Most married women I know would kill to be in your position. I love my kids, but even this morning, I was wishing I had just remained single and childless my entire life. This shit ain’t for the weak.

Preach!

^This. If you're not good in bed, just look for someone a little older whose libido is low. There is a lid for every pot.

I’m good in bed, but I haven’t had sex in like 8 years. OP

So you know, you don't want any at around 48+. It will shrink, go back inside, or disappear completely.

If he folds it in half, maybe he can still stuff it in?

This is spectacularly false.

This is total BS. If OP lives in the DMV, it is very common for this to happen if she's not doing OLD. In 10 years, I only met one man who asked me for my number and then followed up. Granted, the COVID years were in there, but still. You pretty much have to proactively do OLD to meet men.

Or just be hot and out in the world. Men will approach you.

I am hot and this never happened to me all my life.

You are not hot or you are oblivious. No third option

Doesn't sound like it

Are u hot?

If you want a kid then you need to do that on your own asap.

I have a number of friends who could have written this. Some had early young marriages that didn’t last and others have just been single since their mid-late 20s, none have kids though. They are extremely choosy and unwilling to compromise on anything. This is compounded by the fact that you get used to being/living on your own and having everything the way you like it and then you’re reluctant to make any lifestyle changes for a man.

The ones who did eventually marry had to compromise on age (8-10 years older OR younger) and job/income. You can do this pretty easily if you’re not dead set on having children. If you do want a child I would have one on your own at this point, but you would likely need to forego dating for about 10 years so as not to expose your young kid to abuse from “mom’s boyfriend.”

I’m 105 lbs, 5’2.

Have you considered eating more? That's awfully skinny and potentially unattractive to men. Try to avoid looking like a child when you dress.

That's a very normal slim weight for that height. I have a friend who is about that size and she has a nice figure.

What kind of men do you want? What do you want from them?
