Men who gave up on dating/getting into long-term relationship/getting married, why?

I'm not afraid of getting hurt.

I know I've asked out women on a regular basis, I always get shot down. My friends and family forced me to ask people out, so I guess the reason I always get rejected is I assume women can tell I'm forcing myself to ask them out. I never really thought why no one was accepting me. When I get rejected, I always think "oh well" and just move on.

I was on dating sites and apps for almost 17 years with zero responses and no matches. With that too, I didn't care as well. I know I was only on them for a few days sending out messages and swiping. Then I stopped going on, and after a few months to a year or so, I went back on to check to see if I got anything, and then repeat the process. I did go to a dating coach who told me my profiles looked great, and she gave me a year and a half of premium for them, and I know I was on them for a little more in that time frame then usual for me, but I still got nothing.

When the premium ended on my dating profiles in early 2020, that's around the time I slowly stopped caring. I know I ended up deleting all of my dating site and app profiles and that's when I stopped listening to my friends and family when they ask why I haven't found anyone.
