No luck with men.......

Hello, I've posted before on other boards once in awhile, but am no closer to having any answers to the dilemmas in my life.  Brief history: I do not feel in any way that I've had any success with men in my life at all. Never had a first love at 16 like a lot of other people have, never had a true love in my life, and have never had any man show me any type of long term affection.  I am now 42 and these are the things I have going for me: I know I am pretty. I am a sweet good-natured person. I have a love for life and for people. I have recently lost weight and have shed 50 lbs. These are some other things: I am 5'8" and weigh 230 lbs. But I wear it very well and am very proportional. I have a nice figure when I am thinner.

Anyway, what is the problem for me? Why don't I have love from men? Why am I not noticed most times? I am 42 but look very young. People often think I am as young as 25. I am confused, and when I see men with women who are either very unattractive, or unappealing in personality, at least from my point of view, it confuses me even more. I find that as I get older, this is not getting any clearer to me. I really need help figuring this out.  Please, if you are interested in giving me some clear-cut answers, I'll be happy to answer most questions and maybe I can get some clue into the male mind. Thank you so much.

Loving soul, are you receiving zero interest from all men....or just not interest from the men you'd like to be noticed by?

Hello, thank you for answering. No, lately I really feel like I get very little attention from any man. It sort of goes against nature, doesn't it? Anyway, it doesn't feel very good that you are (or at least you feel like you are) the only woman on earth who gets no attention.

I will try to go get an image makeover. I am not necessarily talking about outside appearance as much as maybe my walk, the message I am giving. Like I said, no clue why this is the way it is for me. Any other suggestions would be great. Thank you.

I guess I'd wonder what exactly have you done to meet men? Have you tried any dating sites or anything? OkCupid is a good one and it's free. That was the only way I had any success. Typically you're not going to have men making passes at you in your daily life. There's only so many men you may typically even be around in a normal day. Using a dating site means that any man who sends you a message is interested, so you cut through a lot of the effort.

I hate to mention it but you brought it up....you are obese. You may look younger but thats because you have some wight on you therefore that smooths out the wrinkles. I have a friend that is a very curvy woman very pretty and is as tall as you and weighs a bit less. She has hit the gym in the last month. She has lost 20 pounds. Hit the gym!!! And dont worry so much about men loving you as much as you should worry about you loving you and getting healthy. men are with women who are a bit under attractive because they have love for themselves first. And each person has something different to bring to each relationship. I am not a guy but 90% of my friends are. And weight for them is a big thing. A bit chunky is great for them. In fact to skinny is a big turn off just as much as being obese. Hit the gym!!!! Keep loosing the weight  love you. As a teen a lot of my friends had Bf after BF I had 1 in Jr high and 1 in high school. many men friends but not BFs. Life isnt about having a man just like every one else when they had men. Its about loving life and you first. Be happy with you and you being with out a MAN. And they will come when its the right time.
