[quote=Anonymous]First of all, remember the advice you get here is worth what you may.

I am male.  I never had a real relationship until I was nearing 30.  I did have a few short relationships/one night stands before that.

If is really hard to put a good face forward when you don't like yourself.  And just from the way you describe yourself, I can tell that you do not like yourself.

I went through that myself.  What helped me was 1) therapy, and 2) realizing I have good qualities.  When, when I was ready to date (early thirties), approached it in a manner to make my good qualities stand out.

I am "fluffy", not really obese, but have never been thin.  I knew I would not meet someone based on my looks -- they were not bad, and I am appropriately proportioned, but there are no six pack abs.  What I had going for me was intelligence and humor.  And since that is what I cared about, I met someone who appreciated those attributes and  we reciprocated.  Unfortunately, it did not work out.

So, I went out with the opposite of her.  That did not work out well either.  Then I met a woman that things just clicked.  We have been married for 20 years.[/quote]
