Don't know why i am posting this but don't have much in real life support and struggling mentally with loneliness due to sexuality (gay) and looking for positive advice from anyone who is empathetic or similar situation.
I am 36 never had a long term relationship though have dated if you can call it that but nothing ever gets beyond the 6 month mark.
The few friends i have are all coupled and i just feel the odd one out and fed up being perpetually single.
I have a lot to offer the right person but all i ever attract is closeted or emotionally unavailable men or men that are old enough to be my Father. I just want to meet someone around my own age or late 20s but that never seems to happen.
Why do i attract emotionally unavailable men who can't reciprocate?
I had a happy childhood and both parents mid 60's still married and i know what a healthy relationship looks like but i just never seem to find what i am looking for.
I feel like giving up and accepting i will never meet anyone. I would be quite happy for a friends with benefits in the mean time but can't seem to find that either.
I have tried Plenty of Fish and Match on and off but its always the same faces. I don't think internet dating is suitable for me really because physical attraction and chemistry is very very important to me. How can you can really tell if you will like somebody just from a photo anyway. I rarely find anyone physically attractive in real life.
Most gay men today are bloody hard work and not worth bothering with!! They are either narcissists or got something else wrong with them or just want to bonk anything with a pulse.
Rant over!
