I have long harbored a belief that men cannot be trusted as I have had many cheat and deceive me in the past.

You mentioned attraction to unavailable men. I wonder if this passage is another side of that same coin: just as attraction to unavailable men keeps you safe from intimacy, so does the experience-based, but nevertheless inaccurate, belief that all men cannot be trusted. I suspect that much of this has been shaped by the "Daddy issues" you mentioned. Have you explored these matters in therapy or would you consider doing that?
