You'll probably think I'm crazy after you read this, but I'll post it anyway:
The way I see it, if people can't find love (no first kiss, date, relationship, anything like that), then they probably deserve better than the people they ask out, or they deserve to have something better than romantic love.
Not only is there more to life than romantic love, there's probably many things that feel better, make you happier, make you grow into a better person quicker, etc.
It's not fair for people to be depressed just because they are not lucky in the hell-hole that many have labeled "the dating world".
My advice, take anti-depressant pills and things like that, talk to Kiwong and get his
advice (he's a smart guy, trust me), and get plenty of exercise (like bike-riding, running, swimming).
Before I started having seizures, I did those things for hours, and not once did I think of romantic relationships.
Being strapped to SA (and having anxiety trap you in your house), may prevent you from
these luxries, but if you manage to get the anti-depressant medication, and the exercise that works your body, you might have the chance to free yourself from the sadness that takes away your happiness created by something that you can't recieve.
I think that if you never have a love life, you obviously deserve something better. If you can't find that special someone, then you are going to recieve something greater.
Love isn't this "magical best thing in the universe". If it was, then why do 70% or marriages end in divorce? Why do some people commit suicide if they experience heart-break?
The answer: The media of the united states (and possibly other nations as well) have brainwashed people into thinking that it's wrong to be single, and wrong to be a virgin, when that's not true at all.
The reason why so many people are middle aged single virgins is because the people they ask out don't want them.
It doesn't matter if you have SA or not, most women just automatically select the men they like and don't like.
You can't control other people, and you don't command their thoughts or desires.
If you're going to be single forever, then you have no control of that, nor does anyone else.
Everyone on this forum who's single deserves something better than a love life if they can't recieve love, and even if they do, it might do much more harm than good.
Life is not built just for romantic love, it is made specifically for what you want it to be.
Romantic love is only meant for human reproduction, nothing more.
Love will never solve all of your problems, and there's probably a chance that you're depression isn't caused from being single.
Will a woman ever ask you out? No. Will having a soul-mate make you happy? Never.
Does being a 40 year old virgin (or older) make you a bad person? If anything, it makes you the opposite.
Am I doomed to remain single forever? Who cares?! Enjoy your freedom from being single! Enjoy being able to do whatever you want when you want! Girlfriends/wives can't bring you happiness. If you think that, then you've been brainwashed by the disease ridden cess-pool we call the media.
Will I die alone, cold, and miserable? No, if you have friends and family, then you will NEVER be alone. If you didn't have a girlfriend before you reached you're 20's, then
women aren't going to like you, AT ALL. It doesn't matter if you're single forever, if you're single and still unhappy when you have become a senior citizen, then it's not being single isn't why you're depressed. It's probably a chemical problem within your body.
Ultimately, you can talk to whoever you want to about love, but no matter what you read or hear, you're never going to find happiness from having a love life. You're the one who brings happiness into your life, nobody else.
It's up to you to get the happiness that you deserve, you can't expect anyone else to provide your joy in life.
I've learned a lot about romantic love in the last few months, and one of the things that I have found is that if you are going to enter a relationship, you need to be able to handle someone else's emotions.
That's definitely a sign that love is not the key to happiness, because your girlfriend/wife is not going to be happy all the time.
So...yeah, love is not the key to happiness. It's just another job, except you don't recieve money, you recieve a slow, painful death that makes you regret the day before you were even small reproductive cells.
We deserve to choose for ourselves (what makes us happy).
