Plenty possibly can, but there are so excited women who are simply not desirable to different types of men.

Ok, but if it's someone who we would never really want anyway, it's not much better than not being able to get anyone.

I've been single for more than twice as long as you have. So why aren't you so much better at coping with being single than men are? That's what I read here all the flippin' time at least.

I mean being single sucks when you don't want to be single, or you aren't getting certain needs met, physical or emotional. But you probably won't die from it. I think men have though? Probably both sexes have died in this way, I maybe remembering this being worse for men or something.

Ramble ramble ramble.

Aww, Froggie! Nice to see you around, btw. I'm one of the guilty parties, for having posted once (or twice ) that generally speaking (there are always exceptions) women tend to deal with it better than men. I admit it. But the OP's situation is a little different. She was used to getting a fair amt. of attention from guys, she says, then suddenly, after some bad experiences on OLD, I take it, suddenly--nada. So she's bewildered, and doesn't know how to take it, except as a massive global rejection. IDK, maybe she's been moping around since her last big disappointment, and people are picking up on that vibe. Maybe she hasn't been her previous, vibrant self, for 3 years. We could speculate. But for whatever reason, this is the new normal for her.

So, how are you doing, Froggers? Same old, same old? Best wishes. Give yourself a vacation to someplace nice. Someplace with nice ladies.

This is why the city sucks


Really you don't have women flirt with you? That generally includes a look in the eyes and smile.

Just a natural smile not one that is fake or forced, and not to every person that walks by.

I have a little cutie that smiles at me at work a good bit. I think it's adorable. Not creepy at all. Very beautiful and graceful actually.

This is exactly how I feel. It's as though being 'invisible' has been my new 'normal'.

Back in the day, I had no problem attracting men. My friends would be shocked at how much attention I got because they thought it was above average/normal attention a woman would get. I never thought much of it, until it stopped completely.

The only people who dare to hit on me are teenagers (13-18) and old wealthy men (which is creepy). There's clearly no in-between.

Granted, I look younger than I actually am and I'm petite, but I've had this feature all my life. I get starred at by men/guys when I walk down the street, but that's about it. I sometimes wonder if they're starring simply because they think something is off with my face ha.

3 years single isn't really that long.

The OP will be fine overall.
