It's been very frustrating with Covid that I could not do many of the things I used to do. And things are still risky when going into public places with lots of people.

Especially now here in France it's the summertime & we're in the middle of a heatwave so the air indoors is more stuffy & less ventilated.

And you can catch covid from the aircon/ventilation system!

And nobody is wearing a mask whether it's the taxi driver, the hairdresser or even the doctor! Compared to last year or the year before i.e 2020

Since they say everyone is gonna catch covid sooner or later so it's just a matter of time before I catch it

I'm lucky I haven't catched covid as I have taken risks!

It feels like my life has been on hold or a standstill since March 2020.

I don't think I'm the only one in the world where my life has been affected by covid

I think other's people's lives were on hold & on standstill (not only in the UK but in the US & other European countries)

Maybe not anymore ( as of today) but from March 2020 until the winter of 2020 or spring of 2021 as nobody were vaccinated back then so they weren't able to go to nightclubs, pubs or resturants neither due to the need to show your passe vaccinal ( covid pass), passe sanitaire or proof of vaccination ( at least here in France)

Also due to the curfews & lockdowns, that put many people's lives on hold during the last 2 years in 2020 & 2021

It's been very frustrating! Nonetheless to say I have been sexually frustrated too ( like many other I'm sure) due to the restrictions & inability to go to bars/nightclubs or social events to meet women ( not to mention it's not safe to have sex with a girl you just met if she has covid)

But I don't know how I'm gonna make up for lost time since I'm already 36

And people have been calling me names such as incel ( and clandestin in French) but they're too ****** to understand that I want to improve my appearance to make myself more attractive so I appeal to girls/women but haven't been able to because of this ******* pandemic.

The pandemic has complicated everything & made it difficult to live life normally without worrying about catching covid

Because I understand why girls don't fancy me but it's not my fault. It's covid's fault!

I know there are many beautiful girls that are out of my league. And when I see that they have tattoos, piercings, gotten hair laser removal, a nosejob, etc ( all things I've wanted to do but haven't been able to due to the pandemic) and then they look at my pics and see that I don't have any.

They probably thinking "I have tattooes why should I be attracted to him since he doesn't have any?" Which is understandable!

But if it's wasn't for covid I would have all those things i.e tattoos, piercings,etc!

It's like the lyrics to Gayle's song "ABCDEF" :

"I was into you, but I'm over it now
And I was tryin' to be nice
But nothing's getting through, so let me spell it out":

I can relate to the lyrics because I know girls were into me, probably before the pandemic ( before March 2020) but now they're not into me anymore and I don't blame them

I admit I haven't been able to self improve or make myself more attractive due to covid.

They need to understand that I really want to improve my image & become more attractive but the pandemic has prevented me from doing so.

You gotta ask yourself is it worth putting your life at risk ( ie getting a nose job during a pandemic) to make yourself more attractive so that girls will fancy you?

There's a saying "I'd rather be safe than sorry."

Personally I'd rather not take any risks. You can call me a coward but I'm sure you understand why I haven't done those things listed above that I wanted to do

Afterall the pandemic is nearly over so may as well wait that it's over then I can do whatever I like! Without worrying of catching a dangerous untreatable virus like covid & dying!

Since life would have returned to normal like pre pandemic times in 2019

Sorry for the long rant but I had to get it off my chest so people would understand
