Hello,
A bit about me first: single, never married, 38, no kids, good career, college educated (3 degrees) and generally a nice, all-around person. I have nephews & 1 neice I love to spoil too. My parents have never had any real issues & they've been married over 40 years now. My siblings are both married w/ children, seemingly happy w/ their marriages too. I am 100% straight, love men & adore them too.
Since 2004, the last time of my last REAL long-term relationship, I've had many, many difficulties in the dating field. I have been on countless websites, gone to clubs, bars, the shore, church events, sporting events, etc. I am a Roman Catholic, go to church when I can & am no zealot though.
I am also very full-figured. At 261 lbs. and 5'4", I was classified as obese. I dress in baggy clothes, wear 2x in clothes. I try though, to keep clean, fresh, vibrant by making sure I am washed, perfumed-up, hair clean, clothes nice (even though they're very baggy). I am working on an exercise program but, that is taking time understandably. Yet, with my personality, I am NOT a sexy woman. I have never been. I just don't see myself as "sexy". I would never buy sexy clothes, underwear, nightgowns. I would never shop in Victoria's Secret or Agent Provacateur, etc. I cringe at the thought & feel almost emotionally debilitated that I am so unsexy, unattractive, have a very, "masculine" looking face.
However, w/ my funny personality, being open & nice to everyone no matter what & being responsible, dependable & reliable, I feel as though, I am an all-around good person. I try to give to charity, be nice to everyone & take care of my responsibilities (not being mean, trashy, user or a gold-digger). I feel in my heart I am a good catch.
If this is the case then, why has it now been 7 years since, I have not had any man ask me out, approach me? I have not had any form of hugs, kisses or physicality in 7 years too. All in all, I have had no love in 7 years.
Hurting inside though, I have been resorting to go to fetish sites where I have had men debase & degrade me in shouting to me online or on the phone how horrible I am. I believe what they say b/c I haven't had anything as I've stated in 7 years. It's like I "feel" when these men treat me this way.
I'd like to ask if I have all of these great things going for me then, why isn't things happening? Should I go back online to eharmony/match/meetup.com?
Should I go out more in the community? And, what about these fetish sites (where I do identify myself as a total masochist/sub/submissive/switch)?
Isn't it PATHETIC not to have ANY form of ANY LOVE or ANY SEX in 7 years now?
