Greed

 There is something inside us that makes us always want more than what we have or can afford. I am guilty of this and I suppose that just about everyone else has been at some point in their life. Considering my age (I am 38) I still look decent. I have all my hair and it is still brown, all my teeth, body could be better but I do what I can with that considering my medical issues. I am not one of those skinny minis but I am not huge either. I am always longing to look like the girls I see in magazines and on tv. I keep trying to remind myself that good looking people have problems also and their lives are not perfect because of the way they look. Somehow I have myself convinced that I don’t have a boyfriend because of the way I look, and every time a guy rejects me, I automatically assume that it is because he thinks I am ugly. Especially if they like a friend who is skinnier and better looking than I am. I have no idea what men are looking for nowadays. I don’t do very well with men in real life so I tried talking to men online, which for the most part turned out to be a disaster. Most of these guys were total jerks and also only looking for beauty queens. I have run out of places to look and am getting older. Too old to play the games guys play. Yeah, I know, girls do it too, but I don’t. I think my whole hang up with the way I look is because the kids in school and even people in my adult life are always making fun of the way I look.

 Just a question for men out there, if anyone reads this or cares to respond…what do you guys like in women and look for?

smarts, confidence, sense of humor, not into drama and/or games… It’s pretty shallow if a guy’s main criteria is looks 🙂

Looks matter, it’s a fact of life. And yes, some guys probably will leave you because you aren’t “perfect” looking enough for them. But just as well. They aren’t meant to be with you. You CAN find someone who thinks you are beautiful, no matter what you look like. And I don’t mean “Ooh, great personality” beautiful. I mean actually beautiful.
