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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I realized I will never find love again. I broke down after I finally realized that no woman will love me like I used to be loved. I have not dated anyone for almost 10 years. I try to go on dates, to no avail. I will forever be alone and I will forever be tortured by my loneliness. FML
Today, I've come to terms that I'm only living to work. I'm going to be 25, no friends, never had any experience with women. Been trying all year to meet someone, hasn't worked out at all. Dead end job, school did nothing for me. I literally just exist to work, and have no happy memories at all. I give up. FML
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
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, I’m getting my fallopian tubes removed because I've lost all hope of finding a man. I’m 36 and I've kissed frog after frog and no Prince Charming on the horizon. I can’t get a man to stay/commit to save my life, so I’m throwing away the dream of having a white picket fence family to be confined into celibacy. FML
Today, I left my wife of 25 years. For every one of those years, I was treated like a stupid child or a worthless burden. When I finally got fed up, everyone said I was the bad guy. I just want to be treated like a man. FML
Today, I'm 23, but my development was starved due to my overprotective parents. My peers never accepted me, even though I tried to find someone to be friends with. To this day, I've been told I come off as creepy by more women than I have fingers on my hands. I feel like a fifteen year-old walking around in a man's body. FML
Today, after being horribly treated and dumped by five men over a span of six years, I have finally come to the conclusion that I must be the problem. FML
Today, and after I started losing my hair during my high school, my confidence is gone. I've struggled approaching women and have missed many opportunities. I'm 36 years-old now. Today, I connected with someone online, and when I told her about my situation, her response was, "Sorry, I'm not feeling that spark." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Now that you are aware of your difficulties you can work on them. Seek therapy, do things for others, go make some sports, discover new fields of studies, become a volunteer, find a positive hobby and the best is yet to come.

None of what you say makes you a ‘failure’. You are only young - most of your life is still waiting for you.

You are not a failure. You are amazingly uniquely you.

Nothing of this makes you a failure. And nothing of this makes you a monster. What makes you a monster is deciding to not do something against the progress of becoming a monster.

This weekend should work out great for you! You might win some Halloween costume contests without even trying.

Hey failing is a huge part of being a man, my man. No reason to give up hope. It just takes a spark to start something. But I would look into talking to someone professionally, as it sounds like the lack of strong male figures has wounded you my friend. Kudos to you for making it this far, that is something to be proud of

My uncle didn't get married until he was 50. There's time, trust me. Go talk to a therapist, it'll do you good.

Don't give up hope, man. I didn't really start dating until I finally got my life together at 34. By 39 I got married to a tall, blonde 24-year-old college babe.

It's never too late. Just work on yourself and when you're ready, someone will come along.
