There won't be a potential partner now. I simply don't want to look ridiculous dealing with stuff I should have dealt with about 20 years ago. It's too troublesome.

Of course I won't say I'm not sad over this, it was a big achievement for me, but some guys are not meant to be with anyone romantically.

Jam, I'm 51 and never have had a man be in love with me even though I was married for 23 years. Should I stop trying?

And as a friend I do not have a problem. As a lover, NEVER. One or two times, maybe. All the time HELL NO.

No offense to the OP, but there was a thread talking about strippers and how some men see them as damaged goods. Same here with men that patronize hookers. Not judging. Just saying.
Yes, and this is exactly why he shouldn't say it. lol

Anyway, I've got more hugs in the past month than in all my life put together. It was good, but all good things end quickly.

There is no time limit on life, and the only failure in life is giving up on life. Forget what some women say on this thread about you being damaged goods, only you decide that or not. What you just learned though is life is trial and error, and that you can be wanted for more than a payment. Even if you go to another call girl, you should know now there are women out there who want you for you.

If you have anger and jealousy issues, than yeah you need to work those out.

I'd like to hear from her why it would be a deal breaker besides the "possibility of a STD". Is he any more of a high risk for lack of relationship experience than a person who has always been in a relationship but has a history of them falling apart, like someone who has been married 4 or 5 times? Having been married multiple times gives them lots of relationship experience hence the chance of them making good relationship material?
