Reply to comment by Coidzor in Vulnerable narcissism and body image self-consciousness contribute to sexual distress in men by chrisdh79

It's kind of tough to not make a judgment about one's self when it's clear that, after decades of trying, absolutely no one wants anything to do with you. Like there has to be a reason because it seems like other people can build relationships. I don't know anyone else who's family treats them as if they prefer they don't exist and most people I know have at least one friend. I just want to know what's wrong with me, but all the advice I read tells me there isn't anything wrong.

I just hope your problem isnt related to you not lowering your standards enough. A TON of men who complain about being single are single because their standards are unrealistic.

Im sure there's tons of women you dont find attractive that would love to be with you, theyre lonely too.

Of course I've considered that but what would be the point in trying to pursue women that I'm not attracted to? This is all subjective, but I don't think my standards are too high. I'm not looking for flawless beauty queens or anything like that. Just someone I'm at least somewhat attracted to. I've tried being just friends with girls that i'm not attracted to, but that often ends with feelings getting hurt.
