Can't wait to be able to clone myself... well probably won't happen for me personally. But sexual reproduction is so annoying. You have to have another person to deal with, and you don't know what the hell you are going to get out of the dael.

Yes and it's sweaty and gross and doesn't feel like literally the best psycho-physical experience ever when done correctly with a loving partner.

It's great if you can find that mythical partner. The problem is finding that partner, especially if you're not very attractive or not very social.
Hopefully, in the future we can fix the former (current cosmetic surgeries are just barbaric hackery, I mean at the cellular level, like rewriting someone's genome to make them taller and more attractive), and then extend lifespans so people have more time to find good partners instead of having to settle.

Have you tried exercise?
In any case, all your ancestors managed to procreate (duh!). So you can't blame your genes too much.

I'm sorry to hear that. But there are ways to improve one's looks and to at least fake being sociable enough.
