[27 / 1 / ?]
It's official. All of my exes have settled down; new lives with stable boyfriends and houses and even kids for some of them, and yet I'm as single as the day I was born. I'd love to believe my parents when they say that I'm only single because I haven't met someone able to keep up with me yet (25, 190 IQ; multiple degrees, decent salary, various niche hobbies), but I can't help but feel like maybe there's something wrong with me. I'm the only common denominator in all these failed relationships. I can't make one last past 1.5 years. Most of the end well before that, either due to me not being I to them or them feeling like I'm not into them enough or our personalities are too different or our life goals diverge too much or whatnot. How do I figure out what's wrong with me and fix it so I can hold down a proper relationship?

Just give them a tiny bit more attention.

Understand that most autist workaholic girls are actually ugly and that you should probably prioritize your desires. You can't want a family one month and then decide you want to focous on hobbies the next month, because it doesn't work like that. If you want a nice girl then you have to hunt through the hoes.

>>16385972 I view women the same way I do men. Humans with their own preferences, motivations, histories and experiences. Difference is I'm attracted to females, and not dudes.
>>16385969 Yeah, I'm extremely independent. I hate feeling obliged to act in a certain way or censor myself for the sake of a relationship. Problem is though, I've found it extremely hard to find women as independent as me with their own goals and aims who I'm also attracted to.

>>16385957 The same qualities that have made you successful may make you closed and unapproachable. It may be telling that the one specific you mention getting in the way is divergence of life goals. Maybe if you allowed yourself the luxury once in a while of taking your mind off your goals and putting it on the person you're with, you might make - and allow her to make - a stronger connection.

>>16385976 I don't ever really plan to have kids or start a family. I just want a partner to share my life with, really.
Oh, and I'm not autistic. Got cleared for that multiple times as a kid.

>>16385979 Umm OP,its good you want a independant woman but does it matter what goals and aims she's trying to pursue?
Another question is how independant are you exactly?How often would you see your gfs for a date?Whats your idea of romance?Maybe your rountine is fine,you might just be lacking in the romantic department.

>>16385984 Ah, there's the deal breaker.
You're a werido and you're going to be single if you don't plan on living in a densely populated area.

>>16386038 Of course it does. How is that even a question? In order to grow as a person you have to be working towards goals and constantly striving to improve. I want someone who can grow with me and travel the world and whatnot, not someone who is happy working in retail for the rest of their lives. I know I sound like a pretentious wanker douche, but there's no point lying and saying I want something else.
>>16386048 Not wanting kids isn't that weird. Besides, I live in the middle of a capital city. Have my whole life.

>>16386116 A typical month? I don't know what that even means. Every relationship is pretty different. I guess we'd chill maybe one to three times a week, depending on how far along the relationship is? Going to dinner, out drinking, going to gigs. Sometimes they'll come chill with friends; some of them preferred not to associate with my friends. I don't really know what else there is to say.

>>16386122 Your friends might be bringing out the asshole out in you. I think you just need to reevaluate your goals, OP. Maybe a girlfriend isn't for you, go hit up craigslist and try being gay for a day.

Some of my friends might be obnoxious when they drink, but they've been there for me for years and pulled me up after breakups and suicide attempts. I'm not ditching them for someone who hasn't done more for me.

There's an impasse that is keeping you single. So many expectations that they have to stop you from jumping off a bridge if they love you, cure you of your depression because if they didn't they aren't worthy. Heal yourself, begin cocoon mode, bruh.

>>16386122 Yeah relationships are different but the backbone of them are, romance and affection.
Are you afraid of showing affection?

>>16386150 No, you're taking what I said out of context. I said I'm not choosing a new girlfriend over friends who have helped me through hard times when the girlfriend hasn't done the same. I never said they had to cure me of depression or whatnot, nor did I imply there would even need to be a choice unless the other party forced it.

>>16386169 Eventually a girlfriend would want to be considered an equal or more between your friends. But it just sounds like you'd rather suck their dicks for helping you not be a faggot a few times.
