I can’t say I resonate with this article beyond the headline. I’m almost 33 and I’m single. Out of those years, I’ve spent over 27 of them completely single.
When I say I’ve been married and had a five year relationship - it sounds quite accomplished. But if you reframe it as - I’ve been single for over 27 years… it doesn’t sound very pleasant at all. And it hasn’t been. It’s been brutal. I’ve traveled all over the world looking for someone who would love me for who I am and would be a good person to start a family with - I’ve wound up empty handed. I’ve tried harder than 99% of men, I can guarantee that. I go out hundreds of times a year, travel extensively to meet people anywhere I can, and have used all kinds of services - all to a great lack of success.
It is incredibly brutal for men like myself. For those wondering what the biggest hurdle is - I’m not physically attractive facially. This is my biggest flaw and it is alarmingly impossible to fix. I’ve had cosmetic surgery for my face to improve it but it’s incredibly minor improvements. Anything that would lead to more dramatic changes is quite risky in terms of effects (would I look better) and complications.
It’s rough to work so hard your entire life for no one to deem you worthy of love just because you were born with a shit face. Life is cruel. I wasn’t meant to leave the shit region I grew up in. My genetics were never meant to get where I ended up. I brute forced my way to an incredibly successful position - and it’s clear that wasn’t supposed to happen.
