Tried signing up for a depression dating site. Anyone ever tried one of those?
Well, after filling that long-ass profile (sooo many things to checkmark), a total of FIVE people came up in my results lol. FIVE. How sad and how pathetic.
One of these basturds said his dealbreakers are people who are “Pessimistic, negative, moody.” Uhm, which site did you think you were signing up for? You signed up for a DEPRESSION dating site, what did you think you’d find?? Happy, cheerful people? It’s like saying “I hate people who drink,” but goes to bars to pick up girls. Or says “I hate dogs,” but goes to dog parks to pick up girls. Or hates gays but goes to gay bars. Or whatever other example. Have everyone gone bonkers??
Well, that was a bust. I guess I’ll stay home alone and depressed…

EDIT- Just read profiles:
“Someone who doesn’t take life so seriously.” – hm, I think that pretty much describes all depressed people; depressed people pretty much DO take everything in their life too seriously.
“What I do like are people that try to be positive and don’t sweat the small things.” – again, a depression site is NOT the place to look for a positive girl / guy.

Hey eternaldarkness, I’ve been thinking about signing up to one of these sites for a long time now. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be with someone who is like me. Would you be able to give me the site names?
Just google depression dating sites and you’ll see them. Sign up and tell me what you think of the people and their profiles 😛
Jesus, you weren’t wrong about the long ass profile requirement. I did my first search, only got 1 results. I didn’t give up so easily and expanded my search to 250km. It went up to 4! Back to POF it is then.
lol there’s another site which has more ppl on it. nolongerlonely.com. the profile is waaaay shorter, and you can skip, unlike that first one.
still slim pickin’s tho…
well, to be fair, i see a ton of crap profiles on regular online dating sites too.
I think I’m guilty of having a crap profile. It’s difficult to sell yourself when you have depression and feeling suicidal. All the thoughts are negative. I just want to say stuff like,…. “I hate myself, I hate my life. I’m a loser and quite a serious person and a depressive person. I fail at anything I attempt. I’m have money problems. I’m moody sometimes. I blame that on my bipolar. I like to stay indoors away from people. Therefore I’m not social. I’m not a big fan of travelling either. But it doesn’t mean I want to be alone for the rest of my life. So if you like what you read about me, hit me up!”… lol. Instead my profile is minimal information.
It felt really good typing all that out. I was actually being me instead of representing the mask I usually wear. I’m thinking I could probably put that on a depression dating site. Probably a bad idea though.
I’d never really want someone who is always positive. They are just living in a bubble, a fantasy world. I also would need someone who is open, and I bet a person who is always positive does not wanna hear my views and just want to push their rose coloured glasses views onto me all the time. Cough
I gave up on dating years ago. For me it’s just another anxiety trigger that I do not need. I’m not sure that I would want to date someone like me. Hell, I don’t even like being around me.
If i dated some1 like me, itd get toxic real quick. I have alot of trust issues and a survivor of domestic violence, so i explode internally anytime i try to date some1 because i cant handle truely loving some1 back or some1 loving me. Some1 could tell me im beautiful or i love u and my response has always been WHY???? All i can say is its no bueno, dont do it. They say never love some1 else til u can love yourself first
I’ve been on a million dates, had successful ones that turned into a long-term boyfriend for years. Also had a lot of rejection. If you feel suicidal and can’t handle rejection, don’t date. Look out for assholes, like the type of guys who won’t open the car door for you or hold open the door to let you walk in first. Look out for the cheap douchebags who don’t want to spend money on you and only talk about sex.
There were times I only wanted sex so I didn’t mind and had fun, but then I wanted someone serious about me.
Honestly, I’m glad I found God because I used to be attracted to guys who are really dark and didn’t believe in anything. Those are the ones who can get evil, like the sociopath I met who threatened me.
I didn’t even know “depression dating” existed.
I’m an affliction no woman needs. I’m an immature child still looking for his mommy, and it only took, ohhhh, ten relationships and thirty years to figure out, so dating is laughable. And still, I hear “Don’t worry, you just haven’t found the right one!” Gimme a break.
You have mommy issues. I have daddy issues. My b/f is a decade older than me so it works out. Haha
Lol!
So…our only 3 options seems to be:
1- Find someone normal –> too difficult, normies don’t like us
2- Find someone else depressed –> no good
3- Be alone and depressed –> no good
So what does one do? And no, I do not want to be alone forever. It’s already been too many years.
I haven’t been on a date for around eleven years, been celibate that long also. I wouldn’t know what to do, or how to do it, and am growing comfortable with it. It just doesn’t matter anymore, to me. If I was going to do something about it, it would only be for a sexual fix, and would have to involve going to a fetish site and listing myself as “little boy needs his mommy.” What a dolt.
Lol ill help u with that dry spell 😉 if i went 11yrs without, id get so sensitive to touch that if a guy looked at me id c*m lol idk how u stay away for so long
Well, there are manual alternatives, although less satisfying, and once testosterone production slows, it becomes a lot easier to deal with. I miss the idea of sex much more than I miss the act, and all the accompanying drama.
Two words: sex doll. They make ’em quite pretty nowadays lol. Saw a documentary on it.
