Hi everyone! My first post here, but a long time reader.

I’ve been feeling really down lately so wanted to get some advice. I’m 30F. I’ve always been naturally RP, and left a relationship start of 2021 as he didn’t share my more traditional views. We had different values.

Since then I’ve made a huge effort to maximise my appearance and to be very social. I’ve lost weight so now US size 4. Instead very feminine and classy. I get my hair, lashes, nails done regularly. Long skincare routine. Getting plenty of sleep and eating healthy. Even got a tiny bit of Botox to correct childhood frown lines. I actually feel great and pleased with my appearance.

I’ve also become involved with several social clubs relating to my hobbies, so I’m literally out all the time. I meet many people but I just feel like I’m not meeting any men who share my values, or they are overlooking me.

As it’s been about 12 months of doing this, I’m feeling very disheartened, and wonder if I’m just wasting my time and effort.

I’ve tried apps briefly but the men were giving me such feminine energy I’ve put more effort into meeting men in real life. But alas, I’m seeing zero results.

Can anyone relate or give me some guidance? I feel like giving up on ‘love’ or ever settling down.
