Posted: 8/26/2007 2:59:28 AM | Good Question. I'm betting I'll never know the answer. Douglas Adam's hypercomputer Deep Thought is never around when you need it. I've seen on these forums that people over 40 are selfish. I must be guilty of that cause I'm back in school for MY OWN BENEFIT.  I'm taking a Developmental Service Worker Program at a local school.

Posted: 8/26/2007 4:19:14 PM | I agree with Libby.
I was married young and raised two children alone for 17 years. I'm in no rush to get married. I would love to find her some day, but there's no rush..Once bitten | |

Posted: 8/27/2007 11:10:07 PM | I'm single because my standards are friggin high. Why? Good question. I'd like to know why as well. No good reason.
I'm also very busy with different projects...
Hopefully, someday I'll find her. | |

Yet, when I ask them if they would like to go out sometime. Their answer is no. and then they wonder why I am single.
Yup, know that feeling. The story of my life.
4 more years until I am a REAL 40 year old virgin! | |

Posted: 8/28/2007 11:16:03 AM | I'm single, because I'm not at a place where I want to date casually, nor am I at a place where I feel I can support the kind of long term relationship I want to be in.
It's a Catch-22 of my own doing, really.
That, and the fact that single women in this city are either a lot younger than me (23 and under), or are single moms. And I can't deal with dating a girl who has a child that's not my own. | |

Posted: 8/28/2007 11:39:53 AM | Because my children come first, I dont like guys who think they can get a leg over and I am not here to be someones door mat.
Someone is out there for all of us, it's a case of going through the layers to find the right one for you. | |

Posted: 8/28/2007 4:42:20 PM | | My dear...that seems to be the first question I'm asked.....I've been divorced since I was 33, I'm 52 now....also the mother of five.....men see my picture and ask, why is a woman like you still single? Well gee guys, I was kind of busy raising children all by myself....working....trying to stay sane...lol...little things like that....we're still single, because maybe the right guy hasn't come along and if you're anything like me.....I don't want to be with someone just for the sake of being with someone....I don't want to settle....I want to spend my time with someone I love...so believe me, you're not alone....I think that question should be number one on the list of things men shouldn't ask......:) | |

Ohhhh. Is that why I'm still single? I'm so far out in left field it will only take another left fielder to notice me. 
I figure that I am still single because I am not willing to settle for "better than nothing". I played that game and in the end everyone loses. Although I have to admit after 6 yrs of datelessness, I'm kinda missing the sex.

Posted: 8/29/2007 10:46:07 PM | Okay anyone who wants to reply I welcome your thoughts. So some guy and I exchange #'s and he asked me if I would want to ride on his Harley, I said sure. Then he says he will be up my way the following week, I get an email today saying pack light we are going to the Kern for weekend and staying in a Hotel.
I am 43 years old and I do state no booty calls in my profile. This is why I am still single!!! I have been out with 6 guys so far on here, some i was not even attracted to...just to see if there is any chemistry...gave my number to numerous non callers and now get breathing calls at night...
Did we not go through this in High School? Is this the way it is now?

Truth is, most women I meet love chaos and drama. I don't. | |

donnaluv2005: Okay anyone who wants to reply I welcome your thoughts.

To put it bluntly, it is the guys you are picking to go out with.
The one example you gave: Want to take a ride on my Harley? You: Sure!
For many woman a HD is the equivalent to the Arabian stallion of vibrators.
For guys the HD is the Arabian stallion of vibrators to women. (OK, and they are just fricken kewl to ride.)
Your very first meeting with the guy was half way to a booty call.
Just food for thought. | |

| Why I'm still single
Posted: 8/30/2007 6:04:24 AM | You know, everytime I have a weak moment.. and decide.. "OK... I'm going to start dating.. I will actually MEET some of these men" I get to the point of talkign with them and almost meeting them... they start being really "truthful"... oh... the distance is too much... I really do not look like my picture... I sorta have a girlfriend....Could you come pick me up... can I just come to your place.... grrrrr...
If men KNOW the distance is too much.. then please... say that in the beginning and do not waste my time or yours.
If you don't look like your picture.. then.. duh... change it!!! If you can't drive or dont' have a job, please move on.
Are there any good truthful men out there who are actually who they say they are? And we ask why we are still single... finding a man is just too much work!!! | |

Posted: 8/30/2007 8:36:48 AM | | Learn something new everyday...had I known a Harley ride was like sex guess I would have rode one myself! I did not choose this guy by the way, he found me and we emailed a few emails for about 2 weeks then he springs a ride on his bike. | |
|
| The nerve...LMAO
Posted: 8/30/2007 10:40:48 AM | | Welll, I'm afraid if a simple ride on a bike suddenly became a weekend away in a hotel with a man I didn' t know....he'd be spending the weekend alone there....c'mon girl...you don't know what you'd be getting into! | |

Posted: 8/30/2007 3:42:26 PM | Having standards is all well and fine, but when does it become we missed our "one" because we wanted someone "better"?
We can keep looking for someone better until doomsday, but what would we miss out if we turn down someone just because (insert any number of name tag i.e not good looking enough etc), we'd never know because they werent in our list of what we want in another person.
Maybe it should be more about what we can change about us to bring the type of person we want in our lives, as it's no good wanting someone who ticks the right boxes if we dont tick them for ourselves. | |

Posted: 8/31/2007 1:44:19 PM | Hmmmmm, i am single because i choose to be!! I am not willing to settle anymore and if i am single for the rest of my life then so be it at least i will be happy!!!!! I am not willing to compromise my happiness no longer, I figure when i find the right man i will then choose to be in a relationship....just that simple!
Why does there have to be a reason someone is single ..... | |

Hehehehehe Why do you think so many women are becoming riders, it isn't because bugs in the teeth are so damned tasty.  | |

Posted: 8/31/2007 2:30:31 PM | | Dont feel bad i'm single & 44 i still get asked the question " your an attractive man & you've never been married? Dont worry about what other people may think just be you. | |
|
| The nerve...LMAO
Posted: 8/31/2007 2:39:08 PM | | I know this is odd coming from a male but this is one of the reasons i'm still single is that women want to classify us men all in the same group. Take it from me there are still some good guys left & not all of us are after a booty call | |
|
| The nerve...LMAO
Posted: 8/31/2007 4:22:59 PM | I refuse to settle. I need to be dumbfounded with butterflies or whatever you wanna call em.
Soul mates exist just don't limit yourself to one locale, thats a sure way NOT to find them unless you are lucky, the planet is huge | |

Posted: 8/31/2007 5:11:53 PM | Yeah I guess...so! Well now I know before I " Ride" with anyone I had better know them pretty well.
Thanks for the heads up | |

Posted: 8/31/2007 11:42:24 PM | Im single becasue I am...
Until I am ready to settle down and be totally monogamous I will concider myself single...even dating in my world doesnt change my status...I may say Im involved but i will still be single ring =no longer single in my book.
