I want love, not dick.

Men think it's a compliment that they would bang me, but it's not. I want someone to care about me. The fact that they would stick their dick in me and never see me again is hurtful, not complimentary.

I feel like taking my life because I'm so lonely and fed up with men trying to use me for sex. It hurts. I can't sleep with someone without developing feelings and I can't sleep with someone I'm not attracted to.

People fall in love and get into relationships and get married every day, but I don't know why it doesn't happen for me.

It's like we're not allowed to say nice things about ourselves without sounding stuck up, but I'm pretty, I'm funny, I'm kind, I'm intelligent.

When asked what I'm looking for in a man I say those same things: attractive, funny, kind and intelligent, and I'm told I want too much.

Being unable to find love hurts so much more than being unable to get sex.
