Being on anti-psychotics does not mean a person is "clinically crazy". They are prescribed for a whole host of mental issues, including depression.

The weird part is that they don't even try. If a chat feels stale to me I put in some extra effort, but they'll just sit there waiting for you to continue playing talk show host.

I think it's more about finding the one whose quirks and scars are compatible with your own. See those two freak flags flying in the wind and think how beautiful and weird and cool they look together. The cracks in my armor make me unique and honestly seeing someone with bright, shiny, seemingly crack-free armor would…

Yes, because we all know the really stable happy people are the ones who married right out of high school and are too scared to ever try for anything else.

preaching to the choir sister. Amen.

If you look at demographic trends, you'll realize that this is becoming more and more of an antiquated line of thought.

"if you haven't come to conclusions about these types of things, do it before you venture out into the dating scene" — LOL, I'm 40 and I am still figuring these things out! I would definitely disagree that you need to sort out big life choices before you enter the dating pool, unless, for example, you feel strongly…

Ugh, online dating. I think it's great in concept, but everyone I meet is so cynical (probably because of online dating). There's always a roster of "psycho" exes, too. Guys, if all of your exes are psychos, you should look within. When you point a finger, three fingers point back at you.

I am in the exact same position as you—even down to the married men. I know that I have always given off an air of being unapproachable, but when I was younger, the guys were brazen enough to try anyways. Now I just feel like all the creeps/socially awkward/and man-children are just wasting my time.

No reason to feel sorry for us. I'm awesome. I've met plenty of awesome people. Most of us aren't damaged or fucked up horribly. I do have an odd personality, but I'm damn proud of it.

Uh, finding someone who I don't argue with, don't have issues with, like being around, and accept their flaws is pretty much the whole point of me dating. We all should be so lucky to "settle", I guess.

Did you just break into my brain?

Is this a fucking joke? Anyway, I'm sure glad the ghetto hottie from Detroit was taught manners by her grandmother. I mean, it's pretty amazing when you run into colored with manners, amirite? You sound like a total dick.

I think we know who "settled" in that pairing. Inner-city hottie? Gross.

Most people are terrible and all of them are crazy.

Lucky for you that your wife's dealbreaker wasn't 'massive douchebags'.

This is wrong. I would be what you call fat, and I have no trouble finding a date. and I don't discriminate with who I date either, size wise or any other category they use for sorting on most of those sites. If you're cool to me, we can date.

Yes, this. I am 38, never married. When I was a stupidly fearless 27 year old, dating was awesome! I had more guys than I knew what to do with. I don't think I've aged that badly (I'm regularly mistaken for 30, and I think I'm pretty cute), I have a nice job, I'm smart, I'm funny and I have great friends, but it's…

So optimistic! I'm not sure I buy into that, because, after all, I'm only partially crazy and not particularly terrible, yet here I am ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
