'I'm Too Sexy To Find Love!'

Dawn Cousins, 44, says her good looks are the reason she can’t find a nice man

Walking up to the bar, I could practically feel the men turning to stare. From fresh-faced youngsters to desperate divorcés, I knew exactly what they were thinking – how they’d love to have a girl like me on their arm.

And who could blame them? I look hot. But while having men fall at your feet thanks to your good looks might sound great, it’s more of a curse.

At 44, with four grown-up children, I’m over being someone’s trophy girl, but men my age or older say they can’t trust me because of my looks.

I’m like the Goldilocks of dating. Too young, too old, too insecure… nobody’s right for me. It sounds bad, but it’s true – I’m just too hot for love.

Loving the attention

I haven’t always been this picky. At 18 I loved getting attention from men in clubs. Nothing boosts the ego like watching a fit guy saunter over and offer to buy you a drink.
