Look, I make jokes about my own pain.
I am a 29 year old virgin who has never kissed a girl. I am constantly joking about being a grumpy old virgin who hits people with my walking stick, or chases the elderly ladies around the nursing homes.
Your problem is that you see everything as black and white, and you also don't have the ability to laugh at yourself. The ability to laugh at yourself makes you a happier and healthier person. Have you ever watched a Robin Williams or Jim Carrey special? Those comedians cope with depression (and in Robin's case, Bipolar), but they JOKE about their negative situations, and make people laugh.
I am not saying that you have to yuck it up about everything. But for god sakes, that would make us like you more...than this "I hate men because they are all nasty creatures who rejected me because they are all shallow and I am so ugly that I will never find someone who isn't shallow because all men are shallow, etc", kind of thing.
