Is it normal that i never get asked out and

I'm 30, right and the thing is for one, I almost never get asked out when out and about. Having never had a boyfriend, I've kind of taken measures into my own hand and feeling in way like it was my only choice, I tried out online dating. I've been on a free online dating site (plenty of fish) for nearly half a year and though I haven't actually subscribed, I've had a profile up on some paid online dating sites for some time. The thing is I almost never on those online dating sites get messaged by attractive guys (guys that I find attractive). I am mostly talking about the physical appearance right now. I want at least a somewhat attractive person. It's not to say really ugly people message me but just people that are not my type. The thing is I'm not ugly. I think I'm a fairly attractive young Asian lady and so I don't understand why those types of guys won't give me a chance! I've messaged a few guys and they never respond! I'm kind of wit's end. Imagine being in my shoes, 30 never having once experienced a relationship nor what we call "love" lol (which I hope to experience in a marriage of course)!! I have had a hot guy or two in real life (like not online) who have found me attractive and wanted to hook-up (unfortunately) or who have wanted to go eat at Subway (problem was he had a daughter) or who have said I'm pretty. I have even been told by a hot guy that he thinks I'm hot (this is rare tho). I know what everyone defines as pretty varies as beauty can be subjective. Anyhow, what's the deal? Oh yeah, I do have to mention that I don't have a good career going for me right now so I know that sometimes can have to do with it. However, I did ask this one guy online why he viewed my profile but never messaged me and part of his answer was that he wasn't attracted to me! :*( I'm getting mighty lonely, man, a bit hopeless, desperate as typical, and a little angry and frustrated!!!! I would ask some guys out but I am pretty sure they would reject me or they would just be interested in hooking-up (not my thing)!

      Double sigh! The Op is a fucking moron. She wants attractive guys although i'm pretty sure she's average looking at most since men don't seem to notice her at all. But she rejects average looking guys. She doesn't want to hook up either. So what exactly does this bitch have to offer? Nothing. Severe case of forever alone detected. Self inflicted though on this one due to extreme stupidity.

          Sounds like someone's a little white knight mangina taking women's side whenever is necessary.

    I don't know you, I can't answer this question. But!, I will say this "fortune favors the brave". If you see someone you want take a chance. No prince charming is going to ride in on a white horse and take you away.

      seriously. and guys these days (or ones worth going out with) know women are socially permitted to be the ones who initiate things and some of them seem to wait for it. they don't like being rejected either. and so what if you get rejected, just see what happens

    Sorry that you'll disagree but no one's out of my league. I'm not an unattractive girl and the guys that message me are not my type not just in terms of looks. Yeah, looks do matter to me to a certain extent and yeah, I'm not attracted to some but who's to say they are "average" looking or not or to say someone is or isn't in someone's "league"? It's just my opinion that they are not that attractive TO ME. I know that's what I said above but I guess it's wrong to label people like that. Maybe to another girl they are hot! Anyways, like I mentioned, guys that I am attracted to have talked to me before and I have been told I'm pretty (by girls and guys I find to be attractive) so it's not to say that anyone is "out of my league". What is comes down to is people are attracted to different things and also I haven't gone out much. Anyways, I myself tend not to be attracted to really obese people guys, guys have no career goals (though yeah, I myself am seeking a career. The point is I am looking), maybe a guy who's into motorcycles, and more. Yeah, I do look at the face too and I'm not attracted to some though if we met and they were cool, maybe I would give them a shot! Often the way they look at least dress and carry themselves can go in line with their personality and hence, I feel like I can tell if they and I are not exactly going to click (though of course, I can't get it right every time). I myself am average in terms of weight and I know I'm cute so whatever! My biggest selling point though is not my looks but my PERSONALITY and the morals and goals I live by. Hence, I just question why more guys on online dating sites and perhaps in real life won't give me a shot. Btw, a guy at work who's attractive just gave me his number last week so again, I wouldn't necessarily say it's cause I'm unattractive period. Again, maybe for one reason or another, some guys are not attracted to me. That doesn't mean I am ugly/unattractive. And yes, though I know personality is most important to me and others, I also realize that realistically, physical attraction is important to a certain extent to most people. Chemistry has to be there

      you don't have to defend yourself to these morons who think you should answer for expecting a man to be attractive or accepting your own attractiveness, they're just bitter

        Hey thanks. I didn't mean to be offensive or mean in what I said in reply to people's comments. I don't like conflict especially when it's unnecessary. Anyhow, I did feel a little bit of a need to defend my position as I felt I was being misunderstood and what not but it's all good! The whole reason I wrote my question is cause I'm just frustrated that I'm finding it so difficult to find a decent boyfriend/husband! I should prob edit my post to put that what I'm looking for is an overall decent guy. Someone who shares my faith and morals, someone who is not just looking to hook-up, someone who is interested in a serious relationship and will actually give me a chance (not like just one day or something), and someone who I'm somewhat attracted to physically!! I unfortunately don't get many decent guys writing to me on plenty of fish and I put a profile on christianmingle but barely anyone messages me! I was considering subscribing to that dating site but I'm like what's the point if no one's going to even give me a chance! I'm just wondering why especially Christian guys that I'm wanting to date on a site like Christianmingle.com won't consider giving me a chance!! Of course with a site like plenty of fish, I got catfished and I have no clue which guys that have messaged me in the past 5 months are real and which ones have bad/good motives! A lot of them on there that message me also are not really looking for a serious relationship. That concerns me too! One of my fears is I'll meet someone that I met from plenty of fish in person but they would only meet me that one time and never again cause they aren't really serious about finding a girl for a relationship! Some guys just talk to me like once or twice and never respond again! I'm certainly not interested in just hooking-up as I mentioned before! So yeah, since I was finding it difficult to find a guy out in the real world, I thought I'd give online dating a try and it's pretty much the same if not worse (go figure). I'm btw def. not Jessica Simpson/real hot kinda gal but I'm cute, I'm nice, ambitious, a hard worker, a girl with morals. Hence, I don't know why I'm finding it so hard. No guys ugly or not ever ask me out when I'm out and about (like Bible study or at work these days). A guy like I said did give me his number at work and that happened in the past too but they never asked me out! That tells me that they may not be that serious and are prob just wanting me to be a friend or just a hook-up. Anyhow, yeah, so I don't understand though why the guys that message me on online sites are just overall, not guys I'm attracted to in terms of the whole package. WOW Sorry for this LONG message! ha!!!! Anyhow, I'm still considering subscribing to Christianmingle. My chances of finding a decent guy on a site like plenty of fish or Okcupid seems tragically very slim. I think more of the type of guys I'm going for would be on Christianmingle though there are that many guys unfortunately on there! The thing that btw tends to also be bad with paid for online dating sites is the guys are often ones with money/a career and may very well be looking for a girl who has it all together in terms of a career just as themselves! Of course, there are guys on dating sites in general (free or paid) that are that way! I understand though cause I too am looking for someone who at least has career goals like myself! Anyhow, thanks and take care!! :) Hope I will find true love before I leave this planet one day! keke

    A lot of guys perhaps won't or aren't attracted to me and if that's what you call being "out of someone's league" than so be it! It doesn't I think mean I am any less attractive than I am and that hot guys or guys I'm attracted to won't find me attractive. I've gotten told by some that I'm not that attractive (compared to "really pretty girls") and I've gotten told that I'm pretty/hot. It just proves that beauty can be in the eye of the beholder. Of course we are all beautiful in our own way but realistically, people will find diff things attractive. That's why I am confused though why I don't really get asked out much including on the web. For one, I don't go out much. I attend Bible studies and that's it. Ideally, I'd like to meet someone there at church but so far, nothing! I'll just keep hoping while keeping my standards moderate and realistic if that's the word. We all know anything can happen cause my dad has said himself that he's not that attractive but he met my mom who basically looked like perfection (no such thing exists but you know what I mean)! There have been those who questioned why my mom married my dad but what it comes down to it is, there's nothing wrong or odd about it and my parents found one another attractive in one way or another. To me a relationship is a big deal and though yeah, I've been alone for a LONG while, I don't want to just get together with any old dude. I want to meet someone who's personality I am attracted to, who is Christian, and who yes, I have physical chemistry with as well!! My standards are really not that high either. Like some have suggested, I have lowered my standards compared to the past. Perhaps realistically I won't get asked out by at least with online dating by guys I see as hot and that does bother me. I won't wait around for Mr. Perfect yet if I find a guy that I am somewhat attracted to physically and has whatever else that I'm looking for then, I'll try to make it work! I wish guys I'm somewhat attracted to at least will give me a chance.

    Idk maybe lower your standards slightly see what happens. Also I say go for it and start asking guys out...all that can really happen is they say no...but thats not a big deal your just not their type. Move on to the next one until u find one that's interested in you.
    I dont think love can be rushed and it will come along at its own pace and im sure you will find someone.

    maybe you talk too much?? i didn't read your other post. i started, but saw how long it was and what i had read didn't hold my interest. just get to the point already.

    I'm sorry I guess I didn't exactly word my initial question in the best way. I'm not just looking for a "hot" guy. I am looking for a guy I am at least somewhat attracted to both in terms of looks and personality. I am most importantly looking for a devoted, Christian guy who lives with morals. A guy who is driven and goal-oriented (has career goals) is also important.

      Im sorry but you said "PERSONALITY and the morals and goals I live by." Are your selling points. But to me it seemed like you were really focused on looks in your guys.
      I still stand by lowering your standards a bit might help. I dont meen a lot but at least in looks lower it a bit. You might find a guy that isn't that hot in your book...but he might have the personality traits you want.
      your just not going to find someone that is 100% everything your looking for...you said a hot guy gave you his number why not go on a date with him?

    No offense OP, but you seem like another person that's chasing what's out of their league. Perhaps you should lower your standards a bit and see what happens. You just might meet someone amazing by doing so.

  • Most people never find a compatible life partner yet most people focus their lives around something that may never be obtainable only to be disappointed when they do. When we learn to enjoy our own company we can find the best relationships with ourselves.

    You sound like an intelligent woman. What exactly is your "type"?
