Why do I only attract men who wanna hook up?

I’m on dating apps and it’s like men only want to hook up with me. I’m looking for a serious relationship and I want to settle down with someone but it seems like all the men that I attract are just looking for like a FWB situation or want to hookup. I’m not looking for that AT ALL and it kinda makes me feel less because do men only see me as an object? I literally put on my profile that I’m looking for a serious relationship and I still get guys asking me what I’m looking for ..I tell them a relationship and they say “oh I’m not looking for that looking to have some fun with somebody”

I haven’t been on one date, haven’t gotten anywhere with anyone and I get matches but it literally feels like I get nowhere with them. It all feels like I’m running into the same dude over and over again. I don’t know what to do anymore and maybe dating isn’t for me? (But realistically I want it to be)

For context I’m 21 from the the Metro Atlanta area and I’m plus size so maybe that has something to do with it? I feel like if I was skinny maybe my matches would be different?

21F looking for longterm peeps to yap daily with

OKAY OBVIOUSLY CHAT we don’t have to talk literally every second of the day but realistically I just want some longterm friends especially those who enjoy talking a lot and calling and even gaming with each other on a regular basis.

I’m from Atlanta Georgia USA so I’m on eastern standard time so would prefer people also in that time zone or close to it (or just from North America in general) I don’t mind other countries or time zones we just have to find time for each other because I get busy sometimes but I think we can make it work:D

here’s my hobbies:
I like to play video games on ps5 (apex, fortnite, minecraft, tekken 7 & 8, rainbow six siege, warzone, roblox, castle crashers and helldivers 2) I
listen to a lot of different music (Rock, Metal, Alternative, Rap, R&B, Pop, Indie, Kpop, Jpop, Shoegaze, Punk, Emo, Neo Soul, Metalcore etc etc)
I watch tv shows/movies/anime, love shopping/thrifting, journaling and traveling/discovering new places. My favorite apps rn are Reddit (what a surprise xD) YouTube and Pinterest (I love just making random boards of my fixations)

I LOVE MEMES TOO SO SEND ME SOME. Let’s go meme for meme I bet mines are funnier 🙄 and don’t worry I won’t bully you for that okay maybe I will

[21F] looking to reach my full potential. What can I do?

(First picture is most recent and in order from newest to oldest)

looking for honest advice on how I can improve my appearance through softmaxxing. I’m open to constructive criticism. Specific advice appreciated about what you think would make the biggest difference. Brutal honesty preferred. DMs are also open for more specific advice

Weight: 277 lbs Height 5’9

330 → 277 lbs and I think I finally understand how much this journey is changing me🥹

I’ve struggled with feeling insecure about myself for a long time especially when it comes to my appearance so the other day a guy simply looked at me and said “you’re pretty” he was also being nice and helping me a lot I also noticed him staring

It sounds so small but honestly it meant a LOT to me especially after years of being considered the “weird” ugly girl. I gained a lot of weight in a short amount of time over the years and my highest recorded weight was 330+ lbs I didn’t want to stay like that forever so I decided to make a change

I’ve lost about 53 lbs so far and lately I’ve started getting more compliments from people. I’m not going to lie hearing those things has been really nice after spending so much time feeling like I wasn’t attractive or that nobody noticed me (at times I felt I was invisible)

But instead of letting the validation become the goal it’s actually made me want to LOCK IN😭

Like waittttt maybe I really am becoming the person I’ve been trying so hard to become. I should keep going. And maybe I will finally be comfortable in my own skin

I’m proud of going from 330 to 277 but of course I’m nowhere near done. This just gave me a little push to keep taking care of myself, keep losing the pounds and keep becoming more confident in my own skin

UGH I’m tired of being fat, ugly, lonely and depressed. How do I actually change?

I’m 21 F and I’m honestly tired of feeling stuck. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety a few years back and it feels like this year has been the worst for both. (Yes I go to therapy I also take antidepressants it kinda helps but I haven’t really made many changes) I’m constantly in my head and most days can’t even get out of bed to do anything else other than eat and use the restroom (I barely clean or cook anything) I have a part time job and I get ssi but I’m still broke after all the money I spend on bills and sometimes random door dash. I’m also obese I’m currently on a glp 1 and lost 50+ lbs from it but it’s mostly just been for less eating I haven’t really been eating nutritious or working out. Just from walking I get out of breathe and climbing up the stairs is even worse. I feel horrible because I have no friends, can’t attract a partner (I feel
disgusting to look at) and I have nothing going for myself (no degree)

For people who genuinely turned their life around what did you start with? I’m looking for realistic advice especially for getting out of a rut when you have little to no motivation

21F | EST | PS5 | Looking for a longterm gaming bestie 🌷 .✦ ݁˖🫶🏾

Hey! I’m Naomi (or Nae) I’m 21

I’m from Georgia (NA East) and I’m hoping to find people who actually want to build a long term gaming friendship. I’m usually free to play whenever I’m not at work or busy

I’m definitely not a pro so if you’re looking for someone to carry you… keep scrolling 💀 I mostly play for fun and usually end up playing support

Games I’m playing:

Fortnite
Apex Legends
Rainbow Six Siege
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 / Warzone
Minecraft
Roblox
Tekken 7 & Tekken 8
Castle Crashers
Helldivers 2 (just downloaded!)

I’m always open to trying other games to as long as they aren’t horror games my heart can’t handle those 😭

I’d love to meet people who want to play consistently instead of gaming once and then disappearing forever. If you’ve already got a friend group and don’t mind adding another person that’s cool too!
Please be 18+, have a mic, and actually talk while we play. A good sense of humor is a huge plus because I love laughing and joking around (I’ll probably bully you too 🙃)

If you think we’d get along send me a message! :) tell me what games you play and when you can play

20 [F4M] still searching for my “we met on reddit” success story 😭🫶🏾

I’m here again🙃maybe I’ll get lucky this time because I haven’t had any luck

Looking for my person, my best friend, my favorite human, my player two. I’ve never had a longterm relationship before but I’m open to something real that grows over time. Friendship first everything else can follow if it’s right

About me I’m a black girl from Atlanta Georgia USA I like music, shopping, TV series (mostly anime), movies, watching sports (I’m into Atlanta sports especially baseball and football) playing video games, swimming and hanging out with family. I have a part time job at a smoothie shop, I have 6 siblings, my favorite color is pink, I love sushi and I’m getting more into fashion

Physically 5’9 with locs, brown eyes, braces, chubby but I’ve lost close to 50 lbs(working on losing more), I have a nose piercing and I have brown skin. My favorite features of myself are my lips, eyes, and hair. Trying to truly improve in all aspects of my life. I have goals to get in shape, clear my skin and just have a major glow up in general. If you’re also on a self improvement journey it would be nice to share goals and progress with each other. I have selfies on my profile physical attraction is important so if we’re not attracted to each other then that’s okay we can respectfully part ways no pressure

Personality wise I’m more introverted and shy but once I’m comfortable I’m real sweet, goofy and love to laugh (I’ll probably bully you 🙂‍↔️) I’m into creating inside jokes, playful flirting, and just enjoying each other’s presence. I’m also very empathetic and open minded I genuinely love people for who they are. I get compliments on my personality and people tell me I’m a sweet person. My main love languages are quality time and words of affirmation so I crave connection a lot. I also wouldn’t mind being spoiled and treated like a princess that sounds like a dream 🥺

I’m looking for someone loyal, romantic ,clean/hygienic, funny, emotionally mature, goal oriented, nerdy and caring. I love “golden retriever” energy like someone a little clingy, affectionate and genuinely excited about me is right up my alley

Age range preferably 21–29 (I like maturity/experience) but I’m open if the vibe is right. I’m not trying to rush into anything but I am serious about finding something longterm

Maybe we can talk on the phone, play video games or share music with each other to break the ice. If you message me please don’t just say “hi” tell me your age and something about yourself so I actually have something to respond to. I promise I don’t bite don’t be shy you never know if it could be a match

20F need cool new online best friends ⋆‧°𓏲ּ𝄢

This is my main so if you know me no you don’t🤫

20 year old black female from Atlanta, Georgia looking for online friends 🌷 .✦ ݁˖ I’m hoping to make genuine long term friendships and actually build real connections instead of just having one conversation and disappearing forever 😭

I’m super introverted in real life so I can be kinda shy at first but once I get comfortable I talk a LOT and send random stuff constantly. I’m also goofy and will probably bully you (jokinggggg….or am I??) I honestly like meeting people who are chill, funny, understanding,and open minded. As long as you’re kind and not creepy of course

If random cursed images, bass boosted memes, or randomly generated humor makes you laugh we’ll get along great xD

I’m into anime, movies, all kinds of music, video games, shopping/thrifting for cool stuff, and I started a part time job at a smoothie shop. I’m trying to get into fashion too

I’m also on a weight loss journey right now so it would be nice to meet people who have goals too and can help keep each other accountable. I also have other goals like saving money and clearing up my skin let me know your goals if you’re downnnn

Bonus points if you send funny memes and can put me onto good music 🫶🏾

DM me don’t be shy I promise I don’t bite

20 and ready to invest in myself where should I start?

Hi ladies! 💕

I’m looking for some general advice on how I can improve and actually have a glow up. I’m 20 and I’m really trying to invest in myself and become the best version of me physically, mentally and financially

I’d love to hear what made the biggest difference for you. Whether it’s skincare, fitness, fashion, hair care, confidence, budgeting, hobbies, building routines, or just changing your mindset. I’m open to any advice

I’ve tried posting in another subreddit but didn’t get many responses so I thought I’d ask here. I’d really appreciate any tips or lessons you’ve learned on your own self improvement journey. Thank you!!!! 🤎

My day at the Black Girl Book Fair ATL 📚🤎

Went to the black girl book fair with family in Atlanta today and had such a good time!!! Picked up some books, wandered around, and got to spend the day surrounded by many beautiful black women who love reading. I made a friend too !! Definitely coming back next year (I’m in the brown skirt)

20 [F4M] Atlanta, GA a little nerdy, a little awkward, and hoping to find my person

Hi there I’m a 20 year old black girl born and raised in Atlanta and honestly I’m just looking for someone who’s as excited about love as I am. I’m goofy, a hopeless romantic, and just a teensy bit nerdy (okay maybe not teensy) I’m empathetic, can be shy at first, but once I’m comfortable I turn into a professional yapper. If I bully you a little it probably means I like you

My hobbies are all over the place:
• Playing video games on my PS5 (sometimes mobile too)
• Watching anime, shows, YouTube, and movies
• Blasting music until I almost go deaf (music is basically a personality trait)
• E journaling random nonsense
• Raiding the stores when I feel like treating myself (I’m jokinggggg….or am I?)
• Obsessing over how to reinvent my life in six months 😭

Looks wise: I’m 5’9, brown skin, brown eyes, medium length locs, braces, and a nose piercing. I’m also on a weight loss journey and I’m down almost 50 lbs!

Fun facts:
- I’m the oldest of six siblings (am I okay? No but thanks for asking)
- I work part time at a smoothie shop and I’m planning to go back to school
- I’m a foodie (Asian cuisine owns my heart…maybe you can too if you know how to cook 🥸)
- I love humor I have so many goofy memes and videos on my phone
- I love discovering new music I listen to many different genres of music my favorite artist is Radiohead so send recommendations!

What I’m looking for:
I want that butterflies, blushes, can’t stop smiling kind of love. The cuddles, late night conversations, random affection, sweet texts, inside jokes the whole thing. My love languages are quality time and words of affirmation and I’m the type to send cute texts, remember the little things you tell me, and get excited over even the smallest moments together. I’m looking for a sweet, loyal, funny guy who’s emotionally available and genuinely wants a relationship. I’m open to long distance at first but I’d eventually like to meet if things go well. Please take care of yourself, have good hygiene, and don’t rush things. I like taking relationships one step at a time and if it starts feeling like love bombing we’re not gonna be a good match. I’d love to build something real and hopefully have a family someday. If you message me tell me your age, where you’re from, your favorite song right now, and one random fact about yourself. Maybe we can call or play a game together to break the ice. Don’t be shy I don’t bite

P.S If you’ve seen me before congratulations you found my main account be nice🤧

How does one realistically achieve this aesthetic?

I’ve been drawn to the earthy/boho aesthetic for a while now and I’d love to slowly work toward it. I’m currently on a weight loss and glow up journey so I know some aspects like becoming leaner, getting toned and clearing my skin will take time

Aside from that what are the key elements that make this aesthetic work? What should I focus on first? Hair, clothing, accessories, makeup, skincare, body language, or something else? Where to shop? I’d love advice on how to capture the vibe without trying to copy anyone exactly
