The Catholics and Buddhists must be on to something.
There must be a way to achieve a removal of desire for women through mental exercise and meditation.
One of my greatest frustrations in life is being out in the world and seeing dozens of women that are attractive to me, but none are available.
All desirable women have rejected me because I don't meet their standards of masculinity and/or fashion and/or hygeine.
I have Asperger's Syndrome, Schizophrenia, and/or a severe personality disorder schizotypal/narcissism/avoidant.
And yet, I feel a strong desire for women, and it is often for women that are not your stereotypical "beauties" but it is very ordinary women, even women that many others would find unattractive.
There must be a way to remove these desires so that I can enjoy my life without feeling these hurtful desires, desires that are hurtful because I know I'll never have a girlfriend, never hold hands with a woman, never kiss a woman. I'm tired of the pain of every single day having to see what I want but what I can never have.
I know everybody is going to say "you did this to yourself" or "change this and this and this and this about yourself so that you become desirable to the women who are the queens of the earth and you are to be our slave".
I know that women are not to blame for my frustration, but it's hard not to feel anger towards women, when there has never been a single woman in this world who has given me a chance. I know it's my own fault. But I can't help the anger and frustration that I feel, because changing myself is a lot harder than you might think. I have problems with socialization that most of you can never even imagine, because socialization comes so much easier to you. But with me, everytime I socialize I make severe mistakes and become a social pariah. I just don't understand how I'm supposed to behave. I can't just be myself, because being myself leads to isolation and rejection. You can't understand what it's like to be me. And I guarantee you it's a lot harder than you think it is.
You are the sole person responsible for your own happiness. You, and no one else. You sound emotionally unbalanced, and not at all suited for any sort of relationship. Either find a way to be happy, find SOMETHING that you can do, that makes you happy, or get used to being alone. It's no more complicated than that.

So you confirm that I have a SOCIAL DISABILITY that is not at all my fault. And yet, you start out by blaming me. Great.
My conduct on the thread about "what do you say when they ask you why you're single" towards srjth is proof that I have a social disability and no social skills whatsoever.
Try being in my shoes for one day.
The attitude on this board towards me would not be so cavalier and condescending if you people actually understood what it's like to be me.
What percentage of Catholic Priests are pedophiles? I don't know, but it's got to be damn low. There have been a lot of excellent Catholic Priests, such as the much accoladed Pope Francis.
It's actually damn high. And many Catholic schools closed. Many priests are in trouble or are no longer a priest.Arch bishops are in trouble.
"Celibacy can indeed be a challenge but the vast majority of sexual abuse is not committed by celibates," says Ms Smith. "We found 4% [of priests] involved in child abuse - that means for 96% celibacy did not present a challenge in terms of child abuse."
I did it the hard way, by getting burned so badly that I never wish to play with that fire again. Of course, I had my fun before that, so I know what I'm missing. After the sum of my experiences, I've determined that to be "not much." Curiously, over the past year or so, my sex drive has disappeared. I'm in my mid 30's. I don't know why it happened, but it's been welcome.
