This could either apply to men or women who have struggled in dating so much to the point of giving up. Some of you know (now imo regrettably) about my health and someone I know told me that I need to "throw standards out the window and take what you can get" because of my health

This in turn led me to go on a date with a girl I didnt find all that physically attractive and I've found out for a woman in her mid 30s that her personality and attitude is very immature for somebody her age. But because of what this person told me about getting rid of standards because of my health, I went out with her and the date didnt go so great

Now lets say you have something else most people would consider a "deal breaker"
-Obesity
-Social awkwardness
-Laziness (ie no motivation, career plans, future goals, etc)
-Dont make a lot of money (applies more to men than women)
-You're just ugly as fuch

And having one of the 5 issues above, causing you to have such downright awful luck with dating. Is there a point in a persons life where they throw standards out the window and get with the first person who likes them? OR are they better off being forever alone like me

I've also been told that because of my health that my "dating and sex lives are pretty much over" and that I'm "damaged goods" And since no sane attractive female would date me to begin with, and since I dont want to date the women who DO like me (too much baggage, crazy, drug users, single moms with multiple kids by multiple guys, etc) I choose to be forever alone

Now for those who just have downright rotten dating luck, should they just get with whoever they can? Or be forever alone?

Didn't you ask pretty much this same question on one of the last threads you started?

I was going to say the same thing

You stole my thunder.

So, therefore, I must do this

There's one standard I won't throw out the window. I am who I am, I want to be me.......Is that too much to ask? No, I'm not selling anything either....

You'd be amazed at how many guys I know, their SOs made them sell their bassboats, classic cars, guns etc.... The answer is NO!

Davie, like it or not, your health is a big factor. That's how it is. There isn't much getting around that. HIV is serious stuff.

I don't know about your "list," but everyone has things that can hinder dating. Some are major, some are minor. This is the hand you've been dealt. You can't overlook it as a factor.

Why do you put so much stock in what people are telling you online?

Yeah, but he doesn't............does he? I hope not.

That's not funny to say that if it isn't so.
