"Son, Your late-40s y/o high-laycount, forward-maxilla, good-IPD, 8/10 lower-third, 6'1 cousin is getting married. This gives me hope for YOU!"

My late-40's yo cousin is going to get married for the first time, so it has given my mum, aunt and et al hope that I will one day. Yes, he is older and balder than me, but let's have a brief rundown of our stats:

Him:

- forward-grown maxilla
- masculine lower third, square chin, long ramus, etc
- wide-set eyes, good IPD, short philtrum
- compact midface
- Did amateur modelling/media work
- lots of sexual experience
- BUT bald and 47 yo.
- 7/10 for age and race

Me:

- retruded maxilla
- retruded lower third (seeking surgery), recessed chin, downward grown jaw with no ramus
- close-set eyes, retard-tier IPD, long philtrum
- long midface
- Got laughed at by women IRL for just existing
- rejections
- but NW4-diffuse and well over a decade younger than him. Go me!!!!
- 2.5-3/10 for age and race

Note, he getting married to a woman from one of the third world countries who have members here. I think they're in love although him being from the first world def helps. But anyway, this gives my aunt and mum hope that I will one day get a gf.

People are a lot more optimistic than they let on. I have actually RESIGNED myself to a MSTOW life. In fact, anything outside that would disrupt my plans. I have kind of PLANNED for living alone and cheaper, retiring alone, dying alone. That's now the PLAN. My instinct when seeing a woman coming the opposite way along the street is to cross over. I just see them as having made their decision about me, which I understand and respect -- I am ugly after all -- so I don't ruin their day by being near them if I can help it.

I've even gotten used to the idea of not having children. I don't want them anymore. I accept my fate. Would I like a gf? Yes? But I can accept how things are. I am a man so I would need to be a 5+ to reproduce. Oh well. Who gaf.
