On two separate occasions last week, I was approached by a stranger who told me I look good. Pretty much nothing is going right in my life so at least vanity is workable as a last stronghold between me and the void.

From the username, I did say it been a while that I hope things get better for

but be to be honest, have someone yo take the time of day to compliment you and not just catcall you is a nice thing and this might sound ridiculous but it also takes courage to do so

I've never been catcalled before but a woman did flash her tits at me once. She yelled "is that your girlfriend?" and I yelled back "yes" and she flashed me. Didn't like that... dunno why someone would do that. Oh well. That relationship is over. She cheated on me after I was faithful for 7 years. It be like that sometimes. Oversharing much? lol. Anyway, I've been trying to find a partner since, but I only ever get approached by gay men. It's flattering of course, but I'm a hetero male (I think) and women never, ever approach me. What's up with that? Surely if gay men find me attractive, women might too, but the responsibility to approach is on me for some god-forsaken reason and I am too afraid to approach anyone. Why does it have to be like this? Rhetorical question of course, the answer is heteronormativity, but you'd think with the prevalence of feminism that this would be less of a factor. I don't know what I'm trying to say, I'm drunk right now. Rant over

I'm gonna be the third guy to tell you that you are hot as fuck. I find it admirable that you talk about your feelings so openly. That's rare for a guy. I think many of your thoughts are well developed as you present them here and relatable. I'd be happy if you dropped me a PM some time, you sound like a great guy to know.
