    I don’t hate myself at all, but I honestly don’t see how my spouse manages to not just like me, but actually have me as his partner. It’s so weird, I’d go crazy if I had to live with me.

      My wife says the same thing. I hate it. I want her to love herself as much as I do and I wish she could see how beautiful she is in my eyes.

      I am sure your spouse also wants you to love yourself as he does and for you to see the beauty he sees.

      We all want to make our partners happy and loving yourself that way might possibly the happiest you can be.

    See I can only think up to “if I was a girl” before being completely derailed into other thoughts from there :3

    In my case it’s a paradox. If I meet someone I like we won’t have much in commom because people that have things in commom with me and that would be great company to me are not out there meeting people, like I’m not also. It’s lile my “prince charming” exists but WFH, don’t like to go out and just watch horror movies, cute puppy videos and eat cheese

    Be someone you want to date. Then date yourself. I hear of a beautiful pool that nobody but me seems to really see the beauty in

    If you don’t like yourself it’s because you aren’t your type but you are definitely someone else’s type. This doesn’t mean there isn’t room for self improvement to increase your chances of falling in someone’s range.

    Just being confident about who you are rather putting yourself down goes along way. Though you could argue that being a pessimist is part of your personality but the only people you will attract will be those trying to fix you.

    It’s the damndest thing.

    When you work on yourself, like yourself, and invest in your interests, women are more attracted to you.

    Like. The easiest way to trick people into liking you is to be a good person. And then one day you’re like: hey, I can’t believe this is working, tenting your fingers, and you can’t think of anything you’ve done in a decade that you hate yourself for and you’re like: holy shit, AM I a good person?
