I’m genuinely at a loss. I'm not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if I’m just delusional about my looks. Whenever I interact with gay guys around my age (early to mid-20s), I’m either instantly blocked or ignored.

I’m not sure why that’s the case, considering:
1. I'm new to this city.
2. I have no history with the people here.
3. I’m not involved in the gay scene at all, online or offline. I don’t even have an Instagram or TikTok.
4. The city I’m located in is more of a place I sleep than live, so most of my daily human interactions aren’t with people who live here.
5. I know this post might read as a bit arrogant, but IRL most people describe me as quiet and pleasant.

As far as I can tell, there’s no possible way I could have gotten an entire community of gay people I've never interacted with to hate me. And it’s specifically gay guys in my age range. Older gay guys (28+) who are rather attractive are willing to interact with me. Women, straight men, everything else, they’re cool with me.

I thought maybe I was being too picky, so I tried speaking to guys who don’t exactly fit conventional beauty standards, and I got the same results, instantly blocked or ignored.

I’m not sure what I did, or if I’ve been delusional about my looks, or if I fit outdated standards that don’t appeal to people my age. I just want to date someone who isn’t nearly a decade older than me (I tried it, and I hate the way they act like they’re my father).

I know I’m not entitled to their time and attention or anything, but it’s actually insane how for 10 months straight I’ve gotten the same result every time.

I just moved to the northern Suburbs of Illinois and I’m struggling to find any lgbt events up here that aren’t in Chicago or aren’t all white people. Idk if yall know something I don’t because it’s lonely up here. Let me know if yall know somewhere.

Just wanted to celebrate trusting the process :) Any other loc’d peoples in here?
