Lonely and Fed Up

I never go unshaven
My hair is well kempt
And I have a shower everyday
I always dress smart 
Ad look the part
But still
I never catch a girls eye
No matter how I try.

So why do I see scruffy slobish men
Out with pretty women
Everywhere I go
If I'm doing something wrong
Can someone please let me know.

For it seems the scruffier you are
The more desirable you may be
I don't like to judge anyone
But why does no one want me.

I'm told women like bad boys
I'm no angel but not bad
Im not going to change for anyone
But it makes me really sad.

I'm just a desirable toy for their amusement
They discard when they have had enough
While I just want to settle down
But don't feel good enough.

Love and romance seem a thing of the past
For me
Im getting older
And  I feel time is running out fast.

I exist and do not live
Biu still have so much to give.

Alexis Y. Date: 10/29/2015 8:29:00 PM Hi Peter,you have expressed your thoughts very well in this write. My friend just continue to be you and I trully believe when you least expect it you two will meet. I think it's a misconception that woman like bad boys truth be told(in my opinion) we like what we like. Me myself I am attracted to a nice personality.I really wish you happiness and I hope you find what you're looking for. :-)Alexis 7 Login to Reply Peter Dome Date: 10/30/2015 6:14:00 AM Hi Alexis. you are an angel. hank you so much for your advice and support. But we live in two different parts of the world. Many women around here, just want fun, and not a steady relationship. Things have changed. When I used ti go out at night. I was propositioned all the time for a bi of ''fun''. but I'm not that kind of guy, I don' sleep around. I need more. I rather wait fr the right person. I'm told I'm too nice and girls want bad boys.. Romance seems a thing of the past.thank you. you are a good friend.take good care. best wishes Pete.

Tim Smith Date: 10/29/2015 3:25:00 PM I know Pete. Guess you have to stop looking and hope love runs into you or do the opposite and ask out every girl. Eventually one will say yes. Login to Reply Peter Dome Date: 10/30/2015 6:18:00 AM Good advice Tim. you're a great guy. I do, but, bu girls don't seem to be interested in long term over here, does my head in. but thank you. must keep on. take care. hope you find someone soon my friend. take care my friend best wishes. Pete.

Casarah Nance Date: 10/29/2015 7:27:00 AM The first time I saw my husband he was scruffy, he asked me out, I said yes. He cleaned up real nice, and said he never wanted anyone to go out with him for his looks but for who is his. I wish that for everyone. nice read Peter ;) Login to Reply Peter Dome Date: 10/30/2015 6:24:00 AM Great story, I'm so glad for ou and he was right. it goes much deeper than appearance. It's the mentality around here, always down the pub with their mates, partner left at home with the kids. affairs ect. trat their ''girlfriends ''like trash. but still they stay. Thank you for yiur reply take good care. best wishes. Pete. Peter Dome Date: 10/30/2015 6:23:00 AM Great story, I'm so glad for ou and he was right. it goes much deeper than appearance.

Lin Lane Date: 10/29/2015 7:10:00 AM Poor Peter...Try this (lol at me for offering lovelorn advice) Lots of women, including myself, like the look of an after 5 shadow. NO slobbishness, tho. You don't have to BE a bad boy to look like one... once they see the real you, they'll want you just as you are. Lots of good stuff in your write. Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 10/30/2015 6:50:00 AM Pete, take the word of the Bard..."To thine own self be true." Peter Dome Date: 10/30/2015 6:32:00 AM Thank you Lin. I'm on about the slobs, hr Fathers who are never there, and go from one girlfriend to another. they see the real me, but it doesn't seem good enough, and I din;t sleep around. not that kind.Yhings have really changed, I see it all the time. Not changing for anyone. I need someone who want's me for who I am. not a quick fling. doesn't interest me. thank you. best wishes. Pete.
