Are you saying men are afriad of you? I think they are jealous because they want our awesome head tatoo! Though the men who do give off those vibes, I find the girls are always attracted to them. Maybe Its that bad boy vibe we are attracted to. But when its girls with that, we are called "****es"
Well, I was actually saying I'm afraid, but maybe you are right.. Sometimes I feel really**** and confident, sometimes painfully shy. And I thought guys liked confidence!
Your exactly right too! Boys with the sign, are "bad boys" and of course, us women are going to be atracted to that. But when we have it, cold hearted b**** is right. | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 10:05:49 PM | Well I don't know what keeps the rest of you single !
But for me it is being picky on who I would consider dating !
And I will not and never will change who I would consider dating !
And no I will never lower my standards just to get away from being single.
And those so called bad boys all the ladies seem attracted too are just doing what ever it takes to get what they want from the ladies .
And most bad boys are only looking for short time hot fun and then move on to the next one!LOL
And then we hear the ladies complain or **** about how bad they were treated by the bad boy ! LOL
Thats why I have my standards & also why I can smile and have a chuckle when I hear women complain about the bad boy who tossed them away for someone new !LOL

Posted: 5/29/2008 10:09:50 AM | | It is very hard to name one thing that is keeping me single. For one thing I am almost six feet tall and because of that have had very few people interested in me. I go to the single events and believe it or not am usually one of the tallest females in the place. At one point I thought I was too picky, but then I realized I have had noone to pick from. I have also been accused of being too nice, that just puts a smile on my face to think that doesn't make sense. I know I am looking for someone who is caring, understanding, loving, and the list goes on. I think the last reason for me is that I am not into one night stands, I want to be loved for me and to do that you got to get to know me longer then a few hours. | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 8:01:06 PM | What keeps me single?
Was engaged twice over the past 20 years, had my heart ripped out both times.
These girls seemed to think cheating with other men was the norm. Both turned out to be drunken low life's in the end and as far as I know, neither have amounted to anything but "rode hard and put away wet" wash-ups.
I guess after that, I have been a little less giving, less trusting and very picky as to who I date. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 4:49:42 AM | What keeps me single, is the lack of good quality men out there. They are mean and ignorant, and alot of them don't have a clue how to get along with and treat, and interact with a woman. They need to take classes on it, literally!
There are some good men out there, I just haven't met too many of them, so I am discouraged and stay busy doing other things in my life. Life goes on.

Posted: 5/31/2008 6:21:54 PM | Well most important thing keeping me single is very simple !
99% of every woman I have chatted with online do nothing but tell lies !
Plus they couldn't speak the truth if they could be struck with lightening !
But thats kinda the norm now adays !
Yep okay for the ladies to play mind games but its never right for a guy to not speak the truth !LOL
Gutt the fish or toss it over board would you !LOL

Posted: 6/1/2008 6:51:42 PM | LOL..skylynn..thats a good one..
anyway i dont know exactly why i am single..but some of teh possible reason is that i work overnight, and that includes weekends..hopefully i wont be at this job much longer though as i am looking something new. Maybe i just havent met the type of women i like..maybe i am not funny enough..lol..you know its hard to say..i also think that maybe its because a lot of the women i meet are very picky and and picky about unimportant things..i dunno | |

Posted: 6/8/2008 12:04:45 PM | | My standards. I won't settle for someone who can't commit to a deeply romantic connection. I'm very romantic and affectionate. I crave love on a deep level. My heart is an open book for the right person, and I simply love like I've never been hurt before. | |

Posted: 6/8/2008 9:50:02 PM | For me its circumstance mostly. I met someone great through POF just before i moved across the country and we still stay in touch but its very long distance.
For me a kind of cynicism has crept in, where I dont really have the time or inclination to make romance a priority anymore. If its supposed to be, it is. You cant make a flower grow any faster by tugging on the roots. | |

women don't keep in mind that a lot of guys are shy and it would help if they put in a little effort to get to know the gentleman. As you said, Paul, a lot of us have been burned a few times in the dating wars to that makes one a little more reluctant to plunge into the fire one more time
You talk as though women have not been hurt or are shy. Women have been as hurt as men, some even more so. Think of all the girls who have been left pregnant by some guy who refused to take responsibility for his actions, for example. How easy do you men think it is for someone in that predicament to find work, get her life together and thenfind a man worthy of her trust. In addition, women are just as shy as men and have more reasons to be self-conscious with all the judgements and expectations heaped on us! I have to break free of my shyness to make an effort and if I can make the effort to overcome debilitating self-consciousness, so can some man who deems himself "shy". Women make much more of an effort than men do. Just look at the number of favourites lists you men are on. Men don't make nearly enough effort to find what they're looking for. You expect us women to come to you. On virtually every man's profile they say, "Drop me a line" "Email me" or otherwise ask women to contact them. Using the women should contact us because we're so hurt" card seems more like lack of self-esteem. You're really only making excuses not to make an effort, by the sounds of it. Get over yourselves! | |

Posted: 6/12/2008 11:56:29 AM | I have had some insight into why some people may be single!
I have made the effort to invite some people to a weekly meet and greet in their area and they didn't even take a moment to respond. One didn't even bother opening the message - the title was 'Event Invitation' - guess they don't bother getting out to meet people face to face! There was only one gentleman out of about 20 that even took a moment to say thanks for the heads up on the event!
If you sit at home and don't make the effort to mingle with other singles - then how do you get to know people?
If you don't respond or open messages how do you communicate with others to find out id there is a match out there for you?
Being proactive gets results!
I was lucky enough to meet my husband at a POF dance! We both made the effort to get out and meet others - we often went on our own to events - simply to meet new faces! We even remain to make friends and attend events to socialize! My husband is new to Canada and I have lost a lot of friends (passed away) - so we want to build new friendships!
Being interested in other people and being polite enough to chat - might get you what you desire! | |

Posted: 6/12/2008 5:35:48 PM | Attention !
Theses so called singles events are okay ! But !
When it is the same people attending all the time and very few if any new people attending then why is it worth the time & efford to keep gong to these ??
It is no better then gong out to normal bar nights out and same chances of meeting someone . And I personaly don't want to go out to a bar to meet someone as most times its a one time thing you'll meet someone and at best its not for a longtime down the road .
So if one has to be a bar fly to date someone thats not what I am seekng at all!
So if I stay single my entire life its your loss ladies not mine ! I have better things to do then hang out at a bar waiting for you to get nerve enough in your belly to come chat !
And drinking to get some nerve up to come chat won't be good in my match list book either . But I will say if you want me BE REAL &GET REAL LADIES !
Or good luck !

Well firmbear8 - all the events I go to seem to have the same people too and infact they still do - but hey one out of the 30 or 40 I have attended - MY HUSBAND WAS THERE!! Ya never know when or where that special someone will come into your life - but you can bet your life on the fact that they won't come knocking at your door!!
The reason I invited people to this event was to bring in new blood - to mix things up and to have some new experiences - but hey I tried!! | |

There's so much I find wrong with this, I don't know where to start.
This sounds like a bunch of feminist bs.
Anyone who thinks it's harder for either of the genders is a little delusional.
I can't believe women are still pulling the whole "he got me pregnant and left me!" bs. I don't know a lot about the birds and the bees, but as far as I know a woman has to open her legs to get pregnant. I doubt she was complaining too much when the act happened. It's not cool to play the victim after.
Maybe women need to get over themselves, and realize that men are not the root of all evil.
I think I'm grumpy today. | |

Yes, you are. That's an assumption. So is the assumption that it is a bunch of feminist BS.
It is very easy for a man to leave a pregnancy, but I don't see very many women doing it. The number of babies out there that are unpaid for by men compared to women, is a ratio probably preferred not to be seen by men.
Women also have to be judged by other women. Men don't generally judge each other.
On topic, among the top 10 reasons that I am still single, is my ID. : ) For now I am content. | |

Posted: 6/13/2008 3:05:58 PM | I am the reason I am still single.
I am the reason I don't date all that often.
I am the reason women do not date me.
I am the reason I don't think I will be in a relationship any time soon.
I am the reason women stop showing interest in me.
I am the reason women scratch their heads and wonder, "WTF?"
Some posters should stop pretending they are not the reason they are single and maybe things will change. | |
