Why I have mommy issues? Abusive narcissistic mother. She raised me believing I am a piece of shit, and only gave me attention and love sparingly, when I did what she wanted. I crave female attention more than sex. Seriously, I get more out of knowing that a woman thinks I am "good" than I would get out of sleeping with her. I am that pathetic.

At the same time, I have inherit handicaps when it comes to my SMV. I am short (5'5"), and have average looks (6.5--7.5/10), and have no hair (I belong to the 1% for whom the bald look is good, I shave and everything). If a woman is attracted, it is not my looks that attracted her.

Everything else in my life is going well. I am successful at what I do. I have a very bight and stable future. I am doing better financially that most people. I am smart and cunning. I have no problem around fellow men, they love and respect me, ... It is just women I have a problem with.

I wish I could go MGTOW by choice, not because of external circumstances.
