The Royal Museums Greenwich in London holds an annual annual Astronomy Photographer of the Year Competition, where they featured astronomy images from photographers around the globe. These are their selection of this years’ best images taken of space from Earth. Showcasing images from all around the globe, including Bolivia’s mirror sky and Norway’s famous aurorae, the photographs demonstrate the grandiosity of the universe’s beauty. 

Im a 30 year old man all my life I’ve been treated like I’m worthless by every woman I’ve ever met. I have a decent job, earn a decent wage, own my own home have a nice car. You’d think this would be enough to make me desirable to at least some women but no.

Unfortunately I’ve discovered through life that only one thing matters and that’s what you look like. If your attractive you will have everything you could ever want and if you aren’t then it’s a lifetime of loneliness and misery.

I work in a male dominated industry so chances to meet women in real life is slim. I’ve been on every dating website for years messaged hundreds of women and in all that time I’ve never even got a conversation out of them. It’s either ignore you or if you persist then it’s a simple your not attractive not interested I’m not attracted to you. I’ve never been on a date. I write well thought out messages and target women who have similar interests but none of that matters. They simply don’t care about anything other than your profile photo. It makes me laugh that men actually have the reputation for being shallow when in reality it’s women who are far worse.

As for Tinder I’ve right swiped every woman within 60 miles, I don’t even look at the pics I know nobody will match so why worry. In 4 years I’ve never had a match.

After years of this It prompted me to conduct a little social experiment I switched my profile picture to a stock image of a model for 24hrs to see what would happen. I didn’t message anyone I just let the account sit idle. In less than a day I had over 100 messages from women desperate to date me. All saying how interesting they thought I was and asking all about me. The same women who until now decided I was to worthless to bother replying or talking to.

So you must be wondering what I look like? Must be disfigured to get treated that badly? Well no. I’m 6ft tall average build dark hair. Completely normal looking guy I’m certainly not handsome but I’m nothing hideous either.

All I’ve wanted for years is to settle down with a woman and maybe have a family. I’ve seen friends get married and others go through relationships. Each year I feel sadder that I’ve never experienced that and probably never will.

As for the effect it’s had on me? Well a lifetime of abuse can take it’s toll on you. I suffer badly with depression and self image. I hate to be photographed and don’t even like to look in a mirror. I hate this country I wish I could leave in the hopes that women are kinder across the ocean.

Knowing that they would rather have a guy that is selfish, cheats on them or is abusive over me simply because he has nice muscles or a chistled face really shows what society is like today.

I can’t choose what shape my face is so why do I deserve a life of loneliness

I would never say „women“ or „men“ are bad. This is something people in general do. And it‘s disgusting. We don‘t want to be sexualized, but if we‘re searching the love of our lifes, people get disgustingly picky, just in looks.

I want a woman who laughs with me, who makes me smile, who makes a wonderful cuddle buddy and makes me feel loved. But I don‘t look for her like I‘m searching for a couch at IKEA „ah beautiful!“ „gorgeous!“~

Sure I see someone and can be attracted to their looks. I find people attractive. But they truly become beautiful to me when I get to know them.

1)  No shelters for male victims of domestic violence.

2) Men getting harsher punishments for the same crime.

3) Countries with compulsorily military service for men.

4) Courts that take children from fathers based on gender.

5) Men cannot even vote or get citizenship without enrolling for the draft.

6) Numerous government departments dealing with women’s issues but none dealing with men’s issues.

7) Male infant circumcision/genital mutilation is legal and performed widely and even completely socially accepted but female genital mutilation is not.

8) A young boy raped by a woman can be forced to pay child support to his rapist if she gets pregnant.

9) Many countries do not even recognize female on male rape. It can maximally only amount to “sexual assault”.

10) Real sexism is having no special laws like VAWA to protect men, even though men are the majority of victims of violent crime.

11) There are drives to fill quotas for women for the high paid roles but not in the dangerous jobs dominated by men.

12) In the army, police, fire service or any other position women have to meet much lower physical standards than men.

13) Services for men only given a fraction of the funds that services for women are given at a government and a social level.

14) For the same crime, irrespective of the gender of the offender, the perpetrator gets more punishment if the victim is female rather than male.
