At 18 I hadn't got things sorted out either. And boy, did I have hair! The guy who's now my husband met me for the first time when I hadn't shaved my moustache for 24 hours and he saw the very-obvious stubble. The fact that it didn't put him off has been a tremendous encouragement to me. He's never been embarrassed about having a wife with facial (and lots of other) hair. It's easy for me to be confident now (which it certainly wasn't before I met him at age 19), because I've a great husband and great kids and I have the confidence that comes from having "proved myself a functional woman" by having kids and been successful in having a wonderful relation with my husband over more than thirty years. OK, I can't compete in the femininity stakes, but I reckon that I've been successful as a woman without being able to describe myself as "feminine." I hope you'll be encouraged by the fact that some of us who are probably less attractive than yourself have nonetheless got there in the end.
