NO YOU ARE NOT TOO PICKY. like unless you have astronomically high expectations that are unfeasible for the amount of effort you give back, never think that‼️ i used to not be picky in dating at all and holy christ the amount of men i dated who were UGLY and had TERRIBLE personalities were a plenty,,, YOU NEED TO BE PICKY!! know your WORTH!!

I don’t think they are that high. It just seems most women don’t fulfill it

let me emphasize my point of “unfeasible for the amount of effort you give back”, you’re only going to get what you put in my dude. know your worth, quite literally, as in be aware of how good/bad you are for other people as well!

I mean I’m not “desperate” but I am incredibly unfulfilled, even with many hobbies and things to do

I think I’m pretty good to people and care a lot, patient and a good listener and so on. I give tons of effort I just have never really had a friend or someone else give it back

hey so you shouldn’t depend on a romantic relationship to make you feel fulfilled my dude… that leads to unhealthy codependency. you should be happy with your friends, platonic relationships, support system, yourself etc, before you get into a relationship

I don’t want a partner to fulfill me but it does feel like a piece is missing when I have days straight of no one to talk to

I mean what else am I supposed to do? I don’t feel like it’s that unreasonable and I can’t just date or fuck someone if I don’t wanna be with them

Oh yeah you do you man I’m just saying. Men aren’t allowed to be picky unless you are in the top 5%

I mean I’m not picky on looks much, really only face is what makes me physically attractive to someone, they can be bigger or smaller idc. It’s mostly personality I’m picky on

you’re allowed to be “picky” if you’re looking for something that’ll last and stay healthy. too many people have awful personalities and staying away from them is better than just getting with anyone. regardless of gender

True but I’m saying in terms of looks and in general, women can be picky
