I'm considering, aged just 38, of giving up the whole dating scene. The prospect of the single life depresses me but I've come to the conclusion, after three years of internet dating, that I'm simply too ugly to attract anyone I might fancy.
I've met some wonderful people, and some not-so-wonderful ones, but the truth's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Nothing has lasted beyond four months, and most of the relationships a lot less than that. I know I'm physically repulsive because I have to look at this face every day in the mirror, but I'd always thought personality might triumph over aesthetics. Now I think, despite women's claims to the contrary, looks are everything.
This isn't one of those falsely modest posts, by the way, designed to prompt "but you're not ugly" responses. I don't look ugly in my piccies, but I genuinely am in real life (we all choose good piccies, don't we?).
So here's my question to the ladies - is it time to give up and spare myself all the heartache? Or continue on the basis that "looks aren't everything", and there might be a special woman out there somewhere who can overlook appearance?
Sorry to hear that, but I presume you mean hard drugs rather than steroids? Never heard of anyone dying of steroid use, other than champion powerlifters and bodybuilders using stupid amounts – they're actually very safe if used sensibly and with a little know-how.
I certainly wouldn't date anyone on hard drugs because, apart from anything else, hard drug users always lie and steal.
Just wondered if the use of such drugs would turn you off a man? I'm about to do my second, 12-week steroid cycle and, while I wouldn't volunteer the information to a potential partner, I would 'fess up if asked. Would it be a deal-breaker for you (please, no moralisers)?

Ladies, should I just give up?
