right...because the only places worth traveling to internationally are in Asia.
Well I'll get killed in Africa and South America has cartels. That leaves Eastern Europe where women are aloof or Australia which is expensive and has strict visa rules. That leaves North America or Scandinavia.
For years I had issues with making male friends and I've had several close g/fs but I always felt a little distant no matter what. A few labeled me as gruff
I never considered that I may not be naturally into women and I could not be gay. I certainly do not act the way gays are portrayed in the media nor do they attract me.
Long story short I prefer being around men. I date other men who act and look straight. My most authentic version of myself is being around other fit straight acting men who happen to enjoy men. I finally found "where I belong"
I would hit the bars meet some girls........wanna dance...worked for me. Get out start having some adventures. Big old world out there.
Of course at 35 you'll be meeting women not girls with kids, hmmm?
What if you don't drink?
Bars are bad news for non-drinkers. 😉
You don't need to drink. I got hit on last night and I was eating shrimp at a bar, but not drinking. I made conversation, and it was flattering, but I wasn't looking to sleep with some random woman. I was there to eat dinner.
Why do you say "man" rather than person. You think it's worse than being a lonely woman? I do think women seem to have more friends. But just trying to suss if there's a reason behind your loneliness that you can proactively work on.
When I started getting lonely at 33-34 I started a clothing brand. It’s been almost a year and it’s kept me very busy. I’ve learned a lot about graphic design and video editing and clothing design. I suggest you start a business. It will keep you busier than anything else. And the truth is when you start making millions every women on the planet will want you. All the ones who ignore you now will be begging to get in your $500k car and travel the world.
It could always be worse. Just imagine if you’re married to a Instagram influencer whose entire existence revolves around creating snapshots of a perfect click-friendly lifestyle. In actuality, her extreme narcissism and shallowness leaves you in constant state of low self esteem and anxiety. Best to embrace your time alone and try to connect to God who will point your path towards Him and His purpose for your life.

Come to the UK. The middling sort of men here don't like attractive women (there are some!) and many of them prefer men. Lots of single, sporty women here. Seriously, I have several attractive female friends, most of them spend their time getting dumped by no good guys who are cheating on them anyway. A lot of them do sports, that seems a good way to meet people, maybe on race weekends away or training trips. Salsa - a big no, mainly non-European women looking to upgrade their existing source of a visa or the two "O"s - odd or old. And a strange number of married couples who get turned on by slightly flirting with others.

Point is, you can meet women without drinking.
Okay...fine - I don't need to drink.🍻
So, tell me about this encounter: Was the woman attractive? Young or older? If she's a stranger - did she explain why she hit on you?
What a about you? Are you a tall, good-looking guy that experiences women randomly hitting on you.
I don't get hit on like that. For one, I'm getting up in there in age (getting a lot of wrinkles, male pattern baldness, etc 😬). Secondly, I'm a short guy with a runner's built.
And lastly, not being wealthy - I don't have the big mansion nor expensive car to peak women's interests which seem to important these days if you're lacking in the look's department. 🤣

She was mid 30s and attractive. She didn't explain why she hit on me and I didn't ask. I was trying to be polite and disengage, and asking her questions would only lead to further conversation. I was not interested in that. She offered to buy me a drink and I declined. A one night stand with a woman was something I valued in my 20s. As I've gotten older, I see pointless sex as tacky and meaningless.
I'm either with one woman or no woman. Monogamous.
The point about meeting women, some women have a 6th sense. They can sense if you don't have any self-worth. For a guy trying to meet women, he has to have some self-worth and backbone. Earned confidence. You can't come off as servile or needy. That'll drive people way.
I pray that you and the OP keep finding hope each day. I lost my son to suicide and it has destroyed me. We are all flawed and perfection is a mirage. Just know that you are important and loved. Most people don’t realize that, and most people don’t let others know how important others are to them. It’s a blind spot for most of us. Your daily interactions in life have enormous, but invisible impacts. You are needed.
