I Think I Am Ugly

What a stressful day it's been. All I want are strong arms around me to give me comfort. It's times like this that I wish I were still young and beautiful. Men want to hold the young and beautiful, not the old and ugly.
😔 *sigh*

No, you are not,being older should not make you ugly in the eye of a caring friend.I do not have a "boyfriend" but I have a good male friend I can share quite a lot with,it is male company without the commitment of a closer relationship.But if you could make male friends who like you for yourself and not because you are young and pretty,(and those are not woth bothering with as they are shallow),something more could develop over time,I hope you do not think I am preaching to you. But those men who only will love you for your youth and beauty are not worth bothering with as you could not even make a friend of them.

@berangere I've never had male platonic friends. Never met a man who only wanted a platonic friendship with me. Now, I don't meet any men at all. That's partly my fault because I don't like what age has done to me. Couple that with 25-years of rejection, and that keeps me in self imposed isolation. Better I reject myself than have a man do it. Yes, its left me with issues, and being older and time ravaged just adds to how bad I feel.

You are blessed to have a male friend like that. Does he hug you when you need one?

Yes he would if I needed a hug, his wife was a dear friend who died of cancer 3 years ago,I worked with her husband who now is my friend.I think platonic friendship with guys is better than friendships with women.If you could meet someone on the social level and become friendly with them,it could fill your need for companionship without more commitments and often such frienships can become more intimate.

@berangere I'm sorry about your friend, but it's good you have each other for comfort and hugs.
