I’m not married, I never dated and I’m still virgin at 28 years old.

I don’t like it at all–when I see all my friends getting married, having their babies at this age, it makes me sad.

If I ever had at least one long-term relationship during my 20’s, I would be glad. But I never had one. In my opinion [as a Brazilian – here marriage and having a man is a signal you’re a real woman], I have failed as a woman.

I couldn’t “catch” a man to have a long term relationship, I couldn’t make a man attracted to me, I feel like I’m without value.

Each culture is different, I guess in USA women have more power.

I never been there to attest. Though, here in Brazil, we are going in this direction in baby steps. We can’t lie, but here, men is seen as a prize.

“Wow, you got a real man, you are now a woman! A true woman. You have value.”

I have this mindset, unfortunately. But isn’t my parents’ fault, they are really open-minded. It’s my fault, and the female friends I have. All too girly — we always planned to have boyfriends, take care of our houses, all those girly stuff.

And so, it is. They got to have their boyfriends, I don’t know why but I couldn’t. And this is pure frustration.

All I want is to have husband that I can take care of — cooking meals, sharing great moments with, and the bad ones too! Someone I can trust to father my kids, who I can give massages, who I’d love endlessly, etc.

I feel lonely.

Right now, what I feel for being a 28-year-old female, never dated, never married, never had a long-term relationship and never had sex is — Frustration.

I failed.
