Here goes the typical shaming response because your droopy body doesn't quite do it for a guy. Save it. |
Keep telling on yourself. |
Keep coping. Hope you find Mr. "Head over toes" lol. |
This is still tame compared to most of the toxic sh*t out there. It really is that bad and then if you add anonymity well, here we are. |
Maybe he's so ugly that no 40 yo woman in her right mind and non droopy body would look twice at him? There are plenty of women in their 40s with great bodies, nothing sagging. I see them in my gym changing room every day .The issue is clearly him |
I’m a different poster, but it’s easy for any women to spot. |
Just as easy as your would-be paramours spotting that you've let yourself go. Stop relying on validation from men to make yourself feel better and work on yourself. It starts within, darling. |

For 35 plus and divorced men, flirting and asking someone out is really high stakes stuff. Most people are at work at that stage in life, which is where you meet people. But if a man gets that wrong and gets shot down for a coffee, that can be pretty darn devastating for careers and the work environment. So most men won't engage with colleagues these days.
So that leaves online, which has its issues. If looking for a partner, I don't think this is a man or woman issue. We don't seem to have neutral third spaces where people can meet each other organically. But the costs are much higher for men who choose to flirt these days. So any man that has professional ambitions shuts that down. The risk-reward calculation is very unfavorable. Even when they really like someone. Don't go there is what every ambitious man has internalized. And the apps are garbage these days. So, many men are checked out. Not because they don't want to meet a partner, but because there are few healthy and interesting ways to get to know someone in a non-dating context. |
This is exactly why women aren’t marrying, and white divorced women are not dating. They realize men have very little offer. They’re not loving or supportive. They are dirty and smelly. If you do your hobbies without them, they get lonely. They expect you to cook and clean and shop for them. They also beat and murder people. Women have just decided it’s not worth it. They have friends. They have their own money and they have their peace. |

How can I work from within when my great offense seems to be living longer than you find desirable? You say middle aged women are overconfident, Now we’re underconfident and should start within? lol. Ok. |
DP. For most couples I see, the woman looks much better than the man. So no, men are not looking for their looksmatch: they are looking for women who are 8s while they are 5s or women who are 5s while they are 2s. The problem is you have to bring more to the table if you are looking for a woman who is more beautiful than you are handsome. That 'more' can be humor, great skills in bed, money, communication skills, emotional intelligence, intellectual intelligence, prestige, etc. But average Joe feels entitled to marrying up as far as physical appearance is concerned. It's not happening. |
So men choose careers where they have no time after work and then whine about not having time to meet women. Got it. If everyone refused to work 60 hour weeks, 3 employees would have to do the work currently done by w employees, and these men would have more time. But nope, men want to work "hard" because money is e erything. Yet money cannot buy them partners. Poor men. Booboo! |

I’ve had a number of relationships before but it’s clear only top tier men get genuine unconditional interest from their partners.
I have lots of female friends of all ages (involved in a bunch of fitness stuff so have become friends with in shape women 20-55) but it’s obvious seeing how women who truly desire their partners treat men vs where partnership is always “negotiated” Not interested in the latter anymore. |
| I think it’s good for everyone. Nobody is settling, so fewer bad marriages. It’s really a win/win. |
