[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The older I get, the more I look back at photos of myself objectively. I see now that I was cute, pretty, attractive, whatever. Or, I see the women my ex-boyfriends from college and early twenties/thirties era married, and by most objective standards, we are very similar in the looks department.

[b]Religious conservatism, not willing to relocate without a wedding when the finances/timing were not right, not willing to move in with someone, expecting a traditional courtship, focusing on graduate school, and career; helping with a terminally ill parent, these are all more likely reasons why logistically my relationships didn't work out. [/b]

I read so many romance novels, and I really thought at the time that if I was stunningly beautiful, my life would have worked out with the right man.

I hope most of you consider other areas of your life that need improvement besides your looks when it comes to relationships.

Is this you or the people you have dated? All of this part is a big red flag to me of a category of person that tends to date and marry very young, with little life experience, and probably with heavy input from family and religious leaders. Either way, I assume if you're looking for this and over, hmmm 23 you're basically screwed. Probably has little to do with how attractive you are, as others have pointed out, and more with this mindset. There's a certain timeframe for this where you basically cross your fingers and hope it works out, but after a certain age? Going to be tough, no matter what you look like. People with these requirements aren't on the singles scene at 34, they have multiple kids and are in the middle school pickup line. [/quote]
