| so, why are you still single? Posted: 9/22/2007 12:50:55 PM | I wish I had written transcripts of my encounters so you could read them because I guarantee that you would be as puzzled as I am. If I'm offending you in some way then I apologize. I'm obviously not the only guy who notices this problem.
How does that saying go again??? "What we put out we attract,in likeness"  | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/12/2007 2:12:30 AM | Uhmm!!! Lets say I give up...2 many undecided man...maybe 2 many choices for both sexes... or could be that it is just not my time to be with someone...or could be what my BFF said; I am just intimidating...many men can not take a strong, independent, educated woman etc etc etc...but one big reason now could be that I have my profile "in hiding" since seems to be that guys are not really intereted on finding the right person to share their time with...LOL any ways good luck and THX for listening | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/12/2007 2:26:24 PM | Because it seems what I seek in a mate and companion does not exist. What I seek is not particularly outrageous or impossible, or even that demanding. Still alas it does not seem to exist or at least it has not crossed my path in the last 5 years.
I'm single because I choose not to accept or to conform to the current scocietal views and superficial values. I seek someone who is compassionate because they are and its right not because they expect or want gain, I seek someone who values the person not the appearence be they doughy or be they barbie. Who sees not the masks nature gives us, but the person our actions make us. I seek one who reminds me by who they are the answer to the question I was once asked many many years ago.
I was asked once when I was young before I knew or could think of how to answer when my skills and callings were so strong to my duties "you say you love me but how can I believe that when you would give your life for anyone?" while i knew I loved her it was not for her I would be able to answer but for someone else years later although she too broke my heart. "because despite that I would give my life for what I believe is right and for another, I would let no power on earth save that I have none left to stop me from coming back alive to you" I seek the one who both understands this and embodies it and reminds me again the feeling that inspired it. I seek one who is my equal and maybe even my better, that I might compliment and share my life that it becomes ours.
But as I said such I do not think exists any longer replaced instead with the vanity and conciets and shortsighted who see only the outer shells of all things and the meanings of none. Who seek to insult mock and berate that which is different. Who see the world in its modern starkness of black and white and refuse the grey. Who see right and wrong but just let the wrong go and follow along because its easier. So I walk alone | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/13/2007 9:47:34 AM | | Ya know, I've only been asked this question once in my life, and it was by someone who had known me about a decade. So whatever it is, it must be glaringly obvious to everyone (except me), or maybe it's a don't care kind of thing. | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/13/2007 11:54:35 AM | With me single is great! Ive been that way for a while. Who wants to play the fool? I find myself happier not allowing men to belittle me. There are so many mature people in the world, why settle for those that feel the need to wipe the rug out from under you in order to keep you in their playing field. Not this girl. If a man needs me to feel like less than himself im pushin on. Lifes to short and I dont have time to waste.  | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/13/2007 11:57:55 AM | | I'm thinking that it's hard for someone who is chronically single to not come off sounding needy & desperate. | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/13/2007 11:59:41 AM | lol thats funny. Im sure we all have our down time but is it nessisary to rub it in constantly. | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/13/2007 12:20:45 PM | | It's sometimes more than just a choice, especially if we are all divorced. It creates that level of caution that makes us very picky. We don't like to admit that we're picky, but we all have types that we are attracted to. Not a search for perfection, for sure, but we are on the hunt for someone who will make us happy. I think marriage is like giving someone a ring--it's the ultimate commitment, to show one's pride in our choices. | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/15/2007 4:04:56 AM | | I get asked the same thing by women. for some reason being single seems to imply something negative to them. I guess if people are implying something is negative about you or your lifestyle, then these are people you probably wouldn't want to know anyway. | |
|
| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/15/2007 11:06:50 AM | Because it's all about how you fit with one another.... It is not about looks like most think. I have far been blessed with GQ looks but have always made the one's I have been in a committed relationship with laugh,feel loved,and trusted. I want that in return and until I find that I choose to stay single. I think we all deep down know when someone unique comes along and they could be the one for you. The hard part is getting that feeling back in return. Until you find that why settle? Truth and knowing who and what you are goes along way in dating.  | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/15/2007 3:44:14 PM | LOL..... Why is it that single women all have cats??? hahahaha...... Anyway I am 33 and single too. I think for me being a strong christian its challenging as I put God first in my life and want to find someone who will do the same. But I have faith that if Gods plan for my life is to be married, He will find that special man and somehow make our paths cross. For now, its meeting people and developing friendships! | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/16/2007 1:57:48 PM | Enjoy being single..... There is nothing wrong with it!!! You just have not met the right person yet. Those people that ask you why your still single are probably the same ones that are insecure with themselves & they need someone to make them happy. Happiness starts from within!!!!
Happily single!!!! and "Loving it"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/16/2007 5:53:32 PM | | Frankly, I don't know why I'm single. At this point, I would really prefer not being single. Other then the obvious answer that I havn't found anyone worth not being single for. Although perhaps a more honest answer is that the type of women that I'm attracted to doesn't seem to be attracted to me. I can't be that much of an eye sore? | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/17/2007 10:40:56 PM | **WOW! I'm not alone! Before my nieces signed me up for internet dating, I thought I was an oddity, an old maid, or a spinster. I may still be that, but I AM NOT ALONE! I've been so tired of people asking me THAT question as if there's something wrong with me. I choose to be alone. Is that so wrong? NOT IN 2007! **I haven't dated a lot. Maybe I give off that "get away" vibe. The men that do ask me out (outside POF, thus far) turned out not to have jobs, they drank beer daily or they wanted to control me in some way. The POF men I've met have been kind but there isn't any chemistry for either side. **I like my life, however, I would like to try to make my life even better with a best friend/lover/companion. Until then, I'm single because I choose to be single. | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 10/18/2007 6:40:58 AM | | Work, work, work, work, kids, kids. I did date a few times but it just didn't work out. Time and energy are precious gifts sometimes during my life and making it ALL happen is difficult. | |
