No Sex in the City

I would really love to get your opinions on this issue that's been bothering me for YEARS I wrote about it on my blog here http://mandakaymakesit.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/no-sex-in-the-city/ if you'd like to see the full post.
But it basically boils down to this: When you’re on a mission like this, you obviously look for others you can identify with, relate to, and learn from. In every single blog I read about other women losing weight, and even here on MFP, they tout their significant other as their “biggest supporter,” and their “main motivator,” someone who loves them just the way they are.
Embarrassing and horribly judgmental, my inner monologue then tends to go a little something like this:
"How did she find someone? Why haven’t I? I’m prettier/smaller/dress better than her, right? Why am I jealous of that bigger women walking down the street arm in arm with her boo? Why do I only get creepers and downright scary men hitting on me, wanting a booty call? Why am I so alone? Is it my personality? My complete lack of confidence and self-esteem? Are my standards too high? What’s wrong with me?"
Annoying, right? But my point is, how did everyone else get so lucky? What's wrong with me? haha Seriously, go read my blog post and let me know what you guys think--I need outside opinions here
