Someone just commented on my page here about a post I'd made in this thread; "Feel sad for you, but from reading this, sounds like the lady dodged a bullet. sigh"
So I guess I made the right decision in giving up for good. I acted on someone's advice in sending this lady that package, although had I known that it would cause her the least bit of discomfort or distress, I never would've sent it. Anyway, I'm thru with the whole dating scene for 20 years now, except for an occasional hooker. At least with them I don't have to worry about rejection.
Comments like the above mentioned only reinforce my conviction that I did the right thing in abandoning dating for the rest of my life and never trying for anyone again. I only wish I'd had the courage to give up for good back in high school. That would've saved a whole lot of grief.
Anyway, staying out of the dating scene and not getting involved with anyone is one of the very few long term plans that I've been able to stick with. Staying clear of women or dating for 20 years with no temptation to ever go back, I would have to say is quite an accomplishment.

That's downright horrible! Sorry you had to receive such message.

Thanks!! Yeah, something like that will definitely wreck havoc on anyone's faith in human nature, won't it? It's a wonder that more people don't give up.

There's many that already have given up for various reasons pertaining to the subject.
I by choice never married or had kids because with the way a good percentage of society is these days I see it as a lousy business deal. Believe me I had plenty of chances to marry and have kids.
IMO: Love is mostly a Hollywood illusion though there are some exceptions with some people that it all works out great from what we see, read and hear anyway.
Dating is another book I don't wish to write here.
Plenty of posts within threads here to read that will back up what I said.
I agree with the poster who said Love is just a hollywood illusion. I haven't given up on "love", because that would have to mean it's something I believed in the first place, which I never did. It's just another lie the media sell to the people to give them false hope... like "anyone can become president." Lols. Both my parents just used each other for money anyway and told us when we was growing up not to ever believe in "love" because it was fairytale nonsense. The true face of marriage is actually quite ugly...

Damn, that's cowardly. What a way to kick someone when they're down.

Kicking people when they're down is what they do on this forum. Many of the people here haven't evolved pass high school. No matter what age a person is, never expect them to act like an actual adult.

I've been 'kicked while I was down' and I'm sure I've done some kicking myself. Honestly, it's reality and reality sucks.
You may see it as kicking someone when they're down, but others see it as simply telling the truth. I don't need some sugarcoated 'Everyone will find love!!! There's someone out there for everyone!!!' BS fed to me because I know it's not true. Most people will end up settling because of the fear of being alone. Period. That's reality, and while it may not be pretty it's not going away anytime soon.

You haven't read the comment of the guy I was responding to have you? Believe me that's kicking someone when they are down.
