but, we almost never met.

I was signed up to every dating, meeting and chat app (yes, literally all of them), but I wasn't having much luck. I never got any responses, and the rare time that I did, there wasn't remotely a connection.

‍

I started to wonder do I have the wrong photos, was I not detailing some accomplishment clearly, or... is something wrong with me? Ugh... constantly feeling rejected is brutal.

‍

But I was ready for something more, a partner, a fuller social life, so I kept at it. I discovered a couple things about these apps that made a very big difference for me:

1. Woman were overwhelmed with messages from men - there are a number of financial and psychological reasons for this which I won't get into here
2. No one was being themselves - EVERYone was competing for attention and it took a very long time to peel back the layers and get to know anyone

So I shifted my approach, I didn't want to be another stat and I definitely didn't want to be associated with the guys that played the "numbers" game

‍

It was a painful process of feeling rejected and searching for the answer.

‍

It turns out it wasn't me.

I discovered 3 problems
