I’m 34 and still a virgin. Never even kissed a girl. I have the triple whammy of being overweight, having major psoriasis that doesn’t respond to treatment, and having a droopy eyelid due to nerve damage. I’d actually be a pretty handsome guy if it wasn’t for those things. I’ve asked close to 30 women out, and been rejected by every one of them.

I moved back to my hometown of 25,000 to be near family and because I hate large cities, and have opened my own law firm(which has resulted in financial difficulties, so I couldn’t even afford to take a girl out), but I’ve found it impossible to even make friends, much less find a potential date.
