Where have all the genuine guys gone?

Hi everyone! I’m a newly divorced woman (45) dipping my toes back into the dating pool — and honestly, it’s been rough. I’ve tried the dating apps, but they’ve been more frustrating than fun.

I even had some professional photos taken (mostly for my portfolio), so yes — my profiles look great. I also answer all the prompts with my actual personality. For example, I admit to having an irrational fear of getting eaten by a bear in Yellowstone National Park. Totally plausible, right?

I’m into K-pop and K-dramas, though that’s not all I’m into. I love pop and rock too — but the only concert I’ve ever been to was a Stray Kids concert (and it was amazing).

Here’s the problem: the only attention I seem to get on these apps is from guys who just want sex. The second I show interest in something more — like, I don’t know, a real connection — they vanish faster than a bear at a campsite.

I’m not trying to rush anything. I just want to date someone who eventually wants to be a boyfriend. Do those guys still exist?

Side note: I absolutely cannot stand facial or body hair on men. Everyone has their preferences — that’s just mine.
