I'm 30 and never been in a relationship, and I'm about to give up. (.trigger warning, this is a really sad post so if you don't like feeling sad, you should go do something else)

Hello, internet friends. <br><br>I'm a woman, 30 years old. Mid-twenties to mid-thirties is supposed to be a woman's "prime" when we're the most attractive, etc, etc. I'm about to be out of my prime, and I've never been in a romantic relationship. Never even been hugged by a man I liked, or had a man tell me I was pretty. In fact, I've kinda gotten used to the idea that I'm completely irrelevant to men, and I don't really think about romance or dating anymore because it's pointless. I have a good career and excellent friendships and a great life overall, and it's enough. <br><br>I've decided to give up on online dating. I've tried two apps, I began in April, and it's time to stop. I've gone on a few dates, and I've had nothing but rejection by men who aren't attractive to me anyway, men to whom I am irrelevant, who don't even give me the dignity of a message saying "thank you but I don't think we're a good match", just complete, utter silence. <br><br>I had to delete my profile because I literally started crying every time I opened the app and saw my profile staring back at me, and the pictures of all of the men who think I'm irrelevant. <br><br>I've decided not to worry about it anymore. I'm irrelevant to men, that's just how it is. I've done everything I can to be attractive to men and I'm just not. I'm fine with it.
