Soooo….I joined a dating website. Seriously, I did. Now I’m not going to tell you which one, cuz once I tell you about it you’re sooo going to want to go and join. But I don’t want you to. Because you’ll be all grabby and snatch up the good ones for yourselves. You’re greedy like that. And I’m selfish and immature like this.
Now this dating site is Not your old stupid ‘Match.com’ or ‘eHarmony’…no sirree-bob. This place is super special. You have to have certain QUALIFICATIONS to join. Yeah, ya get that? You gotta be QUALIFIED.
This is what is referred to as a Niche market, sweetie, and I’m Niching the hell outta it.
The QUALITY you must possess to be in this ‘market’ has nothing to do with how sex-alicious you are…or how strongly your Mensa flag flies. Nope. It doesn’t matter if you make 6 digits a year…or if you’re a twin. No one cares about that shit…At. All.
Nope…the only thing that qualifies you to be in this group is that you have your very own section in the DSM 5. That’s right~! You gots ta be crazy to BELONG. The buggier, the better.
I like dating the mentally ill. Nothing is more fun than going on a manic joyride with a bipolar who has forgotten to take his Risperdal. Seriously, you can’t make this crap up. And if you get super lucky and meet a Dissociative? Girl, that’s some heavenly shit…just think, you could, at any moment be in bed with four or five different people…and NOT be a slut~! YeeHaw~!
And of course, if you like to play ‘hide & seek’…no one is better than a Schizophrenic. They are Super at disappearing…or just finding really awesome hiding places where not even the CIA satellites can find them. Never…I’m telling you…NEVER a dull moment with a Schizo.
Of course all of this helps if you’re Bipolar, like me. Then you get the inside scoop…the secret codes to how to date one of these most fantastical types.
Oh…one more fun thing about this site is that everyone…almost every single person is either an artist or a super geek. The much pondered connection between brilliance and insanity really struts its stuff here…And EVERY one is a walking med encyclopedia. WebMD has nothing on this site. Fuck Yeah~!
Now off I go to the Chat room…I never know what anyone is talking about, but I’m in city government, so along with being Bipolar, I’m kind skilled at making sense outta nonsense.
MY MASK:
Janet, much as it would be interesting to browse the site I must admit, I have had my share of dating the mentally ill(diagnosed and undiagnosed). My third wife had Schizoaffactive Disorder(my diagnosis also) and must say it was the most unique marriage in my life that lasted a grand total of like 10 days(we did get to date an entire 3 weeks before). A few of my peers have hooked up in the past and had successful relationships including one couple who met in a homeless shelter and now owns a large company for the past several years. My reasoning isn’t isn’t necessarily about the unpredictability of a mates behavior, or having to walk on egg shells 24/7,…much of my reasoning is it’s what they have to go through to endure my bullshit. I recently had my meds lowered after 5 years, and to be frank, I wouldn’t want to be around me. I have been edgy, flighty, and tense. True, I now have good PRN’s in hand(for naysayers, you don’t get adjustments without a few bumps) and am leveling out after about 2 1/2 weeks, but know if I had someone intimate in my life(over a period of time) that was mentally ill, God only knows where they would have landed.
Over the past 2 weeks my peers have tried to set me up twice with those who had met me at mental health events. Both times I said nope because of a lot of things including the fact that I am waaay to plugged into the mental health system to start with and frankly, I don’t want to worry about someone’s recovery(hopefully not!) at least not on that level.
But my philosophy for any of my peers is to always go for it(!) if you feel it’s worth it and.. Janet honestly, any man that gets to date you is a lucky man indeed. The positive relationships seem to have worked out in a big way, and I guess that’s what we all look for if you mentally ill or not(who knows)…and in my life, if someone dropped from the sky that I liked, maybe I have got to remember never to say never…
Add: Not saying it isn’t fun to just ‘hang out’ and have fun..not every relationship had to be a grand plan where 2 people are looking for magic…is this too serious? Maybe it’s time for more meds, lol…
I want this site name. Please. I need crazy people. Or I’ll die. Maybe.
