After my “glow-up” I can’t find a genuine man

My entire life I have been overweight and had a horrible personality. Over the past 3 years I’ve lost 100+ lbs and gained a personality with hobbies and friends. Now that I’ve joined the dating scene I’m not used to men only wanting me for my body. I can’t distinguish men that only want me for sex and men that actually want to date me. It seems that when I was “ugly” at least I could tell when a man was genuinely interested in me. Now I have men straight up lying to my face about their intentions and I don’t know what to do. I’m feeling a lot of burn out and a lot of frustration now that I’m actually trying to find a partner. How does everybody else navigate the dating world as a mildly attractive woman?

The difference between being right and being understood

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.
