This is kind of eating at me. i was reading a very sad true story in a magazine about a woman whose mom died of breast cancer when she was only twelve. before she died, the mom was talking to her daughter about all these things that she wished she could be alive to see like her going to the senior prom and getting married and having kids. my mom's alive and healthy and isn't going anywhere, but what if this woman whose mom died had turned out like me? I DO NOT WANT kids, I didn't even date in high school so I certainly didn't go to the stupid prom and I don't exactly drive men wild with desire so I'm less likely to get married than the pope. When i was 12 i thought i was going to get married when I grew up but i was very naive when i was 12 and I actually thought that adult men would be less obsessed with women's appearance than boys were, I had no idea it doesn't get any better.

Men can be awful about what they expect from women, but they usually can tell the difference between fantasy expectations (models) and real life women they have a chance with. For the most part, it's impossible to be too unattractive for most of the male population. I'm sure you're not half as unattractive as you think that you are, anyway! Most men are too busy thinking, 'oh boy, I get to put my penis into a vagina!" to be criticizing their dates.

I never really dated in high school, either, and I don't really think I'm attractive. I've still had my share of unwanted attention from the shallow end of the gene pool. I hear you about the getting married thing, I'm not sure if it's going to happen for me either!

I've gone on online dating services and guys would be practically begging me to go out with them until they saw me. then they wouldn't even talk to me. One guy even ran out the back door of his work when he saw me; it was a tossup who was more pissed, me or his boss.

Ugh, I stay far away from dating sites because they are filled with shallow creeps like that! That other guy is just an asshole, though, seriously wtf.
