Ok I'm a 28 yr old Aries female. I think I'm pretty easy going, extroverted, fun and a relatively good catch for a relationship. I hate drama but love to help and please the people in my life. I'm extremely creative and can do anything with hands like art, sewing, cooking, photography, mechanic, carpentry, electrical wiring, hair, make up, nails you name it if I haven't done it I??ll try it. Why dear god are men so afraid of me?! They will just stare and not say anything and when I start a conversation they mumble and look away or just leave. It's infuriating! Ok granted I know I'm a tough pill to swallow. I'm super opinionated a bit boisterous and generally a very alpha type? I dress well and always have my hair/face/nails done. I may appear high maintenance but am a total tomb boy. I typically attract earth signs and much to my dismay I am attracted to earth signs. I've dated 3 Taurus, 2 Virgo, 1 Capricorn and they have been my longest lasting but also most draining and difficult relationships. The Leo and Aquarius have remained very close friends after the break up. The most positive relationship where I had tons of freedom and personal growth was with the Leo. On the other hand it was awful because I had to conform to his standards and ideals and having a different opinion was like a personal betrayal. At this point I'm open and ready for the dating scene but the dating scene seems to not be ready for me??_I literally want to pull my hair out. Any advice or tips for approaching men because it feels like I'm going to have to do the courting.

My advice would be to ask some friends (male and female) what they think of you. Self perception is often distorted.

You can approach men. However you are starting off with a role reversal so be prepared for more of them going forward. You may like it since you are an "alpha female".

Don't approach men, flirt, smile, be friendly, be seen and let them approach you. Don't talk to much, nor tell too much of your business. You may even meet guys doing what you love to do. So get out and enjoy life, you may run into someone with mutual interests.

Guys have no balls anymore. Their confidence sucks and they seem to want doormats despite claiming the opposite.

Either that or you're sending off a "high maintenance" bitchy vibe.

I have the same problem and I've talked to guy friends about it. I basically get friends zoned because I don't act like a typical girl and they get THAT comfortable with me that "relationship" doesn't come to mind. Sex, yes. But relationship? No. Friends zoned!

yeah, yeah, yeah.....you're smart funny pretty loyal sexy etc - gee wouldn't you make a great FWB?

Fuck. Off.
Go marry a doormat. And don't come grizzling to me later when she stops putting out; unless you want to see me doing the happy dance🙂

And just to show I am not completely one sided, I saw it posted somewhere on here yesterday "...if he thought you were a good woman he wouldn't let you go.."

So you can look at it anyway you want. Let me know when you have the answer.

I gotta love it when they high tail it out of there as soon as you say no, or they realize that they aren't going to get anywhere with you. Especially when they go on and on about your friendship and how much it means to them. "Fwb? No? Bye!"

"Don't have time" my ass. They just don't want to feel trapped by a relationship and try to sucker girls into it so they can get free nookie without the committment. Lazy and disrespectful guys anymore...

I try not to be offended.....hey at least I know I am not invisible😉

Being hit up as a fwb tends to make one feel invisible. Especially if they can't be bothered with a relationship with you. Good enough to fuck but not good enough to keep?

I'd rather be invisible if that's all I'm seen as good for.

I mean if married guys/just-looking-for-a-shag types etc can see me then genuine ones can see me too. Just keep shooing them away til a Real Guy comes on the scene.

It's the opposite in my case, apparently. :x

But then I get a lot of "YOU'RE SINGLE??"

I dunno, has left me quite confused. Been trying to figure that one out for awhile. That Libra really fucked with my self esteem too, so I've just been at a total loss and been fine in recluse mode.:/
