How do I present myself?
I (a 23m who’s conventionally attractive) don’t quite understand how to find guys. I am more “masculine” from what I understand but I just want someone who I can love. The only people I can find are from dating sites who only want me for my body. I’ve been hurt by a lot of people (both guys and gals) however I just want to be happy, I’m more alt than anything, I wear a lot of dark metal/rock shirts and have a somewhat large tattoo on my forearm and getting another on my other. I know tattoos are a turnoff for some people but in the community it hasn’t seemed to matter. A lot of people say that I come off as straight but I don’t see how with my mannerisms. I’m tired of being broken by people I’m “supposed” to be with but men just either don’t want me or don’t know that they could have me. Men have always just treated me so much better and I want to be with someone I know I can have faith in. At the end of the day I just don’t know how to present myself without staying true to myself, I don’t inherently act gay (I was raised in the Bible Belt and I would be “crucified”) but I just want a man to make me happy for once in my life. Any advice would be nice. I’m more of a masc alt type man, hell I’m even in the military but still, I want a man to love me
