I am 27, working on my weight (need to lose 10–15 kg, down 5 kg so far). I dress femininely (sundresses), cook, am educated, and am focused on becoming a good wife and mother. The only things I’m “missing” are being conventionally hot or easy to sleep with.
I’m on the dating apps and I get matches, but it’s nearly impossible to get someone’s real personality out of them. Most interactions feel like job interviews. I don’t get asked out often it’s just endless “wyd” chats. In-person options are limited since I live in a very introverted country, so “just join a club” is not an option.
Main issue: Most men I meet have the personality of plain flour. It’s rare to find a man who both intellectually stimulates me and knows how to flirt. I only wanna get with a man that inspires me.
Dating track record:
- First relationship at 23 (4 years) — replaced me with a “newer model” despite constantly talking marriage.
- Five-month relationship — lied by omission about not wanting marriage.
- Three-month relationship — love bombed me, lied by omission (wanted marriage/kids but his family would never allow dating outside their culture).
- Four-month relationship — love bombed me (“I want our daughter to be just like you”) and ghosted.
At this point, is the best strategy just to keep playing the numbers game on the apps until a man proves himself? Or should I focus more heavily on an alternative strategy for meeting men who are serious about marriage and family? Any advice is appreciated.
