• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UKā€™s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

I know I mourn all the time about it. I just should suck it up and live with it. I really try it. But as so often venting on here is like a valve. I tried different dating apps and now I use an app where you can comment on the profile before the match happens. Now I am spending time to invent creative texts for strangers. Sometimes I am using chatGPT for it. I don't know how many I will have to write maybe 100 before I get a match? There is even the chance there won't be any match at all.

Honestly, using this app shows me I am not the kind of person that copes with self-harm. However, most self-harm is physically. There was a time I tortured me with dental floss. But watching gore is also sort of self-harm in my opinion.

Emotionally I feel like crying and puking after spending so much time in writinfg these thoughtful comments knowing most of them will be ignored or even laughed at. The only thing that comforts me is that I recently had a date with a woman from a dating app and it was quite funny. She does not reply to my last message for quite some time. I think this could be a bad sign. A very bad sign. It is sunday why shouldn't she have time to respond? At the same time not even giving a second date a chance makes me wonder. I think the date was not that bad. But I think we are too different. She is still a riddle for me. I cannot read her well.

Maybe focus a bit on yourself? You seem almost obsessed by how much you write about dating.

You are right I post a lot about it. I crave a lot for intimacy and a relationship. I have a strong desire for it. I think this is why it can cause so much pain in me. Due to the fact it comes with disappointments and rejections.

But venting helps also if it is annoying and repetitive. Still better than swallowing it all down in silence.

Personally I like your obsession with dating. Lots of people here, including me, are mostly obsessed with ourselves and our own problems. At least you spend a lot of time thinking about connecting with someone else.

There is always a strategy, you will find it for sure šŸ˜Š

Otherwise it's like in marketing... Good product =>> different traffic channels necessary, the more traffic (=more dating apps), the more chances of finding what you are looking for.
