Hmm, #1 reason: TO women are too fickle to ever have a LTR after age 40. I am investigating outside Toronto, much better results from everywhere else. Seems to be poisoned or something in the city.

Sorry TO ladies, wish you good luck though...you will need it!

Haven't found the right guy that can handle my bizarre sense of humour and independence.

Me....

Attraction is a big thing for me (I am not saying that I am into magazine or model perfect..I have unique and varied taste in men)...and when I find someone who seemingly "does it for me"...*wink... lol....... it appears that I am not someone who suits them or....they have 'the look' I crave, and have nothing to back it up (intelligence and humour are big turn-ons)...
So goes the merry-go-round of searching for a suitable mate.

I am not shy, introverted or have those other traits/blockers to attaining happiness...I am just a happy single and consider myself "selective".

Carpe Diem.....

Some of it is the fact that I smoke. The rest of it is that I am and always have been out in left field. While I am nearly 48, I don't act my age, don't look my age (soon I'll be posting a pic) and love myself the way I am. I also had a tendency to pick out the worst men. First hubby was wonderful in every way but we were too young. Second hubby turned out to be a real drunk. All sorts of bad stuff happened when I was with him the least of which was getting my credit rating screwed and getting evicted from our apartment. But I'm past all that crap and would love to find someone who loves me for being me. I don't think it's asking too much but I would hope he would love my daughter and our cats too.

Well.. Im still single because I don't have much time for a social life and live in a very isolated area. I was unhappily married for 30 years and no longer wish to live that way. The last man I dated for 2 yrs.....I was extremely atracted too imdediatly, and I don't even know why? If I saw him on the street I would have not looked twice. There was just something about him, his smile was amazing, it was all very mysterious, a wonderfull connection. Now Im waiting for that feeling again... maybe it's wrong but it was wonderfull! I would not consider myself picky but I do have to feal that attraction ...whatever that was it was intoxicating. I long for that one more time, nothing less. It's either there or it's not. So far not.

For me it would be my sense of independance and responsibility. My kids matter the most to me and in exchange for spending every second with them, I put everything else second and beyond and have little time for the attention and effort dating requires. I've been told (more than once) I have a "whatever" attitude about dating and letting people get close to me. I suppose that's true and it would be hard for any guy to "fit in" to our lives as I'm sensitive about things like involvement with my kids, time I spend away from the kids, attitudes towards my kids and changes to our already-established life etc.

Yep... I'm heading for the rumor-mill as the "cat-lady down the street who wears pj's 24/7 and ****es when the paper is 30 seconds late"

Well I have tried many times to break it off with the palm sisters !
So I can get out and do some dating .
But those nasty Botches refuse to move out !
They even follow me everywhere I go !
And their even in my face sometimes 24/7 and that does get boring after a while !
I even tried hookin them up on a singles site with other ladies and thought they'd chase someone ! But they don't .
So I guess I am still stuck with the palm sisters and if someone decides to date me they'l have too do something about them sisters ! As I have given up on them !

Uncertainty, a lack of trust of other people, work hours, not being in places that encourage socializing with others. Having trouble finding people with simalir hobbies and interests and those that would understand my personal hobbies and interests.

Well that and not really bothering that much out of a lack of trust of others.

I seem to find this to be true as well... I don't understand why though.

Number 1 reason I'd have to take a shot in the dark and say that there are a lack of single women in sarnia or immediate area looking for anything remotely serious?

The number one thing keeping me single is this invisible magnet I've accured that seems to attract men who like to think they're something they aren't (respectful, honest, faithful), be someone their not (good provider, good father, etc) or have something they don't (like a JOB!! - beware of profile that say they work in construction or home reno's).

There are good ones out there it's just the process of weeding out the ones that don't meet your criteria/match what you value. And it certainly doesn't make it easier when there are people on here who lie on their profiles - trying to be someone their not. It all comes out in the end but it sure does waste a lot of precious time.

I guess I have an intolerance to some of the pick-up lines used by some men. I mean REALLY!

Im working on myself right now.........it's not the time for me to have a relationship.

Having relationships (past) with women that are really incompatible. That's what I have really learned. The tough thing about this lesson is that it may take longer to meet a compatible person but I'm hoping in the long run, it will be worth it. We all just have to learn to say no when it comes to potentially starting relationships with people who really are not compatible with us.

For me, it's my kids first, and then I'm working alot too. There will come a time again where maybe someone special will be in my life again, right now, I just try to have my friends, who are all special to me and the two more important people in my life, my two little girls, who are my best friends.

Oh wow ummm there are many things keeping me single...Low self esteem, Shyness, I don't really get out much, the women I am usually attracted to aren't attracted to me and vice versa, most women seem to be scared of me because of my interests...I could go on forever haha.

Oh come on now all of you guys !LOL
Look number one thing keeping firmbear8 single is I scare the hell out of all the women . And they are afraid to go after a good catch as they might enjoy life for a change ! But other then that they don't like an honest /caring /straightforward type of guy like me. Plus they can not figure out why I am always in a good mood even if they decide to try and put me down !LOL

And yep I want a woman who is not afraid to come right out and tell me she wants to be my girl. But as I have found so far no women on here with the guts to say it !LOL
But I will say their chances to catch me are slowly running out ! As soon I will be only coming on here for forums & will be only here for local events news . As I figure its almost time to pack it in waitin.
