I've been seeing a person who only wanted to be 'Friends with benefits', saying he didn't want a girlfriend. It's hard to accept and generally I was only able to accept it for short periods then we'd have a fallout and not speak for a while then get back in contact again.
I find it insulting to be put in an 'only good enough for sex every so often' category by this person and it makes me veer between 'that's it I'm going to remain celibate for the rest of my life!' and 'I miss it!'. I try and lose weight in an effort to broaden my 'market appeal', but then get fed up with that because it's hard and because do I really want to start appealing more to these shallow people who I ultimately despise?
I don't know the solution - whether I need to just learn to be more tolerant in order to get what I want or give it up as it'll never work out well for me.
I have had that experience too many times...only good enough for sex or "short term dating". I have the same struggle with weight loss. I actually lose weight easily I guess but knowing that my main reason to do so is to appeal to more men turns me off and then I go stuff my face!
