Do you think sex and relationships are overrated?

I remember going with one girl who had a reputation. All my friends tried to split us up. One friend warned me that this girl was a nymphomaniac - needless to say this wasnā€™t the worst news I had ever received.

ā€œIā€™ve had tons of relationships, and they were nothing but work in the end.ā€

Well for starters Iā€™m too poor to have one right now. However the closest I got was with a Woman who although was one sided still went out to eat with me many times. It was pretty nice and although there were lows I would say that overall it was a positive. Of course I have known women who I would think it would be best just to stay away from and not have in my life. So basically it is the same as what everyone says ā€œIf you meet the right person itā€™s niceā€. Thatā€™s my opinion at least.

Yes I have to agree. Thereā€™s more to life than just sex, a lot goes into a relationship.

Sex is definitely overrated. I think relationships are important though. Youā€™re not alone, Iā€™ve not been in a relationship with anyone since my twenties (Iā€™m forty two). I just never meet anybody.

Sex and relationships are definitely NOT overrated when done right, think of it this way,

sex and relationships are a lot like a fart, if you have to push it, itā€™s probably shat.

iā€™m lucky i was in a relationship before i got sick and she stayed with me anyway. i love her very much but donā€™t be in a rush to get into a relationship or it may just fall apart. we have sex but not as often as we use to before i got sick. it infuriates her i know it.

Yeah I havenā€™t had sex since my 20ā€™s also. I am in my late 30ā€™s, a lot of people think I look a lot younger though. So that can make things kind of awkward when trying to meet new people.

Meeting new people is a challenge with an illness but Iā€™ve read and seen many success stories. So I try my best to remain an optimisit :slight_smile:

Iā€™m sorry to hear youā€™ve been suffering so much. A person has basic needs and they need to be able to embrace what they desire that is the American dream. The things you go through arenā€™t just to you. Even when I was working as a sprinkler fitter in Las Vegas hardly any women wanted me or wanted to be around me. They were quite mean sometimes, and if it was meeting the first night (since then I was very outgoing), theyā€™d rip my heart out and leave me for dead with less money than before if you know what I meanā€¦

Theyā€™d get drinks from me, theyā€™d just live it upā€¦then ditch me to go drink with some other guy when I was too poor to get them anything else.

It made me twisted in a way, and I have to STILL take out the kinks in my lifeā€™s rope I guess you could say.

Youā€™re not alone, Iā€™ve been rejected many, MANY times. But the fact of the matter is you have to keep trying or thereā€™s nothing else to live for. Get to it when you feel it is time to try. But donā€™t put it off foreverā€¦that means all the girls will be chasing YOU instead of me!~

Do your meds kind of kill your sex drive?

The reason I ask is because I was on a massive amount of risperidone when I was first diagnosed paranoid sz.

And my sex drive back then was close to nil.

Hi @neveragain nice to see you online.

Yeah I am over being angry about being rejected. I am quite content with the fact that not every woman is going to be attracted to me.

I really just want a friend I can kind of kick it with, and see where it goes from there.

Have you ever tried meetup.com?

No, is it safe and reliable?

Itā€™s more of a group based website rather than datingā€¦so it can be easier for you to integrate.
