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

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?

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

I agree with a PP that it's offensive, actually.

Hell yeah. Provided the Ocado delivery system still worked, obviously.

What is wrong with you

Needtosoundoffandbreathe · 16/05/2025 21:33

It suggests a woman's worth is related to her attractiveness to men. Utter nonsense.

Eldermillennialmum · 16/05/2025 21:33

Erm I don't care either

why?

I have young children, a fulfilling work and social life

Yes, because believe it or not for some women the world does not revolve around whether a man is interested in them. Life can be very fulfilling without a man.

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm happily married, but if I hadn't met the man I married, I'd have been happily single.

Sarah2891 · 16/05/2025 21:34

LOL. It would be a major improvement.

Are you an incel?

Greenartywitch · 16/05/2025 21:43

Odd question.

I have never thought that my only value or purpose in this world is to be attractive to men.

Plenty more to do in life...

Maddy70 · 16/05/2025 21:44

What a strange post. So you rely on men for your fulfilment? I certainly don't

Ecrire · 16/05/2025 21:48

What the fuck? Would I rather be DEAD if penised-people didn’t get turned on by me? Is that really a question anyone that walks upright has asked?

gamerchick · 16/05/2025 21:49

I'm.l 50. I wouldn't give a shit, men aren't all that. Useful for breeding.

Means you could have men friends to have a laugh with without any undercurrent.

Ecrire · 16/05/2025 21:50

Incels think like this.

gamerchick · 16/05/2025 21:51

Are you doing some kind of essay OP? It's a bloody weird question.

Yes.
Tbh, if I had all my craft supplies and my cat I can't hand on heart say I'd need my mum and sister.

Friartruckster · 16/05/2025 21:52

Alive and kicking here. And I completely fit your criteria.

spicemaiden · 16/05/2025 21:53

Yup.

why? I’m 50, and have zero fucks left to give

TheCurious0range · 16/05/2025 21:54

I don't think it would bother me at this point, I'm pretty certain if DH died I'd be more than happy to be single and I like being married, but I'm also fine with myself and don't need male validation

You do know that women and men dress for themselves and their own sex don't you?

Women post before and after photos of weight loss and gym bodies for other women. Men do the same.

Your thinking is screwed a bit.

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 16/05/2025 21:57

What is your agenda here?

You want us all to say we'd go crazy and kill ourselves if there wasnt a man on earth who'd fuck us?

Incel mindset isn't really a female trait I'm afraid.

And male attention really isn't the be all and end all.

Same here. Been married best part of 30 years. Like fuck would I start again.

TeamMemberNumber8 · 16/05/2025 22:02

Oh sweet summer child.

Renabrook · 16/05/2025 22:05

I think this says a lot about people and shows how people have little respect for themselves basically it is saying i am only worth something to other people, for all this men is the enemy stuff we hear daily women spend all lot of time and effort trying to collect and keep one

LarkAscendingRose · 16/05/2025 14:31

It would be miserable for you. You can't speak for other people

Can speak for me also. Personally I love sex and I'd be pretty miserable tbh. I really don't get what's that bad about it tbh 😂
We are literally biologically wired to want sex at least 1s a month if nothing else. I need me some 🍆
