Posted: 1/5/2008 9:24:18 AM | I agree, girl, we are here to date and have fun. It's not suppose to be hard or some sort of chore. Plus if the guy can't find humor in a simple little remark then hopefully he can find his way to the door.  | |

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.
Actually it's not kind of a joke, it's a joke. And it's not based on what we're looking for, it's based on what you men are always telling us we're looking for. You gave us the material, we just went with it.
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.
All the media tells me is that no matter how rich and famous you are, you can still have issues (Hilton, Spears, Lohan, Baldwin, etc). It tells me that if you're really grounded you can have all that and it won't change you (Denzel, Will Smith, Morgan Freeman), and that you can be 40+ and still be in good shape and keep yourself together (Pitt, Clooney, McConaghey, Brinkley, Fonda, Parker), and that money doesn't guarantee intelligence (OJ, Imus, Vick). The media's there, but it doesn't tell us anything in particular - the message is different depending on who's watching, and no one's forced to watch anything if they choose not to.
Maybe I'm single because I have common sense and not many people these days are able to relate.
That's it - you have common sense, and you can't communicate with everyone else, who you feel are almost all missing it. You're right. Why bother? | |

Posted: 1/5/2008 2:56:41 PM | | You're proving my point by assuming certain celebrities are "good people" and "in shape". They aren't friends of yours so you can't possibly know who's great and who isn't and the people who are airbrushed and lit perfectly in movies aren't always in really great shape. Is everyone this gullible? | |

You're right, everyone in Hollywood is virtually useless and can't be saved...or is that just another assumption? Hmmm...certain people in Hollywood probably are good people and/or are in shape just like non-celebrities. I just gave you an example of how I think fame and money has nothing to with people's basic personalities - even if it's what we're led to believe and it's all crap, it's still a good lesson, since real life is pretty random and has no formula either. Shooting that down is just being cranky because you can't argue it, or it goes against what you believe, which is that the whole world sucks. That'll get ya dates.
Back to the original topic:
I'm now almost 40, in better physical shape than I was at 18, don't smoke, work and make my own money, and make it a point to remain grounded and informed, social and outgoing, and learn and read whenever I can. Looking for someone with the same qualities isn't impossible if you're already attaining them - you doing certain things tells you others out there must be capable of the same - media has nothing to do with that. I'm not unrealistic about what I like in someone, I'm just not interested in dating enough to date less than an equally traited person.
So yeah, I'm single by choice. I don't find it to be a bad thing... | |

Posted: 1/6/2008 9:07:19 AM | | I find few men who are seeking someone like me when I am seeking them. Try as I may, I cannot seem to wrap my possibly feeble mind around the fact that I am avoided like the plague since I have not been married and have no children. But then, most of the men that I have met seemed to have loved and left or loved and were left by women who seem to be totally dysfunctional nightmares. (according to the men, of course) But then, if he keeps being attracted to that type of woman he has major issues that are not compatible with the issues that I might bring to the table. (being attracted to employed, sane, single, emotionally avialable responsible men with manners who like employed, sane, responsible women who are emotionally available with manners seems to be the issue since I am an average looking woman to most men and maybe the type man I seek is so rare that he can look for a beauty queen and the rest of us who are not divorced beuaty queens with children should just accept the fact that we have to settle for the men who are not employed,sane, single, emotionally available, responsible and mannerly? | |

Posted: 1/6/2008 10:19:05 AM | | Ugly: Looks like you think you know me just like you think you know what celebrities are like. I don't think the whole world sucks, just the attitudes of most of the people that inhabit it. You definitely aren't proving me wrong and if I have to be phony and candy coat the truth to gain someone's interest then guess what... I don't want that person anyway. I'd rather never have a date again than put up with immature, shallow people (which seem to be about 90% these days). | |

I've lost interest in you and celebrities at this point - I don't think I know or care to be honest what any of you are like. That's not my problem. I basically took it back to the original topic, because none of that was relevant to the point. I worry about what I am like and what people I deal with are like...that's enough for me.
I don't think the whole world sucks, just the attitudes of most of the people that inhabit it. You definitely aren't proving me wrong and if I have to be phony and candy coat the truth to gain someone's interest then guess what... I don't want that person anyway.
I'm not trying to prove anything to you, this is a conversation to me, not a debate. How you percieve it is your problem. I'm not even sure how what you're saying connects to my last post., but I agree that sugar coating stuff to find a date is sort of dumb...I never said otherwise??
I'd rather never have a date again than put up with immature, shallow people (which seem to be about 90% these days).
P.S. That's pretty close to saying you think the world sucks, but far be it from me to point that out. lol Tell me, how do you know 90% of all people are shallow and where do you get that percentage? I'd love to hear your statistical research.
Personally my radar is sharp so I'm not worried about being taken advantage of or wasting my time - I'd have to want to be with someone enough to compromise myself to end up in that position, and I don't. That's what happens when your desire to be part of a couple overrides your desire to be cautious and realistic. | |

Posted: 1/6/2008 12:06:17 PM | | Happiness is not a destination nor is marraige. Perhaps the journey -relationships thoughout life give you the prespective of what's inportant. Isn't it better to understand yourself and what works for you then to be so impulsive and take marrying someone so litely. Alot of people get go down the isle for all the wrong reasons usually a lack of maturity. Then the baby comes and they are doomed to live with a bad choice. How many people are happy in there union. Start with your own parents. | |

Posted: 1/6/2008 1:24:49 PM | I have never posted here before, but the previous poster stated "start with your own parents". This is soo true, my parents have been married over 40 years and they dont like each other. hahaha my mom married just to get out of her parents house. In the old days being in your twenties and single was a disgrace. Well at my age now I would rather be an old maid than an unhappy cow, in a marriage that I knew should have never taken place in the beginning.

Posted: 1/13/2008 1:35:05 PM | I am not "still single" either,,,,I am just single again,,,,,was with someone for a very long time and never thought I would be in the dating arena again. Oh freaking well, life happens. Live and Learn is what I say now,,,
And I have not gotten involved with anyone since the break up because I haven't found anyone that I wanted to make that commitment to yet.

Posted: 1/14/2008 6:43:29 AM | i see why you are still single.. you are too fussy.
3 years is a short time. i see by the time you find someone you will live in a masion of some 100 squares. wow lucky you are only 38, you will have plenty of time to build it.
i take umbrage at you calling the locals "yobbo's". one day your boys will grow up here and i expect they will also fit into this catagory too.
you say the older men remind you of your father??? did you not like him? or get on?? i wonder if your dad knows how little you think of him?? i expect the older men have alot more to offer than any immature boy, that you might be looking for.
i wonder what family values you are really looking for?? i noticed also that you are sitting up writting to these forums around 2/3am what a waste when you could be tickleing that someone special, instead of sitting on your computer wasteing your time.
i think that you live where you do to hide and use it as an excuse not to get involved.
good luck with your huge house. | |

Posted: 1/14/2008 6:36:57 PM | I am 45, never married, not even a scare. No kids, no baggage, no dama.
Men just expect a woman to have an agenda and don't know how to deal with one that doesn't. The older you get the more you will see that the men you meet have been so beat up and drained dry that any other type of lifestyle is beyond their comprehension.
It isn't you, it's the age old misery loves company and how dare you to not have any! | |

Posted: 1/14/2008 7:31:47 PM | I'm still single because all the guys that i meet tend to either not know what they want or are nothing but damn liars. I don't play head games and I don't lie to the guy that i date. but it seems like no matter what happens i always end up with LOSERS. Are there any real guys out there that actually WANT TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP and not waste my time. I get so sick and tired of all the idiots that "claim" they are ready for a relationship but then when they get in one they aren't ready for one. NEWS FLASH!!! if you don't want to be in a relationship then don't be in one. Save everyone alot of time and heartache and DON'T DATE.
I guess i attract losers because I'm looking for Love. I could give a damn about a big house, or a nice car or lots of money. i only want someone i can fall in love with and be happy with. Does that exsist? I'm beginning to wonder. The guys that i tend to like are usually gay or married and i'm sorry but i don't date gay guys are married guys.
What is with guys not wanting kids? who wouldn't want a child to carry on his name? i love kids. I think children are a wonderful gift from God that should be treasured. That's another thing, I want children and most men don't.
Guys a word of advice: DO ALL OF US WOMEN A FAVOR AND TELL THE TRUTH UPFRONT. Saves alot of time and hassle. | |

Poor people thinking this way. My Child is the Highes Hppiness I have ever felt and feel in my life. I have a good feeling about any children, but special one about my - it's unexplicable, superior feeling of the life infinity existance. Some people are living "without drama", but they will never get such experience, God's given happiness to be a Parent. Love and happy family will give a life to happy and healthy children, they will grow up as happy people and strong nation... This is my point. | |

Not really...some want kids, some don't. For those who want kids (or who didn't expect them), it's a blessing and they can't imagine anything else. For those who don't want kids and don't have them - that's the way they like it.
No one's right or wrong, it's just a matter of different wants and goals in life. | |
