| so, why are you still single?
Posted: 1/1/2008 9:29:03 AM | | I also think being a geek, dressing up in Star Wars costumes, owning my own lightsaber, going to sci-fi conventions, and things like that make me less attractive. I mean, lets face it. Who wants to date a jedi?? I was hoping that owning and riding my motorcycle would balance out the geek-ness but it hasn't worked. So I'm a biker with a lightsaber. | |

the popular idea that if someone has not chosen the marriage and children path that something is wrong with them, rather than see them as a person,
They admire the person's individuality, while shunning them. | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 3:14:16 PM | | I have not had any man say that he admired me for not having been married, it has all been the game of 20 questions asking personal questions about sex and my dating life and if anyone has ever wanted to marry me and then telling me that I am too picky or what is wrong with me to him which is why I have not been married. I do not suffer these fools gladly at all. | |

am i the only one who hears this kind of thing?
Clearly, you are not! And like others have said, it's flattering to be asked that and NOTHING is wrong with you. I'd be more concerned if no one asked *wink*
Ironically, the people who ask me are usually 1) unhappily in a relationship 2) wistful or envious of my life or 3) wishing they weren't in a relationship so they could attempt hooking up with me themselves. There is no simple answer in my case ... it's a combination of factors, ranging from my own offbeat life and attitude that makes me a bit too complicated for people who want an "average" woman, to a true enjoyment of my own company and a rich life that keeps me balanced and wanting, but not desperately needing a partner, to my choices about having children of my own. I haven't settled thus far and very likely will not because whenever I do think "ack, maybe I want too much" I remember that *I* exist so it follows that *he* exists. You know? | |

They'd never actually SAY it. They'll only pick on you & make you feel like there's something wrong with you for it... After all, you're the the one who isn't following the beaten path. | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 2:36:45 AM | Persons over a certain age (in my case, I'm 42) have many reasons still to be single.
I don't have children and at this stage, it would have to take someone very special for me to go into late motherhood with. Many men my age group have children and I don't really want to become instant 'mother' to them - regardless of their age but moreso when their are young children involved. It's a very personal thing but life for me is too short to become a surrogate parent to a sibling that is not mine.
We all tend to be perhaps too picky, too choosy I think. Whilst I am far from perfection on a physical level: many 'available' men in my age group have let themselves go. And before all the men out there burn me up:- I will quantify this by saying that many of the men who HAVE looked after themselves and kept in good shape, mostly tend to go for the younger attractive females. Do I blame them? Not a jot.
Let's not kid: there are lots of men and women out there who have been hurt in the past and whilst we have moved on: it still makes us a little wary. Are we all perhaps 'too demanding' in what we want / are looking for??
Me? Still single still looking. But would rather have that than be with someone just for the hell of not being alone. That's not fair to them or me and neither could be happy. | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 5:44:39 AM | I didn't used to be, and I certainly didn't plan it this way, but according to the expert (my ex) I'm childish, obnoxious, cynical and a general a$$hole. Yeah, that about covers it!
HAHAHA...joke's on her...I'm also a fantastic investor and made MILLIONS!!!    | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 7:20:01 AM | Hmmm... why am I still single???? No illusions here, I'm broken. There's not alot of people who don't want to get involved with someone with health issues of any kind. I'm not much of a catch since I don't work out everyday, ski dive or love NASCAR and the worst of it is that I'm intelligentand opinionated, oh gawd there is the death nail. Of course I could just be bitter and cynical about the whole thing and I don't get out very much to do a proper investigation into my blantent generalizations.
I guess that I have been too busy living my live, school, travelling, working or just having a good time. All things that I enjoy doing.... oh I'm sure all that could be great with someone special too... but it was never neccessary. Now, I just really don't get out as much so I don't really meet anyone new, and when I do make it out my house it is with all my coupled friends who never ask about my love life. I'm sure they know there is no point and probably don't want to make me feel bad.
Ah well I'm sure I could give the whole "I like being single" line to people... but really I don't it would be nice to have that someone around to give much needed moral support, hugs and to do all those chores around the house that I just don't have the energy or motivation to do.....  | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 11:38:39 AM | I hear it all the time, yet when I date guys I can't seem to get anyone to stay interested in me....even though I know I'm normal, fun and a nice person.
I think men my age are looking for perfection. That's why THEY'RE still single!!!  | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 3:23:13 PM | | I always say, "because I just got out of prison". Or, I tell the attached person asking the question ,"I've never really seen anyone in a happy relationship". DOES misery love company? ;) | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 3:43:47 PM | You aren't the only one, I get asked that all the time, and having been single for 4 years it gets very boring hearing it and whatever I say does not seem to satisfy their curiousity. There is nothing wrong with being single, lets face it, it has its advantages, its less hassle, you dont have to contend with other peoples hangups or problems.
Being single means to me that I dont have any problems, just little obstacles to overcome now and then. | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 4:11:47 PM | haha...I get asked this all the time....I just tell them that Johnny Depp hasn't fallen madly in love with me yet so I'm still waiting for him to come to his senses!!! | |

Posted: 1/4/2008 12:01:47 AM | | I just got that question the other day. I really haven't dated anyone ever and I think it's about time I did and met someone that has "some" similar interests. I'm the one that never gets looked at wherever I go but someday I know I'll meet that someone. | |

Haha you and me both, I either say that or "when Brad Pitt calls, I don't want to be tied down."
I usually find it funnier than they do, but that's ok! I love to laugh even if it's at myself. | |

Posted: 1/4/2008 5:25:20 PM | | Gee, I wonder why people are still single on here when women are only looking for rich celebrities. I think some of the women who are too good for anyone except the rich and famous need to come back down to earth. I'm not big on worshipping people with phony personas that have make up people following them around 24 hours a day. Movies aren't real life. | |

Posted: 1/4/2008 9:01:01 PM | I'm completely emotionally un-available. Took all the drama/trauma and general discontent out of the picture when I realized that all that smooshy stuff, wishful thinking, romantisizing, etc., just fukered me up ~ so today, I just hang out with my guy friends and that usually renders anyone interested in more ~ no longer interested. Works just fine for me. Leaving that past behind ~ moving on to the reality: my next long term relationship will consist of sea-monkeys, maybe a beta in a cool fish bowl and a ton of sanity.  At least when those die or become troublesome, I can just flush 'em. I like that option.  | |

Lemme guess...you're single because your sense of humor sucks? The Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Elizabeth Hurley posts were...a joke!
I mean obviously if I was involved and Brad Pitt called I'd just make arrangements to make it work. LOL
Lighten up. | |

Posted: 1/5/2008 7:57:48 AM | I get that it's kind of a joke but from what I've seen, it's more representative of the way women actually think judging by what they say all the time. It's funny how the media tells all of us who's attractive and who isn't and suddenly those are the people women seem to find attractive. Half of the supposed "great looking" people aren't even all that attractive. People need to get some common sense and realize that most celebrities are no better looking than anyone else and probably not very good people either considering the situation they live in. Guess I go against the grain because I see tons of people everyday that are at least as attractive as the so called "great looking" people.
Maybe I'm single because I have common sense and not many people these days are able to relate. | |
