I believe your usage of the word 'lesser' would've ticked a lot of guys off. You didn't even bother explaining what that quote actually meant, so it's only natural that people took it as literally as you've put it.

Maybe it seems that this 'high horse' attitude of your's is what's keeping the guys away? You gave me the impression that you're the kind who talks about yourself so much as if the universe revolves around you.

However, that's just my first impression of you through words, online. I've met people who portray (whether consciously or unconsciously) themselves very differently when online and offline. Though, what truly matters is not who you truly think you are, but how you portray yourself and give people the first impression.. because once that first mental imprint is created in people's minds, it is very hard to get rid/change that.

Still, I'd give it a benefit of doubt; I think one needs to meet you personally to find out who you truly are.
