Yea, I meant to let it be know I have no problem in the world with being called 'gay'. Thank you kindly for your sweet comments. I guess also I am not really your typical 37 year old male. I've lived with mental illness for 17 years (and maybe longer back...I just never got a medical diagnosis back then.) I am 'restarting' my life all over again, like finishing university, and many women also have a hard time dealing with that. Many women in my age group likely have been married before, and have kids and such. That doesn't bother me, but they think it odd that I have never been married and don't have kids. I really wish I was at least 10 years younger. I am not a bad looking guy (so I've been told..) but no Hollywood star. I am actively working on getting in better shape, as the psych drugs have cause a fair bit of weight gain. I am losing about 10 pounds every two weeks, mostly through aerobic exercise. Even when I dress up, fit into slimmer pants, and look quite sharp, women still see no interest. When I first got dx'd with my mental illness, I didn't take care of my appearance in clothes too well. But, now I am back into wearing designer jeans, beautiful looking cotton and even silk shirts, and often a sports jacket. So....here I am...single..lol
Thanks..peace :-)
Jay
