    I assure you it’s not. Every man who approaches me because they’re interested in what I look like, as soon as I start talking, they start looking for an exit from the conversation and they leave.

        Well the hard part is I also have high standards in men. They have to be smokin hot & obsessed with health too. Haven’t found one of those who can tolerate my squeaky voice, my utter uselessness, because I also refuse to cook food for anyone. IMO every adult should be capable of feeding themselves. Pisses me off when men expect women to cook for them.

        So this is how a fine lady can end up forever alone, and I’m fully aware of this corner I’ve painted myself into 🤣

          Okay, you might be part of the problem. A little lowering of expectations might be a good idea. People shouldn’t be so judgmental, they miss out on a lot of interesting surprises.

          And what’s with the cooking thing? You just cook for yourself, and eat it in front of the other hungry people? If you’re cooking for one, you cook for the others in the house, too, or at least offer. And you take turns, because cooking is fun. We actually fight (well, discuss) about it in our house, because most nights there is more than one person who wants to cook dinner.

          OTOH, If someone EXPECTS you to be providing dinner every night, and won’t cook themselves, that’s a problem. They’re going to starve.

            The foods I eat are extremely healthy & don’t taste good to anyone but me. I’m not a Goddamn chef. I HATE COOKING! Go to a restaurant if you want a chef. The last boyfriend I had, his house was full of junk food and I had to cook him his own separate junk that I would never eat, and it compromised my own health. I put so much effort into taking care of myself, I don’t have any energy to take care of anybody else. I go to work & I go to the gym. Feed your own damn self. I’m busy & exhausted.

            So maybe other people should change, not me. I’m at the pinnacle of health. Why should I lower my standards? Other people should raise their standards. Why do people want to eat junk & feel like shit? Why should I lower my standards to meet them down there? You expect everybody to feel like shit just because you do? If every individual person takes care of their health, the world will be full of healthy people feeling good & smokin hot attractive. Because that’s all attractiveness is. It’s being healthy from the inside.

            I just need speech therapy!!

              I am a retired chef. I can guarantee that I could make the foods you like to eat tasty for all. I mention this because, given the various flags you’ve mentioned, an actual chef might be a good match for you. Generally speaking we like cooking for other people. The one down side you’ll have is that the adage “do not trust a skinny chef,” is there for a reason. I’m in decent shape for a chef, but still about 10-20 pounds overweight. It’s because we are constantly having to taste the dishes, so monitoring my caloric intake while working is damn near impossible. Doesn’t mean I don’t spend time in the pool and surfing, just means that I eat really good food frequently.

              Find another chef though, I’m not available.

              Oh, and just so you know, the not cooking thing isn’t just men. I’ve had to teach every girlfriend I’ve had, except one, how to cook. Had to ban one of them from my kitchen because she kept scorching my expensive pans.
