It’s because you don’t like yourself and once someone shows interest in you, you lose interest in them because you think “how could she like a loser like me, must not be that great of a gal”

I think he just like validation from stranger because they go after what they see and not your personality

You're shooting too low. Aim for women that you're actually attracted to instead of settling for the ones that you think you can get without much of a challenge.
Your problem is common with guys who are going for the low hanging fruit because you're actually afraid of getting rejected by the women that are actually attractive to you.

Do you feel like you don't deserve her?
[–]Fit_Locksmith_7795 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I dont know, I cant answer this question really. I dont know what I feel

It's a common cause for what you describe. You're going to have to dig deep and figure this stuff out. Therapy might help.

Tbh I see so many things in me to change and work on that I sometimes guess I have not enough life for it heh. Thanks for responses, I guess you could be right

Love is one of the biggest goals in most people's lives. This is a direct blocker for love in your life.

At least you have a good sense of humor. Which is important. Congratulations.
Maybe I have a similar something. I achieve something, in work, compny, bussiness, and when I reached my goal in about 1 year I look for a new challenge. So you and I maybe are more in for the way to our goal then for being there. I "m honest, I have tht in live with severl things, but not in relations. But I noticed too that the older I got (I 'm pensionado) I/m loosing that behavior.
Too I think the thought and advice of RonnieLibra .... (I copy it here) ..... Aim for women that you're actually (and really) attracted to instead. From me is the fat (black) supplement.
I'm sure when you really fall in love it will be different.
Wish you good lick, wisedom and a loving relation.

Are you a naturally shy/anxious person?
[–]Fit_Locksmith_7795 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Yeah :/
[–]snowdude11 4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Maybe its fear of the unknown/rejection/vulnerability? I know in my experience, I have a lot of self-hate and when a girl shows interest, I am subconsciously worried she may get to know the "real me" and not like what she sees. Subconsciously, I reject her before she gets the chance to reject me. I am really working hard to get past that mental block and let people into my life. Idk, just my experience. Hope it helps
[–]Juan7797 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
you have to learn to know not to care even if shes sees the real you.

Nothing. Anything that is easy isn't valued. Men prefer a challenge.

[–]AegisNeymare 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Hmmm, you should maybe find out if its a fetish or low self esteem before you get together with someone. If it is a fetish, that is probably fine, that can be communicated to other people, but if its low self esteem than that is something to work on for you.

You may have an avoidant attachment style. Do you subconsciously fear abandonment and keep people at arms length? Is it likely that if she started showing no interest in you again, you’d start chasing her again/liking her?
[–]Fit_Locksmith_7795 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah its much possible i would
[–]princess199711 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Maybe this is about something to do with your childhood - usually the things that happen (no matter how big or small) when we’re a child or a teen can affect us subconsciously in adult life (assuming you’re over 18 now). Could be a self esteem issue like someone else suggested. Could be that you’re punishing yourself for something so you pull away from these women. Or they just genuinely don’t tickle your fancy.

Do you like yourself? Do you feel more validation from someone who responds to your advances, than someone who picks you? Are you always yourself or do you behave differently in front of different people?
Do you have an issue with chubby women?
Sometimes I do, sometimes I dont. I am not sure, propably yes. Behave differently, but working on it. Explain this point with chubby girls, I guess some od them can be attractive too, but dont understand why u ask
[–]yeahoverhere 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This explains me so well.
All the relationships in my life have been superficial because of this.
Got 5 close friends from grade school but that’s about it. I’ll hangout with a girl once, (rarely twice), we’ll have a nice date, and then I’ll stop talking to her when she shows interest. I have 15 bodies but never had a girlfriend. I’ve officially shot down the idea that I’m going to be with somebody. I don’t even entertain it.
The funny thing is everyone thinks I’m a “player” but I live alone and don’t talk to anybody. I wake up, go to work, come home, and play video games or scroll on Reddit. No ones know this side of me.
