discussionFeeling too unattractive to be with a woman.
Posted December 24, 2023 by [Deleted] in LovingWomen

I have always suffered from low self esteem but, as I come to terms with my attraction to women, I find that this realization is worthless considering my faith in ever being with another women is non-existent.

I’ve been told about my face being pretty several times and, sometimes, I can see what others see… but my main concern is my body. I’m so tall, standing at 5’9, and slightly overweight. The overweight thing doesn’t bother me so much because I’m losing weight nowadays so it’s no issue. But I’m still thicker regardless. Not so much lithe or dainty as my features are more on the larger side.

I’d yearn for a women but I feel as though I’m too unattractive to do so. I don’t know what the post is about or what I want to achieve but feel free to comment about your stories and advice!?

Hashtag bisexualproblems I relate to this so hard. Men are easy. Women scare the shit out of me (romantically)

What about women is scarier than dating someone who's twice as strong as you can can forcibly impregnate you? Never understood that line of thinking.

The emotional fear of rejection and not being good enough. Men do present plenty of physical threat, women to me present emotional threat. It’s a lose-lose.

But with men you will never be "good enough" because they don't see you as an equal. They will always see you as someone beneath them simply because you are female. Women are just not usually as interested in buttering you up to get in your pants. =p

Yes, logically I realize these things. Fear is not always logical, and I know I would likely feel much safer and more fulfilled in a relationship with a woman. Unfortunately for me, I am bisexual but with a strong preference for males and then the added (irrational) worry about rejection from women keeps me navigating the same familiar hetero scripts.

Breaking social and cultural expectations is always the "scariest" option. Worth it though.
