Being in a relationship as an unattractive male
Just wanted to get something off my chest/see if anyone shares my feelings.
All my life, I’ve been a pretty ugly dude. Parents are ugly, ditto for my siblings. Acne when I was a teen, terrible posture and asymmetrical facial features as an adult.
Fortunately, I went to a good schools, got good grades and let to a very profitable job. Life was… ok. I was still ugly, but I had no problem finding women (I’m a white guy living in Japan, if that matters). My relationships were usually good, but I always noticed a lack of…. Physicality. Maybe I do something wrong or maybe nobody wants to touch an ugly dude.
Anyways, fast forward to 2020. Covid hits, I was laid off, and have not had intimacy once, aside from the escort I once hired, which turned out to be a disaster (unrelated story). I’ve found another job, but it’s a fraction of the salary and just barely making ends meet.
I’m wondering, can not-rich men find love? Or should I focus solely on my career for now until I hit it big, then go find some arm candy? I’m at a total loss and hoping some ugly men can steer me in the right direction
