Why Do Men Only See Me As a Hookup? (Matthew Hussey, Get The Guy)

[@SaraSara-lo5mh]

They don't wanna get to know me to stop seeing me as a 2D . whenever I try to have a conversation and start talking about myself, they just wait for the opportunity to turn the conversation to a sexual one. I tried hard but it always turns out like that which is really devastating !

[@evangeliamintzai6302]

Just avoid them then. I have had the same in the past when I was ignored when I talked about myself because their goal was just sexual casual moments. I blocked the number of such guys to never bother me again. Whenever they appeared in my life again using other number they couldn't grasp that I was in a serious committed relationship. As if I was not worthy enough for it. Wtf! As I said ignore them.

Honestly I’m always the “rebound girl/ therapist”. Guys always make me into the rebound girl and I don’t even realize it until I notice all they talk about is there past relationship/ex. They use me for their sexual pleasure but never care to build on an emotional level. Basically never cared to get really get to know me, it’s just a physical relationship. Other times I become the “therapist”, my favorite role. I help them through the heartache, I let them vent , let their guards down and become vulnerable.

What I understood, correct me if I'm wrong. As woman we must stimulate the male brain 🧠. Until we reached their most fragile emotional state. However, I believe for some women this can be a hell of a challenge by many factors. For example women with insecurities. These female lack knowledge on how men think on a neuroscience aspect. Therefore I believe they evolve in their male side. This take place when a female testosterone hormones is higher than her a estrogen hormone. According to @johngray. So we must learn how to be 3D females. Men are simple and very competitive. A female best friend to a men is one that he finds attract, I have listening skills, laugh at his corny jokes, knows how to reject a sex offer but never the less insult their men hood or behaving like a virgin. Once he opens and talk in amore profound vulnerable emotional way. Then perhaps the woman wants to have sex then make sure it's fun and summit when they are intimate. But the listening and understanding when you have reach the right connection. With all the respect. My humble opinion. Sorry for misspelled words.

I am so much more than my body and I showed him my many interests and vulnerabilities and humanness and all. I think I was too authentic of a human being for him and he has issues with intimacy, so he cut off from connection some where along the way because it felt safer to have walls up than for his ego and feelings to be at my mercy.

Matthew: I understand your point, and there is truth to it in some cases. However, I have always dressed conservatively and have always made it clear that I am not into casual sex and I had to remove my profile from dating apps because I was getting 3 - 6 sex requests per week. In college, I realized that I did not have to do anything to instill the thought of sex in a man's head -- it is already there. Every day, men's bodies produce 10 - 20 times the testosterone that women produce, which is why men's sex drive is so much higher than women's. The fact that so many men are comfortable using women as sexual toilets makes me sick.

I have this issue and I’m so over it and dating. I’m extremely private. I’m hardly on Social media I barely have pictures of myself posted. All my posts are about nature and things I love. Guys ask to send a picture of myself and I pretty much show just a face picture which most men love. Then they ask for more as I’m trying to know more about them a lot of those questions get blown away by most men. I make it very clear from the start that I am looking for a relationship and ask what their intentions are as well. Every one of them say the same thing “relationship.” Instead of sending pictures of myself I’ll send a picture of a flower I saw on my walk etc... eventually they ask for a picture again.. I’ll send a candid one of me... then nest thing you know “I’m hot” and conversations turn sexual. Mind you, I’m considerably conservative in how I dress but that doesn’t seem to matter. Am I doing something that’s making me come across as not serious about being in a relationship? This could be someone I just met in public I feel cursed like men only have sexual conversations and desires towards me... and don’t try to get to know me... 😭😐😔

You are not alone about this. Seems like this happens to all women no matter how conservative or liberal you are or how you dress. At the end of the day the problem is the dudes, not us, level headed women. Keep on being you and never change because no matter how you twist and turn to be liked by dudes in the way you want can't be helped. Just wait and see if the next one is right and on your terms about things otherwise you can just brush them off.

I'm 58 and I haven't started dating yet. One thing I did do was get my vaccines. I got the HPV vaccine and Hep A and B. Supposedly older adults don't catch HPV but I don't buy it and my doctor was willing to vaccinate me because I don't have HPV now. Also, asking for lab tests is important. I've heard too many stories about women coming out of a divorce or losing a partner then catching something when they start dating. Asking for lab tests is not full proof but a start. 27% of all new HIV cases are from 50+ adults because many are not practicing safe sex. I've met some really nice men through social groups but too young for me. Some younger men did show interest but I just let that interest slide by. I do look younger on a good day so in these cases they didn't know how old I was at first. I'm just not around that many men my age and most of the ones I meet are married.

Important to add that this is us doing our part to help others view us with humanity, but that they still have to make the choice to do that. If a guy wants to view you sexually and that's all, he's probably going to continue in that regardless. This video presents more of a mindset for us to use so we can weed out those guys, rather than something we can do to change their minds. I personally don't want to have to make the guy I'm seeing view me as a human being; if we didn't start there, we probably won't get there.

Of course, you're assuming that people can change the way others see them. If perception is everything, then it is not necessarily the presenter's job to give a 3D view. In fact, if someone is determined to see me only one way, then no matter how vulnerable I am, they will never see me beyond their perception (for instance my color or that I'm a woman). I try to remember that people are complicated in general. And maybe me thinking every man is only after sex is my own 2D perception that won't necessarily be changed by a man sharing more aspects of himself (especially if that perception comes from past wounds that have yet to be healed). In a very real way, it is the perceiver's responsibility to understand that people are more than what you see on the surface.

[@BrotherTree1]

Some people may understandably hate and feel intense anger to hear this but I'll just say it because the intention is there to help people explore themselves and to improve and embrace their lives and be kinder to others. Complaining about something is usually a projection of yourself. So when your complaining about needs or wants to someone else, you're actually subconsciously "telling yourself off" for not doing more of that. Just adding that in there to further bolster Matt's brilliantly explained answer. Self-awareness is absolutely key to unlocking yourself and embrace your strengths as well as flaws, weaknesses and insecurities. There's no need to be embarrassed or ashamed of it, albeit understandable resulting feelings (explore these feelings, process them, talk about it, and gind resolutions for them to help you let go of these troublesome thoughts and emotions). Again if others shit on you for it, they're projecting THEIR problems/insecurities more than you being the problem itself (unless you fucking hurt them intentionally, delibrately or something). Showing your "best" isn't just onlt the best... it's the whole part of you. That's true beauty, inside and out in my opinion.

Oh thank god. I love this. A new video 😊. ... Wow... I love how real Matt is getting in this ... Thank you Matt and the team for this new video too! ❤Love the content again 💗

[@Warchild-007]

I've been following you for the past 10 years, and I must admit that this post was my absolute favorite of all time. It was funny, brutally honest and I finally felt the frustration that I have been feeling for quite some time now. Don't stop, it has now made me want to buy a subscription to your webinar. Looking forward to your next book!3🙂

Absolutely true. I've been talking to this guy almost a year now and he keeps on asking me naked photos. He got mad for refusing him. I told him my reasons but still he don't understand me. One mean reason I refused him it's because I am not his boyfriend.

[@Hollow-ty3qm]

Why the fuck are u still talking to him? He sounds like trash

So true, Lan! Great advice.

[@starzintheskyz4477]

Now with my experience, I've gone on dates and have talked about people and experiences that have been important to me and every single guy just doesn't pay attention doesn't care and just starts talking about himself. As if everything I've said goes in one ear and out the other. No matter how 3D I make myself I still always get viewed as just a sack of meat to use for a night or whenever is that their convenience. I wish all men were like Matthew. There's something seriously wrong with the male gender these days. The lack of empathy and compassion and listening skills are the biggest problems. Been dating for 7 years and have yet to meet someone that I could even call a boyfriend even for short-term. Approaching 40 and about to give up and become asexual at this point.

[@Itsyagirllizzy69]

This is been my question for a long time I swear men only see me as a casual hook up and I attract all the bad guys and I feel like I have to give up on men and I no one likes me for me and I don’t let men define who I am. I am a independent woman

[@shereent3121]

It seems like many Men have their mind set on hookups these days on the dating apps. I found from wasted dates that there's no changing these type of Men. If they put they are looking for either casual, or long-term relationships, it just means they're looking for casual with a good girl. Taking it slow and/or seeing where it goes are both intentional, and unintentional hookup lines, with outcomes of them wasting your time that you've invested with them, that's got you hooked. I found that unless they're specifically stating they're looking for a long-term relationship, they're just going to waste your time. A guy willing to put himself out there and look desperate, is a Man that is seriously all the way ready to be committed, a Woman that is willing to accept a Man that appears desperate is a Woman who's ready to be all the way committed. It sucks having to skip through cute guys. With very few people really stating they are looking for something long-term and serious it's hard to make a match with that small of a selection of serious guys, especially when a lot of them are scammers and that's why they have their profile that way, with so few being a serious long-term match it's unlikely you're necessarily going to have the same things in common especially with so many sports-loving TV homebody guys these days being the only long term matches. I'd say dating apps can be both good and bad for your validation. It's a matter of learning to choose wisely, and if you end up going out with that cute player guy, get a free dinner and drink then break it off. It's kind of fun paying them back for the type of person they are. If you're seriously looking for the love of your life, you can not expect that to be a simple search though. However learn tips and tricks so you don't waste a lot of time heartache and giving up then going back to these dating apps. If you watch TV most your time do you want someone watching something way different then you. If you like, or have an interest in going to be in the outdoors and being adventures, do you want a homebody? This is all important in compatibility, not just someone being friendly, a lot of people are in half a** unhappy, or half happy marriages where they don't have a lot of things in common, put your priorities more on the long-term, then trying to fit in being married like other people. When people are looking for two different things as far as being serious goes in a relationship, just as much as you're trying to get them to be more serious, is just as much effort they're trying to get you to be less serious, until you finally separate all the way apart.

[@billylenz1070]

Every single boyfriend I've had Always ends the same We talk for a bit and not so close friends He talks more and invites me out becoming close friends They use me Then they ghost me

[@khanelisa]

I’ll be honest... I took a break from watching your videos... but as usual I needed to this! You pulled me back in Hussey! Loved this!

[@smilingblissgoddess]

Yes you're right once again Matthew we have to share more deeply and be seen for our true self and essence, sharing what we love is a great tip! :) always love listening and laughing to you :)

[@charlottelee259]

I’m not sure about that. I have a lot of healthy hobbies like hiking and fitness training. I post different kinds of photos to social media such as travel, fitness, food and me with pets. I only have one bikini photo posted but guys still look at me as a hookup....

[@sarahdavies3690]

Thanks Matt, love your videos. I always try and think now , "What would Matt do/say" it's honestly helping! I'm in my 40's, and wish I'd been educated about relationships back in my 20's lol.

[@thekatigaming]

I sent him the text that you advised to send someone if we're not on the same page and have them spend time alone to figure out what they want out of our relationship, and he was only silent for a few days, so when he texted me I thought "wow, that wasn't long at all, but I'll see what he says and if we're on the same page" so I said "hey" in response to his message and the next day he texted me about how he is thinking about me sexually and wanting to fulfil that fantasy. I seen where I stood with him and I let him go for good.

[@Soouber]

Thanks Matt, for validating what smart self respecting women already know. Why some ppl even asking that is astounding, but if no one ever told 'em before, I can understand. Just self respect....ppl don't have a look at themselves deeply, probably for many reasons. Takes alot of guts to self reflect and change, ask why we do what we do.

[@susanruark3443]

What about your best friend that you have had for 37 yrs. Telling you he loves you and always wished you were his!! Then when you are his he leaves and goes to another town and will not take your calls. What does that make me? I feel like crap and I don't matter and he knows how my life has been!!!! Explain That Please!!!!

[@sandraklein2651]

I liked your take on how men perceive women. However, being a single, educated, refined and I am also considered a very attractive woman, I find it quite disconcerting in that most men seem to just want sex. I don"t flaunt nor dress in a overtly, sexually, suggestive way. I am always neatly and fashionably dressed and present myself in a well-groomed, feminine manner.

Thank you! Just build on what you sent out. Or rethink how you brand yourself. We are people with many journeys, with twists and turns. I never understood why we just show one aspect of yourselves and then complain that no knows us.

[@tayl2991]

I’m 30, had sex with 4 guys over the course of almost 2 years, and have never had a Boyfriend, even though I want a real relationship, not FWB. I had FWB because at the time I was interested and thought it would be fun, and while I was interested in actually being in a relationship, he had gotten out of a toxic relationship and didn’t know what he wanted, so could only offer FWB. After he killed the friendship when he got a girlfriend, I’m even less confident I’ll ever find a Boyfriend and will only be wanted as a short-term fuck buddy. Also, I was a virgin until I was 28, and my sexual exploration happened off and on between March 22, 2022 and September 14, 2023. FWB was April 28 2022-January 31, 2023 and February 6th he texted me to say he met somebody and was dating her, so when he dropped me off at the C-Train on Jan. 31st, that’s the last time I saw him. The first and second man I had sex with both have children, the other two do not. The first man told me about how much he wanted to be with me and whatever, and I’ve only seen him 4 times between March 22, 2022 and today. Third guy was a ONS and the fourth is actually a good friend who really doesn’t know what he wants and isn’t all that interested in sex, but we’ve done it twice. I want something real; I want a monogamous boyfriend with real dates and sex. Problem is either everybody in my age group is taken or only looking for casual sex, so I feel like I’m not good enough for a man to want to take seriously. I also have Autism, ADHD, I’m on Disability, I have a job, I pay Rent, Utilities, Groceries, my Phone Bill, and I live with my Mom.

[@brunnamclean477]

Matt you legend. This was a wake up call for me, I've used the way I look a lot as my power and yes I got seen that way. Didn't realise I was even doing it, it's a default. Thanks for the verbal slap xx

This is so good. Been following you for about 4 years now. Time flies

[@deenasubedi6508]

Hi Mathew, I think this conversation is made countless time in various forms in human history. But while you are saying again this is really great. In the past, I think people, listened to this from their family how not to be dehumanized by men or any other. But these days that touch in the families has gone missing. Great job.

[@mariajoseaguilar4633]

I completetly agree with this video. I was with a guy who didn't talk about anything and I was feeling really uncomfortable. Then I tried to change my way of interaction with him, I started to ask one or more questions about his life, surprisely he answered me honestly and he added more information than I asked for. I was really happy because if the situation was awkward at the start I didn't let that taking me away from the potential experience. I really enjoyed everything about taking that risk :D

[@gabrielav4986]

If I was that girl who jogged past at the start- you better believe I am running RIGHT back around and handing him my number, I’ll add a cute joke about that pile of leaves or something! 👀😂 (ps. Fantastic video)

[@punkrockmetalqueen92]

This is why I try to avoid constantly putting selfies on Instagram, but at the same time I must be doing something wrong because guys still see me sexually often times. I have a huge heart and I always wonder why that is not seen

[@joeldwest]

Too Many guys Are too scummy. Even if you don’t want a family and kids now, Talk about THAT a lot and if they don’t want that, maybe women need to start loving each other more and leave Men to their fucking-around diseases and other Men.

[@mariafernandavalerio1691]

That's is just great ! In my case people (men) always said : you look intelligent and that is scary 🙄🙄

[@silviag3798]

I can relate. I kept on getting "you're too intimidating" for the same reason as well.

[@mazzymaz6158]

In my case I get told Im always smiling. You can sort of tell the ones getting attached or attracted physically try to avoid you to prevent 3D. They want to keep you 2D, those men I start backing away from and ignoring. We got to believe in ourselves ☺ The ones who want to see is in 3D could genuinely be looking for long term relationships helping to fish out all the 2D chaser guys.

[@hopeislandful]

Maria fernanda Valerio guys find really beautiful or really sexy scary too. I get told I'm scary. Guys can get scared off easily by women so don't feel bad.

[@yanislavrusev2167]

Really valuable content by Matthew. I love how his advice applies both to men and women. It's basically a life advice.

[@nicolekeene1417]

I was wondering what your thoughts about arguments are. I personally believe that in an argument stopping yourself from saying hurtful things is the right thing to do. A friend of mine believes that it doesn't matter so much what you say because in the heat of the moment you can't always help it, but it's the way you come back to each other afterwards, and forgiving and moving together forward solving the key issue. I'm very conflicted because while I agree moving forward is important and forgiveness is too, I don't agree with using the excuse of "in the heat of the moment". Thanks so much love your vids

[@eltedelarosa]

I stopped posting pictures with my bodies for a couple of years by now. There are news, education videos, my artworks, quotes, animals family pics. No man likes or comments on my posts at all. What now...? Thank you for the vid anyways. I'll share this too.

[@lucreciatex]

Wow Mathew. Its amazing how you put together the puzzle of different issues in life. You just bring a different approach to everything but is a solid answer. How do you do to figure it out??? Your content is helping me so much to get to know me as a human. Thanks a billion for your sharing

[@MyloJacko]

Thank you so so so much Matthew, I think I have made some dumb decisions in the past. And I’ve always wondered why guys approach me a certain type of way. But after watching this video, blame myself. No, I am not justifying their actions, but I’m holding myself accountable for the way I’ve allowed people to treat me. It’s a hard thing to admit, but I’m slowly learning and slowly coming out of this whole. Thank you.

[@Enchanteralle]

This is so true. It makes it so much easier to reject or be impolite to someone when they are not seen as a full person. This is sadly true for online dating. One click away from passing on and blocking. It's because people don't have to take as much accountability in social media platform and keeping a distance from revealing their true self. Recently met a guy who subtly turned the conversation kind of sexual to test the water, but I held firm boundaries and not follow along. I guess he got the hint it wasn't going anywhere and he ended with a passive aggressive comment for closure. I dodged a bullet.

[@MADZOUA]

Samee

[@Vladimyrful]

Because you sleep with them immediatelly and not stating: "listen I don't do hookups, never have, thus I have a rule: I don't sleep with guys in first :x amount of time: ". Guys who are interested in having a relationship with you won't mind, guys who are just looking for sex will leave immediatelly. You cannot, I repeat *CANNOT* buy commitment from a guy who isn't interested in committing using sex. Case closed. Hopefully I wasn't too harsh but I lament modern women weren't taught this by their mothers/peers. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

[@amnbvcxz8650]

And then there’s noone left who is looking for a relationship. All just want a temporary fun and distraction

[@lex6819]

I've tried to meet men on Tinder and Hinge. Hinge is better - not as many weirdos. But... I don't know how to get from chat to meeting face to face. They are slow to respond, wait several days to respond, and I keep having the same conversation: "Hi how are you today" then several days later they message again "Hi how was your week." And just on and on like that. Is that breadcrumbing? If I archive the conversations does Hinge flag their profiles for breadcrumbing? I wish they would...

[@m.thedistructonator5020]

Okay.........this just touched my heart in ways I can not describe! Matthew, I have to thank you for really opening my eyes to such a beautiful concept. I’ve always been embarrassed to share my....interests perhaps. Never been appreciated for them. However, this gives me a very different yet amazing perspective on life ❤️!

[@Cynister262]

[@mahaalotaibi8352]

My mom always told me to not go clubbing or late nights they all see you as sex object only. Sadly women who are night owls and love being extroverts are shamed for it. I truly never intend to go out for men it was always with friends to have fun and dance! And hey its easier to meet single men outside than at home?! My question is is it better to find someone at night events, day events, or online dating?? Tbh online for me is worse theres no spark and it kills the mystery of meeting new person for the first time in public.

[@sheilablake4858]

A nice subtle way to tell that woman to stop relying on her looks & only putting her sexual side forward. If there’s nothing interesting about you beside looks the famous quote ‘beauty fades, but dumb is forever’ comes to mind. So many women are this way, and it’s just boring.

[@joannerizzavillarin8695]

I agree! 😂

[@margaritam.9118]

It’s not about looks. It’s about a perceived value of oneself. The most attractive women sleep around the least. The most attractive men sleep around the most.

[@gistfilm]

Isn't it shallow to reject a woman for being forever "dumb"? To desire a woman with a "big brain" is just as shallow as to desire a woman with big boobs.

[@laurensouth5547]

I’m wondering if this is only happening to me because I’m not attractive enough. My closest friend met the love of her life on Tinder and it was the first guy she ever dated. She’s a model of course. I wonder if I was hotter... maybe this wouldn’t happen

[@lauren8010]

that's not it, trust me. friend was lucky.

[@53Strat]

Nah, I think being a hot girl actually does not make it easier. Allot of men simply want to fuck just as some women simply want to fuck. The 1st girl I like in a verry long time seems to be used to casual dating and I noticed she is not being honest about things. Obviously she has some other issues but I'm just going to keep it casual since I noticed that. I honestly believe that if you are less hot and a guy seems to be more invested in you and you are not having sex, you can asume its something more serious. In the end you will never know, even people you might consider hot can get screwed over allot.

[@kikid6136]

Matthew, I really need your help. Your videos are amazing and have actually saved my relationship. This one thing in particular is the one question I have searched for and I can't find an answer.... I've given him space, I've left him alone and used that time to see my friends and family and keep my self respect by not going mad by thinking about whether it's something I've done. Now obviously I am hurt and upset but he's come back, he's come out of his man cave and ready to come back to life.... The question is: how do I react? I'm hurt and angry that I can be dropped and picked up, I feel like he doesn't value my worth and has little respect for me as he literally fades out of my life and so I leave him to it. When he comes back do I act like nothings happened? And then later at a more appropriate time address the elephant in the room? What do women say when he comes out from his man cave!? Please help!!
