That's a pretty bleak attitude. It's also a blanket statement lacking in detail. Are you using some sort of dating service and people aren't contacting you, or are you talking about people you meet in person through your daily life, or something completely different?

I'm not going to change myself to please others. It'd just be lieing more than I already do, and nothing irritates me more than meeting someone who act one way, who turn out to be another. Besides, there isn't much I can do to change the fact that I'm short and look a good deal younger than I am (don't even say make up. I hate the crap).
What is it that you're lying about now? My baseline thought is that unless you're in the military or one of the federal alphabet soup agencies and need to protect your operational security, there's not much reason to be lying to people. I'm not saying that you should begin a conversation with a new person you've just met by dumping your life history on them, but starting out with lies is never a good idea.

There are plenty of things I don't bring up when I meet new people, depending on the setting, but I don't start things off by lying.

Frankly? Relationships come with a lot of things I'm not interested in, and several of those things are enough to cause guys to lose interest very quickly.
I'm having a hard time not drawing a conclusion about what things about relationships you're uninterested in that make guys lose interest, but I also don't want to assume...
