I’m 23 years old, but I look 14. I always looked younger than my age, even when I was in school. I’m 167 cm, which is the standard female height where I live, so I guess it’s my face, something with the shape of the bones, I dont know. I am sincerely convinced that this is the main reason why men have never approached me. I’m also quite socially awkward and not very pretty, but that’s usually not a problem for other girls, so I think it all comes down to my child-like features. I’ve never seen men look at me with desire, or that they’ve ever been shy when talking to me. I feel completely desexualized and lonely and I suffer so much because of it. This problem sounds so stupid and absurd, but that’s what I’m dealing with… At the very least, it’s probably worth being glad that men aren’t so attracted to childish features in reality…

Sorry if this post is too messy, I don’t feel well while I’m writing this.

    It is a toupee fallacy to claim that bait/fake posts are always so easy to spot, but this is definitely a toupee here.

    Edit: Damn, people are seriously responding to this. I thought it couldn’t be more obvious.

      lmao, why is this fake? I sincerely share my problem and I admit that this post sounds confusing and strange because I was crying and I didn’t know how I could describe it more clearly. I admit that I might have exaggerated this problem a bit because of my emotions and frustration, but what is so unrealistic in this situation, please explain??

      So? What does it matter? What’s the downside? Lemmy needs more content and engagement, here it is.

      Btw you are engaging too. If it is bait the intention of your engagement does not matter, only that you engaged, that’s how rage bait works for example.
