The last lvm I dated (before I discovered FDS) basically told me that he likes my personality and my personal qualities but I'm not 'conventionally attractive' and if he could get with a hotter version of me he'd replace me.

I dont really know where I'm going wrong because I put a lot of effort into my appearance but it doesnt seem to do much. I personally think I look good and other women compliment me sometimes. Men never are attracted to my looks and the only compliments I ever get are that I look athletic and healthy (I have that body type naturally and do a lot of outdoor sports). I have a really good career, financial stability, have lots of hobbies, have close friends and family etc and I would consider myself to be a hvw. However it is heartbreaking to never be described as beautiful and I cant help but wondering if that guy was right? Would a hvm just approach someone with the same qualities as me but is better looking than me?
