April is a former Ms Great Britain... so why does she claim it's impossible to find love? The answer gives a troubling insight into the mindset of many young men today as beauty queen reveals she gets 'ghosted' after dates

For an 'empowered, super-successful woman' (her words), 2020 Ms Great Britain April Banbury can be rather daft when it comes to men.

She's met goodness knows how many online in the past few years, dated 'more than 100' of them and slept with 'the ones I felt I might have a connection with potentially'. Then . . .

'They just ghost me,' she says with a look that's part fury, part hurt on her very pretty face.

A sad unspoken truth is that the more people sleep around, the more their expectations grow for the next partner. People may not admit it, but it absolutely plays a factor in one’s ability to be satisfied in a stable relationship.

This is probably triggering a few people, but it’s a fact. One may be the exception because they haven’t carried it to the level that many people would, which is to blame the new partner for not being all that the other were.

And again, we are referring those with many partners. There are so many other issues that come into play at that point anyways, people hardly ever get around to working this one out, and by then…

For guys, the way to happiness is not to marry a woman because she’s beautiful.

Marry her because she’s a best friend who happens to be eager to have sex with you at every opportunity.

A 50+ y/o was able to land Bezos, Don Jr, probably a few others as well.
Its her not them.

Male or female, one should try to find a compatible spouse relatively early in life and hang on to them.

Those who "hold out" for the perfect mate almost never find one and the older you get the harder it gets. Meanwhile, those people have overlooked or cast aside people who would have made an excellent spouse if only they didn't set their standards so unrealistically high.

>>Interestingly, I have noticed a tendency that the prettier a girl is, the less well she ages. Some women who were average when younger seem to have kept their looks better and actually make more attractive older women.<<

I have a relative who was gorgeous at 20, and still drop-dead gorgeous at 40+.

She got married to a good guy at 21, they are serious Christians, and have kids.

I think that spending your 20s partying away takes a toll.

Her boobs are too high to be real. Now I doubt everything she says.

I think I first saw this in an article here, and it belongs on the thread. SMV = sexual marketplace value. It sort of says what you just said.

Do you mean that she is getting “freindzoned”.
Man that’s a bummer.

“I wonder if those five mail her Christmas cards.”

Advice to her: don’t talk about how many men have screwed you. Post something other than cheesecake photos.

>>…beauty queen reveals she gets ‘ghosted’ after dates…<<

It’s real simple.

Looks will get you a first date.

Being fun to be around will get you a second date.

Being enjoyable company (a subtle but important distinction from just being “fun”: does being around you create joy?) gets you more dates.

Being a good person gets you a ring.

I posted this elsewhere, but I’m gonna repeat it here: her boobs are too high to be real. Makes me discount the truth of everything she says.

There is a truth in life: An moderately good looking woman who has an attractive personality and genuinely likes the company of men (and not just in the carnal sense) will never lack for a man to have a relationship with.

I remember back in the day, you would go to a party, and there would be a girl surrounded by men. She might not be in the top 30-40 percent of attractive women, but she has an inner attractiveness, an appreciation of men for who they are, and a welcoming smile on her face.

Men would flock to a woman like that as flies to honey.

I recall hearing people (both men and women) speculate on this, and there were a number who thought it was because she was “loose” or “put out”, but as a man, I did not see it that way.

She had a good, pleasant personality, simply liked men, and didn’t make it all about herself.

Some women would be puzzled by it. But some (like my wife) understood that dynamic quite well.

This woman is a good looking woman. If she had even a modicum of genuine appreciation for anything but herself (and an even moderate inner attractiveness) I have no doubt she would be in high demand past a first date. Hell, she probably would get some guy who would woo her like mad after the first date, and might never get back into the dating scene before she got into the long term relationship scene.

And this is even taking into account the probability of genuine likely widespread weirdness of male-female relationships in men due to the deliberate and heavy cultivation of that...weirdness...by society today.

Jordan Peterson recently did a long interview with a guy who had been through that family court meat grinder, and is now trying to dismantle it. It is part of what needs to happen to rebuild our culture.

Forty is still good looking territory.

Sixty and older is when it really happens.

Plus, it’s more of a tendency, not a hard and fast rule.

The other thing that takes its toll is face lifts. They work for a while, but once a few years have passed, they do more harm than good.

Looks fade for all of us. If one banks on that their whole life, they better be prepared for disappointment and sadness.

Best to understand that early on.

Who, me???

I am not a feminist and I am certainly not alone but since you brought that up, I am guessing no woman will have anything to do with YOU and you blame YOUR shortcomings on ‘feminism’.

Stop attacking people because they don’t agree with ONE post. Unlike you, probably basement dweller switching between porn and FR, I don’t spend all day online.

Mind your own business.

No.

It is just not a nice thing to say. But did that feel good to say that about me?

Did it? I know so many women who are widowed, who have been abused and other circumstances why they are alone. but not because someone is tired of them.

I hope your life gets better. You are a sad soul.

And FYI, my husband has cancer. Third round. I hope you have a nice day. Try to say something nice about someone or at least don’t say something mean.

Well, I have known so many women who were abused by men, beaten, drugged and raped, MURDERED, left with kids and no income, left so far in debt they ended up in a women’s shelter with their kids but I wouldn’t make a blanket comment about all men.
