I am 24 and a perv, which makes being on a site full of teenagers even worse x_x

... Hi.
That's understandable.
I never heard of the adult Gaia until you just told me about it.
It was a little too edgy for me. I mean, I'm glad they tried, but it's like Gaia tried too hard to focus on their supposed target demographic (you could not create an avatar that wasn't dark, moody and vampire-like if you tried).
And that attracted a very small portion of the people I was hoping to see there. And the people I did talk to who were local, maybe we could meet up, etc. were OK but not my style... What attracted me to Gaia long ago was the story, creativity, RPG elements, not the goth elements...
Also, I hate to say it, because I love the nostalgia, but Gaia feels stuck in the early to mid-2000's, which is a long time as far as technology is concerned.

But apparently it's been taken down?
Good. Now I don't have to worry about removing my pics xD

I used to frequent Omegle, but not anymore due to guys trying to get me to flash them.
._.
Now with the advent of other tech (Snapchat, Instagram, Kik, etc.) you're like most people.
It kind of sucks because I wouldn't even go on there if like Tinder or something didn't suck as well, or would let me build a profile. But apparently you need FaceBook for that, and the FaceBook profile I do have (literally just to keep in touch with one or two friends) isn't sufficient to let me register.
Plenty of Fish, OkCupid are generally OK sites, but surprisingly few people actually date someone they meet on a free dating website. Men and women go on those for different reasons (women for compassion, men for hookups), and many of the people looking for serious relationships are hurt and have serious trust issues.
Which is definitely, definitely cool, it's just that if my life was where it needs to be, I probably wouldn't be on a dating website to begin with...

Eek.
Baby mom.
Never good.
She's actually awesome and we're moving in together to save up on money! I owed $2,000 in taxes this year, rather than getting money back x_x
But it is a little upsetting that I won't be able to date for another year or two because of it...
If you read this, my comments below might not make sense, but I don't like working full-time, want to start my own business while working part-time, and this is what I need to do it. Plus, and don't tell my bm this, I had to borrow thousands of dollars to meet my financial obligations...
I can't wait until my lease is up -___-
Hi again xD
I hope I don't come off as too strange.
Just in a weird place in life, reaching the "standard" idea of success (career, child, long-term savings, retirement plan), but still not satisfied. 3 - 4 years ago, I was a little younger and had saved some money to where I didn't have to work (I also had two room mates, making my living expenses dirt cheap), only to become immensely depressed.
Turns out all of the things I thought I "wanted" to do (game development, investor) felt useless. What I ended up loving and being good at is the thing I was afraid of, business software development and interacting with people. To an extent, I began to realize this while I was still not working, only to finally start going outside more and realizing I had moved into the friggen ghetto and people were trying to start fights with me while I walked my dog.
Fell back into a huge depression, invested $300 into Bitcoin, made $30,000 - then lost it all because I had developed a gambling addiction.
It just puts you in a strange place emotionally, and like, existentially, when all of the things you grew up thinking you wanted to do aren't of value any more.
... Life is strange. Wish someone would have taught me these lessons sooner. I think a couple people tried, but I was too stubborn to listen
