What you're describing is depression. Get help, and you could enjoy life again.
Meh...I've never really enjoyed life. Don't get me wrong, there have been moments, like the time immediately leading up to meeting the woman who destroyed me I was pretty happy.
But this is pretty much my default state.
My lifestyle in general, but especially post breakup with the devil woman, all but guarantees I'll have a short life.
It's fine by me, the shorter the better. All I really want to do is keep my fiscal house in order so that I can leave something nice for my nephews.
When I eventually come down with whatever is going to kill me (cancer, if I had to guess), I'm not going to treat it so that I don't have to pour all the money/assets I want to leave for them down the drain. Plus, the whole process will go faster.
i just got 16 straight rejections on okcupid (e.g. i sent a message and got no response)
i'm not "giving up", it's just how it goes. sometimes i do have great success, but it's very rare online. 25 - 30 year old average women have so many more options than average men.
A non-response to a dating site message really doesn't need to be classified as a rejection. This is not like someone who knows you, or has been involved with you, who suddenly excludes you or ditches you altogether.

There's no reason to dedicate your life to finding that perfect person. That's not healthy for anyone. When you try too hard to find a person or a relationship you end up going crazy and/or end up with someone not so good.
Completely shutting off yourself from the opposite sex because you're afraid of being treated poorly isn't very healthy either.
A happy medium is typically best in all aspects of life.

Dude, you're 35! You're talking like you're 85. And you're trying to convince us you were like this as a teenager?

C-D guys really scrape the bottom of the barrel to come up with "rejections", and keep score with them. They collect them in scrapbooks, and then post them here. If women did the same with every non-response on OLD or IRL, there would be no sane people left.
If you look through the thread, most people agree with him and say it's not always a bad idea..
He's the one jumping to conclusions about people being angry with him. Look at the posts he quotes saying that people are mad about him deciding to give up on dating... most aren't saying anything remotely near that..
People keep saying they don't care but I still see the same people posting and whats worse is none of them can attribute anything to this thread.

Romantic entanglements are not even on my radar anymore. With a nonexistent sex drive, and all the other things listed above, what would be the point?
I'm on autopilot. When I run out of fuel, that's where I'll land.

So what am I supposed to pretend like I never got rejected and was successful in dating? In my Shao Kahn voice "DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH".
