Today, I realized that I've only had 3 men show interest in me: A blind man, a drunk, and a guy so desperate, he's been trying for over 5 years of solid "No"s. I'm 21. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized I'm a failure as a man. It's been 17 years since a woman even touched me. I grew up fatherless, have completely lost hope for any chance of a wife or kids. I'm 35 and never been in a relationship. I'm a complete failure because of all this, and have become a monster. FML
Today, I lost all hope of finding a man. I’m gonna be 34 and I can’t get a date to save my life. I was cursed with a facial deformity and 285lbs of weight, making all men run for the hills. All of my younger sisters have got married and started families. FML
Today, after crying after remembering how horribly wrong it went, 10 years ago, with the only person I was ever able to trust enough to let them get close to me, and how no amount of therapy seems to help me, I read an FML about how nobody wants to date a 30 year-old who has never dated. I'm 29 and might as well give up. FML
Today, it's been since 2014 that I've been looking for a girlfriend, and the average response I've gotten was no. Today I got, "Ew, hell no." FML
Today, I once again have to attend a family gathering and never hear the end of, “Julie, you’re 33 and you still haven’t found a man?” What they don’t understand is that every time I pour my heart out to a guy, I always get the ladder kicked out from under me. As a result, I can’t get close to anyone anymore. FML
Today, I got beat up at the bar. Why? I politely rejected a guy's sexual advances, so he turned to physical intimidation. I'm a soft-spoken 5'6 straight male. I've been ghosted by every woman I've talked to in the past two years. The only attention I've gotten is from men who can't take no for an answer. FML
Today, after years struggling with obesity, alcoholism, and mental illness, I finally decided I'd fixed myself up enough to try dating. The first girl I went out with said, "You're 31 and you've never dated? Sorry to break it to you, but nobody's going to want to walk a 31-year-old through Dating 101." FML
Today, after a nice Thanksgiving with my parents, and the usual question about when I'll bring a woman with me to meet them, I absentmindedly launched the usual dating app. I swiped completely dry with no matches, reminding myself that my entire city doesn't have one person interested in dating me. FML
Today, I, someone who has experienced only one romantic relationship in my 35 years (which ended 8 years ago), was hit on by a homeless drug felon client at work. FML
Today, I realized that I'm at the age that whenever I mention a friend of the opposite gender, my family's first response is asking whether that friend is single. I've already accepted no one will want a pathetic freak like me, so their poking around what few friends I have makes it awkward. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Whatever you do, don't date someone just for the sake of having someone. That usually causes more trouble emotionally down the road. My friend recently did that and he's already in a world of trouble. Better to find someone you love later in life than settle now with someone you don't want. I daresay it hurts less to be alone forever than to be with the wrong person. There are tons of people your age with the same issue so you're not alone. You got this.

Don’t worry the right one will come along. Just be patient and trust yourself.

Give the desperate one a try. Doesn't sound like you can be too choosy yourself.

you say that without knowing her or him.

I'm reading between the lines. A 21-year-old girl who can't get any male attention must be pretty awful.

And a dude who has been obsessed with someone for 5 is considerably worse.

They're probably on the same level of attractiveness and she overestimates herself. Lots of ugly people do that.

Okay and your issue with blind people is...?

I’m also wondering why it’s an issue that he’s blind.

I think the implication was that they can’t see what op looks like. To me the post insinuates that op feels that they are so unattractive that no one is physically attracted to them.

There's also nothing at all wrong with not wanting to date someone with a major disability. These things do have a significant impact on your life if you end up living with said person, and it's perfectly okay not to want to take that on.

Having more than one good choice is superfluous anyway. Was there an actual issue with the blind guy and the desperate guy, or do you just want to reject men so you can feel better about yourself?

Going out on a limb here, try eating less sugar and going for runs.

I can understand turning down a drunk, but why not have a date with the others?

so what's so awful about the guy that's been asking you out for five years that your desperate ass keeps saying no or are you just saying no so you can have someone begging for you 😂😂😂😂

Desperate people are the best partners!. They often try the hardest at making you happy.
