I am a young looking 44, not ugly, not obese, and want a guy who is halfway decent looking, and with whom I can carry on a decent conversation. I just want someone who "gets me" and who I'm attracted to. My friends who are happily married, to hot guys, with perfect cute little children, seem to look at me like someone who should be desperate and take whatever crumbs come my way.

I'd rather stay single thank you very much
What kind of "friends" have "hot guys" for mates and steer you towards Uncle Fester? Where did they meet their mates? Maybe if you did what they did, you'd get what they got. Or maybe get some new friends that are single and looking too.

I could walk out to one of the college bars and get laid by some young, naive college boy in about 10 minutes if I wanted to. I don't want an ONS and I don't want a FWB, you seem to think that all I want to do is go out there and have sex with random people and that couldn't be farther from the truth.

It's nice to know that just owning a vagina and having 'nice boobs' is enough It's apparently not enough to attract a decent man who isn't just using me for sex. Who knew?



No. I've sent a few pictures to people on this forum (face pictures, clothed full body pictures) and it's been confirmed that I'm unattractive. I'd rather not go through that again. I actually had one guy laugh and tell me 'good luck'.

And lots of us, me included, have also said that you are very attractive. But of course our opinions don't count.

Because the vast majority of men in my age bracket don't give a crap what you are 'on the inside'. It's all about the candy coating.
See bold...

I won't be one of those girls.

As for the 'attractive' thing, the picture I have posted is many years old and taken with a 'fat girl' angle. I won't post anything current up on here.

Moving the goal posts? No so much. Just telling the truth and being realistic. So many men on here complain that women are 'too picky' and that their standards are 'too high' and when a woman says that she knows exactly where she stands all of a sudden she's wrong? It just doesn't make any sense.

you can always lose weight if you think it's making you unattractive. Is it related to your disorder or just an excuse?

It's mostly related to my disorder. I've been working with a nutritionist and a part time personal trainer for a little over a year now and have lost a whole 15 lbs when most would have lost 50 or more. I'm working on it, but it's a lot more difficult than a 'normal' person.

No, there is not someone for everyone. There are people out there in their 50's and 60's who have been single their whole loves, and in the end they just get used to it and accept it. I've known people just like this, and there are even tv shows about this. All these movies, songs, magazines, and especially books are to blame for this romance fairytale crap. It's all brainwashing.


It just irritates me when people say this phrase. For a lot of people, there is no happy ending. It's much better to be realistic.
I agree. There is NOT someone out there for everyone. I'm proof of that.
