A post in r/GirlDinnerDiaries describes a 33-year-old woman's experience of rarely being approached by men, despite changes she's made to her appearance and lifestyle in recent years. … She wrote that she frequently noticed her friend being approached by men while she was not, and that she changed her personal style after a woman once assumed she was gay.
