So, I have been doing FB dating for few months and as to no avail no real down to earth people. I have either been asked for money to me telling them I'm disabled and they vanish. I honestly just want someone to get to know me take a chance. Honestly starting to lose faith in dating all together.

FB Dating is garbage! Don't take it personally...

I've had many amusing matches on there, but our interactions usually just turned into friendly chats.

I second this, FB dating is just yet another exercise in futility. The dating part of the app got me nothing, and joining a group dedicated to disabled dating yielded very little.

I would say most dating sites are garbage. I think your best bet is to have a few things you're passionate about and find groups or whatnot in those subjects. You might find someone who is into the same thing as you and hit it off from there. I think the dating world, going through apps and programs, leads to too much pressure on both sides. If you do something casual and fun, you can enjoy yourself along the way, and if you find someone into it as well, all the better. But I'm just one person with one piece of advice, don't take anything I say without a grain of salt.

I agree, most are scammers waiting to pounce on the innocent and naive people. And some that I have come across and heard about are really creepy and weirdos which can frighten off most people and their thoughts of having a relationship.
Instead, its better to join a group of your interests and likes, but rarely you'll come across a disabled person. So I have given up on that one too. But yes, you can make more genuine friendships which is rare in today's world.
As for dating apps, they are totally rubbish. So I'm avoiding it altogether. The algorithms don't work properly and you get weird and out of context stuff and people. Though I tried only one and that was enough. For the girls (devo or not) especially, its really unsafe.

I have had zero luck with it so far. Been signed up for about 8 or 9 months.

It's hard, but not impossible. I've met a few friends from dating sites that I've had for years now and chat with frequently, so connections are very possible. My last real date was about 1.5 years ago and came from a match on FB Dating. She was a pretty interesting woman who worked as a mortician! We went out twice, but I messed it up by not communicating my interest very well.
I don't know what the secret is, but if it matters to you, it's at least a good practice to update your dating profiles often with new, quality pictures and constantly rework and update your information.
