I have never been so confused in my life. I’m person I get the prettiest girls. Dating in uni was never an issue. But now that I’m graduated I’m more dependent on online dating. But it’s literally dead.

I’ve had like 5 dating apps for the last 6 months and had less than less than 10 likes across all apps. Less than 10 matches too.

I’ve watched countless videos on how to improve my profile and I’ve even gone out and taken some professional pictures, in fact these are the best pictures I’ve ever taken in my life.

I’ve literally tried so many different prompts too.

And when I finally get a match, the girls either ghost me, or have the biggest chip on there shoulder.

My friend is a straight up femboy (but he’s straight). And he gets more matches than me from his profile. He dresses like a Japanese schoolgirl. Like WTF. I’m seeing guys worse off than me get more matches.

I’ve asked everyone, all my friends and people across different subreddits and they’re all confused as to why I’m not getting matches (they’ve seen my pictures). Anyone I’ve ever talked to, like ex’s, friends, people online, even ChatGPT says that I’m a 7-8/10 looks wise. So I know I’m not ugly. My physique is above average, my grooming is great, my style and aesthetic is great too.

Everyone keeps asking how my dating apps are doing and they get confused when I tell them. Like no one’s ever seen likes that low.

To this day I’ve never gotten a date from a dating app.

I’m 5’5” btw, but even when i round my height to 5’7” I get the same result.

It seems as tho girls admire me but want nothing to do with me until i go up to them and create rapport. Make me feel super insecure, and when i do meet a girl irl it makes me question whether she actually likes me.

I’ve gotten better results just sliding into random girls dm’s and my instagram has the same pictures as my dating apps. I currently just deleted all my dating apps.

All my friends from uni are getting married and are hard to meet, and any attempt I make to start a new social circle doesn’t really go anywhere. People just don’t want anything to do with me unless they see me everyday and make the effort to get to know me.

My only way to actually meet girls looks to be cold approach and just going up to random girls and talking to them.
