OP being delusional is not an accusation, but a feedback.

She can use photofeeler as well to get a rating (as a 40 year old successful, average looking guy I usually get about 7 even though I'm trying to take care of myself, and I definitely wouldn't describe myself as handsome when I ask for dating advice).

I'm starting to accept that I can't find a person to marry at this point in my life, I should have done it at 30 when I had the perfect partner for it, but I was immature.




Thanks for trying to explain or clarify your position.

For you my friend, please read this:

As a guy, your clock hasn't run out yet! If you're a 7, and a genuinely nice / generous / loving / honest / emotionally mature person, don't give up! There are fewer "good" men out there than you may realize, you're actually a hot commodity.


The difference is that once men get past 30 and testosterone starts tapering off the desire to enter relationships drops off a cliff too.

Looking back at what I put up with in my teens and 20s I'd rather be celibate. Short of testosterone injections to get me back to how horny I was then I don't see that changing.


Companionship no longer seems alluring or appealing? Sorry to hear it, that sounds rough.


Companionship is fine, it's the expected maintenance burden that isn't.
