@guys: Give dating objectively physically unattractive girls a try. It's potentially a life changer.
As a relatively attractive (biased, but wtv) straight male, my previous experiences with dating a subset of chio girls almost completely killed off my interest in dating and relationships in general. It seems that being attractive makes life so easy for some attractive people that they just slap on a template personality and just call it a day.
'Dating' them was just constant pattern matching social trends. They expected me to pay for pretty much everything they want, and follow their whims, all the time, when we are together, and even when not physically present can still text or call. Even 3am munchies also expect me to order grabfood to their address. Not to mention the constant gaslighting, and mind game bs whenever they want attention, which is more or less all the time. Some of them also completely disregard any of my concerns about life choices, even when it is salient, observably valid, and actively dumpstering their future in addition to my own.
I was disillusioned to the point of completely giving up on healthy relationships, that I went elsewhere seeking uhh less than healthy relationships. Somehow I found my current partner there and boy is it night and day. She isn't particularly pretty, physically, probably 2-3/10 if I were to use the normal toxic looks grading scale. However, she has PERSONALITY. I no longer feel like a caged and muzzled animal to be milked for material goods. We discuss life paths, make decisions together, and I just feel heard and valued as an equal partner for pretty much the first time in my life. Their personality brings them up to 8/10 overall despite their objective physical unattractiveness.
I am so much more happier and motivated to do better so that I can be there for her in the future.
tl;dr some physically unattractive girls can be absolute gems. Don't just go for the chiobus guys.
