26 and still single. Should I give up?

I find your pic rather intriguing because you are not showing your face and so
why Aut can claim you are not hot I do not know but do not let this worry you

Thanks. I thought he might have been referring to the rather unflattering work uniform I was wearing from the leisure centre.

Maia, wot’s the rush, chill and yes, stop looking. When you meet your man you will know it!

Forget about the losers.

Giving up isn’t an option if you’ve never tried.

If your idea of hunting is to become the bait, don’t be surprised if you get devoured.

Maia, I have the same problem as you.
I stopped hating women because I realized it’s not a gender thing, I know many women get ghosted and seem to be invisible and get no replies to their emails and messages.

I think it is some kind of spiritual Twilight Zone or some cloud of darkness hanging over certain people, sabotaging their lives and trying to make them miserable, manipulating people.

I don’t think you get what she means. I have been approached by these kind of men as well, it’s not pretty nor is it romantic at all.

Objectively, nothing. You’re probably pretty good looking, even if you can’t look at stuff very good.

Dating with serious disabilities is very difficult. It’s tough enough with invisible disabilities like ADHD or mental illness. But once your disability is visible, you pretty much have to be up front about it. Online dating is super easy and rewarding nowadays. I would definitely date someone who was blind if I thought they were cool, but I think I also recognize that it can be difficult for the people you might want to date. Disabilities shouldn’t prevent you from doing most things, there’s almost always a way to do the same things anyone else would do. But some thing just aren’t the same. Like bowling, or pretty much any sport or video games, visual media, stuff like that.

I just got married at 27, and it’s pretty great. So thinking about giving up at 26 is definitely a mistake.

I don’t see myself just as a somebody with a disability that any potential partner would have to put up with.

Why don’t you flash that pretty face of yours around and you won’t be single for long?

Sometimes i try to make new friends.
Sometimes i just piss around and rest my mind.
The whole issue is with existential philosophies on human nature.
People are scared of being used.
They don’t want things to be unfair.
Other people don’t really care about people and they want to use everyone up.

I met one fellow whom lied to all his friends and tried to get money out of them.
He lied so much, like, a really bad lier.

I’ve met some near-perfect people though, for what counts.

Some people make the game no fun.

Would you consider going on The Undateables?

Now… before you scoff… I consider myself currently quite undateable… and have been since early last year due to a major lovely little chronic illness flare-up, but… why are the contestants so blunt, forward and fruity? :laughing:

No, and why should you?

The problem isn’t that people are buttholes and would view you as “just someone with a disability”. You are obviously more than a disabled adult. But you still are also disabled, and it does present unique challenges in any long term partnership. Most disabled adults get along fine without the assistance of a significant other. But there is almost always some kind of reliance or at least assistance from family.
