I liked the fact that they were outliers.
Attractive men who didn't know that they were attractive.
And appreciated and saw my intelligence.
And socially awkward, so I felt I had something to bring to the relationship and that I wouldn't have to compete too hard for them, like they'd be nicely tucked behind their computer away from other women to steal from me.
And very data-driven, scientific-minded, so I felt confident their caring meant something - and that they were honest, not manipulative.
And that my ability to present myself well and emotional intelligence was something of value to them, that they admired.
You answered the thing you feared to answer elsewhere :) Or perhaps there's more?
A lot of this makes sense. This seems consistent with my understanding of who you are. If your assessment of them was accurate, I'm surprised they left so readily. This makes me wonder what the 12 or so second dates would say.
I wonder if this suggests there were men you were even more interested in who you didn't go out with again because they seemed too perfect, because you felt you wouldn't be good enough.
