I used to be young once.

1993? I was about 23/24 here. Long before I became haggard and tired all the time.I miss hair that long.

There is another thread similar to this.
The better looking ones used to reject the ugly ones.
Now look, our peers have lost their good looks.
Poetic justice. :)

Yeah I faced a lot of rejection but wasn't even that ugly. I would have handed over my left arm to date something so attractive. Nowadays those same women my age wouldn't be worth a date if they drove and paid for the date,

@CestManan I was rejected a lot also when I did get the courage to approach someone. I was always turned down for being too short or too shy. Most of the time it was for height. You are sweet but...

@afterlight Assuming you were as pretty in real life as the photo suggests, I find it hard to believe you had any difficulty dating back then.

@CestManan When you are 5'2" people tend to overlook you.

@afterlight Thing is though, men are not real picky about a woman's height. Height is a standard that women hold men to.

@CestManan I am a man.

@afterlight Trans? I hope this doesn't go over real bad but the '93 photo looks like a woman. Pretty one at that.

OK sorry for the awkwardness.

@CestManan Not trans, I have been a man since birth. When I was a child I looked very feminine and it continued on until my 30s.
