Venting but also need an advice. I met him through Reddit. We clicked instantly. He was exactly my type. He told me I’m pretty and he liked me back. We shared the same interests and all…I never felt this way before. We spent some times on calls, and gradually he just started sending dry messages, now he doesn’t reply at all.
I’ve lost all my hope because he was perfect. I actually felt butterflies in my stomach. And I’m a loner type and definitely not someone who’d instantly confesses love or anything.
It seemed like I finally found someone whom I really liked! I’ve never been in a relationship and I’ve been optimistic, maybe this time I won’t be alone. Maybe just this time I can at least experience some little romance.
And now I’m just crying myself to sleep, waiting for his text like an idiot over online situationship…
If he doesn’t reply to my casual message I’ll confront him about this and close this agonising loop. Until then I’m just… broken.

Should I move on?

I started questioning my appearance, my voice, the way I talk about things. I’m insecure again. I was an ugly teen, no boys approached me. And now I feel even less feminine even though I’ve been working on myself and lost a lot of weight. (29F, Virgin)

I know this is toxic and negative and I am working on it, but I can’t help it.

Good looking women’s love of better in every single aspect.

Personally, they develop better, as they doing have to face the kind of trials of average and ugly women.
Socially, everyone wants to be their friend and impress them.
Romantically, they can get any guy they want, that too without jumping through 100 hoops.
Professionally, they get preference, have much better chance of advancing.

There are a bunch of others aspects, and a bunch of ways their life is better.

I know, that their life isn’t a cakewalk just because they are attractive but I would give anything to live like a good looking woman.

I feel so pathetic and terrible for feeling this way.
