> But it’s always something. Too old, not old enough, too ghetto, not attractive. Then when I DO see a man I’m attracted to, I later find out he’s married, has a girlfriend, a kid. Or sometimes I realize I just don’t like his personality all that much. I don’t even know how to choose a man.

You do not have a problem meeting men. Heck, if you’re a 23 year old female and not completely hideous, meeting men is as easy as leaving the house.

The problem isn’t you, it’s the men. Yes, as you’ve discovered, the vast majority of men suck to a lesser or greater extent in one way or other. On behalf of all men, I apologize for that.

Unfortunately, this leaves you with two options:

1. Get Johnny Depp’s email address, or
2. Learn to settle for a somewhat less-than-perfect man.

Have you ever considered volunteering for Habitat for Humanity? You will meet lots of nice young adults, both men and women, there, and older adults volunteer extensively for them. They have children and grandchildren who often come along.

Even if you don’t find a boyfriend, you will definitely make friends there. 🙂
