I'm pretty messed up otherwise, so I have a crummy attitude. It's partly my fault, I guess. I'm not a fan of man because of my childhood. It's very hard for me to fight negativity.

I do think the beauty standards currently are unrealistic. The big problem is men's attitudes towards women. No matter what we do we are still nothing more than objects. There are exceptions, but I've never met one and I'm in my 50's.

I no longer, and haven't for many, many years, expect men to like me for any reason. I had a psychotic break a few years ago and it was a real wake-up call as to what men really think of me.
Thanks for this!
