Stay alive if no man on earth was sexually or physically attracted to you in any way?

[AlTD]

Doesn’t apply to me but curious as friends were discussing this the other night. Answers from women only - would you stay alive/be able to enjoy life if literally NO man on earth was sexually or physically attracted to you/turned on by you in any way, shape or form? And why?

Such an offensive question. Especially the "And why?" Why does someone have to explain why they are not going to commit suicide? I've been told how unattractive I am my whole life (by boys and men). Yes, my life would have been easier in many ways if I was pretty, I imagine. But this is the hand I've been dealt so I just get on with it. To ask why I don't want to kill myself is bloody awful!

Literally no man has ever been physically or sexually attracted to me.....is this something that actually bothers women? (I'm ace so it's actually ideal for me!).

Of course I would. If you need to know why, then I'm shocked. There are literally thousands of reasons, and all of them better than men. Wtf.

I found my love and passion for so many things from a very early age. It has never even occurred to me to base a life around men or my attractiveness. I guess if my husband suddenly found me repulsive that would be sad but I'd still very happily carry on living and thriving!

Are there honestly people who wouldn't want to live? I genuinely can't fathom it.

Now? Yes, very easily.
Up until around 30 I would've struggled.

My head-turning days are long, long behind me and IDGAF.

While I love sex, it's just one aspect of life. The world is interesting and I want to take in as much of it as I can before I die. Loss of male attention, especially at my age, is hardly a reason to off oneself!

And, I highly, highly doubt there's a woman alive who can't get laid. There are men will fuck anything, so a warm body is a step up for many of them.

I’m afraid op, not only is it a resounding ‘couldn’t care less, in fact it’s preferable’ response to your op, but I think it might be quite a similar response even if you had asked ‘…if men didn’t exist at all’.

to be honest, I would absolutely swap in a heart beat the one only thing I get better from men than women - sex, to never be afraid ever at all any second of my life. No fear of male rage, no pervs. No being scared walking home at night, no weighing up if something is safe enough, no walking with my key in my hand, no fear when I’m in a lift with just one male stranger. Just none of it. It would be my idea of heaven.

My mum? Fuck no. I’d kill myself after one day. Don’t have any sisters (officially) . Can I have DD instead?

My worth on this Earth doesn't depend on whether a man is attracted to me or not. I've many other things that make being alive worthwhile and enjoyable.

Yes?

I mean, it's nice when men are attracted to me, and I certainly cared about it and lot more when I was younger, but it definitely wouldn't spell the end for me of no man was!

Why would it?

I'd just potter on with my own interests.

I imagine it may well happen one day anyway if I'm lucky enough to grow old.

You're a man, right OP? Only a man could possibly think a woman NEEDS to be found attractive by men. Are we factoring in lesbians here? Or just straight/bi women?

To answer the original (but absurd) question, yes I would be able to "stay alive" if no man on the planet found me attractive. If my DH suddenly decided he was divorcing me then yes, I'd be upset, heartbroken even. But I'd be able to get on with life and still enjoy it.

As for wearing makeup and clothes to attract men, really? I haven't "dressed up" to attract a boy (as it would have been back then) since I was a teenager! I rarely wear makeup, last time was for my DSD's wedding 6 months ago. I live in pjs mostly as I wfh. When I go out it's jeans and vests with a hoodie and trainers.

I couldn't give a shiny shite whether men find me attractive or not.

Of course I would. I haven't had sex in almost a year and am not actively dating anyone, I find dating boring right now I focus more on my child and friends and peace and quiet.
Once I'm old I'm sure most men won't see my sexually (and I'd be very suspicious of any who did) and I plan to enjoy being retired and travelling and having hobbies and hopefully being a grandma

Exactly. It just doesn't matter. Especially not to the point of not enjoying life. That does seem bizarre.

I think you need therapy OP. You seem to be unable to realise that women can live perfectly happily without male attention. I also think you're about 15 years old.

As for your comments about women wearing makeup and dressing to look nice for men, well that's completely ridiculous and simply laughable. I sometimes wear make up, sometimes I don't. If you think that I, a grandma in my 60s, put on some mascara because I want to look attractive to men, you must be mad. Do you seriously think that when my 87 year old mother puts on some lipstick and a dress she's going out on the pull???
Your life must be so meaningless and shallow.

Don't fret OP, you'll grow out of it and one day will look back wondering why it was ever so important to you.

I make myself look bloody great every day, not for men but because I like looking good!

Sex is important, but it’s not everything: I wouldn’t be offing myself because nobody wanted to shag me! 🙄

There are options for self-pleasure, for example, if that appeals. Or… you know, just getting on with your life. Going on holiday, having a full-filling career, having fun with family and friends… 🤷‍♀️

Wouldn't bother me; in fact it would be a relief.

Wtf?? We need men to justify us staying alive??

I think that's an abhorrent question to be honest OP! So women lives are only "worth it" if they're fuckable?! Wow.

What an odd thread

I stay alive and mostly enjoy life and no one has looked in my direction for decades.

I DGAF about being found attractive by men.

Bloody hell. This has to be a spoof, surely? Unattractive = suicidal? Better dead than ugly?

Either @AlTD has never heard of feminism or is Andrew Tate in disguise.

You are Andrew Tate OP and I claim my €10 for recognising you. It was really difficult.

You must be relatively young to think that’s so hard. It’ll happen one day in the not too distant future that this is actually the case. And it’ll be fine. You’ll live.
