    I have been rejected umpteen times by men for the longest time, any advice?

    this is just a summary (don’t judge)
    – first net date, i was in college, he asked me to be his p/t gf , rejected me later and quickly dated and married some girl later
    -2nd guy- hung out a few times (at his invitation), asked me to be his gf at 2nd meeting, i agreed, go dutch, never made me feel special, later rejected me when i asked if we are really in a/r, i never heard from him again
    -3rd guy- met his parents, dated seriously for 9 months, then dumped me cruelly over a phone call, feel justified to dump me, later dated and married his colleague, dumped me so that i will be out of the way. said he dated me as he was desperate for a gf, will never like me in that way, sees me as a “male buddy” – my heart was broken
    -4th short term bf- dated and wooed me, later said i ate too much , criticised about my body weight and implied that i tried to splurge on him. ghosted on me and i never heard from him again. he quickly married another foreign lady
    -5th bf – i met his mum at his insistence, dated 2 months, very hot initially then pulled away and ghosted me. declined all my calls and emails pleading for a patch-up. told my friend he wanted a break-up. then re-surfaced later , i shut him off. he dated another lady days later and married her
    -6th male friend, asked me out every wk, i hinted that i see him as a potential bf, he quickly rejected me, said he will never be together with me, made some condescending remarks about me whether I will throw myself at a man, i scolded him and shut him off.
    – multiple one net date wonders
    -a few speed dating sessions- the guys quickly went for the prettiest of the lot, and married them

    Whats wrong with me? It has taken a toll on my self-worth and value? Some of these guys even commented that im presentable looking and should have many suitors. BUt none ever saw me in that day, and always date and marry some other ladies very quickly.

    is there something fundamentally wrong with me?

    7th: ex male colleague, he wrote to me after i left the company, i just replied his emails, then he said..why am i contacting and confiding in him, he sees me only as a friend and not looking for a r/s? i merely only replied the emails he sent to me in kind..and then i got “brushed off” and “snubbed” this way

    I feel terrible..why am i written off by almost every men i met online, through friends, and at work ?

    Because the men you attract are a×sholes.

    You’re scary because you aren’t afraid to call them out on their s×it? You’re too nice? Not nice enough? Too emotional? Not feminine enough? No fashion sense and buy all your s×it at walmart because your broke af, it’s cheap and convenient? Too Agreeable? Too laid back? Boring? Don’t have any real friends? Not funny enough? Don’t talk enough? You’re too demanding? You’re pretty, just not their type? Not talented? Doing nothing to help your community? Not happy enough? Low self esteem? Lazy? Not ambitious? No passion in life because you let these guys beat your self worth into the ground and break your spirit so what’s the point of it all anyway? You have a stalker who likes to help you sabotage any potential partner because they think they know you better than you know yourself and don’t think you’re pretty enough, worth it, or ready to date like ever?

    Better off single

    Being single is better to wake up with out anxiety or heartache when he leaves ypu for your best friend. Just use men the same way they use you.

    Just run wild. Be free. Never get attached to them because they will never stay. If they do, they’re just going to cheat on you anyway.

    I know that’s what im gonna do and when i can no longer function, I’ve stored it in the back of my mind to shoot myself because life is pointless. Especially after your kids have moved on with their own lives and you have nothing left. This world is f×ked up anyway.

    sometimes i wonder whats lacking in me and in those women whom they dated and married so quickly

    to be rejected is normal..but to be rejected by like 95% of the men you met seems to suggest something is fundamentally wrong with me

    Please stop

    Yeah, its the men you attract.

    You’re an easy target. None of those guys ever had respect for you. So they play you like a fiddle and leave you feeling alone and worthless. So you have to stuff it all down, convince yourself you’re ok, and keep moving.

    This world is cruel and you have to look out out for candy coated s×it. There is a lot of it out there.

    Something, yourself, or someone or all 3 is f×cking up your vibe.

    Umm, them being married is not a barometer on the quality of those relationships, nor on your value. I see a woman with low self esteem who chooses poorly and overinvests before she should. That is on you. You chose these men. Read that again, you chose these men, not vice versa. I say this because right now you are in victim mode, which reeks of desperation. You accept men who have not earned a place in your life into your life.

    Once you realize that is your problem, not that there is something wrong with you, the better. Men who commit within 1 to 3 dates are unhealthy. The pattern is you both commit too fast, then he pulls away. Remedy, make him work harder to get you to commit. This means let him lead, and do not give up your life when dating.

    Stop dating until you treat yourself better. Date yourself. Unless you love yourself, you will keep attracting and finding these men attractive.

    My girlfriend..rejection is hurtful. No wonder you ask yourself if something is wrong. My piece of advice will be spiritual! We have a maker who dictates our lives,whether we acknowledge it or not. He dispatches blessings and curses according to how we live our lives as well as how we obey and worship him. So go to God sincerely and ask him to bless you with a family. No2..go back to your family and watch the patterns of it’s strengths and weaknesses in different spheres of life. I.e broken marriages,alcoholism name them. Vicious cycles and traits. From there you’ll know where to start.

    We have a maker who dictates our lives?

    YOU STILL HAVE A FUC×ING CHOICE IN YOUR LIFE.

    Blessings and curses come from what you choose to believe or were conditioned to believe. It’s YOUR CHOICE to break the patterns. Your maker isn’t dictating the CHOICES that you make. Our maker gave us free will and too many people blame it on the great spirit in the sky for s×it it didn’t even do to avoid accepting it was from a CHOICE you made. The CHOICES YOU MAKE can cause an effect on another person’s life. Good or bad.

    To go back into the past and rethink patterns and problems is asinine. The only way to break generational curses and patterns is awareness and faith in your maker that he’s placing you where you need yo be in life to get to your final destination. You might be led in the right direction, your CHOICES are what cause you to back track, take the scenic route, or wander off the path into a black forest. Stay on the path. Keep moving TF forward. You will get it right eventually.

    I wonder why I can’t even maKe a man likes me romantically or develop feelings for me in the multiple outings we went out

    Not just one isolated man but a few..even an ex who dated me for 9 months said he just didn’t have any feelings not to mention love for me

    While they quickly fall heads over heels in love with the next girl they meet and marry them in 1 to 2 years

    What’s wrong with me that just couldn’t get a man to like me? I can’t pinpoint..my looks? My personality?my communication style? My vibes or aura?or I’m just simply too nice? I mean it doesnt require much effort to attract or get a man to like u romantically?

    Not much advice to offer but my sister married a one-night stand and I would say he’s more attractive and successful of the two (she’d kill me if I said that). They’ve been married for 15 years now.

    So, you just never know.

    Let’s flip the script here. You are some awful shrew who doesn’t deserve love. How does that feel? Is that what you’re asking us to tell you. I can tell you that your attitude of rejection which is mostly rejecting yourself is why you get into this. If you stop projecting yourself you’ll stop getting rejected by other people.

    “I mean it doesnt require much effort to attract or get a man to like u romantically?”

    This statement jumped out at me. On the contrary, I think a true romantic attachment (not just lust) is hard to come by. It’s just not that easy to find someone who’s a good match for you, who is also at a place in their life where they want the same things you do, where there is chemistry and a true connection. The vast majority of the men you date will not fit that criteria. At least 9 out of 10 won’t. So saying that 95% of the men you date don’t work out sounds about right, to be honest….at least, if you’re talking about a deep, lasting relationship.

    But to address your point about constantly being rejected. Maybe you have the wrong mindset if you think it should be “easy” to get a man to develop feelings for you?
    As other posters have stated, Tallspicy in particular- perhaps you’re going after the wrong kind of men?
    Maybe you should work on yourself, developing your own life and interests. Be the kind of person who is interesting to date. Don’t be obsessively focused on finding a man.

    It’s somewhat a cliche, but the handful of “true love” type relationships that I’ve had (including my current relationship), all happened when I wasn’t all that focused on finding a relationship. I was definitely open to it, but I was busy leading an active, fulfilling life and the relationships happened in conjunction with that. I wasn’t overthinking things, I was just enjoying my life (all aspects of my life, not just the romantic). That’s what makes men fall in love, not desperation for a relationship.

    You cant just pile up a bunch of men who showed somewhat interest at first to more interested at first and then that dropped to zero as proof you cant keep any man. There is a whole bunch in your list you should never have been interested in like the guy who asked for exclusive after two dates. So your screening sensor for right matches is really off, i even wonder if its in place. You seem to accept any men as a potential bf if he approaches you. Thats a sure receipe to attract weirdo’s, emotional unavailable etc.
    Read the book why men love b*tches but only after you have worked on yourself in becoming more confident and secure. There is the key to happiness

    I am a human being after all, to be taken on for a ride..strung along..then rejected or dumped..in the most cruel way possible

    and that to be dropped like a hat, like i deserve it.when the other party was the one who initated a r/s..then a year later..they got married to other girls..

    what makes of me? a fling? temporary gf? a hangout buddy that can be cast away anytime ?..an unwanted lady?..

    if they are bad guys..why did they give the other girls commitment, serious r/s and then marriage?

    this has eaten my self-esteem..i need an online chatting pal to talk abt my emotions..leave your email if you want..just need a listening ear from someone i dont know

    Have you thought about seeking therapy? I think you need more help than people in an anonymous online forum can give you.

    You aren’t listening to anything that anyone here has told you, You just seem trapped in a very negative “victim” mindset. Until you get out of that mindset, things won’t change.

    I’m starting to question your perception of things. In your first post you say you did “a few speed dating sessions- the guys quickly went for the prettiest of the lot, and married them”. How on earth could you possibly know if some random guy from a speed dating session you attended went on to marry someone he met at the session?! You can’t possibly be keeping tabs on all these people.

    “I’m starting to question your perception of things.”

    I’m starting to question if this thread is truthful.

    (no offense to the thread starter)

    I will not give you a listening ear to your pity party. If this is how you are, maybe you are bringing it to your relationships. People want confidence and self esteem and self agency. They do not want people who are needy and hate themselves. Maybe you should not date until you love yourself. Please find a therapist!

    Listening to people who just want to vent and dont want to look for a solution are a drag. I seriously remove them from my to know list. You dont want to listen to advice, you want to vent. Good for you

    So just to reiterate, you’ve been rejected by 7 men over a course of (what sounds like) a year’s worth of dating?

    (not including the speed dating and one hit wonders)

    So you’re stalking guys from speed dating via their FB to see if they are married? (Guys I assume you met once, for a few minutes, at a speed dating event?)

    You really, really need to take a step back from dating and work on building up yourself and your own life and interests. Good luck.
