Why do people come here just to complain about how they'll never find someone?

I don't expect to find anyone, but it doesn't mean I'm not going to look. I'm more interested in making friends at the moment anyway, I'll find the right person whenever it happens, perhaps I'll make a friend who will be the right person for me, only time can tell.

^^ That's the right attitude.:)

To me, it's easier said than done to just "man up" and keep your depression, anxiety, and frustration over relationship failings bottled up. Especially when it seems time after time, no matter how hard you try, you never get over the "just friends" hump. If helping vent on a dating site gets your emotions poured out and helps you cope, I'm all for it. I just wouldn't make a habit of constantly complaining about it IRL to friends. Once in awhile is fine, but complaining about it constantly can get old after awhile.

I think as a passing vent only towards people you trust is fine because to be honest, people can feel lonely when they don't have a partner from time to time and letting out that frustration just to clear your head is all well and good imo but there are so many people who are crying it out to the public and it's just really... Well, kinda sad if you ask me. I would rather put effort into actually finding someone rather than wasting said effort to get sympathy from people which is pretty damn pitiful.

Agreeing with some previous posts, it's a matter of perpsective. Instead of looking at it as trying and failing to find someone, maybe just see it as learning and preparing for THE ONE. Don't if there's any polygamists here, but if you're looking for that special someone amongst literally millions of ppl, chances r you're not gonna find them the first few times around. That's just reality. Just learn what u can with each relationship that didn't work out, so when that special one shows up, you'll b ready.
