I don’t really understand why some women feel desperate for men (even though I very much respect it, because that includes all of my friends). In my experience, it has always been the opposite. In every relationship I’ve had, and even with most guys I’ve dated casually, they end up becoming very attached to me and not the other way around. Even years later, some of them still reach out, sometimes while they’re already in relationships, saying they would leave everything if I suddenly became interested in them or that they’re still thinking about me, and similar things. I’ve never replied to anything like that, but I also don’t like blocking people. I wouldn’t even describe myself as exceptionally beautiful. I’d say I’m pretty, but not conventially beautiful. That’s why I’ve been trying to understand what exactly attracts men so much, because I’d actually like to help my friends who are always looking unlike me. I know everybody has their own aspirations and men aren’t mine for the time being (I’m not a lesbian btw… ) I’m 28, very open-minded, and completely independent. I have a career I’m genuinely passionate about and that I hope will change people’s lives, and I could easily spend all day working or talking about work because I truly enjoy it. I support myself entirely, have my own car, and I’ve traveled alone to several countries, which is something I plan to keep doing. Wherever I go, someone will ALWAYS try to hit on me, even though I honestly try to avoid that kind of attention, or even if I try to be invisible. I also speak five languages and study every day, even while working. I’ve even had very wealthy men offer to buy me a house, and I turned that down too. I just don’t care about anything I can’t achieve on my own. I could buy a house with my own money so I don’t think of these offers as being particularly attractive. I know I can build whatever I want in life, as long as I have my health. I sometimes feel like I might never meet someone who truly matches my energy or makes me want to settle down. To be totally honest, men bore me after a while. It’s not that I don’t believe in relationships but perhaps I just haven’t met someone who feels like an equal yet. I love my life, I love what I do, and I genuinely love who I am. Does being too full of yourself prevent you from finding the love your life? What do men really think about girls like me? submitted by /u/Mediocre_Blueberry15
