Help! I’m Way Less Hot Than the Guy I’m Dating, and People Can’t Handle It.
This man is a solid 10, and I am at most a 5.
slate.com
I am a woman in my mid-30s who recently reentered the dating scene again after a long time ... I met and became friendly with a guy three years older than me last year. After a few months of chatting as friends, he asked me out, and I rejected him because I thought of us as just friends (and I was seeing someone else)
So a Chad (especially a blue-eyed-Incel-TV type of Chad) gets originally friendzoned by a chunky chick. Juggernaut Law in action.My issue is that this man is a 10, and I am, at best, a 4? 5? He’s tall and muscular with piercing blue eyes and a dazzling smile. I see the looks people give us when we go out: “HE’S with HER?!” I’ve never been particularly sensitive to what others think about me, but every time we go out, I see that same look—from men, from women, it doesn’t matter. They all look like they’ve just been electrocuted. The minute he puts his arm around me or holds my hand, the same look of shock appears on people’s faces, and it’s taking a toll on my self-esteem. I’ve definitely seen that look from all of his friends, and I wonder what they’ve said to him privately. His exes were very beautiful.
I know I need to lose some weight ...
