This is going to be a wildly unpopular opinion, but this doesnt seem like your standard thot. She says she doesn't like casual sex, only wants to date guys she really cares about, and wants a relationship. I dont see how the choices shes made are substantially different from what most guys do, save for I've never met a guy who had a problem with casual sex.
I think this is a girl who was raised on Hollywood romances, and is waiting for prince Charming to show up. Unfortunately, that doesnt happen in real life. Love isn't a squishy feeling you get for another person. Love is all the shit you do for that person despite wanting to choke the living shit out of them, because at the end of the day, shes got your back, and you have hers.

Reading the article its pretty clear she has this idea of the perfect partner somehow standing out above all the rest but theres a fair chance she herself isn't what her perfect partner wants so shes pre-emptively blaming herself to get sympathy.
I'm most women I've met in my age bracket (30-35) do a lot of that because they don't know that they've fucked it up in an obvious way everyone can see. She probably passed on a guy who had his shit together because he wasn't meeting the perfect ideal Übermensch mental image she had if she even had one of settling down so that mostly ideal guy fucked off to someone who cared about them despite any perceived or actual flaws. Also same author wrote "How my Struggle with Trichotillomania Affects my Love Life" aka she manically or obsessively pulls out her own hair.... sounds like a real keeper.
BONUS: She also wrote "I contracted genital warts -- Why I'm not ashamed"

Remember your first big experience with buyer’s remorse? I remember mine. I had a bunch of old Sega games I had saved up for over time and bought with my own money. I enjoyed them, but I heard about this new concept where stores would buy your old games for store credit. I figured the games I had were still in good condition, so they must be worth close to their original value. The allure of getting a whole new stack of unplayed games was too much to pass up, so I carefully boxed them all up, went down to the store, and dropped them on the counter. A few moments later, the checker was rifling through my stack of game, checking them each against a laminated book of prices, and when he was done, he printed off a coupon and handed it to me. It was a coupon worth $7 in store credit. I was shocked, but my stubbornness wouldn’t let me go home with that same old stack of games I walked in with, so I took the coupon, and with more money out of my own pocket I picked out a single game I knew nothing about in trade for my stack of games that I enjoyed playing with again and again. And of course, I got home and found out I got a shitty game that I didn’t like. I felt like the biggest fucking idiot on the planet.
Now I look back, and I realize it never really mattered much in the end. It was just some dumb videogames, and I learned a valuable lesson from it in the end. I mean, it could have been worse. Instead of videogames, it could have been my entire fucking life. And instead of getting a shitty game out of it, I could have thrown the entire first half of my life away for nothing and ended up with the entire second half of my life being miserable and alone.

There was a place in my home town that used a tier system - if you brought in, say, a Tier 1 game, you could trade it and $5 straight across for another Tier 1 game. A much better system for this kind of thing than giving a kid 10 cents on the dollar for his old used games.
Edit: I get your larger point as well - I just thought this was a better way to handle game trades. I don't think there's a good corollary for this business model with women.

Thank you. I had no idea what the OP image was about. People need to stop posting shit images like this and start posting actual articles.
