The real reason not a single woman wants you (it’s not your height)
Harsh truths from an actual human female woman
My beautiful, successful, slim friend is currently dating a goblin. As in, he is the ugliest man I’ve ever seen. He is so ugly that even I gasp when I see his picture. I have to pause wondering whether she is joking. With bulging beady eyes, no chin, a slumped gait and nostrils you could fit a canoe into, he was the closest thing to a troll doll I’d ever seen. She beams at me, clearly filled with joy. “I haven’t felt this way in years,” she sighs. “I don’t even care that he’s unemployed. He’s wonderful.”
Completely truthfully, and without hindrance, she loves Mr Troll.
Now, in her defence, I’ve loved some truly ugly men. Men who have been stunned that I’d even look at them. And before you whinge at me that they were still tall, most were about 5ft 5–5ft 10. No, I like smart. I like intelligent. I like professors, historians, analysts, researchers, and doctors. They can be poor as hell, and ugly as hell, but if they are interesting and bright, I’m super into it. That’s my thing. The one thing everyone I’ve ever loved has been.
No, the reason *all* women are rejecting you, as in every single one, isn’t because of your face, or your body. There will always be someone who finds you…
