— A Wake-Up Call From a Good Guy

Tired of being ghosted, judged, or ignored?
If you’re a man trying to date in today’s superficial, swipe-left culture, you’ve probably asked yourself:

“What the hell is wrong with me?”

Let me tell you what’s wrong —
The system. Not you.

I’m a 44-year-old man. Overweight? Yeah.
Lazy or sloppy? Hell no.
Financially stable? Yup.
Stylish? Always.
Emotionally intelligent? Damn right.

But I’ve been on dating apps for 10 years.
You know how many dates I’ve had?

Zero.

Let that sink in.

The 6-6-6 Delusion: Why So Many Women Are Still Single

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room:
The delusional dating standard known as the 6-6-6 Rule.

• 6 feet tall
• 6-figure income
• 6-inch dick

That’s not a preference.
That’s a fantasy-fueled checklist from TikTok, Instagram, and romcom fiction.

Here’s the reality:

• Only 14.5% of men in the U.S. are 6 feet or taller.
• Less than 9% earn 6 figures.
• And for the third one? Let’s just say not everyone’s packing Excalibur — but it’s also irrelevant when you’re actually in love.

When women say, “Where are all the good men?”, the truth is:

They’re right in front of you — but you filtered them out with your fantasy lens.

The Psychology Behind Rejection in the Swipe Era

Here’s what most people miss:
Modern dating apps are dopamine casinos.

You’re not dating.
You’re slot-machining faces.

• Men swipe for chances.
• Women swipe for fantasy.
• And neither ends up satisfied.

Men like me don’t even get seen.
I’ve smiled at women, not in a creepy way, just in a soft, present, “hey-I-see-you” way.
You know what I got?

Disgust.

Not disinterest. Not a polite decline.
Actual disgust.

Why? Because in this culture:

“If you’re fat, you must be lazy.”
“If you’re older, you must be creepy.”
“If you’re not hot, why are you even looking at me?”

Let me be blunt:
That’s emotional immaturity masquerading as high standards.

The MeToo Chill: When Good Men Go Silent

Look, MeToo was necessary. It exposed real abuse and empowered women.
But here’s what nobody wants to say out loud:

It also scared the hell out of good men.

• We’re afraid to compliment.
• Afraid to approach.
• Afraid to be seen as predators for… smiling.

So now?

Women say “no one approaches anymore,” but only want to be approached by the top 1%. Anyone else? “Ew, how dare you.”

It’s not about respect.
It’s about the ego trip of being wanted only by the men they already want.
That’s not equality. That’s ego-fueled entitlement.

What Women Don’t Realize About Big Guys

Here’s something powerful:

A big guy can lose weight when he feels loved.

Not judged.
Not mocked.
Loved.

Because when a man feels seen — truly seen — he heals.
Not to earn your love…
But because he finally believes he deserves it.

You want to see a man rise?
Stand by him without flinching at his body.
Most of us gained weight from trauma, burnout, or carrying everyone else.
We didn’t get lazy. We got tired.

Advice for the Men Who Feel Invisible

1. Stop begging for approval from people who don’t even know you.
2. Sharpen your style. Be unfuckwithable. Let your presence speak.
3. Find your tribe offline. Spiritual circles, dancing, art, hobbies.
4. Don’t shrink your soul for surface-level validation.
5. Heal. Then elevate. The right woman isn’t looking for a weight class — she’s looking for a frequency.

Advice for Women Tired of “No Good Men”

1. Ditch the 6-6-6 checklist. Attraction matters, yes. But depth matters more.
2. Stop ghosting the good ones. If he’s kind, present, funny, and warm — lean in.
3. Let go of the idea that love has to come in a certain body.
4. Check your ego, not just your standards. High standards are fine — delusion isn’t.
5. Ask yourself: Am I attracting fantasy or building connection?

Conclusion: Real Love Has No Filters

We are living in a time where people have never been more “connected” — and yet feel more alone than ever. Loneliness is at an all-time high!

Men are afraid. Women are frustrated.
And all of us are exhausted from chasing perfection in a culture that sells dopamine, not devotion.

But here’s what I know:
Love doesn’t care about your weight, your height, or your bank account.
It cares about energy.
About presence.
About how you make someone feel in your orbit.

If you’re tired of the games — maybe it’s time to stop swiping and start seeing.

The right people won’t need the perfect body. They’ll just need the real you.
