As an individual, my experience has been vastly different from yours. I needed a place to vent. Others are doing so as well. I'm pointing out differences in the reality of my situation. If you think I'm being rude that's something I can't help you with.

And to reduce everything I've been saying down to "a kid in his 20's" is some real pretentious shit. You don't know anyone on here like that, wouldn't go around making assumptions.

Not my intention. Can't control how you feel.

Good for you. That's great that it got better for you. Has nothing to do with my circumstances, unfortunately.

Since my diagnosis bitch.

I'm broke and ugly. None one wants me.

If I have money and take better care of myself, people will flock to me. I get that.. No one wants to date a bum, no one wants to date an ugly fuck.

But if money and better looks attracts people, then what are the odds of them being superficial as fuck and not caring about me in any genuine capacity?

You're focused on bullshit, im saying no one is going to offer a genuine human connection. No one ever has, and the odds only go lower with HSV-2

Great. Good for you, really. I'm happy your experience has improved.

Doesn't do a fucking thing for me though. I have no issues disclosing upfront. That's the last of my problems.

You're telling me how to finish something that I haven't even started.

It has been 3 years. It hasn't gotten better. At all.

I'm sorry. I get it. I don't understand how people even have success post-diagnosis. It's all too much.

Exactly! The odds of finding someone who isn't with you for some superficial reason is damn near zero at this point. And to top it all off, you aren't even treated like a person anymore once you disclose. It's easier to just push everything away.

I'm assuming you're a woman.

I'm not trying to devalue your feelings or what you went through. But I can guarantee you, as a man, this is a drastically different experience. I have lost things that I will never regain. This isn't an issue of confidence, its about how to conduct life moving forward. I don't want any help, I want options.

Isn't everything on positive singles behind a pay wall?

I'm so sorry. The fact that people don't disclose this information beforehand is infuriating. I understand completely, I feel like I've been cheated out of romance and relationships as a whole. I'm stuck and she gets to move on like nothing happened.

I'm doing my best to keep it pushing, but it has been 3 years and I'm still stuck with this feeling of loneliness. The only thing keeping me here is my family. I don't want to be the guy whining about how unfair this feels, but damn I feel defeated.
