| so, why are you still single?
Posted: 3/2/2008 6:18:32 AM | | Since I do not look like Playboy centerfold (maybe certain body parts might), am independent and able to take care of myself and do not have the correct waist to hip ratio even though at 50 I will not be bearing children I need to hang up even trying to date ? Even at 30 I was the same person i am now, so now I understand why I have never married.... so since I am not what men seek why do so many men seek women like me for sexual encounters when we are supposedly so unattractive? ( sarcasm is dripping from my lips as I type) | |

Posted: 3/2/2008 11:15:57 PM | | What seems to get to me even more is that people keep telling me that I wont be single long or I'll be able to take my pick. It just doesn't work that way. I've been single 2 years | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 5:13:13 AM | | "It doesn't work that way" for you because of your laundry list. I think any guy you choose to date will date you. My guess is that there is always something that you find wrong with them. A lot of women are like this. Try opening up to other types of people and you may be luckier in your pursuit of a good catch. | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 3:01:47 PM | You know, I have both asked this question and been asked this question before. (I know, I am an evil person). In both cases I tend to think that we are trying to find out a little about the other person. Let's face it, we want to know about the web toes....or the bad break up ....or the third eye growing in the middle of the forehead....or the bad attitude. The most direct is to ask. The real question should be "Why do I have to justify me being single in today's society?"
P.S. I still think being single a choice, just not always a conscious choice. | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 8:21:37 PM | I love this response, it totally explains it all. I get asked this question alot too and I usually just repeat it right back to the person and as they answer I say uh huh uh huh.
when I ask them if they would like to go out sometime. Their answer is no. and then they wonder why I am single.  | |

Posted: 3/4/2008 7:59:15 PM | More reasons why The_Scarecrow will most likely die alone:
- I don't go out at all, I don't meet anyone new, I do go up to women, I don't flirt
- I don't have a car(women need a chauffeur, or it won't work)
- I am not a talker or a good story teller so women would get bored fast with me(good story telling guys are usually very popular)
- I basically lack several key qualities that are needed for a relationship to work, so I know it was never meant to be..... Castration seems like an appropriate thing to do as days go by | |

Posted: 3/5/2008 6:57:28 PM | Get that question quite a bit. Hard to answer, I usually say I didn't plan on being single very well. I was in a 20 year relationship and never thought I would be single again. Now I find myself almost ignorant in the dating scene. I don't remember knowing or having the confidence to walk up and talk to wemon. I find even when I get asked out , that I find it hard to say yes,,,been a year now since devorsed and still trying to learn to trust again. I am in the medical field and stay buisy and that is how I get by,,,work out alot too. Anyway , if anyone has any advise ,,,I am here.

Posted: 3/7/2008 12:52:10 PM | | Take it as a compliment,, it usually means people think you are a great catch. I get that question alot and my reply is haven't met my soulmate yet,,,all you can do. | |

Posted: 3/7/2008 10:09:57 PM | No nycshakti, your not the only one who has heard this question. I think by a certain age women seemingly are expected to be unsingle. Personally I don't plan to trade my singlehood for anyone who is not going to enhance my life in some way.
Apparently in my case, I have have been told that I am intimidating. This always makes me laugh because I am just about the most easy going person on earth. So, I guess that it is intimidating to find someone who may really care for you once your over 35 lmao.
Now seriously, I don' attract men who are like me. I'm intelligent, articulate, well educated, very loving, and active. For some reason I only seem to attract men who have some serious problem or another. I'd rather be single. Don't let other people's opinions decide who you will be.

Posted: 3/13/2008 7:09:12 PM | life has dealt me a couple real bad and nasty surprises. especially one of these things that people think will never happen to them. it took me a long time to recover. real long. i would say i am picking up, or trying to pick up where i left off 11 years ago.
except now its all different and much more difficult to get back into it. | |

Posted: 3/14/2008 12:11:10 AM | | After my marriage failed 10 years ago, I just spent time at work and with my daughters. I did date a few ladies and the funny thing was the ones I was interested in and want a serious relationship with wanted to party and vice versa. Now I am at the point in my life that it doesn't bother me to be single. That and it is hard to meet people in my career. Working nights it hard to find the time to go out. | |

Posted: 3/14/2008 9:49:15 AM | This is a great thread. Most of the posts are really funny. I get this question a lot too, and I used to take it as an accusation that I was somehow doing something wrong, but now I'm confident enough in my decisions to not care whether other people think I "should" be married.
I don't know that marriage will ever be something that benefits me. I don't intend to ever have kids, so why do I need to be married? I like moving all around the world, and seem to switch continents every 5 years or so. My boyfriends have never been able or willing to move with me, so I always have to end the relationship to start my new life. I wouldn't trade those experiences for a marriage with any of those men. Even now, living in the Bay Area, I'm thinking about Europe. To me, this is the life. | |

I'll take your therapist's number though. It's been a while since I saw one, it might help! I hate this being single bit. I feel I need someone I can come home to, relax with, fight with & then make up!!!
How about it?!?

Posted: 3/15/2008 12:45:16 PM | I think at my age, it is safe to say that there is no soulmate for me, I am too ugly.
Sometimes god makes a mistake, and makes a person odd. I am one | |

Posted: 3/15/2008 5:37:04 PM | | I know why im still single. Im still single because I realize it takes more than a physical attraction to form a relationship. I also took time away from the whole dating situation to better understand myself, what I want, and what I need. Now with a better understanding of all of that it is easier to weed out those that will not fit into my life either as a potential signifigant other or even friends. The only downfall to being single after 30 is that most places that you can meet socially are places catered to the younger crowds like bars and clubs. If most of you are like me you have a preconceived notion that you wont meet anyone of any value there so you dont even bother. Find me a woman that attracts me mentally, emotionally, as well as physically and I wont be single anymore lol | |

Posted: 3/15/2008 7:48:59 PM | I'm single because I can't find someone who will still find me attractive when I have the ultimate bed-head going on in the morning and no makeup and still love me in my pink flannel jammies just as much as when I am wearing VS....lol... I have actually seen men run in fear from seeing my my bed-head lol.
Maybe because I snore...really I do as much as I hate to admit it.
Because I can't find anyone who wants to have a picnic under the stars at midnight listening to Dean Martin and dance with me or to just to sit in the back yard around a campfire relaxing toasting marshmallows.
Because I can't find anyone who can sit and laugh with me while I watch the Simpsons and listen to me argue the fact that Homer Simpson could quite possibly be the perfect husband ( I can tell you why I think that l) but can still have an interesting discussion about politics, religion, science and about life in general.
Because I can't find anyone who is comfortable enough to find joy in going to see live music in a bar or have a quiet night at home cooking dinner together while watching dirty jobs and drinking martini's and have fun in either situation.
Because I can't find someone open minded enough to take salsa or tango lessons but will still go with me to a ballgame and eat hotdogs and drink a beer.
Because I can't find someone who can respect they fact that I have very close friends to me that are like family and have supported me through some hard times in life and I will always make time for them.
Because I can't find anyone who understands that I have family obligations and
responsibility that for right now are a very important part of my life. Most people want instant gratification or the immediate date with someone who will meet them after one email. Nothing wrong with that, if that is what you are looking for, but I am looking for a little more at this point and don't have a ton of free time to go out on a million dates. I have been single for a long time and had my fun but am at a little bit of different point in life.
Because I can't find anyone who can understand that at this point in my life I feel it is important to me to take the time to find out whether or not we are compatible and it will work before I just jump into something.
Because I can't find someone who understands that I have old fashioned values but am also comfortable with myself and have an out-going personality at the same time.
Apparently I am single because I am just to picky I guess lol.
On the other hand though, it really doesn't bother me when people ask the question of why I am single. Although I would eventually like to think that I would meet that special person in life but if it doesn't happen I am still happy with my life. I actually have no problem or feel bad about being single and have no problem telling that to someone when they ask why I am single.
Sometimes you click with someone and sometimes you don't. That is just the way dating goes sometimes. I guess I have a little bit of high standards and I don't think there is anything wrong with people who know what they want and won't settle for less. Everyone is looking for something different (nothing wrong with that) and hopefully one day we will all find what we are looking for and who we are compatible with. | |

Posted: 3/15/2008 8:16:25 PM | I am always asked, "When are you getting married?"
I tell them, "probably never."
They ask, "Why?"
I reply, "Because women are crazier than shithouse rats, and I'm an ***hole!"
That usually ends their inquisition. | |
