After dating for over a decade sleazy guys who were dishonest , withheld emotions , lazy in courtship, not witty , and some who stalked me and continue to message me despite me communicating I’m not interested, I feel really un interested in men now . ..but I still want to meet someone.
I’m funny, talented , well read and articulate .., I I have a very tender loving heart. I love animals and nurturing pets.
I feel so sad that I can’t meet someone who shares my desire for love.

I definitely feel like the quality of men on average is dropping and is continuing to drop so you’re not alone. I feel like women are going the other direction with being more independent and educated than ever before.
Same. Uninterested in the unappetizing food being served but also very hungry. Decided I’d rather starve than eat shit.
Men who are worth dating, also aren’t dating. I found men on the apps to be a waste of time. However, once in a while, in real life, I’d meet a cool guy. Sometimes they’d be married already, or in a relationship, but hey, at least they exist, even if they’re with someone else and likely will not be single again in this lifetime.
Very weird – I actually met someone who I respect and enjoy and we’re having a great time together. Totally unexpected but very welcome surprise!
Dating as an almost 38 year old woman is rough right now in the streets. None of these men know how to act. It’s obvious why they are single. I’m single because like you, I’ve dated morons. But the moron party is over. I’ve been dating around for the last year of being single and it’s embarrassing what these guys are doing out there. Rather just not be bothered at this point. I know I’ll meet someone worth my while but for now, I’m riding solo.
The men are…not ok. Many dates who dumped ex resentment or something disturbing on me 1st date if we even made it that far. The latest must not have anyone stick around long enough to have a story of his own but was happy to share the details of a friend’s bitter divorce.
On the second “date” he was condescending, impatient, and rage quit a videogame when I made us wipe (I’m mischievous). They all had lots of “I’m in therapy” “good guy” talk on their bios too, truly bizarre.
I don’t date.
These men would not submit themselves to the conditions we are dealing with. Why should we? Quit dating.
I don’t even know if weird is the word I would use to sum it up. I went on date a few weeks ago with a man a few years older than myself. He couldn’t even afford the bill yet kept talking to others about an expensive restaurant which was one of the three jobs he worked for allegedly. He was also getting quite a few dings on his phone as well throughout the night which I should have taken the hint. Overall I took care of the check and then he lied and said he would reimburse me…lo and behold I haven’t seen a dime despite waiting for a few weeks to give him to pay me back. We’re talking about a grown man in his 30s.
I can laugh on it now, but that night I was just like why couldn’t he actually be upfront and just tell me the truth. I almost feel numb now to dating. As much as I want and desire a husband, I’m so exhausted to where I’m mentally checking out.
