i am really lonely and would love nothing more to have a relationship with a man but I don’t feel attractive anymore and using a walking stick I feel would put men off. I’m 46 and not getting any younger. I’m fully functioning so would be able to have a fulfilling sex life. I have a bad back and fibromyalgia. I feel like I’m invisible to men and that it’s impossible for me to find someone. ☹️

@Pixierose  Hello Pixierose, 

I am very sorry to hear that you're feeling this way, do any members have any experience with this or any advice to give?

when i was a child i was paralysed by meningitus it left me very limited use of my left hand side arm n leg .thedoctor told my mam to spend her last 48hrs with her son, that was when i was 6yrs old i am now 54yrs old married with 4 children and 4 grandchildren, i thought just like you pixierose that i would never meet anyone to love me but i did , i explained to my then girlfriend that i will eventually end up in a wheelchair in massive pain daily , she just looked me in the eyes n said lets take one step at a time , we are still taking steps but together it makes it easier so NEVER give up looking for love . you need to socialise n get yourself out there visit different places and dont ever put yourself down ,theres someone out there for everyone , be possitive enjoy life while you can , hope this helps.
