It's just tough when you have next to no hips because unless you have zero stomach, you always look fatter than you are. But, I've changed my hair color/hair care, improved my make-up skills and somehow my face has magically become something that doesn't need a lot of make-up. So I fixed my looks. I also used to be a jerk to all the guys because that was literally the only way to get them to not make fun of me and to actually listen to me. They always acted like I was completely worthless in every way and I had to make sure they knew they would regret messing with me. I'm not mean like that anymore…unless I need to stand up for myself of course.

So I've fixed what I saw was my main problems and yet it hasn't helped at all. I don't know what else needs to be fixed or if I can even fix it. And that's depressing because now I don't even know what's so awful about me when before I did.

I just want to feel like I can ask a guy to mess around without being laughed at or something. I don't even know how to ask something like that anyway…I mean ideally, this would happen in a long-term relationship, but if I wait for that, I could be waiting my entire life.

And it's just hurtful that ANY other girl seems to be able to just ask any guy and they'll say yes. And yet here I am, better than most of these guys are ever going to get and I get a no in the most disrespectful manner possible.

Well, it sounds like the guys you've had experiences with are, if you'll pardon my language...mostly ********. People like that will be like that just because they can...they've got unrealistic standards, typically (the 1% of people that are what we're "supposed" to look like are the only people they'll even glance at), and the women they get are, in my experience, not what you want to be. You're not losing anything in those people, and I would tell you not to let them jade you towards your own prospects.

With that in mind, I'm doubtful if there's anything really "wrong" with you. If someone is going to decline you for whatever reason, it is common decency to do so with a modicum of respect. If they're being so callous as you describe, I'd say it's them, not you. You're better off without people like that.

As far as waiting your entire life goes, even I don't recommend you wait to that extreme...yes, I do think it's beneficial to wait for someone you're truly compatible with, but the extreme of that is having such high standards that you end up isolating yourself. To that regard, I turn it over to you with a question...what is it you want out of a guy? What's your "ideal" guy, in a manner of speaking? I might be able to offer a little more with that.

I do hope I am of help, and let me be the first to say happy New Year!

Hugs,
Harley
