I stayed in the SUV and when they left, one of the guys said 'Do you think JetJockey will be able to ride the horses? Either she'll squish them or they'll run away before she gets a chance' and they both laughed. I kindly told them I'd been riding horses since before I was born and was certain I'd be okay. They didn't realize I'd stayed in the SUV and thought I ran inside with the girls.

Yep. Can't even go on a vacation without one of my friends making a negative comment about my weight, my height or the way I look.

Some people just aren't attractive and have to try much harder to get any sort of attention, if they can get any at all.
I still don't get what's even remotely unattractive about you. I love tall women. Many guys do too - it makes you no less feminine and no less attractive.

I'm kind of done with all that "love" nonsense anyway. Still getting out of a particularly tumultuous marriage that has left me ruined financially. The only women I seem to attract are those that end up walking all over me because I've been too nice in the past (never ever ever again).

I am hideously ugly, but I have made the decision to join a gym once I'm in a better financial situation and have a place to live. I will hit the gym 4 or 5 times a week, doing weights & cardio. While my face might look awful, at least I can try to do something with my body, not to attract women, but to at least try to feel different. It's all I can really do, aside from putting a bullet in my head and being done with it all.

I'd rather just have female friends anyway, without the pressure of seeking out romance. At least that way I'll self-friendzone, to save being rejected.

J--these aren't your friends. Time for new friends. I bet you're counting the days until Sacramento.

I've known the guys for years and years...they've never said anything bad about me which is one of the reasons I liked hanging out with them. Turns out he's probably been saying all of those things behind my back for all these years. It's lovely.

Honestly, I don't think I'll find anything different in Sacramento. My sister is moving with me, and I'll have my cousin to hang out with but I'm not really in the market for any new friends.

Even when I'm friendzoned I still get negative comments! You'd think that if a guy and a girl were just friends, and nothing more, he wouldn't feel the need to say horrible things about the way she looks. It shouldn't matter.

I've had women do it to me all the time, even when I specifically said that I am only looking for friendship. That why I am just not going to bother anymore. It's a total waste of time and no amount of "love yourself" or "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is going to prevent my self-esteem (which is already in the negative) from taking another battering. No thanks. I don't care anymore and if that means never talking to women to protect myself, so be it. They're not the ones who have to deal with this nightmare 24/7/365. I'm even thinking of taking my CDL so I can become a trucker & can spend much of my life on the road and away from people.

I do like the people on this thread, sight unseen. And I am cracking up every time I read "I have a vagina" under Jet Jockey's name.

Sight unseen?

If you're referring to pictures, I'm at least bold enough to put a few pics up on my profile. Not many posters here are bold enough to do that.
