Been trying to get a girlfriend for 5 years. No success. What is wrong with me?

25m.

I joined this sub when I was 20 and I took a lot of advice from many different people. I’ve tried online dating apps, approaching irl, even being friends with a girl first. Since then, I still haven’t had a girl like me back.

It’s already been 5 years and so far, I haven’t been on a real first date. Haven’t had a girl have crush on me. Basically the “closest” was having a girl best friend.

About 90% of girls flat out say no. 5% give me their Instagram and ghost me. Then 5% at least would want to be friends with me. But there hasn’t been 1 girl who likes me back.

I understand I’m still going but I’ve been trying for 5 years and have made this much progress. I’m pretty sure this will be same for the next 5 years and I’ll be 30.

So, does anyone actually have advice?

Can some be brutally honest and judge my appearance (dm me for pics)?

Why is it so hard for a guy?
