Shallow but I normally judge 75% of someones physical attractiveness on their face not on a torso! Can't beat a pretty face! Sooo on that basis YABU.

Think the perspective is weird possibly in an attempt to garner positing responses.🙄

RoseWhiteTips · 24/07/2018 20:04

positive

RoseWhiteTips · 24/07/2018 20:05

Agree we are all influenced by faces. The faceless image is hard to judge.

Ethylred · 24/07/2018 20:11

You look great. And sound the tiniest bit insecure.

Theycouldhavechoseneve · 24/07/2018 20:25

You look cracking!

lostfrequencies · 24/07/2018 20:31

Ridiculous thread.

Barbaro · 24/07/2018 20:37

Don't really believe you are 44 to be honest.

But if you are, then probably is something to do with your personality or face that is putting the men off. Maybe it's stuff like this thread, the attention seeking, that's doing it?

Try and chill out, stop caring about what other people think of you and only care about yourself and your happiness. Once you're happy with yourself (not how you look, who you are) the right guy will turn up. But you clearly don't like yourself currently and need validation from strangers. People don't find that attractive normally.

I am sorry you feel so crappy op.
You look incredible, but sometimes it’s hard to know how fab you are I get the whole not being a real woman thing (I started growing a pretty solid beard at 15 and at 19 was told my chances of conception were close to nil.)
Try writing down 1 fab thing about yourself every night before bed. Chuck them in a box and read a couple when you feel shit. Have a lovely holiday

I'm childless, a size 8 and 23 and your body looks better than mine .... try having eczema on 60% of your body

I can’t believe the weird MN Reddit thing is still going!

LemonysSnicket · 24/07/2018 21:04

Although it sounds like you've been through a lot actually, so maybe I was a bit rude there

Cleaningthefours · 25/07/2018 05:34

You look fine. It's easy to believe you're 44 (it really isn't that old) but it's fine.

Hi OP,

You look amazing! And fab bikini!! 😄
I hope you’re enjoying your holiday. It sounds like you’re having a tough time and are pretty lonely. I’m sorry that some of the comments on here have been so harsh and unnecessary and I hope that hasn’t made you feel worse.

Hopefully you have some good people around you who can help boost your self esteem and help you through the difficult times.

All the best x

ADastardlyThing · 25/07/2018 13:49

You look ok op, perfectly normal average looking mid 40's woman in a normal bikini on holiday.

Annamadrigal · 25/07/2018 13:52

@Rousette You have lovely hands Grin

stevie69 · 25/07/2018 13:57

I can only conclude that I must have a truly shit personality to have been single for the last decade...

Really? Just because you're single doesn't mean that you have a 'shit' personality. The correlation between the two is non-existent.

WhatsGoingOnEh · 25/07/2018 14:11

Have you had a tummy tuck? The red line across your hips looks just like a fading tummy-tuck scar.

Or you pulled your bikini bottoms down for the photo, which feels a bit Confused

Lifeisabeach09 · 25/07/2018 14:14

You look great, OP.

livefornaps · 25/07/2018 14:21

You should look up.our mate Tomasz, I hear he's looking for a lady to wines and dines Wink

haverhill · 25/07/2018 14:29

I think the OP just needed a bit of kindness in a low moment.
You look lovely. I have 2 gorgeous friends in their 40s, both single for a decade. They are clever, successful and attractive. Please don’t feel like shit because of being single.

Areyoufree · 25/07/2018 14:55

livefornaps I was just about to post that - read through the whole thread to ensure I would be the first...then you went and pipped me to the post. FML.

Or the more likely option 3 - She just changed out of something else which caused the lines and into her bikini.......
