The honest truth about being single, legally blind, and gay is that it is hard to remain optimistic about your prospects in love as you continue on the trek to find the right guy. Sex does not drive my interest in guys, so that kills 70% of the dating scene, and I have to "come out" to them about my own issues from the low field vision.

I don't hate any of the guys I date either, it's just that much harder to really put yourself out there as you lose another bit of yourself. They are decent guys, but it is so hard to find decent guys out there to begin with and then have the date fail is like a slap in the face.

Could I lower my criteria?

Probably, I can do even more: groom myself to look like a gay porn star, wear super tight jeans to show off my package, maintain a strict diet and exercise routine that will get a few more looks from pervs, or show off my penis when I am exchanging emails (ugh, I like dick, but I don't need to see your junk before we meet. I block the guys that do that from my email).

I know I am ranting a bit, but I am back on the date hunting scene after 2 failed first dates, and I am just really pissed off to see the first responses are guys flopping their dicks in my face, when I explicitely said I don't want a hook-up or to trade pictures.
