Maybe it's a good idea to stop reading that junk. I had to stop participating in a message board on relationships on another site because I was getting seriously triggered by the guys posting there that felt entitled to 20 year old supermodels and insinuated that any woman that expected so much as a guy to pay for a date was a golddigger. I internalized that crap and you know who that attracted? Bastards, that's who! It's a shame that some of the most vocal guys on those sites are the most delusional and the least self-aware. But you didn't want those guys anyway.

I am 41, and like I said, I internalized that crap and look where it got me. I don't wear makeup most of the time and dress for comfort, but I still manage to find people to talk to. I'm taking a break because I need to work on myself more than I need anyone's approval right now, but that's a whole different story.
