Single by Choice

I’ve always just been so picky? 😕 I’ve been attracted to like two men in my life, I’ve never been attracted to anyone on a dating app or whom I’ve met socially. I don’t get how my contemporaries are always dating and having relationships, I don’t think I’m asexual but 98% of men give me the ick and I’d honestly rather be single than have one of them, although I’d quite like someone I genuinely like 😆
I have only genuinely desired one man my entire life. The others, well I was playing a role to justify my place as an opposite I think.
The one I did desire. It was like a film, mutual passion & some love in there. I fear it could never be replaced. Some things are so absolutely good and real.

Having to use the bathroom after them too. I just don't get how couples cope with all this!
Talking of pervy men, a friend of mine was having a chat with an apparently nice man. She couldn't believe it when he told her how fit he was, how he'd had sex last night and how sexy he found her. He's mid seventies and not a looker, quite the opposite 😬
Thing is I'm at the stage where I'd appreciate a companion. But just not (ever) live with their snoring, bad breath etc. If bad breath was a thing I'd prefer a cat, frankly

This made me laugh 😂 I saw on another thread someone saying they love the smell of men’s bodies and was just like 🤢
Haha this is a true thing. It’s all about the pheromones. I loved the smell of my ex, even his sweaty body. Sounds so weird but it is a thing.

Oh I can definitely believe it’s a biology thing, I just can’t imagine it cos men = smell bad to me 😂

I HATE the sex chat. The second they bring up sex (usually within a few messages) I am out of there. There is so much more to me and I wanted there to be so much more to them.
I wonder if it ever works?
I’m the same as you and I think most women are….so why do they persist?

Someone told me that most men look like Sims after you click the randomise button and I can’t help but agree.

It’s the same as fool pics. What woman has ever been sent a fool pic 3 messages in and thought “yes please”??

No one wants to see a pen and chat about your no doubt tit sex. Give me the emotional connection over any of that so I sack it all off

I once was sent an absolutely gross elephants trunk fool pic. Unsolicited. He was standing in a bath proudly displaying the monstrosity. I said "If you're going to send a fool pic, at least have the decency to pull your foreskin back!" He was not happy at my response naturally. I was meant to be consumed with lust for it. 🤮

It’s tawdry. I feel like a lot of women perhaps go along with it as it seems to be the norm. It’s mad how accepted it is.

It's just plain nasty - I've had a lot of oversexualised behaviour this year and really don't like it. Wonder if they ever learn? The majority of women want a connection and someone they can talk to first.

I think I can kind of put myself as 50% single by choice, 50% not! I have never had a serious relationship, been on dates here and there but I find the whole thing deeply uncomfortable, like I feel really nervy if a man gives me attention - which is very rare anyway. All these dates have been from dating apps - no one has approached me IRL ever. I am generally a very independent person, mostly because I haven't had a boyfriend and have lived away from friends so I've had to get used to doing everything on my own. I like my own space and go a bit mad if I can't have that alone time to keep to my routine. And that's not even getting into the absolute state of men nowadays! I genuinely don't fancy many men. They're lazy slobs and put no effort into their appearance.

Yet at 30 I am of course surrounded by friends getting married and having long term boyfriends etc. They can say otherwise but people do absolutely prioritise men over their friends all the time. I do feel very left out and like a massive loser when talking to other women my age as I have nothing to contribute, and I would love someone who genuinely appreciates me. I'm not that bothered about having kids but a dual income and some moral support would be nice!! People think you're really weird if you get to this age without ANY experience. I know I'm an acquired taste though, and most men don't want the 'baggage' of dealing with someone who has been single their whole life at this age...it's hard finding one who wants to go slow.

I can go one better. I received a photo of this bloke lying on a coffee table, legs in the air with his a cheeks pulled wide apart. I actually laughed at the time because it was ridiculous and quite frankly who the duck would want to see that?! But looking back now it’s all shades of wrong isn’t it? Needles to say it put me right off. I could never look at him the same way funnily enough 🙄

How I wish their family would find out that this is what they send women without asking

A lot of women will complain about the lack of effort men make to do things (basic housework, childcare etc) and those same women are confused about why you’re single

It was actually the reflection in a mirror. He’d taken it as a selfie. Phone in one hand, cheeks spread with with the other 😂

So he was using one hand to spread both cheeks? Or just one cheek? Why am I asking this? 🥲
