Why am I, M21, an ex-model, getting less attention from women?
A few years ago, I had no issues attracting women, but recently everything's been flipped on its head. People have always voluntarily told me how good-looking I am without prompting, yet when I go out & about whether I'm walking around campus, the city, or at the bars, I've noticed that girls don't look at me, try to make eye contact with me, interact/flirt with me, or compliment me anymore. I get no signs of attraction anymore. It wasn’t like this for all of high school + junior & sophomore years of college.
I used to get a ton of looks, stares, compliments, flirting & just random interactions with women, whether on social media or in real life, but beautiful women or even women I'm not attracted to no longer give me the same or any unprovoked attention as they used to give me. These attraction signals are not there anymore.
My face & body have matured but I've only gotten better-looking because my features developed (jawline, cheekbones, eyes, body, etc) than when I used to be able to attract women, but women's reactions to me have gone from "never seen a man before" to “he's just an average dude that doesn't warrant looking at". I know I can't be everyone's cup of tea, but I used to be most girls' type & it seems that now I'm nobody's. I feel so invisible & undesired.
I know that there is a higher concentration of people at college, that college is a different ballgame & that there are more options for girls, but they all just ignore me in copious amounts now & it's made me incredibly insecure & has really badly affected how I see myself. I'd really appreciate some insight because I'm really struggling with this. Is it a mental thing on my end? Lack of self-confidence, charisma? Is it because I'm no longer confident in myself & now I'm in my own head? I can't seem to get out of it without getting validated by women, but I can't seem to get women to validate me, so I'm stuck in a negative loop that I so badly want to break out of
