I’m 34, and i feel hopeless, ive been in relationships that don’t work out and i end up hurting myself, and i find it really hard to find someone who likes the same things as me, and i blame it on my socioeconomic status and my looks. I try to find somewhere to put the blame, but it’s obvious that it’s me.

    What sort of person are you looking for? Liking the same things isn’t necessarily a requirement. I think values, humor, and personality can overcome a lack of shared interests (or where maybe just a handful overlap).

    EDIT: this lawyer gives some pretty damn solid advice on finding soneone.

    I guess enjoy your passions and try to meet people who share the same interested. Don’t focus on the gender or finding a date. Just enjoy yourself. Then, maybe you’ll be happy and alone!

    Hah. Or maybe find someone idk

      This. It’s like interviewing. Even if you really need the work, you’ll be more confident and more engaging if you approach the interview like you are vetting them

    First be happy with yourself.

    Then, and only then, can you be happy with other people who are happy to just vibe with you.
