I (30M) have been single ever since I was 19 and without a kiss from a woman for 6 years, and I personally feel emotionally and mentally demoralized as a result of it. I feel extremely lonely on a daily basis, and that loneliness sometimes triggers my depression.
From my past experience with dating apps, I’ve been taken advantage of by scammers acting as women. Since then, I’ve become wiser with not interacting with those people.
In this past year, I have only been on two dates so far, and I ended up being ghosted/rejected by them in the end. My entire life story with dating apps has been constant ghosting/rejection, and, personally, it’s very emotionally and mentally demoralizing.
