Hey. I want to know how I can attract the right type of men as a 29 year old woman. I went through a talking phase from a guy I went to high school with that I developed mad feelings for. I ignored the red flags that he only wanted to smash because I was just so desperate for a relationship (I’m still a virgin & I never had a bf due to traumatic experiences with men I went through as a child & never getting to know the type of men that I like). Things got ugly when I confessed to him that I didn’t want to have sex with anyone unless I was in a serious relationship. He hasn’t spoken to me since. It still hurts thinking about it.
First, I’m so sorry you had to go through all of those traumatic experiences. You didn’t deserve that. I know it hurts, and will for awhile. You will continue to heal. Same with the recent experience.
As far as advice on attracting the right type of men, it’s a few things you have to do.
1. Move in the circles of your interests, morals and passions:
interact and befriend people you have those things in common. IMO it’s the best way to not only meet great partners, but great lifelong friends as well.
let your intentions be known off rip, you scare away most men that’s just tryna smash by telling them you’re not looking for that. Some men will try to wait you out and keep pressing you for sex. Cut them off immediately. The others, It isn’t a reflection on you that they don’t pursue that with you after you reveal this. Because they aren’t looking for it in general. And even if they were, it’s still a reflection of them. I’ve seen people pass up amazing partners because they thought they wanted something else.
3. Evaluate and reevaluate yourself:
as you continue to date, look at what you see others do, what you love, what you like, need, and can’t tolerate. Look at the reasons why you feel that way. Confirm if you should keep that position and move accordingly after doing that work. This will be a on going process
4. Accept that most men(and people) aren’t for you:
majority of single men rn are single because they aren’t looking for a relationship or because nobody wants them (see “incel”)Lol. Most of the men you will attract won’t be for you as well. Even when you put out all the right vibes, move in the right circles, and are upfront with your intentions. You’ll still attract men that aren’t for you or are flatout ain’t shit. It happens, please don’t let it discourage you.
You are going to find the person and persons for you. It will take time, energy, and plenty of work. There will be success to overcome the setbacks.💙 i hope this helps and i can elaborate more on things if you wanted. Didn’t want this toooo long.
