No one has brought up how medical and health problems can leave someone alone in their life.

She does not even talk socially to men.

I wonder how common this is. Women who have sworn off men and people over 45 who have never had a date with someone in a romantic way.

Do you know anyone like this?
Its more shocking to hear of a woman going this long being single than it is for a man

How so homie. A woman with a personality defect has
a far greater chance of winding up alone than a man.
I even know a few. Plus a man can always pay for sex.
Let a woman try that, she'd be called all types of stuff.

Because men are still expected to be the initiators, and for some guys that skill or gimmick takes a while to learn or never becomes natural common sense

Like said a man even with those very serious flaws
still has a shot at atleast a sexual satisfying life. More so
if he ever learns to play the game. A woman who is
male repellent is much more limited whether that's
by choice or not.

This thread is like a wake up. I really don't want to end up in the situation the OP described. Sounds depressing. I'm over 20 years away from being in that situation though, so I got a lot of time.

Yep. Dsability is a BIG turnoff for people and can lead to a whole lot of misconceptions and outright lies about the disabled person in question.

And yeah, I speak from experience.
