man, i wish you would have gotten through that post without mentioning one of those banned items (tinder?)
anyways, about this "connection" thing ...what is it exactly that you want?
i did see you mention the generic marriage/kids thing..but specifically if you could create your ideal situation what would it be? what is needed for you to get from where you are now to where you want to be?
So since the op stopped dating, she's a lesbian? Kind of rude.
No one (certainly not me) stated she is a lesbian. It was merely a question -- not because she stopped dating, but because her post stated she believes she is incapable of forming a connection with men. That doesn't mean she is incapable of making a connection with all people.
People who are secure in their decisions not to date don't make grand announcements about it. The OP may have phrased it more delicately than a lot of the guys on this forum do when they do it, but it's still a flounce, still an "I'm taking my stick and my pucks and going home and you'll be sorry when I'm gone because look at what you're not getting."
Male or female, when people make announcements like that, my reaction is to say, "Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out."

Imagine if a woman had suggested that a man might be gay on here if he doesn't want to date. OMG, the horror! The offense! The challenge to his masculinity! MISANTHROPY! So I'm glad you said this.

More because she really had no interest in sex and has not been able to bond with a guy. IIRC she is still a virgin and has a medical condition that affects her sexually.
Absolutely no.insult intended to the OP. Just filling in history.

I see you're still butt hurt over our last exchange, so much so that you're actually agreeing with 49ersfan27 about something I said that was taken out of context. How sad for you to agree with something that was clearly misinterpreted.
Of three questions I asked OP, one was whether or not she considered women as a sexual interest. This is all based on her history of not being able to form an emotional connection with men and not liking sex with men. It's a fair question to ask, as it would be for the hypothetical male poster who creates a thread claiming he's never been interested in women. And maybe, just maybe, it's something that she could consider that would help her find happiness. Is that clear enough for you?

Uh no, those aren't my sentiments at all. I know it's a pointless announcement and people don't care. I just felt a strong urge to delete my last dating site account today and since online dating is all I've ever done, I felt that this officially marked the end of dating for me and just wanted to share. I wasn't looking for sympathy and I don't need my decision to be validated, but you can think whatever you like.

I'm willing to bet that the underlined is probably your problem. The OLD market is generally of very poor quality with some exceptions IME. Have you considered trying Meetup groups or co-ed sports leagues? I feel like meeting people organically and building ties over time tends to have better outcomes than meeting some in a cold encounter and trying to make it work.
