He Said I’m ‘Alright’—Why Do I Attract These Guys?

Okay, it’s 2AM and I’m spiraling. I (31M) legit almost proposed to someone who basically told my mom he was settling for me. Like, she asked what he was excited about for marriage and he goes, “I’m not expecting a Chris Hemsworth lookalike, just an okay guy is fine.” That ‘okay guy’ is me, by the way. Fast forward, new dude meets my parents and keeps repeating how looks aren’t important to him. Over and over. Do you know how that feels? Like, bro, just say you don’t find me attractive and go. Then he tells me he had lunch with his ex (who he says is gorgeous, but ‘looks aren’t everything’). Translation: she’s hot, I’m not. I’m 31. I’ve done YEARS of work on my self-esteem after hating my body as a teen. Why am I still attracting men who act like dating me is charity work? How do I stop this cycle? I’m exhausted. #NoFilter #DatingDisasters #AdultingFail #NoFilter #DatingDisasters #AdultingFail #RomanticRelationships
